    Dirty rotten lier of a database

    We have a copy of Arcserve 2000 running on a Compaq NT 4 Server set to run a full nightly backup. We did a test restore the other day and found that the directory listing of the tape contents had loads of missing files as if it had missed half the files on backup. Instead of restoring a...

    Customised logon message

    Does anyone know if you can change the text on the logon window? I know you can regedit / use a system policy to add a message screen AFTER pressing ctrl+alt+del to log on. What we would like is the name of our Institute and a message with our help desk number where you type your password and...

    Automating backups

    Have looked at another server with NT4 and SP6a (identical to the afore mentioned server) and the scheduler service is called 'SCHEDULER' under control panels, services whilst on the original server its called 'TASK SCHEDULER'. The 'SCHEDULER' service allows me to assign a account to it, but...

    Automating backups

    Yes, the Scheduler service is set to start automatically and is running, I've tested it by setting it to run 2 minutes from scheduling it and it runs, and terminates, but nothing seems to happen (apart from saying access denied when trying to copy files). Matt ffolliott-Powell...

    Automating backups

    Being an Arts Institute we have fairly large servers running around 320Gigs of data. As DAT backup is obviously too slow and capacity too small, until we get the budget to buy a wacking DLT store we've used a standalone NT server with 4 80GB drives. The idea is to use a simple script fired off...

    Users getting locked out spontaneously

    I agree I can't see the logic in logon scripts effecting this. To answer Rusters queries about account policies, yes they are set to lock out after three incorrect logon attempts. Also passwords are set to expire every 4 weeks. Minimum password length is four characters. Yes I am logging failed...

    Users getting locked out spontaneously

    Hi all, Have a network of 300+ users using a mixture of NT4 Workstation and Mac OS 9 with NT Server 4 (1xPDC, 2xBDC, 1xStand alone). User accounts are set to lock out after 3 failed attempts. Recently the amount of students getting locked out has increased alarmingly. People have reported...

    NT Services for Macintosh

    Hi, Tried this a few days ago, but got no replies.... We are a mixing Mac and PC environment being an Art Institute. I have an NT4 BDC set up with the dreaded Services for Macintosh on a 100mbps network. Eveything runs swimmingly until a mac tries to copy anything fairly weighty from or to the...
