We run GP as well - we run a WSUS server that pushes out updates to every one - so I can't really just turn off GP. Drats!

Did this DNS settings change fix your problem niallo32? I'm having the same trouble - but DHCP pushes out a local DNS server to all clients (not a ISP DNS server) so I guess our problem is something else. Just wondered if this fix sorted your problem.

Brilliant - thank you both for your help :) I totally forgot about the FROM field - (doh) - so at least I have a couple of ways around the problem now. Thanks :) A

Morning! We are currently starting to have the problem where by some users are needing to have more than one email account within Exchange 2000. So for example email for companya and companyb all come to the exchange server and get delivered to the end user. Thats fine and works OK - BUT -...

I did a search for this and could not find an answer. This could be due to it being a simple question :) . Lets say I work for Company A. We own the domain and all the emails are directed to our Exchange server. I have an email address of abc@companyA.com. I pick these emails up in Outlook...

And the updated adm files can be found from...? Are they on the microsoft site?

Morning! I have a few (probably basic) questions regardig GPOs. Can someone help me out. 1) Why does my XP Client have more GP options than the W2K server we have? For example - my XP machine has more Windows Firewall options. Not sure why that is... 2) If I wanted to lock XP machines...

Brill - cheers Angela - and have a merry Xmas your self! Hope Santa brings everything you want... :)

Just out of interest - is an Irish Thankyou bigger than an English Thankyou...??? And how come the first part of that KB article works for you and not for us. Did you apply the rule using a Group Policy or manually on the PC? Cheers A

Here is the article you need. It took me ages to find it the first time - and I found it within 5 seconds this time!!! Anyway - enough babbling! Check this: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;883555 Byeeeeeeeee A
