I just went through one of those weekends that every systems administrator dreads -- a server disaster that has no explanation. We are a small domain -- eight subnets, three controllers, about 100 clients. We're W2K all around on our servers and our primary master also functions as our exchange...

Does anyone know of a way to organize the stuff in the users folder of AD? I've got all these users, preconfigured security groups, created security groups, distribution groups, etc. in there and it's a mess trying to scroll down this huge list to find anything. However, there doesn't seem to be...

Got a problem that's driving me bonkers. Got a file server that's sitting on a different subnet that my main DC and firewall. I'd like to turn this file server into a DC to help with login traffic. However, when I run DCPROMO I'm running into a problem. I get all the way through, to the point to...

Not sure if this should be on the Windows 2000 board or here. We're getting the following error message a lot in the application log of our firewall server that's running W2K and ISA: Event Type: Error Event Source: SmtpEvt Event Category: None Event ID: 17220 Date: 6/20/2002 Time: 12:42:31 PM...

I've been reading several threads in this forum about people having problems with DNS when they have an internal company domain (company.com) that matches their external web domain hosted by an outside provider (www.company.com). Most of the time, the suggestion is made to add a www record in...

I've got two Dell Servers, one a desktop, one a rack server, both running W2K Server. With a few days of each other, each got the following popup message: The controller battery needs reconditioning. The following message was in the system event log: Event Type: Information Event Source...

Running a Windows 2K network over a frame relay with nine subnets. Have a server on a seperate subnet from the main DC that I want to promote to a DC to handle logins for that subnet. However, I get as far in DCPROMO as the screen where you specify what domain you want the DC to be a part of. It...

Got a problem with my routers that I don't know if I'll get answered because my manufacturer (NX Networks) went belly up and sold out. This looked like as good as any place to put it. Forgive me, but I'm a bit desperate. Here's my scenario: We have an internal network with nine Open Route...

I am at my wit's end as to how to solve a recurring problem we have here and I'm hoping someone can help!! Here's our environment -- WAN on a fractional T1, 2 W2k Server DCs, seven subnets, mix of W2K Pro, W98 and W95 clients. Up until three months ago, we were an NT 4.0 environment. Up until...

Got a problem with roaming profiles that I would like to be able to get some help on. We have a W2K DC, one-domain setup, and we have a mixed bag of W95, W98 and W2K Pro clients. All we really want profiles to do is to configure e-mail access within Outlook, so that every time someone logs in...

Posted this problem to the Exchange thread last week, but it turns out this is where it needs to be. We have ISA sitting on a separate server in front of our DC/Exchange server. We were having problems with users in the same domain but on a different subnet than the DC being able to access the...

Having a really weird situation that I need some help on. We have a W2K server system, which is a DC that we're also running Exchange 2K on. Most of our Outlook clients are fine, but we have a few that are experiencing some strange difficulties. These clients can authenticate to the network...

Got a project that my boss has given me that's causing me a huge headache. We are running Exchange 2000 on top of Windows Server 2000, with a mix of Outlook 97/98/2000 at the client level. My boss would like for every e-mail, whether internal or external, to be appended with a tag line that says...

We are about to migrate from a custom system for our PDC/mailserver to a Dell 2550. The decision has pretty much been made, but I just wanted to get the opinions of anymore out there right now who is using Dell servers. How does the 2550 perform? Any issues I would need to know about as an...

Got a problem with an application that we're running on our server that has me stumped. It's an NT 4.0 box that's also our PDC. The application is a proprietary Human Resources database uses COBOL as the underlying code (yes, I know, I know, but it was purchased WAY before I ever got here and...

Have been getting this information message in the system event log of my NT 4.0 PDC for a while now, but it wasn't a big problem (plus I've had more pressing concerns), so I've ignored it. However, last night, I had literally hundreds of these messages in the log, at least two to three times a...

Got a problem with a Win 98 machine that's driving me crazy. I can't fix it and the folks who have the warranty are stumped, too. It's a Celeron 466 machine with a 4GB HD and 64 MB RAM. The motherboard is a Gigabyte GA-6VMML and the computer is connected to our network with TCP/IP. Every...

One of the users here at my company has an error crop up occasionally that I can't explain/trouble shoot. Our server is running Windows NT 4.0/Exchange 5.0 and the client machine is Windows 95. Every once in a while in Outlook 98, if the user tries to access a Word attachment in a message, they...

I have a Dell Inspiron 2500 laptop with Windows 2000 Pro, Celeron 800 processor, 128 MB of RAM. At different times, but mostly at shutdown, I will get a blue screen with the following message: STOP: 0x0000009F (0x00000100,0xFCE97240,0xFCE97240,0xFCDCDED0) DRIVER_POWER_STATE_FAILURE Beginning...
