Thank you for your help. Because of other problems with the domain controller, I finally decided to reinstall the operating system on the domain controller, start a new domain and eventually got to this problem again. If I set the DNS for each computer on the network to an IP address of a DNS...

Thank you for the information. It looks like I do need another machine. I will give this a try. It will take a few days to get the other machine... Richard

Hello, I have MS Windows 2000 Advanced Server on a Proliant 3000 machine running as the primary domain controller for my network. Unfortunately, the server is limping along after having lost its primary system hard disk. The system disk was mirrored and the machine is now running off of the...

Thank you for following up. I wish I could type in LIST. The Diskpart program hangs before it shows me its prompt. I know what prompt it shows because I have run the program on another Windows 2000 machine. I can stop the program by pressing Ctrl-C, though. The server always showed the "you...

Yes, I tried both versions, Diskpart for Windows 2000 and Diskpart for Windows XP. I downloaded and installed Diskpart for Windows 2000 on another Windows 2000 machine so I can see how it works. Since the installation of Diskpart for Windows 2000 hangs on the server, I copied the installed...

Thanks for the tip. I downloaded diskpart from Microsoft's website and am now trying to install it on the machine. Unfortunately, the Windows Installer hangs, saying "Preparing to install...". Something is crippling this operating system. I am unable to start the Disk Manager, Windows...

I mirrored the drives using Microsoft Disk Manager. The reason I can't boot the server without using the floppy disk is because the drives I used are not identical. Of course I didn't realize this until I read the article "Reasons why Windows NT does not boot from a shadow mirror drive" at...

Thank you for your help. I shut down the server, took disk 0 out and put disk 4 in its place, updated the boot.ini file on the floppy disk and then booted the server. The operating system started and the MS SQL Server services started. When I try to start the Disk Management program from the...

Hello, I have a Compaq Proliant 3000 500Mhz file server w/5 hot-swappable SCSI hard drives. The server is the domain controller for my network. It is running MS Windows 2000 Advanced Server SP4. Disk 4 is a mirror of Disk 0, which is the boot drive. Both 0 and 4 are 4.3GB SCSI drives. The...

Thank you for the additional link. I followed all the recommended steps on the page and unfortunately this did not change IE 6's behavior. I also installed and ran the diagnostic tool. The diagnostic tool confirmed the configuration, permission settings and authentication methods used for the...

Thank you for the information. I believe the problem referenced in your second URL has already been resolved by Microsoft in IE 6 SP2. I found that the date and version of Wininet.dll on my machine is later than the one listed on Microsoft's page. It's not clear to me that the problem listed...

Hello, I have observed that my CGI script on MS IIS 5.1 will run but receive a form CONTENT_LENGTH of 0 when I do the following: 1) I have IE 6 SP2 log onto a page with a form on my website using integrated windows authentication; 2) I configure my CGI script to run using the anonymous...

Thank you for the tip. I did notice an option for forwarding when I looked at the server's DNS options and wondered if that would help. I will now read about forwarding and figure out how to use the feature. Richard

After a few hours of being logged on to a Win2K SP4 network using a new WinXP Pro machine, the WinXP Pro machine begins to have long delays accessing other machines on the network. Eventually, over the course of a few more hours, the machine can no longer access any of the other machines on the...

As it turns out, I already have an ASP variation of this script and it uses PerlScript. All variations of the script have the same feature that allows the script to load a file, modify the contents of the file and then send it to the browser. It works well if the file to load contains HTML...
