Hello, I had to move all of my user's personal folders from one drive on my file server to another drive on the same server because of space. Shares and NTFS permissions are the same (I used a product called Secure Copy). However, I now have duplicate shares on the same server and need to...

Is it possible to run Exchange 5.5 in a Windows 2003 AD environment? We eventually plan to migrate to Exchange 2003 but want to migrate our domain first. Thanks for any help.

Is it possible to map drive or browse UNC paths without a WINS server? Thank you in advance.

Can SMS 2.0 (SP 5) be installed on a W2K member server in a NT 4.0 domain? If so, do I lose any functionality by doing this? I do not want to install on one of my NT DC's because at some point I will be physically replacing these machines with W2K AD servers. Thank you in advance for any help.

We currently have two NT 4.0 servers (PC-class machines)that run DNS/DHCP/WINS. We are in the process of our W2K migration and want to replace these machines with brand new servers running W2K DNS/DHCP/WINS (we will still need a WINS server on our network). What I would like to do is build the...

I need help on how I can allow non-administratve Domain Users the right to install Windows Updates. As it is now, when these users go to Windows Update and attempt to scan for updates they get the "Administrators Only" page that states that they need to part of the Administrator group...

I am looking for a tool that can report the NTFS permissions on our file server based on group membership. My problem is that I have a few hundred global groups and need to know which groups are outdated and do not have permissions on the file server. If a group doesn't have any permissions...

Is there a way to prevent users from modifying the desktop preferences (screensavers, fonts, display settings)? Thanks in advance for any help.

Hey Butchrecon, Thanks for the response...I am a little confused by your suggestion. Are you saying that I should log on locally to the PC as the Administrator and then try to install the network printer? If so, how will this work since I will not be able to see any of the print servers as I...

How can I make a network printer available to all users? Currently, we either add the printer(s) to our install profile and copy this to the Default User before deploying the machine OR we add the printer using the network user's account after it has been deployed. Neither of these options is...

Is it possible to run MSE 5.5 on a W2K server? Thanks in advance for the reply.

Within W2K you can change a local Administrative password on a member server if you are a member of a global group that is added to the local Administrators group (i.e. Domain Admins)by using Computer Management. I was wondering if the same functionality exisits within NT 4.0 in an environment...

What is the difference between All Users vs. Default Users. I understand that the Default Users is a template whereas All Users is a profile that could be used to override existing profiles. Currently, we are using ghosting software to configure our all of our workstations with a basic...
