"I could teach a blind ape with only two toes to admin. a Windows 2000 network in 20 days" Thank you for that, Steve, Windows 2000 network admin.

Are you sure there is nothing wrong with your 2000 cd? Steve.

Thanks for your replies. We are using sql so I think I'll give it a try with that. Thanks. Steve.

Hello All, I need to build a database for storing and tracking all the hardware on our school network. I'll be building the front end in PowerCobol 6.1. Does anyone have any views on whether to build the tables in access or sql etc or use cobols native indexed files and so on. Is there any...

We are school and at times need to restrict/ban students email access for various reasons. Does anyone know of a way to this. We are using Exchange server 2000 with Outlook 2000 as the client. The workstations are win 2000 pro. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Steve.

We have an all 2000 network. There is an option in GP to delete locally stored profiles on the workstations on log off. I've tried this on my test network at home and it works fine. However at work it just will not work and I can't see why. Has anyone come across this? Steve.

Yes, but everyones a beginner at some point. No ones born knowing it are they? With all due respect, following your line of reasoning then no one would ever try anything new that was difficult. Are you also saying that windows is easy. To you and me (not beginners) yes it is, but there are a...

I stand corrected. No need for the sarcasm. However this won't work if someone gives him a win95 boot disk with no cd support. In this case he would have to partition, format and sys the hard drive then install the cd drivers. Having done this he won't need the floppy anyway. Steve.

The easiest way to install linux is as has been mentioned - booting from the cd. You can create the partitions during the boot process. This is a lot easier with the more recent distributions such as mandrake. The other way is to create linux boot floppies. The instructions on how to do this...

You need to disable bi-directional support for this to work properly with NT. Steve.

Another one to watch out for. The 'no access' permission overrides all other permissions. So for eg. if you put a user in group1 with 'no access' and also in group2 with 'full control' then no access is what that user will get. Steve p.s I'm s-j-f, I joined a while ago and completely forgot...
