I need to make a single change to a GPO in Active Directory to the default Administrative Template. When I do a gpresult /v it lists this policy setting. When I attempt to edit the policy in the editor, it is not visible. How do I edit the policy?

I have 200 work laptops. After adding them to Active Directory, I can connect to the Internet at work just fine. they can connect to the work network through a VPN connection just fine. On the other hand, when I connect any one of them to a broadband connection outside of work, they will not...

I have numerous files in c:\winnt\temp, some of which are two years old and older. Can I safely delete the older files and leave the more current ones?

Q. Why did I do an offline defrag? A. I asked users to purge mail and I am setting limits, which they have done. Some users deleted as much as 600-plus megs of email from their respective boxes. I temporarily turned off deleted items retention as you mentioned prior to posting this message...

Good day. I recently ran an offline defragment on my Exchange 2000 server. Although it's size decreased, it did not decrease to the expected level. For example, the cumulative size of the user mailboxes is 9.5 gigs versus 15 gigs for the combined total of EDB and STM files. Can someone...

I am attempting to configure a group policy for setting local administrator privileges. Thank you in advance for the helpful tips.

Good suggestion, however, he has a single rule based on one recipient that does not appear to be related to this issue.

Unfortunately, I do not know what his rules were.

I have a user who logs on to multiple machines. He inadvertently selected server side rules when prompted to do so. All of his email beyond two days old disappeared. How do I reverse this?

Are there any tools that can report which machines have .net installed that you are aware of?

Thanks porkchopexpress.

Good day. I need to deploy .net framework on 340 PCs. I know that deployment can be done via a GPO, however, the framework includes patches. Is there a method by which an all inclusive package can be used to distribute?

lebisol, I'll have to check the recipient policy to determine if it matches the old server. In addition, the old server is not completely gone. I am just at a stage to begin moving mailboxes. I need to thoroughly test the new server for a time before making a wholesale move.
