I'm about to introduce OWA onto my Exchange 2000 server, but I only want a small group of people to be able to use it as I'm worried about the streaming file (priv.stm) growing to an unmanageable size. Does anyone know if it's possible to grant or restrict access to OWA in this way ?

We have around 120GB worth of documents and spreadsheets on one of our corporate file servers, though I suspect that around a third of these files are wasting space as they've never been opened by any member of staff for years. What I need is to be able to proof this so I can archive off all...

I just ran out of disk space on the C drive of the server that houses our BAckup Exec software. While looking to clear some space I noticed that there was 1.8Gb worth of files in the c:\ProgramFiles\Veritas\BackupExec\NT\Data directory, most of which were HTML and XML files beginning BEX0... Are...

No, she isn't using any other connections.

We have about 40 people using VPN software to access our network through our Cisco Pix 515 firewall, but just one person cannot get their connection to work. The person in question has quite a unique setup at home, in that she has several computers all linked up to the Internet at once, I think...

Don't think I've run the /regserver command before. Any advice would be very well received. Thanks very much.

I appreciate your point, but what I'm hoping to achieve is specifically for these two PC's to automatically refresh when new mail arrives, without the need for manual intervention. All the other 180 PC's in the office manage to do it so I'm stumped as to why these don't.

Could you please explain what's meant by running detect and repair ? I'm not familiar with how to do this. We have tried re-installing Office but it made no difference and the problem still occurred. Thanks

Correct me if I'm wrong, but if they have to double-click on the Inbox then surely it's the same as clicking on a different folder, in that it's forcing the screen to refresh but not actually solving the problem of why it's not refreshing automatically ?

We have something odd happening with a couple of Outlook 97 users. Each have their inbox open but don't receive new mail until they change to a different folder. For example, one of them hadn't received mail for an hour, but as soon as they moved from their Inbox to their Deleted Items folder...

We have a PC in the office that is behaving strnagely in that it has developed a habit of changing the pound sign into a J, the The Euro symbol into a question mark and substituting various Greek or Russian characters for normal Greko-Roman letters. The normal alt key symbol insertions don't...

I'm having a bizarre problem with one of my remote users. She's using MUVPN6.1.1 client on an XP PC in conjunction with a BT broadband line, and sometimes when she's in the process of copying across files from our company network the PC for some reason shuts down and reboots itself. This...

Without physically looking at the server or re-booting it, how can I tell from within W2K server what combination of disks a server has ? I know it has mirrored drives giving me 72GB of available space, but I want to know if there are 4 x 36GB drives or 2 x 72GB. I thought there might be some...

My boss at work has found that sometimes when he sends an external email and types his name at the bottom of the message, by the time it arrives at it's destination his name has been cut off it. He's using Outlook 97 and our mail goes through Exchange 2000, then Mailsweeper 4.3. Could any of...

We already backup SQL databases on four servers and I'm trying to add server to the list that also has SQL databases to be backed up. The previous ones were set up by someone else so I'm not sure how to do it. I'm adding the new server to the existing job, ticking the SQL server box but when I...
