You might try Cleanwipe - the tool provided by Symantec support - to remove all the files and clean up the registry. There are manual removal documents available from Symantec but registry edits can be a challenge if you aren't comfortable doing them. I haven't seen the standard uninstall work...

Do any of you use this Dynamics GP product for Job Cost or Project Accounting in a multi-currency environment? We are looking at about 20 users accessing the system over the internet via terminal server and are not familiar with the product. Revenue updates need to be done monthly based on % of...

I disabled the XIOMGR. That seemed to resolve the reboots and we haven't had a freeze for a few days now. My fingers are crossed!

Yes. I set up the DNS on Friday so time will tell if there is any omprovement.

No scripts are involved, just the reconnect at login function of the Tools - Map Network Drive option in My Computer. Given this method of reconnecting, does the DNS have any impact? If they use fixed IP addresses for the servers and workstations is DHCP still required? For a small network...

What about the DNS server? If all addresses are fixed the DHCP issue becomes moot.

Small network with two workgroup servers and 30 workstations currently using DHCP for all IP addresses. The mappings from the workstations to the servers seem slow after a reboot. Would this help --> Assign fixed IP addresses to all the workstations and servers and let the server with the main...

I have a new Win 2003 R2 Standard server running PSQL V10, Symantec EndPoint and Symantec Backup Exec as a Workgroup server. When I boot the server the Backup Exec Services and/or PSQL Services are Starting but not Started with no error messages. I can't Stop them or Restart them as the options...

Upgrading to 11.0.4202.75 was necessary on our new Windows 2008 standard 64 bit server to resolve the blocked connections issue. We had .4000.2295 but that didn't do the trick. The connnections would work for up to an hour and then prevent any further connections or reconnections until we...

That 4025 build of the Corporate EndPoint software seems to have resolved the problem of blocking access to the files. All users have been able to connect and work with those files so far today. I understand from other sites that this problem can occur after a random amount of time - up to...

Brand new 2008 standard 64 bit system works properly for an hour or so sharing files with about a dozen users before deciding to no longer cooperate. There are no events being logged on the server. Have just updated to the 11.0.4.4025 Endpoint build so I'll know tomorrow if that solved the...

Re peer to peer vs Active Directory We supply one stop support services for a number of companies. This minimalist behaviour has just evolved. These peer to peer sites are typically one location plants or offices. We need our customers to be self reliant and have found security to be a non...

We are retiring a Novell server that provided file storage for the last umpteen years. Am I safe to go with a 64 bit Windows 2008 Standard server or are there any issues I should watch for? I can still go with a 2003 Standard R2 server that I wouldn't expect any problems with. The application...

I think I might be off track here. Should I be using a WINS configuration? Thanks

Small network has replaced a Novell IPX box with Microsoft 2003 server running TCP/IP. Main complaint is the time required for the workstations to establish the link to the application when compared to the IPX system. The Windows 2003 server has a static address. They do not use Active...
