Is your Exchange Server behind a Firewall. If so, what type of Firewall are you using. We use a Watchguard Firebox 1000 and our Exchange server is behind it. The simplest way to stop and protect your users from receiving virus like attachments is to setup your Firewall to remove them prior to...

I also had the similar problem with a Dell PE4600 W2K Server. The problem was a combination of a bad network card driver and the addition of a Dell Managed Switch that wasn't configured correctly. Although it could be related to DNS issues, I would still check your hardware, possibly try...

Just a shot in the dark, but has anyone made any changes to your Firewall SMTP settings. I know that we were having proplems a while ago where we were being bombarded with emails addressed to every name under the sun with our domain name at the end. For example if our Domain was test.com we...

The best place to start is your Hardware vendor, they should be able to answer all your questions. As for the license, we are running W2K on dual process and there was not additional cost for licenses, I don't even think that there's such a license. I beleive that the dual processor license...

Why not try and solve the initial problem instead of finding ways around it. If you are saying Terminal Services will not start on the Servers, then focus on that problem first. What is the problem you are having on the Server? Answer that and I will try to help you solve it. I'm sure that...

I'm sure that you can do this using the Local Security Policy settings on your W2K server. Go to START>Programs>Administrative Tools>Local Security Policy Check the setting under Account Policies and Local Policies, you should find your answer there.

Once you have your server up and running, do some security lock down before proceeding with the software installations. Install the Microsoft Baseline Security Analyzer on a workstation connected to your 2000 domain and have it do a security check of your server. You can enter the IP address...

Simply send the VP a link to Symantec's website and have him read some of the newest threats. Almost all of the new viruses are using random From and To addresses found in documents and addressbooks of an infected computer. Make sure that no one on your network is infected with any virus or...

If you are certain that this started when you installed the last update from Microsoft, you should contact them. Usually when this happens they will not charge for support, due to the fact that their update could be the cause. Give them a call and stick to your guns, stick to the fact that...

clubfx2, instead of finding a way around the problem, wouldn't you prefer to find out what was causing the problem. The shutting down problem is not normal and you should try to find out what is hanging the server instead of writing a script that will force the shutdown. However, if you did...

Never used SUS. However, I am using UpdateExpert by StBernard and it works great. I can scan all the workstations on my network with the ability to deploy, schedule, and select which patches to install. The software will check IIS, Windows, Office, Exchange, Internet Explorer, SQL and many...

Are you still having a switch proplem? if so maybe this senero can provide some insight for you. We were experiencing the some problem that you are having now with one of our W2K Servers. The connection to the server would suddenly drop and the only way to get it back up on the network was to...

I don't know if it is safe to do it, but we don't. I also would like to know if it is safe to do it and if it will even do anything for you.
