I've recently taken over the day to day looking after of a definity. I'm a Siemens person really. Before I liase with the maintainers can anyone tell me where I might find a list of user codes for the system - no one on site seems to know them. i.e. what might a user dial to put a ring back...

If you want to see if the problem is only when a specific server is validating the login at the desktop PC open the command prompt and type echo %logonserver% this will tell you which server has validated the login **One day, I will find a question that no one else has answered........and will...

Hi there, it doesn't even let me get that far. Soon as I run setup.ext if comes up the windows message about windows installer and that's that. I'm going to try using the microsoft windows installer repair tool but I don't think that will help **One day, I will find a question that no one...

Please can someone help ? I uninstalled Office 2k from a desktop running NT4 sp6. When I tried to reinstall I just get a message telling me that the windows installer has been updated and to reboot the PC and then re-run setup to continue. I'm installing from a network share and never had...

I believe that it's been some time since BT have rolled out any new DASS installations - it's all been Q931. Hopefully if the old DASS stuff is going to cause problems BT will sort it out and move everyone over. Only Joking **One day, I will find a question that no one else has...

All sorted. Although we'd told it in the registery that it wasn't a master browser the server had decided to ignore that (we only did the change 7 months ago). Disabling the Computer browser server sorted it. **One day, I will find a question that no one else has answered........and will...

Got a real problem. I've got a 2003 server on my NT domain that randomly decides to take over as the master browser (even though we have done a registry change to tell it it's not). This means that users can not access anything on it's share. Please can someone tell me how to resolve this as...

Hi there, I have a problem running XP pro SP2. Recently I've found that the volume control won't maximise. If I double click on it it opens on the task bar but minimised. Nothing I can do makes it maximise so that it can be used. Any advice much apreciated. **One day, I will find a question...

Thanks for that I'm obviously doing something wrong then in that case - least I know now - the majority of my clients are 2k/XP and they aren't showing as DNS entries so I've got it wrong somewhere ! Will go back and attack it until it works. **One day, I will find a question that no one else...

ArcserveIT for windows NT Version 6.61 Build 834SP2A The files being flagged as open are some users files (documents, spreadsheets etc). Even more confusing is that some of them don't exist in the locations specified. It doesn't seem to affect the backup which reports as completed sucessfully...

I am trying to setup a DNS server and despite the best efforts of stuff I've found on the internet not managing to get it to work. I'm wondering if something fundamental such as the fact that I'm trying to use a 2003 server as my DNS server when it's only a member server within an NT domain...

Does anyone know why Arserve thinks that so many files are open when backing up an NT server ? It says it has sucessfully backed up open file xxxx but the files are not open. I suppose I shouldn't mind as long as it's backed it up but would be interested to know why it thinks it's open...

I had to reinstall XP. Since then I've found that there are some files on my external hard disk that I can't access anymore - it says they are not accessable and access is denied. This isn't all files on the disk just some. There are no XP permissions set on the folders. If anyone has any...

Hi there, I've googled this but can't seem to find an answer that works so though I'd ask just in case. I'm trying to install Exchange 2003 on a Windows 2000 server - it's not a DC in the AD structure. It's giving me the error 0xC103798A when it trys to prepare the forest for exchange. I did...

Hi there, the DHCP was supposed to be giving out the DNS information but obviously wasn't (or not very well). I manually entered the DNS settings on the new PC's and they are fine now :-) Thank you **One day, I will find a question that no one else has answered........and will also know the...
