I have been trying to promote a 2012 server to a domain controller. My error is: Verification of user credential permissions failed. The wizard cannot gain access to the list of domains in the forest. This condition may be caused by a DNS lookup problem. For information about troubleshooting...

I have upgraded our domain controllers from 2003 to 2012. The DHCP used to be on the 2003 primary domain controller and as I would like to remove all the old 2003 domain controllers from the lan, I would therefore need to move the DHCP. Does the DHCP have to be located on a domain controller...

We have a new 2012 server in the box and I want to do some lab work with it before is is incorporated into our domain. I understand that 2012 does not have registry restore points any longer. What is needed to create an artificial restore point so that when I'm done practicing I can just...

This function doesn't remove drives that were mapped using vbscript. Why? # # Function RemoveMappedDrives() --> # FUNCTION RemoveMappedDrives{ # --------------------------------------------------------------------- PROCESS{ $oNet = New-Object -ComObject WScript.Network $n1...

We have a Server 2003 LAN with XP-Pro, Vista, and Win-7 workstations. Currently my login script is written using vbscript and controls drive mapping, printer mapping, and proxy server connections. We are considering a move to Server 2012 with XP-Pro, Vista, and Win-7 workstations and I have...

I have this posted on the Server 2012 Forum as well. We are considering an upgrade from Server 2003 to Server 2012 using three domain controllers with XP Pro and Win-7 Pro workstations. Currently I have a 2003 VBS login script that maps drives and printers to each workstation, and does some...

Using a Server 2012 as a domain controller only, perhaps the DHCP and DNS, what would be the advantages/disadvantages to using 32/64 bit OS? Thanks for any thoughts, Dave.

We are considering an upgrade from Server 2003 to Server 2012 using three domain controllers with XP Pro and Win-7 Pro workstations. Currently I have a 2003 VBS login script that maps drives and printers to each workstation, and does some registry stuff for the proxy server. I've noticed some...

I walked into a problem in my dentist's office yesterday and thought I would just help out to be nice. He has a lan with a workgroup, maybe a dozen XP workstations and a couple of printers. Anyway, the main printer for the lan went down and needed a new fuser - not available in town. There...

I would like to maximize Outlook 2003 from the minimized to taskbar state when a new email is received. Currently, all I can find and implement is the desktop alert message. Is this procedure possible? Thanks, David.

I would like to add a messagebox to my script to monitor current operations showing cumulative messages. ie: when each drive that is mapped an additional message is added to the existing open messagebox I have tried WScript.Echo but it is modal, same with WScript.Popup Is there a modeless...

Is there such a feature in Word 2003 that will show if a document has been modified? I am aware of the undo arrow circle being disabled if the document has not been modified and enabled when modified, however if the document was modified and saved the undo cache is not cleared and the arrow...

I am changing out some XP-Pro workstations for Windows 7 Pro workstations. The Win 7 W/S don't seem to honor the Domain policy, and I can see the login script execute but no mapping of drives and printers is taking place. What am I doing wrong? Thanks and regards, David.

We have W2003 servers and XP-Pro workstations. I have noticed that when the workstations are inactive for a period of time and are disconnected by the server, the explorer shows the UNC as Disconnected Network Drive. When the user clicks on the drive it is reconnected without a problem, but...

Good Morning, So much for the nice stuff! I have an XP Pro workstation that will intermittently fail to execute the login script administered from a Server 2003/AD Group Policy VB script. The same user can login on a different w/s, no problem. I can login as Administrator on her w/s, no...
