    Copy directories (+ contents) with WILDCARDS in source dir name

    Robocopy, XCOPY and all that stuff apparently refuse to accept wildcards in the source directory. I am looking for a way to copy entire directories, of which the names start with a certain pattern. This implies the use of a wildcard. e.g. Robocopy d:\data\ABC* d:\test\ /s The idea being that...

    Custom ADM template and registry-based GPO

    My basic problem is I want to disable the XP-nag "Windows XP Tour". The corresponding registry key would be: HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Applets\Tour However, when specifying this as KEYNAME in a ADM-file, adding the template to a policy, will create new category Nuisances...

    Folder Redirection GPO runs before script has ended.

    I have 2 GPO's in the same OU. One general GPO has a LOGON-script, that is supposed to create a homedirectory if it doesn't exist yet. The problem is that the second GPO that takes care of Folder Redirection (My Documents and Application Data) is running and completed way BEFORE the script has...

    Roaming profiles with different PC configuration types.

    When a given user with a (mandatory) roaming profile has to access Windows 2K Professional workstations with different software configurations (on a domain with W2003server with AD), how can I make sure that the applications loaded on that particular PC are available to this user ? I suppose it...

    dsadd user and HOMEDIRS

    when creating users using the command dsadd user, you can specify an optional switch -hmdir followed by the UNC to the homedirectory. My question is: Is this also supposed to ACTUALLY CREATE the home directory for the user, setting up the security and everything ? I have the impression that...

    I am using NT4-style mandatory profiles (in addition to GPO's). My problem is that the existing profiles have been created with security set for a given global group each.

    I installed a network bridge on the 2 network adapters in my remote Server 2003. One adapter is a wireless LAN adapter through which the server connects to the Access Point (a wireless switch/router), to which the remainder of the network is connected (as well as the internet). The other adapter...

    Allocate default network printer through GPO

    I would like to allocate a default network printer through a GPO, but on computer-level. On user-level this is easy to accomplish through the use of a logon script, and using the good old nt4-command CON2PRT.EXE... However, as my users may work on different machines, in different offices, they...

    "Monitor always on" via Group Policy

    I'm getting nuts of this default 20 minutes monitor off, included in the Win2K Pro power scheme "Always on". So I would like to issue a group policy overwriting this 20 minutes into "Always on" (value 3). Question is: Is this Monitor-always-on feature (which is actually a...

    On our Windows Server 2003, acting also as print server, I installed amongst others the HP LaserJet 2100 PCL6. The driver that is natively installed is not working for NT4 workstations, so using the Sharing tab, I want to provide Additional drivers. However when checking the "x86 Windows...

    First opening of IE6 is extremely slow.

    Since I installed ZoneAlarm, after starting my PC with Windows2000, and upon first opening of Internet Explorer 6 SP1, it takes ages (OK, several minutes then...) before I actually see my home page popping up. ZA does not ask me any question to allow some specific connection. Any subsequent...

And I...
