Hello I am creating my own app to allow our web users to change their passwords. These people are "outsiders" to our domain and have no access to the R5 NAB. Please don't suggest that I upgrade, it isn't my decision to make and there are valid reasons why it isn't possible to do at this time...

It doesn't matter what you are running on the server. For NT4 server, your optimal page file size is the amount of memory plus 11, expressed in MB. So in your case it should be 1035. You should see this in the recommended field in the Virtual Memory settings. If you stray from this number in...

This is an environmental issue. Windows 2000 sets the date variable automatically, but NT does not. All you are doing with the echo command is telling the command processor to print that variable. When the variable is not set, there is nothing to print. What you should try in NT is the date...

Try compacting your Lotus Workspace.

Check out Scheduled Tasks in Control Panel. You can use it to schedule bat and exe files to run at system startup or on a regular schedule. You can also specify which user account each file will run under.

The Ethernet Controller is your network card. It may be onboard ( built into the motherboard ) or it may be a separate card installed into one of the PCI slots. Try uninstalling it from device manager and then reboot the system. Windows should find it on boot up and reinstall the proper...

These are great ideas and excellent tools. However, for the sake of having other options, there is a way to do it from User Manager if you have a Win2K Pro host or Server in the domain. When logged in as an administrator you can use the Computer Management tool to export the user list to a TXT...

OOPS. I forgot which forum I was looking at. On an NT4 box, Scheduled Tasks appears under My Computer when you open Windows Explorer.

The AT command can be confusing for inexperienced uses. A tool which is easier to use is the GUI based Scheduled Tasks utility that comes with newer versions of IE. On a Win2K machine you will find it in Control Panel. It will allow you to schedule just about anything on a daily, weekly or...

Keeping in mind what justyn said, also look for permanent drive mappings. These can lock you out pretty quickly after a password change.

There is a command line utility called "Shutdown.exe" that can be used for shutting down or restarting your local machine or remote machines. I think you will find it in the resource kit. I know it wasn't native on my Win2K machines and can't remember where I got it for my NT...

Are you running Trend Micro Office Scan on that server? Try disabling it. If things get better, then uninstall and reinstall it. Also, check out their website for FAQs on this topic.

I suspect you have not configured something properly on the router. Contact a techie at your ISP and ask them how it needs to be configured.

With the Win2K server plugged into the linksys, your workstations should find it. The next time they try to get a lease renewed or a new lease, they will try the linksys first and not get a response. After a bit, they will then broadcast a request on the network and your Win2K server will...
