Now I get what you're saying. My policy for backups are Inrecemental Backups (Mon-Thurs) and then Full Backup - Reset Archive Bit on Friday. I would think that with this sort of policy, it could be possible to swap disks every week - as it is supposed to reset the archiving. The reason for...

Windows NT does not auto-detect when I plug in a USB hard disk. What is the proper way to install a USB hard disk and assign it a static drive letter?

How would I go about installing a USB hard disk? Windows NT does not auto-detect the media when I plug it into the USB port. What is the proper way of doing this?

Thomas, You mentioned that you were not able to swap the hard drives? Is it not possible to simply change to a different removable HDD and assign it the same drive letter?

Thanks Thomas. That was very helpful.

Is there a version of Veritas Backup Exec that can backup to an external HDD, instead of just tape?

After updating data, save and close the file. Open it again and check if the cells have been deleted or modified. If it remains the same, then there is no reason the cells would disappear the following day. Make sure that the computer is Shutdown properly at the end of the day to ensure that...

Are you using DHCP? Is there a limit on the lease-time of IP addresses? Have you tried using a different wireless card? Maybe disable your current wi-fi devide and then use a PCMCIA wi-fi card and see if the same problem occurs? This will help determine if it is a hardware problem. Have you...

Has anyone succesfully installed a combination of Windows 2003 SBS + Exchange 5.5 on one server? Based on the reasearch i've done, it would seem that Exchange 5.5 will not run on a Windows 2003-based server due to the Active Directory feature in Windows 2003-based servers. However i've come...

rdroske, You are right, there is no option in the Network settings for IP filtering. But during my test installations of NT, there was an option to filter ports. There was something like filtering UDP ports and the likes. I can't remember it that well, but i will look into it and post it...

Thanks very much for all the help. I have tried installing it multiple times, and out of 10 times trying i got to connect to the PDC only once. I did suspect that it was a cable or switch issue and i did change the cables. Same thing keeps happening. What i might do is find another NIC and try...

What OS are you running? Try looking under Services to see whether there is any sort of webserver running.

If it isn't a virus, you might want to disable the 'auto-restart' mechanism. There is an option in XP which auto-restarts the machine if something goes wrong with the OS. You can disable this from Control Panel -> System -> Advanced -> Startup and Recovery Settings. Disable Automatic Restart...

There is an option for IP filtering in the network setting in NT 4.0. Try a few things, you'll learn more that way.

I'm actually doing something similiar at the moment. From the research i did, it looks like its best to have an Exchange 5.5 running on an NT 4.0. Once that is all working fine, you upgrade NT to Win2K. I haven't tried this myself but would be very inclined to find out whether it would work or not.
