1) Goto command prompt on NT wkstn. Type: ipconfig /release Type: ipconfig /renew 2) View your TCP/IP properties. You might have some static information in there. It sounds like you may have the incorrect subnet mask declared if it can't find a DHCP server 3) The IP address is entered into...

Without using any third party s/w, is it possible to setup an NT server to trigger an alert to send a message to my desktop when a specific event number appears in the Event Viewer? In Server Manager I already have my UID and ComputerName listed in the Alerts list, but how do you create events...

Now you're talkin'. I have the access permissions down pat and working acceptably, but I also want to filter out the folder they do not have permissions to so they don't even see them and/or ask about them. It CAN be done! But it might be a difference between Novell and Microsoft (NDS vs NT4 vs...

Correct me if I'm wrong but you can't map a sahre WITHIN a share! If USERS$ = E:\Users then create a share for John as JOHN$ = E:\Users\John$. Now in UsrMgr4Dom be sure to type \\ServerName\%username%$ in the Home Directory field in the User's Profile Environment. ONLY if you populate this field...

You're on the right track but not correct. You're creating more work than is necessary. I know this is possible as I've done this in a NetWare 4.x environment, but can't figure out how to do it in NT. I'm trying to reduce the number of Shares to simplify administration and security. You're VERY...

I'm getting mixed up between ADS, NDS, and NTFS Permissions - HELP. How do you arrange share and folder permissions on an NT4 server, such that when a user views or lists the contents of a shared folder, they only see the folders they have access to? i.e. E:\Groups + ACCT...

JPG is the preferred graphic file type primarily for its compression capabilities, but people continue to insert other large graphic types, primarily from digital cameras and scanners, creating huge MS Office files. Do you know of a utility that can scan multiple files to determine if they...

I have an NT4 (SP6) server with ARCserv 6.5 installed on the 'C' drive. The DB keeps growing and I'm running out of room on my 'C' drive (boot partition). Are you aware of any "gotcha's" in moving the main DB from C drive to F drive? Registry ramifications, corrupt history, inability...

Use Outlook Express instead of that old MS Exchange client. OLExp is free with Internet Explorer. It has all the capabilities (and vulnerabilities) that you're looking for. If you always do, what you always did You'll always get, what you always got!! Be a lateral thinker! Think outside the box

Re-apply the W2K SP1 and O2K SR1&2 also check file permissions and ownership for that profile folder under C:\Documents and Settings If you always do, what you always did You'll always get, what you always got!! Be a lateral thinker! Think outside the box

I'm trying to setup meeting rooms as a resource in Exchange. It seems that this automated process is dependant on an Outlook client always being open and processing and replying to these requests. Can't Exchange server do this on its own? Have I missed something in the configuration? If you...
