I like to use "LDP" Try this link and see if it works for your needs as well :) http://www.computerperformance.co.uk/w2k3/utilities/ldp.htm The Geek Dont be afraid to share what you know. There are no losers in our arena, only self rightous monkeys atop their own tree.

Could be many things :) DNS sometimes is the culprit too. Look at your DNS are the servers listed properly with correct IP's in both forward and reverse zones? The Geek Dont be afraid to share what you know. There are no losers in our arena, only self rightous monkeys atop their own tree.

do me a favor and make a new domain local security group. call it "testlocal". wait 15 minutes then under the security tab on a folder on ALL 3 server try and type "tes" then click check name and tell me the results (does it show you the group or not). Again do it on all 3 servers The Geek...

Before we look elsewhere you do just have one domain controller yes? The Geek Dont be afraid to share what you know. There are no losers in our arena, only self rightous monkeys atop their own tree.

Sorry yes, place the local group. Globals are for account placement (user a, user b etc...), locals are for resource assignment(folder a, folder b, printers etc...). Can you provide the setup of your servers? Example: Server 1 is MS Server 2003 Domain Controller with AD running in Native or...

Just the basics :) - Ensure he isnt a member of another GPO with that old script. - Ensure his account isn't pointing to some script - Ensure he isn't logged in somewhere else. ALl I can think of. The Geek Dont be afraid to share what you know. There are no losers in our arena, only...

Billy, I am assuming you have 2 OU's named (if not do this :) ) - GlobalGroups - LocalGroups and within GlobalGroups you have a security group (not distro) named Blotter_GR (G=global R=Read) and likewise in LocalGroups you have Blotter_LR security group (not distro) and that you have placed...

At the very least, at folder creation or file creations allow the name to be created instead of "New Folder" or "New Text Document" sheesh. But this is ok, it is no wonder many migrate to *nix or Apple for file servers seeing how absurd MS is along this line. Now I have to create a ton of extra...

In order to create folders and files and "rename them" a user must have the "delete" permission. Is there a way however to allow this without being able to delete said folder or files? I know I could break down folders into further groups but I really do not want to do this as its a huge...

IF you are running windows 2003 yes. Use the Windows Server 2003 Active Directory Domain Rename Tool. The Geek Dont be afraid to share what you know. There are no losers in our arena, only self rightous monkeys atop their own tree.

Do you want the exchange account to have the POP reply address? Or the other way around? The Geek Dont be afraid to share what you know. There are no losers in our arena, only self rightous monkeys atop their own tree.

How about checking "automatic name checking" and "suggest names while typing To: CC: BCC:" in the advanced email options settings? Then you have to make sure you have chosen "show the folder as an email addres book" in your contact folder settings. This will then allow you to type just a few...

Best bet is to create the rules you want (tempplate of sorts) then after you have it refined export the rules (will be "somename.rwz") and send to all users and then in a very simple message have them simply open outlook, choose tools-rules-import :) The Geek Dont be afraid to share what...

Copy this: 1. text 2. text 3. text 4. text 5. text 6. text Paste into a SAP application (can be any app other than excel) Again though it will paste but it will cut off what the visable window cannot see. So you have application X open and you see 4 rows. To the right is a scroll bar in which...
