Is it possible to have both Windows 2000 and Windows 2003 domain controllers co-exist on the same domain? I googled it and it tells me that you need to run ADPrep before it will work. Do I need to do anything with Exchange? We only have one forst, one domain, so it's a fairly straight forward...

I need to setup multiple FTP sites behind ISA. Basically it would be for external customers. Both would be the same public IP address, but different ports. The one that is working is 21, but I setup another one on 2121. Each one is pointing to another machine (MACHINE1, Port 21, MACHINE2...

I am curious as to what is the maximum amount of RAM that Exchange 2000 Enterprise can support. We are running Windows 2000 Server with 2GB of RAM in it. Is it fully optimizing this? I've heard that if you have Advanced Server you can use the /3GB switch to increase the amount of RAM exchange...

So I would have to have no domain password policy for the local password policy in the OU to work? Is that correct? The reason why we need two password policies is that users have a local account that they log onto to run this software. The people who programmed that software don't know what...

I understand that if you put a password policy on an OU, it gets overwritten by the domain default policy. I read that although it gets overwritten when you log onto the domain, the OU password policy takes affect on local accounts when you log in as a local user. Is this true? I've tried...

We have a domain password policy that requires users to change their password every so often, have minimum length, etc.. Some of the users have special laptops, and they log in locally to perform their tasks, not the domain. The local account is similar on all these computers, but the password...

I need to setup two ftp sites behind our firewall for two different purposes. The first one is working fine, on SERVER1 Port 21. The second one will be SERVER2 Port 31. I can log into the second server okay, but when it gives me an error soon after: "An error occurred opening that folder on...

We were looking at rebuilding one of our Dell PowerEdge 2600 servers. At the same time, we want to increase the storage on it. Does anybody know what the maxium hard drive size that it can take? We'd like to go with 300GB drives if at all possible. Thanks.

We are trying to upgrade the RAM on our SQL server, but unfortunately it only supports 2 GB, which is what we have already. But that 2 GB is split between 2 X 512 and 4 X 256 for 6 pieces. Would it make a big difference changed that and installed 1x2GB stick or 2x1GB sticks? The speed is...

yes, I did all of that. This is the exact error: E4101 Unable to login to database engine (DATABASE = ARCSERVE, EC=5) The SQL server is on a remote machine, and I am using the sa account credentials

Thanks, that somewhat worked. Now when I try to back anything up, it keeps telling me "Unable to log into database engine

Is there a way to change the Arcserve Database type? I want to change it from their own format to SQL server, but I'm afraid the only option is to uninstall and reinstall the stupid program (which is the worst thing I've ever seen) Thanks.

I'm about to setup 13 domain controllers at remote sites. Most of the sites will have just a handful of users, while at most three will have probably about 20. We are just going with one domain, one forest, having it nice and simple. We will be setting the DC's in their own sites, and they...

Is there a way to send an email within PowerPoint using VBA? I am creating a powerpoint quiz, and everything works good. I want it to be able to email how many answers the person got right to my email account. Is this possible or am I wasting my time? Thanks in advance.

We need to run an offline defrag of our Exchange server. It has gotten to it's limit, causing the store to dismount a few times. I've done online defrags, but we need to do an offline one to get rid of all the empty blocks and reduce the database size. I know how to run the utility, having to...
