Morning all, I have a server running Arcserve R11.1 on an NT server. After migrating the server to an AD environment the database doesn't register that files have been backed up. The activity log says the backup has been sucessful and when restoring from session the session is listed buit there...

Dear all, This is probably a very easy question so feel free to laugh but I'm new to Cisco and can't find the answer. I'd like to setup a "read-only" account on a 3548 cisco switch and a 6509 box so that a certain meddlesome manager of mine can see all the config but change absoloutely none...

Hello all, I currently have a Windows 2000 server that recently stopped giving the option to share folders. There are three drives on it and this problem occurs on all of them. Once you right click a folder the full list of options appears on screen but if you click on properties or sharing...

Good morning all, I need to copy some MS Office template files to a large number of clients on my network. I thought I remembered that this was possible using the Epolicy Mirror task but can't see how. I'm using Epolicy 3.6.0. Has this option been deleted or am I mixing Epo up with something...

Good morning all, Got an x series 345 server with an IBM serveRAID 5i card with an LTO 3 drive attached. Last week I was getting backup \ restore throughput of 1.2 Gb a minute. I've upgraded the firmware to 7.1 ( from 6.1 ) and now the tape errors with "cannot locate header" error. I've been...

Good morning all, I currently have a network running many IBM 8686 ( x series 360 ) servers. One of them recently stopped accepting connections when you are trying to copy a large ( 2 Gb ) file to it. You can still ping the server but you cannot map a drive to it - it times out. You can however...

Hello people, I have two IBM x345 boxes connected to a Cisco 6500 via 100 Mb copper. The network cards and details are both set identically ( apart from IP address obviously ) but when I try to copy files from one to the other it takes 12 times longer from srvrA to srvrB than it does back the...

Hello all, I want to migrate the DHCP service on my network to another box which has a different IP address. I'm now OK with the migration procedure but anxious of the fact that the IP address is changing. Does anyone know of any considerations I should be aware of ? Thanks people.... Sorry...

Good morning people, I currently have an NT4 domain with W2000 servers and 1 2003 server on it. My current DHCP server is to be retired this weekend and I want to move the DHCP database from an NT4 box to the 2003 one. I can find documentation for going from NT4 to W2K but not from NT4 to...

Good morning all, I've done some network utilization testing in random places on an IEEE 802.3 network using various Cisco switches, 70 servers and 400 clients. All parts of the network were quiet ( about 4 % utilization ) apart from one area that was sometimes running at 28 %. Does...

Good morning all, I've been told by an unreliable source that IBM servers can now have 1 NIC that uses 2 IP adresses. Can anyone tell me if there's any truth in this and if so can they point me to a white paper somewhere for more info ? I've looked on the IBM website but can't find any details...

Good afternoon people, Haven't dealt with NT4 for sometime now and can't remember how to backup the SAM database. I'm sure this will be a piece of cake for people of your caliber ! All the best and thanks in advance.... Jars.

Hello all, I have a network with 450 pc's and approx. 50 servers, NT4 & W2000 - ( not AD ). I need to retire my current DHCP server and am planning to switch the facility on on a newer one. Are there any implications involved in doing this ? Will the new server just give out new...
