muosman I'm not sure how you added a PTR to the Reverse Lookup, but I believe that by default that for any record you create in the Forward Lookup Zone, with the option for Creating a PTR selected, then this will automatically appear in the Reverse Lookup Zone, if it doesnt then you haven't...

Thanks Nick Is RRAS part of both Windows 2000 & 2003 Server and does it offer any security, if so which is better, 2000 or 2003 Steve

Thanks Jpoandl Something I didn't explain was that when the PDC was configured we didn't specifically need to use a valid domain name so as Microsoft suggested, you can use any name followed by .local, hence Flowline.local At this point if I looked at the DHCP Leases all users were logged into...

We have a Windows 2000 Server that is also our Primary Domain controller, the name of our domain is flowline.local The Server is also our DHCP and DNS Server. If I look at the leases on the DHCP Server I notice that some users are logged in on the Flowline.local domain, but others are logged...

My company has two offices in different locations and I have been tasked to install a network in both locations, each with their own server and then to connect the two offices so that the users from each office can see the data on the other offices server. I also have to allow for remote users...

One of our XP workstations had lost its Trust Relationship and had to be re-joined to our Windows 2000 Domain and in doing so created a new user profile. This meant I had to create a new Email account in Outlook XP and have copied the .pst file from the old profile to the new profile, so all...

Our Windows 2000 Server has just started to behave very strangley and several of our Windows XP Workstations have reported the following error when trying to logon to the Network "The trust relationship between the workstation and the primary domain failed". The server's Event Log says that...

Thanks Andy This info was just what I needed Stevieh

Is there any way of configuring the clients on a 2000 Server to allow them to receive and install Windows Updates. The Clients are currently configured as Power Users and they can download the Updates, but they are not notified that the update is ready to install and if they try to manually run...

...go to the DNS of the AD computer and forward DNS queries to your DNS computer. Remove DHCP service from the server that shouldn't have it and install it on the one that should (DHCP is independent of AD)... This may work, as the only reason I use DNS on the AD server is to allow the XP...

Is it possible to have one Server act as the DHCP & DNS and another as the Domain control using Active Dir. This is the problem I am facing as I need to try and bring two servers together into one network and it would be useful to keep my existing Domain controller with all its users and just...

I ran on online Virus scan from Trend this morn and I think it found the culprit, a backdoor virus which had corrupted the group policy database, so I decided to bite the bullet and do a re-format and a new installaion of the O/S. I'm happy to report that all is now working ok. Thanks to...

Hi TeknoSDS A Virus was my first thought, although the server is supposedly protected with Sophos. This is one of the strangest things I have come across, especially as the server still seems to be ok with the XP clients. I would really like to know what the error message in the Event Log...

Bob I haven't tried a static address, but my concern is that on Friday all 98 users had DHCP and could logon ok, but today they couldn't, so what has changed ?? None of the 98 pc's have ever had netBui installed. In Ad they only have a user account, but no computer account. I'm beginning to...

Thanks rphips, but I already tried this, although I wasn't expecting it to work as we already have SP4 installed which was supposed to cure this problem. Stevieh
