to itsp1965: I started this thread as a tip. It's a description of a problem I encountered, and how I solved it. Just for the benefit of others who might run into this problem. Thanks for your reply.

In addition the following errors in eventvwr, System log : Source=DCOM EventID=10010 Source=Service Control Manager EventID=7024 might be related to the above mentioned VSS error.

I obtained the following error after every server reboot: Event Type: Error Event Source: VSS Event Category: None Event ID: 12289 Date: 7/01/2009 Time: 14:59:36 User: N/A Computer: FPSERVER Description: Volume Shadow Copy Service error: Unexpected error LookupAccountName( NULL, HIVT\admin...

The answer to the riddle appeared to be very simple : the Default Domain Policy GPO had its "Enforced" flag active. So it took precedence over any GPO executed afterwards, even if they were Enforced as well. The first Enforced GPO executed always wins... So after removing the Enforced flag on...

Within our Default Domain Policy there is a setting to disable the Offline Files feature for workstations : Machine Configuration > Network > Offline Files > Allow or Disallow use of the Offline Files feature = Disabled Prohibit user configuration of Offline Files = Enabled. User...

FOUND IT! No xcopy, xxcopy, robocopy... but a simple .VBScript ! For the example in my first post, this would look like: [COLOR=green]Const OverWriteFiles = True Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") objFSO.CopyFolder "D:\Data\ABC*" , "D:\test" , OverWriteFiles[/color green]...

This would only copy any FILES starting with "ABC". I really want all files (no filter on those), but residing within the DIRECTORIES with names starting with "ABC

Robocopy, XCOPY and all that stuff apparently refuse to accept wildcards in the source directory. I am looking for a way to copy entire directories, of which the names start with a certain pattern. This implies the use of a wildcard. e.g. Robocopy d:\data\ABC* d:\test\ /s The idea being that...

Thanks, Neil I couldn't find any option in the default group policies to disable this feature. On the other hand, as I mentioned, I'm not sure what the correct path in the KEYNAME should be, to have this "feature" behave like a True Policy. I have been searching for info about where exactly...

After some research, I found the answer on this website: http://www.petri.co.il/adding_new_administrative_templates_to_gpo.htm The KEYNAME is indeed \Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Applets\Tour but to avoid the "There are no items to show in this view", and subsequently the...

My basic problem is I want to disable the XP-nag "Windows XP Tour". The corresponding registry key would be: HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Applets\Tour However, when specifying this as KEYNAME in a ADM-file, adding the template to a policy, will create new category Nuisances...

I had the same problem (most likely caused by some virus indeed), and got it back to work by copying Mshta.exe from C:\WINNT\ServicePackFiles\i386 to C:\WINNT\System32. You might also find it in C:\WINNT\System32\dllcache , but make sure you unmark "hide protected operating system files" in...

Active Directory Users and Computers; R-click user account, ->Properties, and select tab Profile

I forgot to mention: I assume the CONTEXT under which the home directory is created, is the USER's credentials ? And what if the group USERS has no permissions on the folder HOMESHARE ? The thing is, I would like to avoid having to create the home directories for all users upfront, as there are...

Baddos, What are the default permissions on your share HOMESHARE ? Especially for the group USERS ? You can mail me a screenprint if you want... (p.vanos@hivt.ha.be) I observed that the home directory is NOT created at first logon, while the drive letter H: and the path are correctly entered in...
