The new library at our university has full wireless coverage and 24 circulating laptops with internal wireless cards. Problem: we have a Windows 2000 domain which requires logon. We were hoping that by turning WEP off on the access points in the library, the computers would be able to hop onto...

A client asked me how to do something that some of her co-workers at another office have done in some of their spreadsheets. I couldn't tell how, but it sounds incredibly handy, so I'd love to know! She suggested that there's a way to set the left-most column (or group of columns) as "static,"...

Anybody had any luck getting SUS to work for power users? We don't make our users admins here, but we can't seem to get SUS to work unless we do. Would really appreciate any help!! NickC---

We're running Altiris Deploy Server on a Windows XP Pro desktop. It was running fine until we had to shutdown the computer and restart it. Ever since then we've had problems. The chief clue we have is that the "pxe config service" is starting automatically but then stopping unexpectedly...

A long time ago, when we first set up our Windows 2000 Active Directory, I made some preference mode configurations in the internet explorer maintenance group policy. Whenever I go in to modify those settings now, though, the policy editor performs a small crash. That is, when I get to the...

We're looking at customizing some forms in Altiris, particularly the New Ticket input form on the My Help Desk interface. The programming language used here doesn't seem to be straight HTML. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

All, Just trying to clean up our network a little bit, and I discovered through my sniffer that many (most? all?) of the machines on my VLAN (and I assume the others on the network...) regularly send out NetBIOS Datagram broadcasts. We don't do anything with NetBIOS, but we're a Windows 2000 /...

My institution runs Microsoft Exchange for e-mail. We recently setup Outlook 2000 on a client's laptop, something we've done hundreds of times before with no problem. Initially, for some reason, her Outlook was running the internet connection wizard, which does us no good because it doesn't...

I'm trying to diagnose some network connections, and one of the things I'm looking at is whether we're actually connecting at full duplex. I thought I'd hit the jackpot when my new Fluke was only showing a half-duplex connection (while still showing full or half capable on the switch), but then...

All, We've started having a problem with GPO's in our Windows 2000 environment. We have three domain controllers set up and two sites, separated by a WAN. Here's the problem: When we edit a GPO, e.g. to apply a new script or to change the contents of a script, for computers in Site B, the...

We use a lot of Remote Desktop or Terminal Services sessions to connect to our various servers, and without exception, no matter how cleanly we go through the log off process, the session is not fully logged off. It doesn't take long for the connections to exceed the number allowed for each...

I've scanned and seen a whole lot of traffic around here about this, but nothing that quite gets at what I'm looking for, so here's hoping... :) I work in the IT department at private college and we're just now starting to get bombarded with the sort of NET SEND spam that's been flooding some...

Hello! I work in the IS department of a university, and we're having some problems with an instructional computer lab that's used by the computer science department. The students are just savvy enough to have figured out how to disrupt their class time by sending console messages to the PC the...

All, We've had a heck of a time with scripted printer installs. Worked beautifully for a long time, but now we get some weird errors when we run them off a machine startup script. So... I figured I could save us some trouble by doing one-time shots from the command line, using the following...

All, We've been running a Windows 2000 domain for some time now, and haven't had any problems having users logon to their AD user accounts on '98 clients. Suddenly, as of this morning, none of the '98 machines are can authenticate users against the Windows 2000 domain. Microsoft Client simply...

All, Just put a fresh Windows 2000 image on a PC that had had Windows 95. It hadn't any any I/O device issues previously, as far as the uder had reported to us. But now, when the PC boots the keyboard is fully functional for manipulating the CMOS or if I boot to a command prompt from a floppy...

All, We have a network with Windows 2000 servers and primarily Windows 2000 clients. Network print queues are currently housed on a server called ACADDC3 and are about to be moved to a newer server called ACADSRV3. In the mean time, to try and smooth the transition, we've created a second DNS...

All, Strange situation... We have a public lab at the university where I work where most of the students access the internet and LAN applications, etc... In order to make sure that everything is correct for the students when they logon -- untill a couple of weeks ago we were on a 10MB...

Running into a pretty major problem right now. We have a lot of PC's on our campus on which we have installed MS Office 2000 (also running Windows 2000), using a MSI and a MST from an administrative install point. We thought everything was fine until we did this upgrade for a user that does a...

Hello, all... Our Win2K network goes across a WAN. There's server hosting the AD and acting as mirrored DC at each of our two locations. Our policies at my locatin still come from across the WAN, however. When I ping the server from which the policies are coming I get times of 10ms -- 30ms...
