I'm looking to add a really fast file server to our 2003 network. We have 5 users using 3D CAD (SolidWorks) who are typically opening several hundred files at a time (up to 2GB total). What I would like is for it to be as quick opening those files if they are across the network to being on...

Can anyone tell me if waht I'm experiencing with the Volume Shadow Service is normal please. I have set up VSS to provide shadow copies twice a day on our file server. When I look in properties of a folder I see about 9 previous versions spanning the last 4 or 5 days, regardless of whether any...

Call me old-fashioned but if I buy a 6-port card I expect it to have 6 usable ports, not 5 on the back an one internal of which you select to use either all 5 on the back or 4 on the back plus the internal. For my money I make that a 5-port card. Someone wants reminding of what Adaptec once...

We backup 18GB of data each day to a removable hard drive, using Robocopy (actually 2 in rotation). These are USB2 devices on an XP workstation attached to the network. The files themselves are copied from a W2K3 file server. I am worried that the drives are taken off-site (good) by a...

When I log on to my network at a workstation I want a login batch file to run, which it does. But when I log in at a DC, using the same name, I would like to prevent the batch file from running (because it creates unwanted mapped drives). Is this possible? I'm sure it's really obvious but I...

We have two AD integrated DCs one of which (ServerA, the PDC emulator) also acts as file server, handling 17GB of user files. Both machines run Windows 2003 Server. I set up a domain root (called DATA) on ServerA and used a spare 5GB volume (drive E:) to host the root. The data itself is in 4...

I'm trying to clean up my system event log. An event which keeps on recurring is a printer in someone's bedroom (!) keeps getting set, then created and then unpublished - all this within 1 second of each other! How can I prevent this happening?

Has anyone out there actually succeeded in using a Linksys WAG54G in their home to connect to their office network using PPTP? I can connect using dial-up and access the server just like being at work (!). BUT using the broadband router it just connects but I cannot view any shares for example...

I have a small windows 2003 network with all internal clients and 2 DCs on a backbone / hub network layout. The servers only have one NIC each. We have a router just plugged into one of the hubs (ZyXel 652) which appears not to allow PPTP passthrough - just get the 721 error. I think I have...

I'm just in the process of setting up remote access to our existing small network. Much of what I've read suggests you need a dedicated VPN server with 2 NICs, one of which is connected to the Internet and the other to the LAN. Is it possible, however, to just have the server on a fixed...

This is really strange. I use a listbox to show an error log on a FIFO basis. The listbox is limited to 300 items by testing Listcount each time and removing the earliest item if necessary: With mListBox .AddItem LogItem If .ListCount > 300 Then .RemoveItem 0 End With This works fine...

Is it possible to pass a reference to a timer from a form (where the timer must be) to instantiated objects of a class? The idea is that when the timer event fires, each object will also receive the event and act upon it autonomously.

I find the shape control useful for drawing circles and squares but I want an arrow! What's the best way of doing this? I want just an arrow on a transparent background which mustn't occlude other adjacent controls. Ideally I'd like to be able to vary the fill colour at run-time!

Is there anyone else out there still using v 6.0 of the eVision suite of image processing software? The ActiveX controls which generally work well with VB6 cause a serious memory leak which is rectified in v 6.1. Just found out yesterday - thought I'd share it with anyone who might stumble...

Hi everyone! I need to do two searches on an Excel spreadsheet from a different VB6 application. I first check if a barcode has already been entered. If not I then look for the next blank row so I can enter the data there. Having established an object relating to the Excel app and the...
