DO any of the reskit tools work on 64 bit servers? MS says they are not "supported" which means they may or may not work. I just installed new 2003 R2 X64 servers and need to move files from the old nt server to a new 2003 server and keep the shares and acl's. robocopy apparently does this well...

Here's the way I just did it. Had some learning curve along the way, but following this guide and using UPromote to decomision the old NT Domain COntrollers, everything worked out good. I followed the suggestion and built a simple ide pc for an interim server that would boot NT and upgrade to...

Perfect solution. All I had to do was swap the TAG value of the 2 adapters and when NT booted I had my new drive. Thanks. Never stay up on the barren heights of cleverness, but come down into the green valleys of silliness. Ludwig Wittgenstein

I have an NT 40 server that I really need to add some disk space to. It currently has a DAC960 RAID controller with RAID 5 disks configured as the C: drive and E: drive. and a CD as drive D: I added an external SCSI drive to an Adaptec 2940 controller and when NT boots, it labels the new drive...

When I receive forwarded messages, sometimes the message content appears in the body of the email and sometimes the forwarded message appears as a .msg attachment. Why? Sometimes these messages are interesting or amusing and I want to forward them to somebody else, but I hate contributing to...

I run Trend OfficeScan all the time, updated daily and complete weekly scan. Nothing found. Also scanned with ad-aware and spybot. I recently had to install a groupwise client for a brief time and it seems to have messed with Outlook. After deleting crapwise I reinstalled Outlook and initialized...

When I click on an email link in Internet Explorer instead of an Outlook new message form opening, about 20 blank IE pages open. I am running Win2K with all updates applied and Outlook 2002. Outlook is the default mail application in IE. Never stay up on the barren heights of cleverness, but...

OOPS! Having a post Katrina brain cramp here. Part of the problem is that the 3rd hard drive is of course Disk 2 in Windows disk manager and has been assigned drive letters G: and H: for the 2 partitions on it. So that is why I cann't assign drive letters to the other 7 appearances. Not a...

I have attached a 3rd hdd to a WinXP PC that has 2 IDE drives. The 3rd drive is a Seagate ST336607LW SCSI drive attached to an Adaptec 29160 controller. Lun support is turned off on the controller. In Windows disk management, the drive appears 7 times. Properties show it as 7 different LUN's...

Is there anyway to get a Windows98 PC to logon to an NT domain over a subnet? In this post Katrina world, I suddenly have people working at different locations: all of the NT servers are at the 10.x.1.x site, but I have several operations people in a trailer with Win 98 PC's at a 10.x.2.x site...

Well, I'm going to have to withdraw this question and take my stupid lumps. I went to boot from an NTFS boot floppy to see if that would help and found a RAID config floppy in the drive. Someone around here has a sick sense of humor, that floppy wasn't there when I shut the system down because I...

Good thought, but swapping out the keyboard does not help. Never stay up on the barren heights of cleverness, but come down into the green valleys of silliness. Ludwig Wittgenstein

My PE 2300 has a boot disk on a separate SCSI controller and has 5 disks on the PERC II controller. It had been booting to Win NT Server OK but now it boots into the RAID configuration utility. The POST looks normal, no errors, the boot disk is found as Disk 0, the RAID Bios finds 1 logical...

Just saw my first tablet PC, an Averatec C3500. User says it was working fine yesterday, but now it starts up with the TIP screen and seems to hang. There is no log on screen, no start button, just a screen keyboard. Cntl-Alt_delete brings up nothing. Tapping the screen does nothing. Averatec...

Found sort of an answer on my own from XWALL (I use XWALL spam filter). Firewalls with an SMTP Proxy frequently do not handle ESMTP commands like BDAT properly. Sometimes they corrupt the size parameter following the BDAT command making subsequent data appear garbled and incorrect. XWALL...
