Mark, Thanks for the response, If I do it by login script, do I simply deploy it once and then remove it or does it have to stay in the login script? My original thoughts on a login script would be that it would slow down client boot speeds, but if it was only for a couple of login's I could...

I'm new to using the WshController Object which allows you to create a "controller script' that can run 'worker scripts' against remote computers. I'm in a W2k3 domain and run a xp pro desktop. I would like to essentailly create a vb controller script that reads off a text file of workstations...

Recently one of my SQL 2005 SP2 databases had something strange happen to it. For some reason and entire table inside the DB was completly emptied. no data left at all. There are only a few people with "sa" equivalent access(using windows Auth) to this DB and no one said they were even in that...

Great posts! Lots of ideas! Well I tried MSword on load(GPO) and it wasn’t so speedy either. WRKSTN perfmon showed system maxed cpu/ram for couple of minutes. The Vscan has not been configured for central mgmt yet…(next project) So I simply went in and turned off the file system and Email auto...

Thanks for the idea's. Event logs are clean. First thing I will try is having MS Word 2003 load on startup via GPO instead of iexplore and see what happens. I believe the workstations all have Symantec AV 9 Corp ed. I will unintstall/restart and see if it makes a difference. I Really...

I have two - 2000 SP4 DC’s , Five 2000SP4 Mbrsrvs, 80 XP Sp2 clients 100mb cisco switched network.(portfast on). Only have the 2 default GPO’s, however the previous admin has tweaked them and never backed them up previous. My problem is on cold boot, all pc’s login fine to windows XP SP2, then...

Currently I have 2 DC's one has all the fsmo roles including DNS server and master browser (DNS-ADI). the other DC is a plain DC with no DNS, It does point to the other DC for ADI-DNS. Would I benefit performance wise if I installed ADI-DNS on this second server and also made it a GC? or should...

I have done similar to bracadar on a 2003 server Dell 2600 poweredge. I used norton ghost 7 corp edition. Simply made a ghost network boot disk for my DC and then booted off it and pushed an image up to my ghost server. Then I blew away the raid array and logical volume and removed the 4 - 36Gb...

Domino 7.0.2fp2 Started terminating abnormally throughout the day today. Log reads Thread =[0a84:0012-0bc4] Stack base = 0x13fb0090, statck size = 3448bytes Panic: Invalid pool Free Chain Server Diags on hardware came up fine, Any ideas where to start?

I wonder if everyone has this same problem as I? I save a blank document on a network share say W:\test.doc I open this document and click “insert” “picture” “from File” Browse to my W:\ and find pic.jpg and choose “Insert” “link to file” and save the document and close and reopen the file. I...

I should mention that I am looking for an automated way to fix this as there are between 15-20 thousand of these files that need to be repaired since the upgrade of MS office. Might end up making the $$ call to microsoft for a fix...

User opens up an existing word doc on the W:\ (sort of a template) which is read only(so it can’t be altered), then saves it to a general directory on the W:\ as “Filex.doc” using Office XP (word 2002). Next the user opens “Filex.doc” and inserts some pictures as hyperlinks from R:\ (W:\ and...

Thanks again for the tips, I now have a much better grasp on DNS. Problem ended up being that I was receiving a DNS event 4515, 4004 and some KCC events on one of my DC’s due to the fact I jumped the gun on when AD replication was taking place and had some Duplicate DNS partitions created in the...

Thanks again for the tips, I now have a much better grasp on ADI DNS. Problem ended up being that I was receiving a DNS event 4515, 4004 and some KCC events on one of my DC’s due to the fact I jumped the gun on when AD replication was taking place and had some Duplicate DNS partitions created in...

Thanks for the info, When you say ADI is automatic, when I right click on the zone, go to properties,then zone transfers tab,the box for allow zone transfers is empty. Should it be or should I enter in the other DC's IP's? I double checked and do have the ISP (2) addresses in the forwarder...
