OK senario, Win2K server running a domain, you've got 100 Win2K pro workstations. What policies do you use for passwording the local Admin account on the clients? I set on admin pass for all the clients, different to the domain admin account. I also rename the default admin accounts. What do...

I've not had the locking while booting problem but I know, from experience, once the server is up you can't just pop a keyboard/mouse on and expect it to work. It won't use the K/M after boot if it wasn't there during. I always make sure I have terminal services running in remote management...

How is the user profile configured? If you're using roaming profiles you could be downloading your desktop settings from the remote server over frame relay... could take hours. I had a customer with the same problem... users had word and excel docs on the desktop and every time they logged in...

I have a win2k and netware installation. (Except I use Win2K Pro on the desktop.) I installed the Novell Client on the workstations. This allows me to log into the Windows 2000 Domain and login to the Netware sever at the same time during log in. I've never used the MS win2k gateway or novell...

Heay popotech Forget everything posted above, with the skill level you admit you have and the importance of the project, you need to either, (1) Outsource but manage the project. Use a authorised company to install and config the system for you. or (2) Attend MS or equivalent training...

I've not done any work with XML or XSL, I know what they are but wouldn't be able to apply that to the Intranet app I'm developing.

Hmmm, that's what I thought of doing first or having one page with links to sub pages but changing the permissions on the server so they get a permission violation error when accessing pages they are not permitted to. I was hoping there was a smarter way to do it. thanks for your input

OK you have to step away from the traditional term server, thinking that it's a box locked in a room somewhere. You get Windows 2000 Server and install it on a server specification box. (like a Dell PowerEdge). This is your platform to work from, for example you'd config DNS server, this is a IP...

I guess for the security side of things they want you to be running full aduiting so you can say the request was made at 9:28am from workstation with IP 172.27.0.23 and user Mr John Doe was logged in at the time. OK you don't need to worry about IP's. Either use one of the reserved private...

Ah, got it. I've used the same name and p/word as local admin for the workstation and on the domain. When I connect I'm not logged in so the server requests a login name/pass. 'cos there the same it lets me in. Ta

Yes, that about sums it up. -remember the SERVER MUST have a static IP. -set up the server first. The server will be the domain controller. It'll also run the DHCP and DNS server. -with IP's I'd recommend using the range like 172.27.0.x subnet 255.255.255.0. 172.27.0 is the network id, x is...

It's difficult to determine what you are try to do here. Are you hoping to end up with a Windows 2000 Domain with the NT server running as a member server with the apps? If this is the case then I'd suggest, as I have done at customer site, install 2000 server on the new box, dcpromo the...

I don't think there is an easy way to do this other than a physical file copy. There are a few 3rd party tools that help with rehoming users between servers

Have you tried to login as guest? leaving the password blank? Can you reconnect to the domain? If you can the you can login to the domain as an admin and change the local password from there by using computer management -> Local User and Groups.

btw it's GFi MailSecurity not MailEssentials you would require.
