I'd imagine the original install location has to exist (and be on the network for a client/server type of setup) in order to uninstall. You may need to put the old server back on the network just long enough to uninstall the office suite.

I have two domain controllers in my windows 2000 Active Directory domain which was set up before I started working for my current employer. I'm retiring one of them. I was previously told it is the "main" domain controller? What does that mean? Is there a "primary domain controller" in...

Thanks Dollar. We don't want to do the "auto-logoff after a certain amount of time" because we didn't want users who legitimately have left the station for a few minutes to lose their work. But the link you provided allows for not logging off users who have unsaved work open. I suppose users...

I don't think we want our users calling us to do a remote shutdown every time someone leaves a workstation locked... that could turn into a real resource-sucker. And as far as logging off the user at the logon screen, see my response to linney just above this one. Thanks again for your...

Thanks Linney. Actually, we have the "allow shutdown at log on" enabled on all our workstations. It doesn't solve our issues because our users log into a Win2K domain. Fast User Switching is not possible in that environment, according to microsoft. So users who attempt to unlock a computer...

I don't think that's going to work either, because we also don't want our users to be able to access eachother's accounts. If they can all unlock eachother's computers, then they can all get into eachother's accounts. We just want to give them the right to shut down the computer, not to...

Thanks for responding. What do you mean by "use a screensaver"? I don't think Domain authentication works because the whole problem is that our users aren't administrators, so when they attempt to authenticate they are authenticated as standard users who don't have rights to log others off...

In my workplace we just recently stripped all our users of administrative rights. Of course we get the usual complaints of "I can't install my [insert ad-ware bundle programs] anymore". But we also have gotten some legitimate complaints as well. One complaint is that some users leave their...

Thanks Brain, I stripped down "fileB" to 50 rows and ran the macro. As usual, excel said "stopped responding" in the task manager, but I let her run anyway. About 50 seconds later after switching between running and not responding about 7 times, wallah, the macro finished and worked as it...

Hello, I've written a macro that compares two excel files (fileA and fileB) row by row to look for rows that are duplicates (that are in both file). Each row in each file has a patient ID (ie. A4522335) and a visit number (ie. 3). If two rows in both files have the same patient ID and visit...

Just a follow up, I finally got my printers working. My printer manufacturer (xerox, printer is a phaser 850) had drivers available on the website. I ran their "ppd installer" (which placed the correct ppd files in the system->extensions->PrinterDescriptions folder) and all seems to be working...

Here's a few links I found by searching this forum (something you should always do before posting, btw): http://www.tek-tips.com/viewthread.cfm?SQID=811381&SPID=604&newpid=604&page=1 http://www.tek-tips.com/viewthread.cfm?SQID=702675&SPID=604&newpid=604&page=1...

Generally, Macs don't require IP addresses to print to a networked printer... at least you don't have to enter it in by hand. I believe you're printer needs to be able to use the "AppleTalk" protocol that MacOS 8 uses for printing on the network. Look at your printers usermanual/CD-ROM to see...

First of all, what does the report say? Does it give any error codes... paste the whole thing here if you can.
