Hi, We are migrating our whole network from one subnet to another. I'm looking to change our 2 node 2003 Cluster now and cannot seem to find the precise procedure to follow. The only doco MS has on offer that I can find is KB230356 but this seems vague and incomplete. Having read the article...

We are required to migrate our entire network to a different IP range in the next couple of weeks. We currently have 2 Windows 2003 Domain Controllers (lets call them DC1 and DC2), each running DNS, DHCP and are both Global Catalogs. We have 300 PCs. My initial thoughts on how to migrate are...

Following a couple of departmental redundancies, our policy is to change 'system' passwords to something new. I was asked to modify the Domain Administrator account for my 2003 domain which was also being used as the Cluster Service account. I decided to create a different account clusadmin, and...

I have built a Windows 2003 Active Directory and use DHCP for allocated addresses to my clients. I have authorised the DHCP into the Active Domain and Dynamic DNS is working well. However, within our building/ network we have a number of departments who are administered by a different I.T...

The only way I know of giving users drive mappings without using scripts or batch files is to use PolicyMaker by Desktop Standard. It's not particularly cheap, but you also get the ability to supply application icons to desktop/ menus, set default settings in Office/ Outlook apps and loads more...

Thanks chaps, It was really the AD Multimaster idea I was confused about, so the answers really help.

I'm setting up a new Windows 2003 Domain and have a question regarding DNS and DHCP. I've set-up DNS on the first Win2003 Server when installing Active Directory and all works fine. I have made DNS on this server Active Directory Integrated. On a second Server (also a Domain Controller), I've...

Thanks for that. The RA4100 controller was set to 50% Read and 50% write cache by default. I've now set it to 100% Read and 0% write cache and will test during the day.

We have two Compaq 8500R Servers connected via fibre channel to a StorageWorks 4100 RAID Array using Windows NT4 SP6a. I am currently commissioning the above Cluster and I have a reliability problem when failing over resources. When I fail over a group from Cluster node 1 to Cluster node 2, most...

Anyone had experience of using SMS 2.0 with Cluster Server. I have two NT Server 4.0 Enterprise edition servers (PDC and BDC) in my cluster. I am installing SMS 2.0 on a seperate server following the install guide from Microsofts SMS 2.0 Administrators Guide Book and it states 'do not install...

A nice simple one here. Due to corporate policy and against my better judgement, I've built an NT4 Cluster to replace our Novell 4.11 Server. I've started migrating the first few users and administration is a pain. I'm looking for a management tool to mimic Novell's Application Launcher. It...

I've built a new NT domain (both PDC and BDC are NT4 Server with SP6a and incidentally, clustered). For some reason, one of my users on our existing Novell 4.11 network (running NT4 Workstation with Sp6a and in a Workgroup only) is getting messenger service messages from the BDC regarding...

We have KnowledgeCenter Support and expect an email reply within 1-2 days according to their own documentation. I'll be discussing both their support levels and the solution to the problem today.

Top man. Just tried this on one of the PCs with the error and noticed the floppy LED was illuminated constantly on shutdown until I ended the task. After unchecking the scan floppies on shutdown option, every PC with the error is now behaving. Shame Network Associates couldn't have given me this...

I'm getting the same error on shutdown, running VirusScan 4.5.1 on Windows NT4 service pack 6a. Has anyone got the slightest idea why this is?
