Hi all, I have been tasked with migrating mailboxes from 5.5 to 2003. The difference here is that the NT domain is not to be migrated yet. I have read up and see I can use a resource domain where I create duplicate accounts in the target domain with identical SIDS to the source domain. The...

Well, Cisco routers but I have been assured that there is no restriction on traffic between the sites. Do you think it could be port blocking? Vince Lewin mcp, mcsa:m There is always a solution, somewhere...

Hi, Yeah all FSMO roles are up and running all be it in a different site. Event log holds errors relating to RPC timeout. I remember from my studies that the timeout can be adjusted on the site connections, but I have not done that yet. Vince Lewin mcp, mcsa:m There is always a solution...

Hi, I have a parent domain and under that a child. The parent comprises of two 2003 DC's and the child of five DC's. I have added a site and placed two servers in this site, one is a parent domain dc and the other is an additional child DC. The sites are connected via a dedicated 8M link and...

Hi all, I am relatively new to this so please excuse my ignorance. I am building an application available to registered users. Any one can register and provide a username and password. At the end of the registration I am echoing back to them the information they have added and also emailing...

Pat, I have spent days looking these events up and have got nowhere. I find Google is a much better bet as it gives you pages from eventid.net as well as digging out those imposible to find microsoft pages. What would you do if this was your server? Regards Vince

Help please. I am getting major problems with exchange at startup, infact it just wont start after a re-boot. The only thing I have found to work is to re-instal SP2 and then without re-starting the server, I start the services. I have Exchange running on the second DC in my domain. The...

Thanks all. I am now building a server to the same spec to test this scenario out. Vince

Hi all, Currently my customer uses Admin mode for the two concurrent connection but needs more than the two. He has asked for more TS connections and I believe the only way forward with this is to instal fully blown TS. The server is an existing DC carrying the Global catalogue and sits...
