Has anyone used ESD 2005 (http://www.smsexpert.com/Products/ESD.asp) or a similar product that allows users to request SMS packages from a web based store front? Are there any of you that have been able to implement a solution that does a similar thing?

Currently we have our primary site setup and fully functional. We have a remote office, and would like to configure a server in the remote office as a distribution point. In order to do this, would the server in that remote office first have to be configured as a secondary site? Or can I just...

Somewhat related question, is there a way to make the max expiration for a remote assistance ticket longer that 99 days?

OK, to clarify... I am on an XP Pro machine, connected via VPN to my remote domain. On the domain, there is a Windows 2003 Server and several XP Pro machines. I want to offer remote assistance from my XP machine to PC's on the domain. I know I can connect to them if they initiate the session...

I've been unable to do that though. I can ping the destination PC's, can even remote desktop to them, but when trying to initiate remote assistance, get "access denied" I know that when editing the group policy options that I noted in my first post, you have to specify who the approved helpers...

I understand that an "expert" can initiate a remote assistance session, assuming that -gpedit, Computer Configuration, Administrative Templates, System, Remote Assistance, Offer Remote Assistance" option is enabled. I tested it out, and when i'm on a PC logged in to the domain, I am able to...

Can't you give the user "owner" permissions for any file they've created? Wouldn't this also limit their ability to delete other users files?

I am curious as well to see what the best path is in this case. I have a similar situation. Old NT PDC. Purchased a new Dell Server with 2003 Server already loaded. Don't want to wipe it and install NT 4.0

FYI, I ran the check disk for errors tool built into windows, set it to "Automatically fix file system error" and "Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors"... after running it, I get the error "Windows was unable to complete the disk check" Thanks for the help

I have a Maxtor 6Y060P0 (60 GB) hard drive that at one time, i put into my Tivo as extra storage. I recently took it out of the Tivo and put it into my PC to use for additional storage, formatted it as NTFS using both the Disk Management built into Windows 2000, and using the Maxtor disk...

Is everybody stumped or does nobody like me?

One of our users is getting a blank gray screen whenever opening up certain windows....for example, when right clicking on "my computer" the properties page goes up blank and gray....this happens with all similar types of windows...any ideas? Thanks

Thanks to all...the prob was the domain controller security policy...i added to login locally and access this computer from the network, and i guess i was impatient and didn't allow the change to replicate...working now though..thanks

I also went into the domain controller security policy and added the user to "access this computer from the network"...still no luck

I am able to access my FTP site when logging in as an Administrator. However I want to create a generic account for FTP access and don't want to allow anonymous connections. 1) I created a new user in AD as ftpuser and on the dial-in tab i allowed access. 2) Went in to the NTFS Security...
