I can't remember if this changed with 2003, but with 2000 you can only have one DHCP server per subnet (Active Directory). MikeL

Bad idea setting up a new DHCP server without bringing over your current configuration and database. The new DHCP will try to handout IP addresses that workstations already have. It's not pretty. It's not hard to move the configuration from one server to another. I've done it several time...

Why would you not want to disable an ex-employee's account? At least rename their account and change the password. Mike

When you say all "clients" were part of the old domain, did that include your member servers? If so you have a SID (Security ID) problem. The SIDs for your groups/users on the "old" domain are different from the SIDs on your "new" domain. Rights are based on the SID for the Group/User (not...

Try http://<your server>/exchange. This is generally the default URL for OWA. MikeL

Do you have a Primary and Secondary DNS server? It sounds like you are trying to add the records to your Secondary, which you can't do. MikeL

Goto the Properties of Network Neighborhood, then goto the Adapters, click the Update button. MikeL

We use Outlook 2003 with our Exchange 5.5 servers. If you are talking about Cached Mode, it works fine with Exchange 5.5. There are a couple of very important patches you need on your servers if you use OL 2003. http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;834466&Product=ech...

Here's what I see for your MX records. fanncon.com MX preference = 0, mail exchanger = fannxfile.fanncon.com fanncon.com MX preference = 10, mail exchanger = 24.119.181.114 fanncon.com internet address = 64.202.167.192 I think you need a host record for fannxfile.fanncon.com. MikeL

Windows 2000 cannot be a PDC or BDC for a NT 4.x Domain. Whoever told you that is wrong. I suggest setting up another NT 4.x server and make it a BDC. Once that is done promote the new server to be the PDC. Rebuild the "old" PDC (now a BDC). If you like, you can promote the “old” rebuilt...

It doesn't sound like a cluster issue, it's your reverse lookup (lack of). Why do you think a reverse lookup is a security hole? If you give me your domain name, I can easily find the public IP address of your email server. If you give me your public IP address why are your afraid of me...

You can give other users the right to use Terminal Server in Admin Mode, they don't have to be Administrators. Go into the "Terminal Services Configuration" MMC. Right mouse click on RDP-TCP and choose Properties. Click on the Permissions Tab. Add whoever you want and give them User Access...

Why don't you have that user Terminal Server to this server, to check the backups? Set it up in Admin Mode, and configure it so that the user can Terminal Server in. MikeL

Generally Citrix and satellite connections don't mix. I haven't heard of many who have made it work. Check out this document from Citrix, it might help. http://knowledgebase.citrix.com/kb/entry!default.jspa?categoryID=118&entryID=2131&fromSearchPage=true MikeL

How many servers/workstations? Shavilk has a free version of their HFNetChk, that can be used with 10 clients? I think their software is the best, and it really doesn't cost that much. We have it running on 250+ servers. http://www.shavlik.com MikeL
