I have my hard drive in my computer along with a friend's hard drive. I can only boot if my hard drive is the master and my friend's hard drive is the slave. I pulled Excel and Word documents off my friend's hard drive but now she wants to get her Outlook addresses. She never made a .pst file...

I have searched the Internet far and wide and cannot find the solution to this problem. I uninstalled Office 2003 and installed Office XP Professional. Now, whenever I click on the Send/Receive button in Outlook, I get "The operation failed". That's all. No other message, no numbers, nothing...

Sorry to ask such a dumb question. What does the icon of a little lock on a folder in Group Policy Editor indicate?

The resolution was to restart the Netlogon service and to make sure dynamic updates were allowed in DNS.

I am installing Exchange 2003 and running the dcdiag utility. I have a single forest, ttd.com. This is just a test on a single home server. I have DNS records that point to my server. When I ping the server name (SERVER), it resolves to the correct ip address. However, when I do an NSLOOKUP, it...

Never worked with a PIX before but someone asked me to take a look. They cannot access OWA. They get "Page cannot be displayed". Here is the config. Bear in mind that someone who knew nothing about PIX was trying to figure out the problem before they called me so there may be some wierd lines in...

Clearing the CMOS did the trick. Thanks Dragon!!

I put the first hard drive into my other desktop and I can see all the contents just fine. So something on the other desktop will not find an OS on any hard drive.

Getting an error message on boot up that operating system cannot be found. I put in a hard drive from another desktop that I know works fine and I am getting the same error message. Any ideas?

Turns out the problem was the parent domain needed to open some ports on their router and edit an access list to allow open communication from the child to the parent. Good info to know for the future.

There is no Enterprise Admin group listed anywhere in AD. We are a child domain. I'm wondering if the parent domain has to do somethng so we can authorize the DHCP scopes.

I meant to say authorize the DHCP scopes instead of activate them. When I look for groups to join, I do not see Enterprise Admins. I'm still getting the Access is denied error when tryinmg to authorize the scopes.

Sorry for all the questions. I got thrown into this fire this week with very little AD knowledge. I got a good book that I will spend the entire weekend studying. In the meantime, I appreciate your help and patience with me. I created DHCP scopes. I tried to activate them but I get "DHCP-Acces...

OK, another question. On our AD structure, users log on to the ABCDEF domain. This is the NetBIOS name for the domain that was put in when the AD wizard was initially run. Is there a way to change that NetBIOS name to GHIJKL so that users, when they are logging in, are prompted to log into the...

There is an AD structure in place here called location.business.com. It was set up as a separate domain (not forest). It was supposed to be a child domain of business.com, but someone did not set it up that way. When they ran the AD wizard, they said the parent domain was location.business.com...
