    Launch a TxLog backup based on DBSPI policies

    Has anyone set up OV to run a t-sql script (or stored proc) when they get the MS SQL SPI alerting on Transaction log space? Suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    How do I find all my DHCP servers

    1200, spread across the globe. We are undergoing a DHCP consolidation, and want to see what servers are still running the service, and ensure that we have consolidated to the correct degree...

    How do I find all my DHCP servers

    Is there a (simple?) way to search through my network to find all servers running the DHCP service? I have someone asking the same question for RAS as well. Any help appreciated.

    Strange Log Entry

    You may also want to check to ensure that there are no services configured to run under this "admin" account.

    printer spooler service keeps stopping on Windows 2000 Terminal server

    We have had one heck of a time getting a stable Win2K print server. Suggestions that we have tried: Moving spool folder onto another disk (besides C: or Swap) Ensure that you are not mixing modes of printer drivers (ie nt/wink and native win2k) check the versions of your hp printer drivers to...

    Dell PE4400 HD & PERC3di craziness

    Sounds to me like your 3di may be going south. We've had so many problems with 4400/3Di that Dell ended up replaceing two of the worst offenders with 4600's - probably not going to happen in your case. Some of the things that we have had to do with our 4400's to resolve disk issues: Reseat all...

    HELP!!! RAID rebuild after loss of one drive

    Hopefully you have a good backup ); -- Boot the server and when your PERC Raid controller initializes, you will see a message about CTRL-M to enter PERC BIOS. From this screen you will be able to check the status of your rebuild. You may have to force the rebuild process. What version of PERC do...

    Dell PowerEdge 4300

    Assume that you're using the (most recent, correct) PERC Driver? PERC Bios up to date? ESM up to date?

    Array Configuration Suggestions??

    You're two disks short!! I would recommend that you mirror for the OS, and create RAID5 for your Data (exchange). Maximum safety, and maximum performance. We resist any server config that has less than four disks - which at the very least gives you two mirrors.

    Single drive to RAID 1 (Dell PERC 3/DCL)

    First advice - make sure that you're running the most recent f/w and drivers!!! You didn't mention your OS, so I'll assume W2K or XP Ensure that you're also running the latest Array manager. If your box supports Hot-Swap, simply plug in another driver, and rescan the controller, from that...

    Installing Office2000 on an NT4 MF1.8 Server

    Does anyone have any gotcha's re: installing Excel2000 on an NT4TSE server with MF1.8? Stop laughing, I don't get to choose the os/product versions.

    Database Server

    For performance, ensure that you separate the OS, Data and index from each other. 3 different mirrors would be ideal if you can afford the 6 disk. At a bare minimum, 4 disks in two mirrors (one for data/os, one for index) My suggestion on DB is Oracle (if vendor supports it). There may be more...

    Word 2000 printing 3/4 pages

    Not sure if we're seeing a printer or word issue, but clients opening web-served doc's, then printing are getting only 3/4 of the page printing out. When they come back and print preview, they get exactly what printed - 3/4 page. If the change/save the doc, then print - it's fine. Any thoughts...

    Adding a Hot pluggable Drive to Dell 1600SC

    Dell will probably tell you that you need to "initiallize the drive", which means reboot-bios-initialize. So much for hot swap! We've had to do this with disk replacements as well.

    Raid Container Gone

    Check the firmware on your DRAC and ensure that you have the latest driver on the server. Those two are the most likely cause. If they are both up to date, we've seen scrambled backplanes cause this problem too.

    Dell Servers, Lose a Drive..Lose your Raid?

    We have had the exact same problem, especially with PE 4400s and PowerVault 220s. Check your firmware on Perc 3Di/DC, and firmware on the 220s to ensure that they are the latest (1.8 for 3DC and E14 for the 220s) the previous versions have known "cascading disk failure" problems. Dell...

    Project and None Project Server Database

    You can use macros in Project to access another database. This would use VBScript code to perform the required functions.

    PCI Scan

    You will need to go into the system BIOS (f2), Alt-P will get you to the second BIOS page where you can setup your boot sequences, devices, and priorities.

    Dell 1500sc Mirror

    You should always avoid software (OS) RAID whenever possible. Look into getting a PERC (PowerEdge Raid Controller) from Dell for this. Be prepared for a steady stream of driver/firmware upgrades......

    Application Timeout

    Not sure if there is anything specific to Access, but we're having problems with MS Project 2002, and when they timeout, they're locking their projects. Only the Admin can unlock them. Seems like it just "End Task"'s the app.
