anyone got any ideas please?

i've worked something out now that if you use the configure your server tool then it forces you to enter a domain name and the domain name given by your internet people thus i get conquest.conquestfoods.com. if i use the dcpromo.exe (active directory installation wizard) then it only asks for...

hi Im setting up a domain in win2k and am currently setting up dns and active directory. The books i have show it sets up the domain name as eg microsoft.com yet when i set it all up it sets up as conquest.conquestfoods.com. The conquest bit is my domain (old workgroup name) and the...

no, its no reference to transformers. just a name i made up

thanks for the replies both boxes are checked the printer is a brother 2500 its not a usb printer the naming is fine the 98 machine can see and use the brother 1030 (connected to a win 2k machine)on the network fine its just this one that it cant see. The fact that i can see/use the 1030...

i've already done this. its actually a peer to peer workgroup but it is part of the same workgroup and file and print services are set up. i can see the win 2k machine in network neighbourhood on the 98 machine and connect to the shared files but cannot see or use the shared printer. regards dan

Does anyone know why on my windows 2000 machine all the other 2000 machines can be seen in my network places but the windows 98 machines cant. because of this it wont let me share the printer. Ive got file sharing etc set to on. Any help much appreciated. Dan

not sure if i've got the right end of the stick here but have you tried date() instead of now(). If this doesnt help can you post more info.

Hi I have a part built win 2k domain. i have been testing it and have found out that users can go into network neighbourhood and delete the shared folder or the contents. I've tried a number of different ways and some stop the deletion but then dont allow any access. Does anyone have any...

thanks again for your reply. i've worked something out that if i open the file in imaging then save it as bmp, jpeg etc then come out of imaging and try to open it again normally by clicking on it then it works. very strange. I'll keep plugging away, maybe i did the registry thing wrong...

thanks for your reply. unfortunately it still wont work. i've managed to find a workaround but its still awkward and i dont get it. regards dan

Does anyone know why i can open jpeg, bmp etc files when i am in administrator/power users mode in win 2k yet when i go into restricted users mode i cant, it says 'no file information can be found in the registry'. The users have to be restricted in what they can do for security purposes but...
