Chrisosullivan, I have encountered ALL sorts of errors when trying to run KIX32 in an XP environment. I have used KIX32 for my Win9x logins to enable %username% and other standard Windows system variables. Windows XP can handle the system variables just fine. I would just go to a standard...

Starwars, You probably know this but I should at least ask or mention: You must set the TRUSTED Domain FIRST before you can set the TRUSTING Domain. example: DomainOne & DomainTwo Steps (in order) Set DomainOne TRUSTED Domain = 'DomainTwo' Set DomainTwo TRUSTING Domain = 'DomainOne'...

Hoosie2, Well, I would make sure that you delete the BDC being upgraded from the server manager before trying to readd it to the domain. I don't think the IP address will be a problem. However, I personally, like to name my servers in a way that reflect their role and/or OS when running in a...

Crmayer, You don't mention whether you have enough licenses or not?! If you have 30 licenses, it will depend upon how many PCs and/or servers you actually have onsite. I manage a couple of clients with 150 users and 2 servers, but they share a small pool of common area workstations. This is a...

buena, What I see most often is that the POP3 accounts are trying to access the Exchange server from the external address of your MX record (ex: mail.myexchange.com = 209.94.220.31). I'm assuming that your exchange server is not in a DMZ but behind a firewall and has a private address. To make...

lizzieborden, If you're running WINS, you can easily check who the master browser is supposed to be by showing the database. The last machine to win a browser electin will be regarded as master until a new election is forced. You can force the election by rebooting your server or by just...

RANI007, Pardon my simplistic question...but DID youconfigure DHCP?

Couple of things: 1) As was mentioned, you would normally have only your router with an ISP supplied IP address. You should not need to change any IPs in your local network. Especially if you are running DHCP. Additionally, I would expect that your local IP address range are like: 192.168...

I have found that I sometimes need to enter the fully qualified domain name in the user identification box after clicking to join the PC to the domain. Ex: Domain name = MyDomain User name = Administrator MyDomain\Administrator

Outonalimb, You can disable the print messages through the registry. Sorry, but I don't remember if you do this only at the server or per workstation. Registry Settings System Key: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\Providers] Value Name: NetPopup Data Type...
