I've had NLB running on two identical servers for a couple of months. W2K3 with SP2 and updates. All was running fine until one of the servers was powered off for about 24 hours. When the server was powered back on it failed to rejoin NLB. I've disolved NLB on both servers and tried to...

Thanks for the responses so far. DCDIAG showed an error 0x00000457, but I don't think this is releated. DNS looks fine and all non-used NIC's are disabled in both DC's. Tim

I'm getting the error message, (shown between the dotted lines at the end of this message), every 30 day on one of our two domain controllers. The current work around is to reboot the DC, but this is not a satisfactory solution. I've tried all the suggestions from MS and various other forums...

Found the answer to my problem. I had a tick in the 'High Performance Mouse'. Once un-checked the mouse worked with Virtual Media still connected. Tim

I forgot to add that this happens even when using the Dual Cursor mode. Tim

Hello I've booted a BL20p G3 from a Virtual CDrom, (on my local PC), as I have no access to the physical server. The server boots fine, but the mouse on the server is not active while Virtual Media is connected. As soon as it's disconnected it works fine. This is a problem as I've booted...

Not sure why as I didn't look in to it after I realised it was related to network drives. I'm no expert, but I'm assuming it has to enumerate the drives when a File -> New is initiated. So, if there are issues with, say, DNS or cluster/NLB it may not be able to connect them at that time...

In the past I've found this to be problems with network drives that can't be located.

Hello I need some advice on restoring the Default Domain Controller Policy. I've read how to restore the policy with 'dcgpofix' as it was after the dcpromo finished, but I'd like some ideas as to what to expect from my senario. The policy has been renamed and unlinked. Not sure why as I've...

Sorry, just realised there is a 'PC Hardware - Video Issues' forum, but any help appreciated.

Hello I have an IBM ThinkPad T43 connected to a docking stating, which has DVI output amongst other connections. Each of my four machines is connected to a Avocent DVI switch, with DVI cables. My problem is with the laptop as it rarely recognises the external display. When the lid is shut it...

I've configured an AD GPO to prevent users from navigating to UNC paths in Explorer, which works fine, but it allows them to navigate to UNC paths from Office Applications. I think it's using a different dialogue box in Office, but is there a to stop users accessing UNC paths from Office Apps...

Hello Does anyone know how to disable the 'click to activate' function in IE6 via the registry? My server is a w2k3 Enterprise edition with SP2. According to some articles I've read it should be disable in SP2 after being enabled in SP1. Any help appreciated. Thanks

Can't believe no one else has experienced a similar problem?!!?

Hello Configuration = W2K3 serviers and CPS4 There are a number of user and computer policies that run against an OU with Citrix servers in it. These work fine and all applications run ok. The servers are W2K3 Enterprise WITHOUT any SP due to various reason I won't go in to. I want to be on...
