Office is huge, how are you deploying it? Tell me it is not spanning the WAN. If so, that is your problem.

Why is it impossible that you did not fill the tape. There are time when one thinks the data on the drive gets backed up only a single time. For instance, in Veritas BE you can select the "drive" to get backed up and also any databases with their corresponding agent, like agent for SQL or Agent...

I thought the /jm had to be upper case. Check this and see.

This is a reply to Bugbear0001's post. I too used PSExec to push it out to my remote locations, executing the script on the workstations with "passed" credentials. I had the script execute the package in the Win32 folder down in VPHome, where the .dat file is located. For most of the...

AdamOK is correct. 15/30, 35/70, 100/200, 200/400 all are native vs compressed data. If you are backing up data that is about as compressed as it can be...*.jpg, *.zip, *.tar, and a gazillion other file types, then you will always get closer to the native rating on the tapes that you are using...

Our Win 98SE machines also had this problem. We did a packet capture of the negotiations between the DHCP server and the workstations and it was found that the workstations(Win98SE) do not follow the correct protocol for requesting a renewal on their IP address. Funny as it seems though is that...

Nick, I would suggest the site www.15seconds.com. They have a ton of stuff for scripting as well as other stuff. And no I don't work for them or get kickbacks. I learned about the site from a SANS security guy. The site rocks. BTW, I have since learned how to query WinNT. It all starts with...

I need help in automating or scripting the clearing of a User's password digest field. Any tips, help or direction will be appreciated.

Ok, well I did do the uninstall and reinstall and I must admit that everyone who said it would be easy were right. It was a breeze. Aside from doing the device group configs again all was kept in the databases. Arcserve is an ok software in my book.

I need to move Arcserve or at least the logs and databases. I want to do this without reinstalling it all. I have worked for weeks getting 3 libraries and 4 standalone drives working without a hitch and I am finding that even with the databases set to prune at 20 days and minimal logging going...

I would like to check for group memberships of an NT 4.0 domain via vbscript. We are putting Win2k servers in production, but have not installed Active Directory yet. I am migrating my Novell login scripts to Windows login scripts and need to check various group memberships in the decision...

Once the ACPI is changed to standard system, you have to manually force the PCI(1) <<read AGP to reserved in the BIOS. I had to remove the other cards in the system and replace them one at a time for the correct IRQ assignment. Make sure that you do all of these steps. 1. Change ACPI to...

Keep in mind that file fragmentation doesn't mean file corruption. It just means that that files are found in many places on a disk and not in one contiguos area. I would doubt the line of thinking that the ID file was corrupt. I'm not a gambler, but I would put my money somewhere else. You...

I do not sell, nor am I suggesting you buy, but I use &quot;regmon&quot; & &quot;filemon&quot; from SysInternals(Winternals). It does exactly what you need done. I am a LAN/WAN Admin for 1000 user network. New apps can drive you crazy, but with the right tools, we push past these little...

I agree with the delete and recreate method. This will work without error or lost sleep. Dont worry about recreating this type of object. While deleting and recreating a container would be cumbersome and complex, this type of object should always be deleted if corruption is suspected. I have...
