I'm using a UNIX server (SCO) to RSH into a Windows 2000 workstation... I want to run a script that deletes two directories and then go to the next workstation. This is what I have now, but if for some reason the file is is use or not responding; the 'script' hangs. I'm wondering if anyone...

I've been around since the 80's; and I'm finally stumped. I've googled my ass off, and still have no clue about this one. I can't get any outgoing email working EXCEPT for Outlook. I tried using m2 and Thuderbird; and the SMTP fails. However, if I use Outlook... I have no problems. Does...

I've just started to use MMC and it seems like a brilliant tool. However, I'm totally unsure on how to "make it work". I did all of my snap-ins, and customized the MSC file, but what do I do with it? How can I get these policies onto my users workstations and make it effective? I have NT4...

I've read many threads before, and many registry settings; but none have worked. I need a way to prevent users to shutdown their PC. I even tried the WinLogon key to change it from 1 (poweroff) to 0. Nothing seems to work. I simply want the users to reboot their machine, and if they power...

I'm trying to deploy SP3 to my workstations (for Office XP), but it looks like Microsoft changed some of the switches. The "/q" is suposed to be "quiet", but in reality it's not. Does anyone know how to deploy this silently with a no reboot? I use psexec in a batch file to do this. Thanks.

I need to change the security settings within IE so that all users can "Run ActiveX controls and plugins". Only admins can change this, and it doesn't stick for each user. The only way around this, I've found, is to make the user a local admin and then change the security settings...

Here's a good one guys... I'm trying to setup the time service on about 200 workstations. I've set up one of our BDC's to be the time server. I've also changed the settings on my workstation to test the functionality. However, this is what happens. If I change the time to something...

I'm trying to run IEAK, and everytime I try to "update" anything, it crashes and closes. "ieak6wiz.exe has generated errors and will be closed by Windows. You will need to restart the program. An error log has been created." I searched MS, and they say to "delete the...

No really. For some reason, all of my text within Windows is bold. (aside from Opera) My Outlook is all in bold, as well as my icons on my desktop. I tried messing with the appearance, and that fixes the desktop iconset, but the text within email, office and other apps are bold. Weird, eh?

I'm trying to run an application that resides on a network share from scheduler. I'm not using the Windows GUI, just the at commands so I can set up remote workstations. I can easily get local apps to run, but for the life of me I can't get network apps to run. Is there a syntax I'm missing?

Currently we have a handful (about 50) of users still running Office 2000 and want to upgrade them to XP. I don't use SMS and really don't want to have to create a package with SD. Has anyone had success installing this over a network? I've read some articles regarding setting up an...

If you read my thread below, I had to reinstall XP. All was well, and I rebooted and now my CD-R is gone (Plextor 48/24/48). It's in the BIOS though (Secondary IDE - Master). Any ideas on how to get it back? I've tried removing and adding it.. etc.

I've had this error message occur consistantly over the last month: The file C:\windows\system32\c_1252.nls is missing or corrupt I've done a repair twice by changing the name of the file and copying a fresh one, and I've even reinstalled the OS twice. XP Pro will work for sometime (a day or...

I use Outlook 2002 in a corporate environment. Aside from my primary account, I check an addtional mailbox. Does anyone know how to have rules applied to the secondary mailbox? It seems as though the rules only apply to the primary account. Thanks.

Here's a brief breakdown of my network: Servers - (4) Windows NT 4 w/ all SP's and patches Workstations - (150) Windows 2000 Pro all patches minus SP4 (hasn't been approved) Switch - (1) Cisco 5500 w/ no VLAN Routers - (2) Cisco 3700's Domain controllers - We have one BDC and three file...

I've searched Google and the forums back to front, but the end result doesn't work. I have a top frame (header.htm) and the bottom frame is created with a java applet; which brings up a third-party website. What I'd like to do is be able to create a "print" button to print both...

I recently upgraded from Exchange 5 to Outlook 2000. In Excel/Word/Access, I have a "Send to: Mail Receipient" but not a "Send to: Mail Receipient (as attachment)" option. So, when I send a spreadsheet/document it comes over as text and NOT an attachment. Anyone know a way...

Have a problem folks, maybe someone can shed some light on. We currently run MS Exchange 5 on an NT4 platform. Our HQ has pushed all of the newest IE updates on our system, and thus pushed Outlook as well. (via Unicenter) Many of our users are experiencing "Send To" errors, and it...

I'm a programmer turned IT Manager, and I'm in charge of setting up barebone PC's and equip them with our software, etc... I'm not too familiar with Ghost, but does anyone suggest any other product that is better? Or, should I just bite the bullet and learn the ropes with it? I'd basically...
