Looks like its sorted. MS guy advised me to look at the properties of the Internet SMTP connector, and to add the exchange server to the local bridgehead. Since i did this a couple of days ago, the errors have stopped. Looks like the MS guy came good, although he initially told me to log...

When ive done this previously, the technet recommended to do a metadata cleanup as well if you are removing the DC completely. It wasnt in all the locations it suggested but there were still some references to it

Thanks Guys, sorry a little late but been doing some other stuff as well. The store does seem quite stable at the moment though. We are still getting the netsky worm detected and removed at the moment, as this was one of the reasons for corruption, due to misconfig'd AV software removing...

Ive monitored the replication with the AD replication monitor also, and all was succesful a little more info - there are 4 dc's of which 2 are Global Catalogues. The exchange server is not a Global Catalogue Thanks Andy

Thanks marcs41 the exchange server is already on sp3 with the post sp3 rollup package as well, so the first 3 dont apply. The only one that may apply is the last link. There are no obsolete DC's listed, and ive replicated between all the servers and everything seems fine, although nothing is...

Ive ended up having perform a makeshift disaster recovery on an exchange 2000 box by getting the store remounted, then backing everything up to .pst and then import them back in to a new datatbase, as the customer had no backup and the database was corrupt. One of the things I tried to do to...

Carl, ive looked in the areas you suggested but I cant any keys that show the default open/save as location within word, or any app for that matter. The office version is 9.0/2000 I did notice there was extra registry keys, when i browsed the registry logged on via rdp as the user, such as MRU...

Carl, when you say the default locations on your config, i presume your referring to the registry as you mention later Which area of the registry would I need to look at ?

We have a customer, that through a series of events ended up having E2k on 1 server, but the public folders on another server. The server that held the public store has been deleted within server manager. Ive edited the public folders so they look at the main e2k server, and ive copied the...

Have you tried applying the bat file via a group policy. I run all my logon scripts this way including drive mappings and all perform nicely

Thanks petje Its office 2000 but it was a first release. Ive installed sr1 and that has prevented me from seeing the whole drive, which is good, but the default opening location is still my documents, albeit the my docs in the cached profile on the citrix server, and they can still save docs in...

Guys, ive edited the system adm in my policy to hide various drives including the M: and N: drives and applied the loopback setiing everything works fine when you view from explorer, the user cant see any of the drives. But when they open word etc and do file/open, it opens up inside the...

I always thought it should be set to background services, ive been using that setting since reading the rick dillinger doc

Apologies, but i left some info out We are using Uniprint version 4.2.1 on the servers. The spool area does contain folders for each user that has logged on. On the older FR2 system, we did have occasions where the spooled file would not delete after printing, but this would only cause the...

We are running XP fr3 on 2 w2k servers hosting an asp system running a single appplicaion Very Occasionally, the spooler service will crash with event id 7031, the spooler service terminated......etc. This only happens just as youve run the application after logging on to citrix, not when you...
