Hi there, I really hope you guys can help me. I have been looking at the Symantec forums all day trying to see if they can help. I have a full backup of my server and due to the fact that I am running out of room on my c:\ partition I want to restore the data to new disks (RAID) and increase...

OK, it is my stupid fault. When the posts say (Log on to the server as the account you are trying to use to configure the agent), I didnt realise that you actually had to log on to the MACHINE as that user rather than the network as that user. I have now configured the agent and I move onto...

I am having the same problem. I am trying to do a brick level restore to an Exchange server. My server crashed and I had to rebuild the server from scratch. I have re-created a mailboxes for the users and initiated them by sending an Email to them. WHen I go to restore and select the mailbox...

My Exchange 2000 server crashed the other day. I had to format the hard disks and rebuild the server. I take a brick level backup every night and this is what I want to restore. When I go to load the Exchange 2000 Agent I go to log onto the mailbox I get the error: "Failed to get the...

OK, have had another look!! Regarding changing the DNS IP address to 127.0.0.1 on my server. I have tried to remove the Microsoft Loopback adapter, but it is not there! I selected the option to view hidden objects in the device manager and the list below shows what was present under the...

Hi, I am using MS Exchange 2000 and the OWA option is being used. Most of the time this works very well. However, we do have a problem and wondered if any of you experts can help. Some users experience log in issues when they are outside the company. They type in their username, password and...

OK will have a look. I assume from your last comment that it is not a good idea having the adapter left in there on a Domain Controller. The guy that installed all this has left now, so I have been dumped in the deep end. WHy is this not a good idea? SOrry to be so thick!

Sorry it has taken me a little while to reply. I have not been on site to try these solutions. I tried to make the necessary changes on the DNS server. At the moment the DNS server points to it's own IP address. Although this produces errors in the log, the DNS server seems to work OK. I tried...

OK thanks for those, will have a look and post back

No, am using TCP/IP only and the DNS server is a local Domain Controller which has got the root.hint files installed so clients can access the internet.

yea, this has no effect on it either. It has really confused me!!!

Every now and then some machines on my network lose the list of machines under the Domain in windows Explorer and My Network Places. If I type \\machine name in the address bar, the machine then appears under the Domain name and I can connect to it. This happens at random times on random...

That is exactly the problem, the worst bit is DELL custom built it like that!!!!!!!

I have found the problem, my DELL has no external SCSI controller, it is all delt with on the mother board. If this is the setup, the Array controller 'shares' the SCSI port on the mother board. Arcserve therefore thinks it does not have full control over the tape drive even though you run the...

yea tried that many times!!! still no joy
