I haven't tested sp2 fully enough to start pushing it out.
So far, I've put it on a non-production machine, and my work laptop. I have yet to put it on my work desktop.
I don't like nasty surprises and would be afraid to roll it out to my users until I had the opportunity to fully test it, not...
You can't configure any of the local firewall settings if they are configured in group policy..they are greyed out.
It's ok, though. I have fixed this, and I blame MS for the error.
If you look at the configuration screen using the Group Policy Managment console, it tells you to specify entire...
Yes, I know.
That isn't the issue. The issue is that the local machine firewall setting is reporting that those ports are open to "any", not just the IP addresses/subnets that I have configured in group policy.
FYI, when you configure the xp firewall to allow file and printer sharing, using...
Hi,
I have configured the sp2 firewall via group policy to allow file and printer sharing for a specified range of IP addresses.
When I log onto the local machine that I am testing this on, although the settings on the firewall for file and printer sharing are greyed out (because they are...
We only allow company issued laptops to connect to the network and there are no more running win98.(thank goodness)
I'm still trying to figure out what happens to network neighborhood if there is no Master Browser.
Anyone?
Thanks, Jim.
I did read this already, I was hoping for some articles about any "hidden" problems that have been encountered.
Looking at the date of this article (1999) I am guessing this was written about the way Native Mode is "supposed" to work.
I was just wondering if...
I am currently running in Mixed Mode, and have been for quite some time.
I have no more nt4.0 BDC's and am about to get rid of the rest of my win98 workstations.
I know, theoretically, I should change to Native Mode, but I havent been able to come up with a good reason why.
Also, we still use...
Hi,
Somehow, a system restore point got infected with a trojan.
I need to delete this system restore point.
How do I go about doing that?
It says the file that is infected is located in:
C:\system Volume Information\_restore {insert long alpha numeric string here}
Thanks,

...all machines with IP addresses in that subnet should look to the main's site DC to auth. I have been poking around in the subnet folder under sites and services. There *is* a dropdown box where you can just take a subnet and put it a different site. This would be majorly simple if it works...
...certain site's server is down, users authenticate with whichever DC nabs their request first.
I don't want this happening. I want to ensure that they do not authenticate with their local DC AND they *do* auth with my DC here.
Is this possible?
If it is, how do I accomplish this?
Thanks...
Hi,
I have a weird terminal services licensing issue.
All of a sudden, after working correctly for a year, one of my win2k pro clients has "lost" its terminal server license.
According to the license server, it was issued a temporary license which is about to expire.
I need to know...
...This functionality was deliberately removed from Windows XP. However, there is a fairly simple workaround if you have a Windows 2000 system handy:
* Copy the file %WinDir%\System32\dsfolder.dll on the Windows 2000 system to %WinDir%\System32\dsfolder.dll on the Windows XP system
* Run the...
All that shortcut does is give me a duplicate of the search option screen that I have already in XP.
Isnt there a way to get the whole directory icon /shortcut on the desktop?????
And this is a step up from Network Neighbhorhood?????I have to wonder.
Sharyn
Thanks,
That's ridiculous. Not all users are a**holes, and a lot of people don't know exactly what they are looking for which makes the search feature even more cumbersome to use.
We'll go the shortcut route! Thanks again for the info. I thought I was losing it.

Good morning,
I have a question concerning Active Directory and XP pro. I am probably missing something here really simple so forgive the dumb question.
I am running an AD enabled domain. On my win2k pro boxes, when I doubleclick on My Network Places, I get an option for Entire Network. When I...
Thanks Guys :)
Im still on cloud 9, unfortunately, one never has a ton of time to savor the victories as there always seems to be another crises waiting in the wings!
I AM going out drinking this weekend though :)

GOD BLESS THE PERSON WHO POSTED THE REGISTRY HACK IN HERE!!!!!!!!!!
Heres the deal folks...in a DESPERATE attempt to get this working, and really not wanting to either remove sp2 or install sp3, I went for the easiest thing first, the registry hack that NO ONE WAS AWARE OF, except for one lone...
