First, you need to check whether the InterOP routing group connector (RGC) has been created automatically. Sometimes, when the installation is cancelled and restarted (especially, when you choose to use your previous answers) the RGC is not created, and you need to create it manually. Do you...

I'd love to see Exchange 2013 SP1, but so far we have CU2 (Cumulative Update 2). I hear that CU3 will be delayed, which means that it's too early for a Service Pack 1. Cumulative Updates should be released quarterly, but the last one (CU2) has been a withdrawn and re-released (version 2) due to...

Hi, It seems that you've been running these 2003 DC for quite a while. IMHO, the plans suggested above are fine, but I wouldn't add in advance the DNS role to the new 2012 DC. This is done automatically during the second phase - Domain Controller configuration/promotion. Actually, it is...

Hi, This problem has been fixed in Vista SP1 and later. The subject Common Name (CN) of your certificate - "klabin.com" does not match the name OA clients are connecting to (even though the name is listed in the SAN). Instead of patching the issue, I would prefer to re-key the certificate...

Here is a trick which helps me when repliating public folders - waiting for the last folder(s) can be frustrating. Create a dummy public folder with a dummy message on Exchange 2010. Usually, I do this in Outlook on a client, whose mailbox is on the E-10 server. Then create a replica on the...

Hi EssoOil, The short answer to your question is yes, you can do this. When you run the SetUp Internet Address wizard and choose your domain name ("xyz-company.com" in your case - you are using the default prefix "remote") it does a lot of work in the background. One of the silently performed...

D you mean that you have a vanilla installation of Windows Server 2008 and you are experiencing problems? Dean http://www.netometer.com Online Screencasts and Video-Tutorials

Hi, 1. When you run DCPROMO on the Windows Server 2008 there is a log file – DCPromoUI.log, created under %systemroot%\debug\ Could you take a look at this file and post errors entries here? What about errors in the event logs? 2. What result do you get from the command “NETDOM QUERY FSMO”...

Hi, If you are using IDE disks for the NT 4.0 server, there is a good chance that you can boot the server using VMWare (I think it uses a legacy chipset for the virtual machines). To save time, attach the NT4.0 drives to a machine and create new Virtual machine using existing hard drives. Of...

Hi, I have done a similar migartion and here is a plan that I would suggest: 1. Evaluate the current situation – check Active Directory health with DCDIAG, NETDIAG in verbose mode, SYSVOL status, Examine the event logs, check DNS zone (do you have the correct name servers, forwardes – if you...

I would say it's a group membership/permissions issue. How many DC do you have and how is the repication between them? I can take a look if you want. Dean http://www.netometer.com Online Screencasts and Video-Tutorials

Hi, I suppose that you have Active Directory in place and the NT 4.0 servers are member servers (not domain controllers). Secons, I guess that when you login as Domain Admin to the client's computers you can access the shares on the NT 4.0 server with the expense reports. If you login as a...

Hi, I would suggest a different approach. Stop for a couple of minutes the new DHCP server. Run the following at a DHCP client Command prompt: ipconfig /release ipconfig /renew ipconfig /all Normally running the commands should tale less than a minute. Examine the output of "ipconfig /all"...
