My guess is that when you cycled power, the server had to go through the chkdsk step prior to restarting. Pings answer as soon as enough of the OS is loaded to provide power and support to the NICs but I believe that chkdsk is performed after this stage. Restarting the server normally via...

Try this on for size. http://www.wildpackets.com/products/ipsubnetcalculator It's freeware and has save me a few times from having to do the math in my head. Jeffery Smith (Smitty) PEC Solutions Inc. BS - Computer Application & Networking A+ Network+ MCSA MCSE

In a nutshell, if a machine is joined to a domain, the domain policy holds regardless of who is logged in or where. Login does not matter in this case so a locally logged on user will have the same policy applied as a remotely logged on person. Basically, mrmoneymatters is correct in that...

Actually they can, at least for a short period of time. We sometimes overide domain policies by changing the local policy which allow us to perform some tasks until the domain policy kicks in again which is usually set by time. Domain policies can be set to update periodically or when a user...

I have had this probllem quite a few times myself. For me it stemmed from being terminaled into a server or logged in locally on a server then changing my password from another location such as my desktop while still logged on. Logons can remain in effect even though you have closed the session...

There are two ways to do this. The first and the one I would recommend considering it sounds like you will allow more than one or two people to perform this function is to create a security group say AddComputers. In Add Computers and Users snap-in, right click the domain and select properties...

Lander215 is correct. One point of interest is that a server does not have to be joined to a domain prior to dcpromo even though it will also worked if joined. By telling the server the domain during the first phase of the DCPromo it will join and promo all at one time deleting the need to join...

This won't work. You cannot promo a DC with one name then rename it, change it's IP and expect it to work as a DC. You will have problems and errors everywhere. You can copy all non system files or data to the new DC and as Tangostar says, move all roles off of the old DC but you must install...

Why not simply open the file for reading and while not EOF do a incement count. Ex. Number = 0 Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") Set objFile = objFSO.OpenTextFile(AppPath & "TextFile.txt", 1) Do Until objFile.AtEndofStream strTemp = objFile.ReadLine Number =...

Try this. CommonDialog1.Filter = "Text Files(*.txt)|*.txt" CommonDialog1.ShowOpen Open CommonDialog1.FileName For Input As #1 Do While Not EOF(1) Line Input #1, strTemp Loop Close #1 Add strTemp to combo box. Jeffery Smith (Smitty) PEC Solutions Inc...

I should have mentioned that you need to \\servername at Run and when the mapping util is up. Jeffery Smith (Smitty) PEC Solutions Inc. A+ Network+ MCSA MCSE

Try this. We use it all the time. Start, Run, type the name of the server you want to map to. A pop up will show to enter logon name and password. Make sure you use the domain name that holds your logon name with your logon name in this pop up. Hit OK and let it connect. Once the connection is...

A DNS tool that can be used for DNS lookup is nslookup though I don't know if it is available to wind98. Another option since you believe that this is a DNS problem and from the explaination so far I would agree, is to go to the DNS server and use the MMC for DNS and connect to the DNS server...

The hotfix for Q281308 fixed my dup name problem. Now I can \\ into the servers using the virtual name. Added a static WINS entry for the virtual name to be able to call up the servers without having to use the FQDN. All that now works. Round Robin is functioning as expected HOWEVER, (big pause...

This is most definitely an interesting problem. You are correct in that the problem has been proven to be the DHCP service. Mathematically speaking it does not make any sense as to why it stops at 243. This would equate to 11110011. I am curious as to why you have chosen to run a class C...
