Hi All, I have been tasked with carrying out an audit on our Server estate (350 + Windows Servers), trying to establish if and where they back up to. (Don't ask, just been through painful merger process and inherited a load of kit we need to support). Anyhow, what I would like to know is; is...

I have the following script, to reset the Administrator password based on membership of an OU. However, I would like to report a success or failure when the script connects to the computer. I added the 'On Error Resume Next' line to avoid the errors, but I can't see the progress of the script...

Within Active Directory, User Properties, there is the Account tab, this where you can limit the Workstations a user can log on to. The question is, is there a limit to the number of workstations you can add to this property? In User Manager for Domains it was 8. In AD I believe the limit...

98SE and XP do work well together, however it would be easier to have 98SE installed first and then install XP to the 2nd partition. This is the easiest and less messy way, is this possible?? DEC If it helps, let me know, if it doesn't, let me know. It's the only way I'll learn.

Spot on Hasit, the formula for 'highlighting' duplicates has done the trick. I can now spot the duplicates, sort the list and delete the duplicates. It's still a manual option, but I can do in 30 seconds, what I used to do in 30 minutes!! Many thanks. DEC If it helps, let me know, if it...

OK, I feel this is a easy one for you to answer, but I can't think of an easy solution. Scenario is; I have a long list of Names(Total), a report is run on these Names(Total), the output is then another list of Names(Found). I would like an easy way of removing the Names(Found) from the...

Thanks both, I think I will do it manually this time, but have a 'playaround' with addusers, on a test system. DEC If it helps, let me know, if it doesn't, let me know. It's the only way I'll learn.

Is there an easy way to create say 100 new user accounts with User Mnager? I need to add 100 users with a generic account name (differentiated by a number suffix), eg library001, library002 etc. It's easy to do the single user and copy, but is there someway to do 100 straight off, without having...

Obviously I haven't looked hard enough! Maybe due to the fact I limited my search to the UK. Thanks for that info. it all looks vary promising. DEC If it helps, let me know, if it doesn't, let me know. It's the only way I'll learn.

A client of mine uses medical equipment which dumps data to a PCMCIA card. Now she used to download the data to a laptop by inserting the cards into the PCMCIA slot. However, she now has a desktop PC and needs to read the data. Has anybody heard of or seen a PCMCIA card reader for a PC...

Yes, checked that. The Child and Master fields are correct. But adding a record to the Main Form doesn't update the Tables that the Sub Forms are derived from. Is there something I need to do as an 'On Update' ?? Sorry, clutching at straws at the moment. I have a work around, where if some...

Thanks for that, I have now the main form and three subforms. However I still can't get the foreign keys to reflect the primary key in the main form. What should the relationships be? With a one-to-one join the related records aren't updated, with a one-to-many join, Access will not allow me to...

Ok, here is the scenario. I have an equipment database to track software licences and server hardware. I have a main table for the server hardware and three other tables listing different licences, versions, revisions, upgrades etc. The only field that links the 4 tables is the Server_Name. I...

Unica, resolved all the problems now, I had to write a small macro to automate the 'bookmarking' for the JobNumber, because it kept on entering spaces after the digits and it wouldn't compound the two bookmarks. Anyhoo, all OK now, many thanks. DEC If it helps, let me know, if it doesn't, let...

Hi Unica, having a problem with the code, it only recognises the first bookmark and doesn't join them together, as a compound name. I have deleted and recreated the bookmarks several times, but can't the compounding to work, any suggestions. I'm going to re write the code now from the above...
