We have our Password Policy (length, age, etc.) applied using the Default Domain Policy GPO. This works fine, but sometimes we want to set up a simple password for a temporary purpose, but we can't because of our password policy. Is there a way to "administrativly overide" the password policy...

In my experience, if it is an actual product problem and not configuration, you can get MS to not charge you. Make sure you ask for the freebie!

Is it possible to have some extensions go to a different "Operator" when they press zero? Even disabling the feature from a group of phones would be usefull- currently, 0 is using FNO 64: Access Code Convert which sends callers to our Operator. It doesn't seem that FNO 64 is...

I thought this would be a simple task: Find out what users haven't logged on in a long time. I looked in System Manager under "Mailboxes" under the Mailbox Store, which tells me that NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM last logged onto almost all mailboxes last night around midnight. I guess this...

I was just given the task of managing our System Wide backups, which are pretty straight forward, with one exception: Can I backup Exchange Public Folders individually, in the same way I can backup individual mailboxes? If not directly, is there a workaround? Thanks! :-)

You don't even have to run it from the workstation itself, you can launch shutdown.exe from any user account who is a local administrator on that machine. Domain Admins group is added to machines by default when they join the domain, so you wouldn't even have to visit each machine (as long as...

Using group policy, I can see how to delete local copies of Roaming Profiles....but we are not using roaming profiles...and the profiles build up on our public computing workstations. Is there a way to have those local profiles deleted (or not saved) using AD? Also, we don't want to apply any...

I am looking for a utility that will creat a distribution group based on a list of usernames that I feed it....does anyone know of such a utility that comes with a resource kit, or even a 3rd party app that will do this? Thanks!

Thanks! I found that I have a copy of createusers.vbs, but can't seem to locate and directions on how to use it. The /? switch, as usual, wasn't very helpful...Do you have any cheat sheets?

We are a college, so it not daily, but based on the academic calendar. In August we will create 500-600 new user accounts, and another 200 or so in December for the Spring Semester. We also have a small graduate program that will admit 20 or so students at different intervals throughout the...

Are there any utility programs that can take a list of names, create a user account for them and also turn on their Exchange Mailbox as well? We are running Win2k AD domain with Exchange2k, and have been creating users manually. Would like a utility to speed up the process.

Are there any "Call Accounting" packages that can talk back to the F9600? For example, if a users reaches a predefined $$ amount, the software will send a DEL AC command to the PBX to kill that person's ability to make long distance calls?

Yes, any information on how that works would be great. Do you have a website I can check out for more info on the Centurian Guard?

Thanks dvornik, We need to have users log on with their own Usernames....our Students have their personal H:\ drive (personal network storage) only they have access to, as well as other network drives that different groups of people have access to (based on Username.) We have used Fortress'...

Thanks for the info. We are in a networked environment. I think I looked into using mandatory profiles, but the problem is, I don't want the mandatory profiles to be stored in users' domain accounts, I only want to enforce the profile or policy on specific machines. We are a college, and...
