    Group Policy - copy/install folder of URLs into Start Menu

    I have a folder with three URLs. I want to add them to the Start Menu of several department computers. I can't seem to find the right place in Group Policy Management. The few times I can get close, it opens into a new Windows Explorer window and even that only works when I save the folder into...

    Need to access separate raid partition after Windows rebuild

    I've had to reinstall Windows after an OS crash. Windows is on its own 2-drive mirrored set. There is another set of 10 drives (Raid5) whose data "I assumed" would still be available after the OS reinstall. However, in Windows Disk Manager they are showing as unallocated with the correct amount...

    Active Directory password change

    We've not yet moved to a defined password policy...basically stayed with the default options. I want to force my users to change every 180 days without having the entire domain change on the same day. I tested that option this morning with the default domain policy and quickly discovered that...

    Password Policy per OU revisited

    Been checking around and found some older posts concerning Windows 2003 AD and password policies. Is there any chance that a 2003 AD (not 2008 AD) can now have varying password policies per OU? Was hoping for some service pack, revision upgrade, etc... to 2003 that has overcome the limitation to...

    Outbound random traffic - source port increments by 1

    I saw a thread here dated about 4 weeks ago and it sounds like I am having similar issues. I wonder if something new is making the rounds... I've got PCs randomly polling the web; for example, starting at source port 1500 and the destination port of 80. The next traffic attempts 1501, then...

    NSLOOKUP appends rr.com domain

    Seems this is reported throughout the web for domain PCs but I've not found anything for "at home" laptops. I have one connected to a standard RoadRunner router. Two days ago, IE stopped finding websites. Running NSLOOKUP returns something similar to this: C:\>nslookup www.cnn.com Server...

    Cannot edit 2003 table (mdw) when moved to a network folder

    My user is getting the "you do not have the permissions" error after he creates the mdw security on the network folder. The database opens fine but he cannot edit. He had originally created this database on his "personal" network share and everything works. I then had him copy the files to the...

    Too many POE possible?

    I had a situation this morning where I needed to temporarily add wireless to a classroom. I used a 3Com 8760 (POE) and configured it and the Cisco switch port with VLAN and all seemed ok. Within 15 minutes, two Proxim 4000's (also POE) connected to the same switch began to shutdown and restart...

    Micros WS4 wireless problem

    I need to add a secure SSID and WEP key to the OS. The Cisco screen allows me to add them both and the WS4 connects fine to the wireless. However, if the WS4 is powered down, the SSID/WEP settings are not saved and I have to repeat the process. This routine happens each time the WS4 loses power...

    Administrative install - Outlook

    I have a need to create an administrative install of Outlook 2003 (part of a migration to 2007 by the way). I run through the steps of setup /a, enter the key and accept the agreement. I then run the Custom Install Wizard and point it to the admin install on the server. On step 7 of 24, it...

    Extra backslashes when message delivered

    Any of you folks ever seen this behavior...I send a link in an Outlook 2003 message pointing to \\servername\folder\file and the recipient gets "doubled" backslashes (\\\\servername\\folder\\file). Obviously the link doesn't work. Any clues? Deon Cranford

    Excel inside of a VB.net app

    Is it possible to have a form; tabbed I guess, that has a control(s) so that exe's could be run inside of? I've searched for this but not knowing the exact keywords, controls, or commands I'm coming up blank. To keep it simple, if it's possible, I'd like to create an app that will open two...

    Sendkeys to Webpage

    Is there a problem with sending keystrokes to a webpage through sendkeys? I have a couple of intranet applications that I was going to write a small vb 2003 app to "autologon"; if you will, with username and password. I didn't expect it to be too much of an issue but both apps seem to be...

    Limit Textbox Entries - VB.Net2003

    I want to limit entries into a textbox to STANDARD, RUSH, and SUPER This version of VB.net does have a mask property for textboxes (and maybe mask is not what I'm looking for). It would make sense that once the user pressed the 'R', that RUSH would fill into the box as well as the ST or SU...

    Textbox input to a web page

    Is it possible to have a web page with a textbox that a user could type into and have a particular web page appear? Using cities as an example, I'd want the user to be able to type Chicago and when the Submit button is clicked, it would open chicago.htm. Likewise, Cleveland or Cincinnati would...

    Permissions on Windows folder

    I have software installs failing because files are needed to be added into the C:\Windows folder. Once I discovered the problem, I tried a manual fix (logged on as an administrator account) by inserting a new file into the Windows folder. I can't do it. I may the last person in the world to...

    File Upload and ASP

    Seems like I've run into two problems today...after I posted the question about the entire file path, I continued on and added code into the top of the htm file to validate username/password; then renamed the file from htm to an asp extension. Now the files do not upload and no confirmation page...

    Upload Confirmation Page - Full Path

    Is there a method to eliminate the full path of the uploaded file from displaying on the confirmation page (aside from removing the form field variable that is)? Seems a bit reckless to secure web pages and folders then have the entire path available for all to see. Any suggestions? Thanks Deon

    FTP Upload files (not publishing)

    Just found out today that the server hosting our website is Unix and the extensions they are using do not support the File Upload component. So I cannot use the Browse and Submit features FP allows. Now I guess I'm back to FTP 101. Is there any other method using FP, aside from the component...
