Customer has a network with several locations. All the locations have a branch-office VPN to the main location where the server is located. The application being run is accessed via RDP to this server. Customer has a requirement that all users have their own login credentials, nobody shares...

New PC, HP, with an HP fax modem installed, and HP Laserjet 1022nw, shared. Machine is joined to a domain, printer works for all users on the network. Fax is set to automatically print received faxes. When a fax goes into the print queue, the print queue hangs. Nothing prints, jobs stack in the...

Bought an SCO ticket, tech compared system to running system, found problems in root directory as well. At some point in fixing permissions the fixmog worked, so that's how it finished. Do NOT EVER (never ever ever) use relative pathnames in a script!!!!!!

running fixmog returns: dynamic linker: dlvr_audit: cannot open /osr5/usr/lib/libc.so.1 That file exists, has 555 permission, its parent folder has 755 permission.

System is SCO UNIX 6.0. I have had something seriously fubar'd with a bad script. User was writing a script to fix permissions in an application folder under /usr (to make it and its files visible to Windows users through SAMBA,) and the script got up a level higher than intended and set...

A customer showed me the license usage screen on his Server 2003 TS Licensing screen. He has 9 CALs, installed as per-device. One station name shows as having 6 permanent licenses and 9 temporary licenses. Some of the temporaries are 2 per day, like it's getting one at the start of the day and...

One computer on this network cannot log in to web sites with IE. Firefox works OK. The web site appears OK, but when login credentials are entered it shows "Cannot diplay the web page" as if there were no connection or no DNS. (I even tried it using the IP of one of my sites rather than the...

Exactly what I'm already thinking. I renamed the existing folders and started GWIA back up, the traffic was immediate. These things aren't sitting on the server waiting to be delivered (unless the queue folders are not where they should be!), they're arriving now. During the first minute or so...

Tried already, no change.

Customer has an ancient GroupWise 6.0.1 setup, so I don't know how much help to expect. They actually only have two addresses in use for public email, all other GW activity is strictly in-office, and only 6 users at that. When the GWIA starts, it lists 30 or 40 messages as "recipient unknown"...

Well, deleting the account from the phone and recreating it seems to have fixed it. A little bit of a pain, but not that bad, really. Send/Receive works as expected, so it must have been a busted-up account on the phone somehow.

Palm Treo Windows Mobile 6.1, POP3 account set up, has been working over a week now since I got it. Suddenly, selecting Send/Receive gets no new messages unless I first delete one message from the phone. Then all new messages are downloaded when I repeat Send/Receive. When I try, it goes through...

Server is behind a well-configured hardware firewall at the gateway, I find software firewalls redundant in that situation, and an unnecessary management hassle.

Well, I have good news and bad news. Good news is that I don't have to rebuild any servers, I've got it working. Bad news is that I wasted nearly 6 hours troubleshooting. During my troubleshooting I found that I couldn't Remote Desktop to this server, and none of the antivirus clients could...

Customer has 2 servers, both Domain Controllers in a Windows 2003 AD domain. I believe the domain is running mixed mode. One server is running Exchange. Customer rebooted servers this morning as is his Monday habit. After starting, the Information Store will not start, cannot find a Global...
