    How to Demote a BDC to a Member Server ?

    just curious, but can't you have BDC's if you running in mixed mode? never tried it. they may all be DC's, but nobody told the fismo roles :)

    SUS Question

    Really sounds like a rights issue. Of course, first check your browser. Might want to go ahead and set up a policy for IE to add the SUS site as a trusted zone domain wide, well minus servers. Might want to check the execute permissions under the home directory tab for the virtual directory...

    DNS Fails to certain sites

    Win2k enviroment, same PIX. Bounced the PIX 4 days ago, prob resurfaced the next day. Reloaded the PIX. Got someone who knows a lot more than me checking the logs. Let you know if we find anything.

    Can't connect to DHCP - tried everything

    Does a reinstall rebuild the TCP/IP stack? or have you tried that? Gateway set to your router? Clear the arp cache? No host file entires to 127.0.0.1?

    Lock down school network

    Been a while since I played with ISA. Can hopefully give you some ideas. Found a good article that bears reading http://www.isaserver.org/tutorials/The_Mystery_of_the_HTTP_Redirector_and_SiteContent_Rules.html Your ISA active directory integrated? So, with that in mind. Set requests from...

    DHCP scope scavenging

    Having the same problem. Is it just me, or do the settings for DNS in the DHCP scope properties seem to conflict? It's set to discard the host and pntr record when the lease expires, but the other setting is to only update when requested by the client. Whatcha bet the cached addresses in DNS...

    Hardware firewall Recommedations

    Agree. Last PEN test by a very reputable security firm on our PIX made us look like a black hole on the net. It's all about the config though. Very worth the money to pay someone who knows what they are doing to set it up.

    Lock down school network

    Cisco's switch IOS can be set to only allow connections from certain MACs. You really don't want these machines even on your network right? Admin headache though. Probably being obvious, but make sure that your authentication method is at least partially based on workstation accounts. User...

    Recommended temperature for athlon XP cpu's?

    Almost all motherboards are shipping with some sort of theraml protection in the bios. Just have to find it..depends on who makes your bios. Phoenix and the newer AMI bios's settings are pretty close. I must own a freak of nature..AMD XP1700 clocked up as recognized XP2000 bumps 35C after I've...

    PC 266 or PC133 faster?

    I agree. What a waste to chug your machine with PC133. You will see a difference if you load multiple image editors at once, between DDR and PC133 (assuming same quantity of ram). Good luck building your machine.

    computer powers up by itself

    Nowadays, wake-on-lan isn't the only Bios configurable wakeup. Some motherboards check particular IRQ's. Any activity on that IRQ will wake up your comp. If this is a corporate enviroment, you may want to check with your IT/IS guys. They may have it set to wake up for updates or software...

    CMOS Settings change without reason

    Don't forget to check for a new Bios flash. I've never owned an ECS, but my friends that do say don't buy the board unless atleast the 2nd rev of the Bios is out. Could be a flaky flash from the manufacture. Be cool in school when you're flashing the bios, or you will be hunting the nearest...

    Choosing a motherboard

    I'm using a Soyo motherboard and have had a great experience. The bios requires a working knowledge of chipset settings, and is not for the timid. But, I've overclocked my memory, proc, and video, and once final tweaks were employed, the system has been stable for 5 months now. Heat is a big...
