    Most recommended projects?

    Hi, I have to build a PHP / MySQL project for a business application. It will need to have different level of user management, but it's scope will be pretty small. Basically, it's resource management: user-friendly forms, statistics. I haven't found any suitable project on Sourceforge and am...

    2 dhcp servers on same network

    Hi, I see at least 2 reasons: 1/ if your client sends a DHCP request, he'll receives 1 answer per DHCP server. If he's smart, he'll drop the second and above. If he's not ... If the second or above DHCP server are stubborn, he'll resend the answer another time, ... not good 2/ Each DHCP will...

    2 dhcp servers on same network

    Hi, I strongly advise you not to put more than one DHCP server on your network. Adding more than 1 generates huge trouble, and it's usually hard to debug. Sharing IP adresses shouldn't be an issue , since you're already sharing a cable ... Why would users want to know their IP adresses...

    unable to resolve dns

    Hi sugu, Sorry I wasn't available. Yes, you found the hard part :-) Here's the procedure 1/Backup your DNS configuration. I usually copy the configuration file in the same directory with another name. Be careful to also copy file ownership rights ( `cp --preserve` under UNIX) 2/Stop the DNS...

    2 ip addresses for fault tolerance

    OK, so you're question refers only to the first website, the one that is physically at your site. If you're with "network solutions", you probably have a webtool to change your DNS. You could let DNS1 on the T1 and put DNS2 on the DSL. If DNS1 fails to answer, then requests are sent to DNS2...

    Do not see local server name. Only Domain. What happened?

    itsp is correct Also note that there are no local accounts on DCs. Check it out by going to mmc -> manage server. You'll see an "X" for local administration. This can be an issue when you demote a CD: the password you enter at the end of the procedure is the local admin password. Cheers

    Manually add this........

    Hi, check my last comment in http://www.tek-tips.com/viewthread.cfm?qid=1193814 _ldap._tcp.dc._msdcs.mydomain.com is a SRV entry that your AD needs to write in the DNS server for mydomain.com. It says to clients in your domain where to locate LDAP servers for mydomain.com ( => normally on the...

    2 ip addresses for fault tolerance

    we need further details: 1/ who hosts your domain's DNS? (if you don't know, what's your website?) 2/ where is the webserver physically located? at your office or at the bankrupt ISP? 3/ do you have a static address on the DSL line?

    unable to resolve dns

    OK, my first guess wasn't correct. It seems you haven't activated Dynamic DNS (DDNS) on your DNS servers (pridns and secdns) and that your AD fails to connect correctly to his DNS servers. Let me explain: your AD is NOT a (primary) DNS server for your domain, so he's trying to register his...

    unable to resolve dns

    jpm121, a DNS server can work without forwarders, provided it can freely access the internet. The DNS host file contains sufficient info to process queries to the DNS root servers directly. forwarders compel your DNS server to ask only a limited number of "trusted" DNS servers over the internet...

    Active Directory, Replication and Global Cataloge

    Hi, Administrator accounts differ. Have you tried including your admin account in "enterprise administrators"? "domain administrators"?

    Risks of running on one server?

    Sorry, I don't quite aggree with the last comment. At least, not if we're dealing with a server restore. - Given the architecture, if the unique server crashes where do you restore to? - Is the tape driver installed on whatever spare server you elect? It might even be hardwired into the unique...

    Routing and remote access help?

    you must "source NAT" (or "SNAT": source network address translation). I'm not sure how you do this on windows (I use Linux routers). check here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/299801/en-us The effect of SNAT is that your 192 router replaces the source IP from all routed 172 machines with it's...

    Risks of running on one server?

    A testing server will do, ... if it's removed temporarily from the testing department ;-) Now if you have "other sites" and "testing servers", you might even consider centralizing your data ,like your exchange , your SQL, maybe even your AD. It's easier to manage technically, usually cheaper...

    Windows 2000 PDC is dead! Help!

    ntdsutil is tricky and not very intuitive. A few suggestions: 1/ type "?" at every level for additionnal info, "q" to return to the previous menu 2/ Connect first to your domain by typing "connections", then "connect to server <server name>", where server name is a valid DC to whom you want to...

    Risks of running on one server?

    I had exactly the same issue last year : same age, same applications, same LAN size. If your server is coming "in a few weeks" ... that might mean that it's low priority and that the company you work for might not really know what's at stake. I wouldn't be surprised if you didn't have...

    I'm having problem transfering FSMO Roles from one DC to another?

    Hi all, I suggest you create a "scheduled task" on every CD to synchronize on some SNTP server. To do that, add the following line to a *.bat file : net time /setsntp:ntp2.usno.navy.mil .. and schedule the execution (navy.mil is reliable, but it's just an example; feel free to use any...
