    DC at a remote location across WAN link

    Andrew, Thanks for the quick reply. We have a separate domain (with users) at each of the two locations. DomainA is at my head office. I want to create a DomainA DC at the site where DomainB is located. The idea is to place a DC (with a copy of the office file system) and an Exchange Server...

    DC at a remote location across WAN link

    Andrew, We have a head office with the domain I want to provide resilience for. I also have equipment at a remote location across a VPN link. I'd like to place a server at the remote location (where there is already another domain, different to the head office one) and make it a DC in the head...

    DC at a remote location across WAN link

    I need to put a domain controller at a remote location across a WAN link, to provide resilience/DR. Can anyone point me in the direction of any config examples/guidlelines/restrictions for doing this ? TIA Rob

    Can I get the source MAC address from an FTP file ?

    Is it possible to use VB to obtain the MAC address from the header of a file which is received by my FTP server ? I have a requirement to index the received file by the MAC address of the device that sends it, as that is the only UID on the device. Can anyone help ? TIA Rob

    ILO Access through a firewall - port forwarding

    Can I setup all of my ILO boards on the same IP address through my firewall, and just give each one a different port mapped to the local ILO bard address ? e.g. 80.41.42.10:55550 - ILO server 1 80.41.42.10:55551 - ILO server 2 80.41.42.10:55552 - ILO server 3 If I do this does ILO operate...

    Error Analysis on a Cisco Switch - Input errors, no output errors

    I have a network which runs across 2 Cisco Catalyst 2950 switches. I have been seeing problems recently with devices dropping off the network for short periods, just long enough for Insight Manager to alert me that they're gone. They return at the next polling interval. I've looked at the...

    Can I recover from a failed sole DC using restore ?

    adcfaq, Please accept my apologies. I have a couple of threads open at the moment and have replied to this one with a reply meant for another one. In answer to your response, I have two DCs in my domain but, as they are both on the same hardware, I am considering the potential for a hardware...

    Can I recover from a failed sole DC using restore ?

    benlu, Thanks for your reply. My current WLBS config is as follows. Port Range : 0 to 65535 Protocols : Both Filtering Mode : Single Load Weight : Equal Hosts : Multiple That being the case, this covers the range specified in the link that you sent me, and so shouldn't it already be...

    Can I recover from a failed sole DC using restore ?

    If I have a domain consisting of a number of member servers but only one DC, am I able to rebuild that DC in the event of failure from a system state backup ? If so, what would the procedure be ? TIA Rob

    Problems with external Net access from behind a 506E

    Chris, I don't think packet loss is the issue, to give you a bit more background info...... We've had a couple of problems lately with our ADSL router, which the PIX sits behind. We have a second ADSL link which is behind a router with built-in firewall. We switched over to this link when our...

    Problems with external Net access from behind a 506E

    I have a PIX506E with no content filtering and no other restrictions on outgoing traffic. I am having a couple of issues which I don't quite understand. 1. I am unable to ping external sites that I should otherwise be able to ping, i.e. www.bbc.com, www.hp.com, etc. If I ping these addresses...

    2 x 300Gb disks only give 550Gb array ?

    Fraxx, Thanks for the info. This ties in with what I've since found out from other sources. However, this confuses me slightly. As far as I'm concerned, 1Kb=1024b, 1Mb=1024Kb, 1Gb=1024Mb. It's always been my understanding that this is the case, and all literature I've ever read and everyone...

    2 x 300Gb disks only give 550Gb array ?

    I am installing Win2000Adv server on a HP Proliant DL360. I have 2x300Gb U320 drives, installed as a single volume at RAID0. This gives me a total volume size of just over 550Gb. Where's my other 50Gb gone ? 10% seems to be a large amount of disk space to lose ? TIA Rob
