When I run Chkdsk on the primary HDD on our Windows Server 2003-based Terminal Server. I am getting an error message at the end of the checking process saying 'Second NTFS boot sector unwriteable'. The computer then goes on to boot successfully and runs with no apparent issues. Anyone know what...

As I put in My PS, this is not a viable solution in this case. Ian W

Hi everyone, hope you can help with an e-mail problem that may be security related. We have a client that want's us to handle information enquiries on their behalf. The idea is that any mails sent to info@theirdomain are picked up and handled by us. Our client also wants any responses we send...

Hi everyone We have an unusual problem on our Windows 2000 Small Business Server. When we right-click a folder and select Properties, the 'Security' tab has disappeared on every folder on the server. I'm guessing a Registry entry must have gone missing or been corrupted. Anyone any idea what...

We were recently contacted by a new client that had suffered from the hardware failure of the c:\ drive in their Windows 2000 Small Business Server. Thankfully all their data was on a separate hard disk (including their Exchange 2000 server databases). Unfortunately the client had no backups...

Thanks for the advice concerning the 'spare box' method. I think I'm doing something wrong here though. Loaded just the Win2k server element from our SBS-2000 disk1 and cancelled SBS setup before it started. Then ran DCPROMO (I assume this is how you meant me to join the box to the domain) and...

We currently run SBS 2000 on a fairly low-spec server computer and are intending to replace the server computer with a much more powerful machine, using entirely different hardware but still using SBS 2000. What we are unsure of is the best way to migrate all our user accounts from one...
