Nope, no Novell/Win2k interaction at all (other than backup exec remote agent to backup the win2k box to a novell backup media server). My main worry is migrating ms sql server correctly. Also, I hope I'm not leaving anything behind. Normally, I'd grab an image of the server. That's not...

Well, I do have (in this case) the luxury of having just a few client machines. I would think that if I disjoined (unjoined?) them from the domain before I kill the domain controller and then rejoin when the new dc comes up, I would be fine. Right?

I have a win2k server that has been severly comprimised (and has been for some time). Even though I have done the forensics and gotten the biggest problems taken care of, I do not hold any confidence in the security of this server. Soooo.... Here's what I'd like to do: This box's main...

Hey, never thought about that. Maybe I'll give it a try.

Yeah, I'm using the migration wizard for migrating data only. I'm not using it for NDS because(as far as I understand) you can't do the final migration without taking the old server completely out of production. I'd like to do a test migration to the new server and evaluate it for little while...

I've got a Netware 5.1 box. I need to migrate everything on it to new hardware. Environment is very simple, this is the only NW server we've got. It's serving up NDS, Groupwise, file services and print queue service. I've installed Netware on the new server. I plan on migrating the data by...

OK, I solved it. Can't believe it, but I solved it. I've gotta describe the fix, 'cause it's good... After hours and hours of troubleshooting, the cause seemed to obviously be the registry, specifically the software hive which was a whopping 175mb in size. At first I didn't pay too much...

Oh, forgot to mention... I get the blue screen before windows boots to GUI.

The funny thing is, I am logging in as administrator. Still no luck. I'll be poking at it today. Any other ideas, folks?

OK, I've got a good one I've been puzzling over for the past few days. I have an existing win2k server whose video card (Hercules 3d Prophet 4000 XT) needs to be replaced. When I pop in the new card (MSI nvidia based card) everything is fine until I install the new driver. After driver...

Just tested it. If I disconnect that server from the network, GWIA almost immediately goes into a shutdown.

I believe you're thinking of the GWIA being on the same machine. If the GWIA is run on a seperate box than the POA and MTA (I believe Novell calls this config "Remote"), and the POA goes down, then the GWIA will automatically exit not long after it loses connection with the post office. I'd...

Ooh. How is it done? Do I have to load the gwia with certain switches?

Hey there folks, I'm running GW 6.0, with the POA and MTA on our main server (NW 5.1)and the GWIA and Webaccess on a seperate server (NW 6.0). My question is this: Is there anyway to keep the GWIA loaded even if the POA is down? I've run into a few situations where the GWIA shut down...

Hmm... I don't see "Error handling" underneatht the tools menu in BE admin console.
