If they are being toombstoned, it means there is an explicit delete command being executed. I don't know how - but there has to be a way of creating debugging logs for NTFRS?

There is no native MSI - you can see this by extracting the EXE. It has an update.exe - that is all. You can make your own MSI - I can't think of any reason why it won't work with IE7. The IEAK is the supported method of deploying IE - always has been.

On the client... ipconfig /flushcache On the DNS Server Delete the A record for the server (in dnsmgmt.msc) net stop dnscache /y net start dnscache net stop dns /y net start dns net start netlogon This removes all cached entries from client and the server, and should remedy and DNS server...

How did you go with this? I have been looking for some time at this - using the RIS TFTP server for the PXE clients to boot off... But I never quite get the time. BartePE used to be able to be run through PXE - although I believe this has been removed now. VMWare aparrently have some XP...

If sysvol is not on c - you need to make it on c:. Sysvol is not a standard share. Apart from being important, it has symbolic links attached to it. Once the sysvol is on c: - you can expand the partition using partition magic etc. There are many things you can delete from the c:\ before...

Have the physical printers changed (to a host-based driver). Do these printers exist on the client machine, or on a server at the client machine's site? (i.e. local printer, local port printer, IP printer, network printer)?

The only REAL technical reason to have multiple domains is security policies that are domain-wide (secure passwords etc). The only real reason to consolodate existing domains today is to save money (reduced server costs (as in example of multiple exchange servers), and reduced administration...

How many PCs are you trying to RIS at the same time?

Are you running ISA on that server (SBS)? If so, the proxy settings will be different - try without proxy (ISA by default handles transparent proxy)

Is sounds like the DHCP setting for DNS given to the dialup client is incorrect. Try NSLOOKUP from the laptop to the DNS server given through DHCP, and I bet there is no response. Users are dumb - doesn't mean we need to match them.

No - I have always done it in the oposing direction - reassign network drives to different letters. I don't know Novell - is this possible?

There is no way to avoid this. When the user logs on using kerberos (NTLM hs similar features), the group membership SIDs are stored in the optional component of the kerberos authentication packet. The expiration for this data is not instant (going completely from memory, it has 7 days...

I was planning on using the IEAK - that way it can be pushed to terminal servers nicely also.

NFI! Are the accounts just gone - or are they toombstoned? I think with some research, you can see the toombstoned accounts with ADSIEdit

Are you talking about combining 2 nics - just to increase bandwidth, or actual NLB? If you want to combine NICs, Windows 2003 comes with the Intel ProSet, which from memory allows this to occur with the right Intel NICs.
