I don't mean to be a pest, but wouldn't it be easier for you and more cost effective to use Outlook Web Access which is part of Exchange and used through your browser (preferably IE). Then students can access their mail from any computer w/ an internet connection...even from home (if you let...

That's what I wanted to hear about advanced server! I'm leaning towards pst's for the loads of old mail that's on my current server from before I set limits and rights. In addition, I have close to no faith in Arcserve! We do full nightly backups to DLT, and it's great for recovering files...

Hey all, My company is merging w/ another and I have the fun task of connecting all of our systems. My first objective is to build a bigger Exchange server to handle the added users (approximately 400 total). They currently don't have a mail system, so that parts easy! Here's where it gets...

Hey all, I've got my VPN working perfectly on 95/98/2000, but am having problems establishing a DSL connection before I log into my home NT4 machine. I have to secure a VPN connection before I log in, so I can have my login scripts/access to the network. The DUN option on Enternet doesn't seem...

Hey all, I've been using ARCserve 2000 AE for a week now and wanted to setup a very basic user friendly rotation using device groups. This is an NT system using an HP Surestore 1/9 DLT drive (9 slot). I have 4 full backups scheduled, each to it's own device group (i.e. Tues device group =...

Hey all, My new HP C7145 Autoloader is not backing up our servers any faster than our old DAT changer did. I set it up on our dual xeon processor Netfinity, on it's own Adaptec ADPU160M SCSI bus, and I'm getting transfer rates ranging from 25MB per minute to 315MB per minute. This can be off...

Thanks for the info SteelDragon...I've taken the home share commands out of the script and am letting NT map their home directory on it's own (via Home Directory path in usrmgr). It still drops it on occasion and it's not necessarily @ peak hours. I would go along w/ the network idea, but I...

I Just did this last weekend for my 140 users home directories (moved to another server). I was able to use ARCServe (our backup software) to mve the files to the new machine while holding the NTFS security, but had to go in and re-share each folder. SCopy.exe will help you do the same thing...

Hey all, I've just recently implimented a KIX32 login script throughout my NT4 domain (all NT users w/ local profiles). My script runs w/out errors 90% of the time. 10% of the time, it will map the users home directory share (H:\username$) and then drop it when the script finishes. The...

Didn't work, but it doesn't matter, because the UPS man brought me a nice package from SYmantec today! NA ofr Exchange 2.1! Apparently, my company is on an update plan!

Okay...please forgive my ignorance, but how do you get NA exchange to update? All I have is the web enabled version of NA for exchange and there aren't any options beyond your basic scanning and live-updates. I went to NA's website and found updates, but they're only for Live update, and a...

Trust me...Exchange address book is worlds better than Notes. First of all, I would use Outlook 98 or 2000 for your clients...actually, I think you have to use the full version of Outlook to setup accounts for an exchange server(unless you're using pop accounts). That's why you're getting an...

I realized that I have NA for Exchange 2.0.... Is there a major difference between 2.0 and 2.1? Is it an upgrade (free would always be nice!!!). I've noticed most references/fixes/writeups to the exchange portion of NA refer to version 2.x. Typically that would mean they are very similar...

Guys, I found it myself. I figured Symantec would be the ;last people to freely tell you to tweak your registry! Here's the link... http://service1.symantec.com/SUPPORT/nav.nsf/pfdocs/2000071215411306
