Hi, First of all let me apologise if I'm in the wrong place and for the naivity of my question, I'm new to SQL queries etc, so please do point me in the right direction of the correct forum if this isn't right. Basically, a product we use stores records into a field in the format 12345-12345...

Hi all, It's been a while since I've used Group Policies and I thought what I wanted to do was simple enough, however it doesn't seem to be working and I can't figure out why, which is now confusing me even more!! Basically, I want to install a piece of software via a policy to a specific...

OK, just come across this issue and wondered if anyone had any ideas. We've just set up a smal training LAN at work, I've set up a domain controller (W2k3) and configured each client (WXP) correctly. Each client is connection to the LAN via a wireless connection. Now when a new user tries to...

Hi I've created a RIS image, installed my software and then ran RiPrep, created my full image and then installed it to several PCs (all of same spec)the image seems to have installed OK but then XP reboots and then complains of a missing or corrupt PCI.sys file. I've seen posts of this as a...

Hi I've created a flat RIS image, installed it from PXE boot to a workstation, added all my software, riprep'd a new image and set it up in AD. When I boot another workstation up to PXE, it gets a DHCP address, I press F12 but then I cannot see the image I want to install (only the original...

Hi all, I wasn't sure if this forum or Outlook was the best place for this but here goes. Basically, we have set Exchange up to archive a copy of each email into a Public Folder. The folder is now around 3Gb in size and everytime I try to access it within Outlook it crashes. I cannot...

Hi there, Having renewed our grants etc and waited patiently for new McAfee products to come out I'd like to start the New Year off by updating EPO, GroupShield and VirusScan. I am looking at installing EPO 3.5 to a new server rather than update EPO 3.0 on an existing server to which I don't...

We encountered a problem this morning whereby all my users who print to Xerox 545 printers couldn't print, the jobs were queuing on the W2k server but didn't seem to be released by the print server or spooler. Strangely, users who were printing to other printers (HP, Sharp) had no problems and...

We have two W2k servers setup within a cluster with the 2nd server (Node2) running fileprint resources. Within the event viewer I can see a number of warnings that offline caching of shares shouldn't be set up within a cluster environment. I have therefore gone into the sharing tab on a...

Hi I've created a CD image (XP SP2) and pushed it out to a laptop via RIS. I then installed some software, etc and ran riprep. Everything has been copied to the remoteinstall folder on the RIS server but I cannot see this new image in Active Directory. Any ideas as I can't seem to find...

Hi there I created an XP SP2 image and managed to install that to a laptop via PXE and RIS (W2k3 Server). This worked perfectly. I installed all the latest drivers, all the software I wanted etc etc and then ran RIPREP to create an image back to the RIS server. The laptop then rebooted and a...

My firm will shortly be going through a rebranding exercise from which it is likely that we will be changing our standard font. At present we have over a thousand word documents that are used as templates to generate letters. I know hardly anything about scripting, VBA or otherwise but...

I have bought a number of laptops I would like to set up using RIS. I've created the image, set up RIS on a W2k3 server and am now looking at pre-staging the laptops. Firstly, I'm struggling to find out the GUID, so may use unknow GUID pre-installation. Secondly and more important I am not...

Can I still use RIS if the workstations we purchase come pre-installed with the vendor's flavour of the OS ? I'm thinking we could create the image and then run it from a PXE boot or floppy boot before the vendors pre-installed software kicks in. Is this possible? Legal? I'm fed up of having...

I've done everything I can think of, looked through loads of forums and googled for hours but I cannot find a solution to my problem. A few weeks ago I noticed I could no longer access shared drives on an XP workstation in my 2k domain. I investigated a found I couldn't even get the...

After installing the latest Cisco VPN client to a WXP Pro laptop I could not browse or collect my email. After investigating further I noted that I could not ping or tracert any external IP address. I have checked via 'ipconfig /all' settings for the connections and all appears OK. I can...
