Can anyone point me to a good instruction paper on how to do this, I am running server 2008 standard editions SP1 64bit, the print server is the same but 32bit, the clients are mostly XP Pro, I have been reading a bit, is this executable callled pushprinterconnections.exe mandatory for all xp...

Have a load of computers on domain that are actually not physically here anymore, of course things have got out of hand and no-one seems to know which are not used and which are still in use. Is there a way to remove them automatically after a period of time?

We have a time server and some of the clients are not correct, using XP Pro, can reset the time to be correct but after a few minutes it reverts to the wrong time. The time servers time is correct. The clients are all supposed to get their time from the server. This started when daylight...

Yes thanks, defrag is the sort of thing I was talking about, is there any utility that can be run on a server to sort out the registry or is that a bad thing to do? Our servers are probably coming to the end of their lives and we want to keep them going for a bit longer

Thanks for the speedy reply, I was thinking more of manual checks, I thought maybe there was a document by microsoft detailing what to do but I cannot find anything useful

Can anyone give me advice on what I should be doing to keep the servers running well, apart from looking at the event log etc.? Is there a white paper on server maintenance anywhere?

Students are using Word to browse the machine names on the network and although they cannot open files they can list the file names by \c$. We want to stop them doing this as teachers are convinced their files are being 'hacked' (the word of the week). Has anyone out there been able to stop...

Can anyone tell me where to find these, I have disk 1 and 2 but they are not on there as *.adm, they may be in an msi or something. Anyway I want to make sure I have all the updated adm files the ones in c:\windows\inf seem to be old ones, mostly 2003. I would have thought that when the new R2...
