Hello, does anyone know if it is possible to delegate control of an OU (that only contains printers) so that it is only possible to view properties and delete stalled jobs? I delegated control of our printers OU to the service desk and created a custom task that allowed read all properties and...

Hello all, we are migrating a number of print queues from an nt server to another off-site nt server. Most of our clients print to unc paths, eg: \\servername\printer As NT4 doesn't support aliases we're faced with the unattractive task of visiting every single PC to change the path. Is...

Hello all, I'm trying to move about 40GB of data from 2 windows nt4 servers to a netapp filer. Xcopy will not work as despite the fact the filer emulates a windows 2000 member server it cannot be accessed via 16 bit windows apps so I'm having to do a manual drag and drop. Unfortunately the...

Hello all, I'm copying user data from one of our servers to a netapp filer but am receiving a 'path too long' error. I believe this is because the path to some files is greater than 255 (260?) characters long. I truncated the name of the first couple of files that produced an error but more...

Hello, I've created a secure mmc for our help desk to administer user accounts. It works fine on 2 PCs but on the other 8 I get the following error: Snap-in failed to initialise Name:<unkown> CLSID:{E3SSE538-1C2E-11DO-8C37-00C04FD8FE93} There is a KB article on this that asks for an extra...

hello all, i've been asked to move a large amount of data from an NT4 file server on to a network attached storage device (nas). Although the nas has no windows os on it, it lives on the domain as a windows 2000 member server. The files are being moved from a domain controller so consequently...

A couple of days ago I moved a swap file from one partition to another on one of our file servers. I kept the size of the file the same. The partition I moved it from was nearly full but had a capacity of 135GB. The partition I moved it to had a capacity of 65GB about 5GB of which was free...

Hello all, as the title suggests I have a 2003 box hosting a number of print queues. These work fine and have all sorts of clients printing to them okay. However, one of our desktop support people has informed me that very often when he tries to connect a win98 pc to one of the queues and...

Hello, we have recently changed the name of a BDC on our network and moved it to a different office. It is on the network okay and has been added to the replication list on the pdc under its new name. However we have been getting 1 or 2 problems with people authenticating to it and the event...

hello, I know this isn't strictly the right forum for this but I need to do the above... I guess I would need to set the script up to modify the target PCs' registry and add a value in to whichever key deals with the all users desktop. Unfortunately scripting is not my strong point. Can...

Hello all, I'm currently supporting a small charity who have just opened a sub-office (a classroom in a hut, basically) that is not connected to their main office's LAN. In this sub-office there is a windows 2000 Pro PC acting as an internet connection sharer and a small number of XP PCs. No...

Hello everyone, I've been asked to monitor the average hourly cpu/mem/disk usage of a win 2000 server. This is a simple enough task. However I'm having difficulty in logging the information in a useful form - I've set up a counter log but the only output options for this are as a binary or...

I've been looking at a laptop which is experiencing a delay in picking up a dhcp address on boot up. It is used for dial up and network access and due to a separate problem with dial up it was set to always release its network card ip address on shutdown (via a registry hack). On start up the...

Hello, we are experiencing a problem with XP clients dialling in to replicate mail. It appeared that the problem was IP related as immediately after establishing a dial up connection and failing to replicate, we tried getting them to ping a few ip addresses which responded after about a...

Hello, I have a problem with some win 95 clients not releasing their DHCP allocated ip addresses on shutdown. We need them to do this as some users are experiencing problems with routing on subsequent RAS connections. There is a registry key -...

Hello all, we need to connect some windows servers running Lotus Notes to a SAN. Apparently SUN only support multi-pathed connections to a SAN. Does anyone know if Windows could support a multi-channel HBA to facilitate this?

Hello everybody, I have an NT4 server SP6 on which a we have a print queue for a HP deskjet 1120c. A few days ago users reported they were unable to print to it. We reinstalled the drivers and now every time I try and print a test page the print properties page appears and I get a spoolss.exe...

Other than through the NT audit?? Is there anything within Office or local registry settings??

Hello, we currently have an NT4 domain that we are looking to upgrade to 2003 AD. As the first step of this process we want to add a 2003 member server to the domain and move all of our print queues over to it. As this is several hundred printers I would be interested to know if there is a...
