All, I need to find out if there is a way to repress the creation of the \Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Office 10 folder...Our network security folks have determined some of the files are a security risk and not required if Office 2003 is installed. Each time AutoCAD 2004...

We have a growing problem with Office 2003 installs. A little background first...we work in a very large enterprise environment. We were provided, by our headquarters, a copy of Office 2003, with transforms, to use from a network share to perform clean installs. These are fresh installs...

That did the trick thanks!

All, We have several 2000 boxes that have an Explorer issue. If we open Explorer (not IE) the left pane, the one that usually shows the folder structure, is solid and all that is available is the X in the upper corner of the folder view. Another strange thing is, if I switch View|Explorer...

All, I am loking for a means to find the IP address of a known host based on the MAC address...I am trying to track down any network printers that have IPX enabled. So if I do a network monitor I can see hosts sending out SAP broadcasts but only have the mac. Any ideas? TIA

werre...have a look at the link below. This works well if you have physical access to a machine and it is not an AD domain controller (which I see it is not, but wanted to warn you...) It works quickly! Good Luck http://home.eunet.no/~pnordahl/ntpasswd/

Valid question mawilson...1st we are directed to by the level II folks (which means do it but we don't have any support built into the process) and it really makes sense since many of our sites are geographically separated from the building that houses the servers. Now the print jobs stay at...

All, This is a repost of one I put on the W2K Pro board but thought I would set it up over here...this is more of a OS issue versus and HP printer problem but I am getting desperate...Help! I am still trying to solve a problem I thought had gone away... We are trying to migrate our...

All, I am still trying to solve a problem I thought had gone away... We are trying to migrate our users from a central printer server to directly printing to networked HP printers. The problem is some users will lose the printer port after a time. Of course no port no printing. We can not...

All, I need some help...we are migrating away from a print server environment to individual printers with either JetDirect cards or Lex cards. Here is the problem...some of our users have lost thier printer, ports and all, if they restart the machine. However the folks that are admins...

All, Looking for some help setting up an ACL...I want to allow a private class b host range access to a specific web address...the range is 172.10.80.20 thru 255 and then 172.10.81.20 thru 255. I am thinking if I just ignore the part between 172.10.80.255 thru 172.10.81.20 those host will...

doubleE...where exactly do we set that up? Is this set up on the client's profile or is it something set up in the calendar properties or...thanks for pointing me in the right direction...

I found a good description of what steps occur when W2K starts up but does anyone know of a good reference for what happens after a user logs on, especially onto a domain. Specifically, I am looking at what point hives are loaded...this is all in an attempt to speed up user log ons. TIA!

OK so how did you fix it? Were the paths crossed or a policy or...I am interested in the repair action!

Why is it required to use WINS in a 2000 environment or am I assuming too much? Are you using DNS and allowing for DDNS? Is your domain in native or mixed mode? If your domain is set up with DDNS (and it is working) and AD is set up you shouldn't have to use WINS for name resolution? DO you...
