It all depends on how much you are willing to spend, but the network monitor that comes with NT Server is not a bad place to start, and best of all its free. Also it depends on what kind of network monitoring you want to do. Do you want to see how much traffic is on your network or just...

Another difference is how much time do you want the system to be down while you do a restoration. With incremental like Gazt said just backs up the data that has changed since your last normal backup. Which means that in order to restore your data you need to restore the last normal backup and...

I'm not rebooting the system when this happens, and I don't believe that the cmos battery is dead, because just the date changes and not the time. This happened yesterday 9/15/02 at about 1PM. I have atomic clock installed on the system, but from time to time it can't reach the time server...

Every 30 days or so my NT4 server's system date will change to the privous date. The server is being used as my Exchange 5.5 server and all security patches are up to date and SP6a is installed.

Sounds like your ROM chip, where your bio's is stored is dead. Without a system bio's your server is just a door stop. Did anything happen before your server crashed?

There are three files on Exchange 5.5 that can not be backed up while the exchange services are running these are the priv.edb, dir.edb, pub.edb. You can only backup these files by stopping the exchange services. Once you have done a full off line backup, you should then be able to just backup...

Ever since we were infected by the Nimda virus OWA is inaccessible. I have uninstalled and then reinstalled OWA, nothing. Other than completely reloading NT4.0 and Exchange 5.5 any suggestions on what I can do. HELP

Try to exclude all files and folders and *.dll's associated with printing from being scanned by your antivirus. I did this almost two month's ago and haven't had any problems since.[2thumbsup]

I excluded all printer associated *.dll's and folder as discribed about, and it has worked so far. I will let everyone know if I have anymore problems. Thanks to everyone for their input and support.s-)

I believe that this is an Exchange question. I have an Outlook 2000 client running on Win2K that cannot receive any e-mail from another outlook 2000 client running on WinME. I have reinstalled both outlook 2000 clients, and still have the same problem. I have also tried installing both client...

I am running norton antivirus, and I am also running a virus scan useing Veritas Backup Exec 8.5, prior to doing any backups on this server. The only thing that I don't understand is that my other print server has never lost any printers, just this one server. They are both running the same...
