- Yes the ip is on the same subnet as the internal system - In my RRAS configuration I did put our DC as the DNS server - What exactly is not supported with multihomed DC? I do have a 'bdc' server running. Could this be a cause to our problems? - Yes we use windows' "create a connection" VPN...

Well, when I directly query my remote server that I use on my PPP connection it correctly resolves my local domain to it's DC (we use 'private' domain (.local) at the office). But it doesn't resolve it when I don't specify my DNS server (it uses my ethernet adaptor's settings). We use 'private'...

I configured our W2K DC as a RRAS server. I also let gre and pptp through our Cisco ASA 5505(static route to the server and access group on outside_in). RRAS uses static IP address pool. NetBEUi is allowed in the RRAS configuration for the entire network. When I access our RRAS server remotely...

Thanks Brandon, I was able pinpoint it to the Dell's 3-rd party (Wave Systems Corp.) fingerprint reading software that came preinstalled on these Latitude 530s. I shut it's services down and got my DFS access back. Thanks Oleg

Hi there, I have a Domain Controller with DFS running MS Server 2000 SP4. Users Cannot Rename a File or a Folder on a DFS Share but they can Delete it . It applies only to the Domain Users group. Domain Admin can rename and delete on a DFS share. All Domain Users have "Full Control" on the Share...

I'm not sure what happened - but I think that wcburton is right. I did the same - I created a brand new policy defining a different number in the lockout policy (10 attemtps - which is OK by me) and it started working. It still says N/A in the gpresult - USER SETTINGS-Applied Group Policy...

Here you go. Thanks a lot. COMPUTER SETTINGS ------------------ CN=DPR-83,CN=Computers,DC=north1,DC=local Last time Group Policy was applied: 12/10/2007 at 12:48:28 PM Group Policy was applied from: 2xeons.north1.local Group Policy slow link threshold: 500 kbps...

Hmm. In the header it says that GP was applied from our DC this morning, but in the Applied Group Policy Objects it says N/A.

Hi there, We're are on W2K Domain. Users (W2K and WXP copmuters) keep locking out after entering wrong password 3 times even though Domain's Account Lockout policy is not defined. Any suggestions? Thank you, Oleg

That's not exactly what I was asking. I actually was planning to map users' drives to a DFS root not to a link. But thanks anyway.

I'm creating a DFS root with the same rootname as the share it's based on. So when users map a drive letter to that DFS root do their systems pick the DFS or the Share for the mapping source? Thank you

I've read somewhere on ms technet that in domain-based (W2K) DFS the sharename in the UNC path \\server\share must be the same as DFS root name in \\domainame\rootname. We have a folder-share on our W2K DC that our Accounting app. uses. I'd like to create a DFS root on this folder and I want to...

CORRECTION. user did NOT close her laptop - she just left it on as it was for the night.

Hi there, Strangest thing happened with one of the user's Outlook. She sends an email to a group of 43 people including herself (with 4MB pdf attachment). Then she leaves the office in ~10 minutes, closes her laptop lid (it goes to the StandBy mode). Next morning she comes back and finds her...

Hi there, From what I understand NTFS's maximum path length is 256 characters. Does this include file name or not? And conversely, the file name limit of 256 characters - does it include directory path? Seems like it does. I created a long path on our network (~245 charactes). Then I created...
