    When is 70-270 being discontinued?

    I just passed it and thought I did so in the nick of time. I'm not seeing any other documentation online to mention that this is indeed the case. I think I may have given someone else a heart attack for no reason. The information I thought I remembered correctly said that the XP exam was being...

    Installing Distributed File System

    Ok, so I'm trying to install Distributed File System. The instructions say it's gotta go on domain controllers. Fair enough, got a domain controller here and at the remote location. So, both domain controllers are Server 2003, version 5.2.3790. But of course, that doesn't mean anything, no sir...

    Is there any way to safeguard icon positioning on the desktop?

    I use a 3 monitor setup at work. I keep groups of icons on each of the three screens, corresponding with the different tasks I have to keep up with. Unfortunately, every time desktop is resized, the icon positions are changed and remain so. This is bad enough on my laptop when swapping between...

    Stupid admin tricks: applied restrictive user policy to administrator

    I can truthfully say I wasn't the one who did it, it was the other guy. :) We've been kicking around some more restrictive user policies for our terminal server users. The last time we both looked at it, we were happy with how things were locked down. The other tech was in yesterday working at...

    Exchange didn't used to take forever to backup

    Exchange 2003, Backup Exec 10d. It used to take around 12 hours to backup 100+ gigs. The current job is running for 21 hours, 94gb, and is 68% done. If I did my math right, and it's early and I'm only on my first cuppa, that means this job is going to run for 30 hours and 138gb. I've seen...

    How is media labeling supposed to work?

    We have a 10 tape exabyte library running against Backup Exec 10d. The tapes are labeled according to the slot they will be in, #1, #2, etc. I import the tapes and manually label them how I would like them to appear. When I run the backup jobs, sometimes they are relabeled with a new label. It...

    Sort Ascending after Sort Specified, Group Expert Woes!!

    I have a report that displays customers and their selected options. From the returned data set, the first grouping I do is by the client name. That works out fine. After that, I'm listing the options they selected for their purchase. The options are either structural or non-structural. I am...

    Is there a size limit to parameter dropdown boxes?

    I have a report that's been running fine for a while but users are now encountering problems. When they run the report they get one parameter field where they select the cleintID from a dropdown list. Once they submit that value, a report generates with data from that client. There are...

    VSS Shadow Copy and 16k clusters

    http://www.tek-tips.com/viewthread.cfm?qid=1155120 Primate raised an interesting question here. I don't have any means of asking him if he got an answer so I'll just post another thread on the topic and reference his post. He's asking the same questions I am. :)

    Limit number of concurrent jobs

    Is there any way to limit the number of concurrent jobs running? For example, say I only want a maximum of two jobs running and if a third one is scheduled to start during that time, it would be bumped until one of the running jobs is complete. I don't see any feature like that in there...

    Exclude Folders on Drive from being Shadow Copied

    http://www.tek-tips.com/viewthread.cfm?qid=1291297&page=1 This is another question that stems from my previous thread. I would like to exclude certain directories from getting shadow copied on a given volume. Unless I am misunderstanding things, though, it looks like I am unable to do that...

    Losing Shadow Copies

    I'm just getting started with Shadow Copies on our servers. For once, it appears Microsoft might have actually made an improvement. Then again, I'm posting about a problem I'm having with it so maybe they haven't gotten it right just yet. I have two servers here, call 'em A and B. One is...

    Diffs larger than fulls?

    Using version 10. I'm backing up our public file store. There's 152gb of actively used files there. The "churn" should be about 2 to 10 GB a day. By "churn" I mean files that are modified and thus need backed up. We grow by maybe 100mb a day, sometimes in the GB if a lot of new files are added...

    Exchange Server, diffs and fulls, both hugemongous

    My exchange full currently runs 111gb. My exchange diff (still running from last night) is 85gb. This is a backup to disk, no less, very very slow! (13 hours and counting.) Should the diffs really be this huge? As it was explained to me, every time the mailboxes get touched the timestamps are...

    Good resource for figuring out permissions?

    Microsoft's resources can be a bit crappy for figuring this out. By looking at the interface, I see how things should work but it's obvious that I'm not seeing how they do work. Any pointers to good resource sites would be appreciated. Thanks!

    Grouping Arrogantly Defies Me

    I have my sections configured to "keep together" but I'm getting orphaned lines -- the section header ends up on a different page from the rest of the test. I would rather have an early page break than see things separated improperly. What's the secret? Thanks!
