    How to stop/restart a workstation serivce using NAL

    I am implementing a SUS server for our 1700 workstations. It's the company standard. I've been using ZEN/Nal for awhile, I'm currently using ZEN 4. I've figured out the registry hacks for SUS, but when I blow this down to the client I first have to stop a service (wuauserv) and then restart it...

    NT4 domain to XP pro workstation question

    I have an NT4 domain, with NT4, W2K and 3 W2K3 member servers. I got in a new shipment of desktop pc's and they have XP pro on them. I configured them the way we normally do. Loaded necessary software and all was well. Last step, I went to manage the local pc, we make a particular NT domain...

    New to the desktop support job

    Greetings! I'm Scott, new to desktop support in my work. I have 155 pc's with XP to roll out. I'd like users to be only users, not local admins, but I need Outlook 2000, Office (probably 2000) and some other programs to work. I also didn't realize if I install a printer as an admin, the user...

    Event ID 1160

    I have a fairly large exchange box (600+ users and over 7 gig of database). My problem is "a number of users" (myself included) opened outlook this morning, clicked on the inbox and it was grayed out. Clicked on the Outlook today bar and back to the inbox and it seems to work. I sync...

    Ghosted from Dell C610 to C640

    I ghosted (using tcp/ip) from one laptop to another and things seem to work. However, the mouse freezes or stops moving sometimes and the audio keeps cutting in/out. Any Ideas? "It's not that I do my best work under pressure, it's that I ONLY work under pressure!"

    Misrepresented amount of RAM

    I have installed 2003 Enterprise on a Compaq (HP) DL 380 with 6 Gig of RAM. BIOS counts 6 Gig. W2K3 loads and runs, but my problem is when you click on (goto) My Computer and look at the "general" info tab, it only show 3.75 Gig. Has anyone else seen this? If this is a "bug&quot...

    How do I start using Wise and what Suite do I d/l?

    I'm a network engineer by trade (started with DOS) and have never really done any "programming". I can write a pretty mean batch file, but it's just simple stuff. Anyway, Windows is obviously here to stay... so I've been reading about using an installer to assist me in application...

    Citrix and DNS

    Hey, We are having some weird issues with Citrix and I'm wondering if it's the fact that we radically changed our DNS. How much does DNS play in the Citrix factor? If my farm is named FRED_FARM, does FRED_FARM have to have a DNS entry? and if my farm is 8 servers, which ip address do I use for...

    Session Quits right after I start it

    We are using Citrix XP on top of W2K servers. All has seemed well, but this has reared it's ugly head. We've published applications and desktops. Any user (including admins) log in no matter what server, it logs you in, doesn't start the application, then logs you out. It doesn't seem to happen...

    A .adm or a policy to turn on a screen saver

    Greetings. I'm moving from ZFD3.2 to ZFD4. and I'm having a terrible time with wanting to push a policy (reg hack) to turn on a screen saver at all the desktops. It's for WIndows 9x, NT, 2000 and XP. I've looked through (I think) all the .adm files and even looked at some old ones, but I can't...

    Public Folders and Forms

    Salutations to all. I have 3 exchange servers (5.5, much larger corporate group though) and originally we had public folders turned off. We've decided to make public folders do things like send emails to a particular id that automatically generates a held desk ticket. I've been reading the 5.5...

    Unable to ping Exchange by name vice IP, Win98

    Help! I can attach to the network, ping any address, but when I try to send a message, no luck. I can't ping the name of the exchange server. I've put the names/ips in the lmhosts file, but no joy. I'm using Win98, I did get it to work using w2k, by importing the lmhosts file. Does 98 do that...

    OWA User cannot access Inbox

    I'm moving users from ccmail to Exchange 5.5. The actual migration seems to go fairly well. (except for the fact that I have to bounce the PDC and BDC's when user get the "you don't have permission to logon") Anyway, the OWA problem. I moved a user. "Marie Smith-Jones" is...

    Want to reghack/turn off PreviewPane in Out2000

    I am migrating about 1500 users from ccmail to Exchange/outlook 2000. I've gotten a copy of the default.prf file, and downloaded the Office 2000 resource kit, but haven't had any luck in permanently killing the preview pane or the dreaded "14" day autoarchive. I only allow 50 meg per...

    restoring files seems to corrupt them

    I have a W2K server, running Arcserve 2000 attached to a Cybernetics tape drive. It backups NT - Novell (4.2) and some W2K boxes. And uses the appropiate agents plus open file agent. Here's the deal. I do a backup. All seems well. It does skip some files, but I'm not worried about that. It does...

    PST vs OST and how

    Greetings to All! I have an Exchange 5.5 server running on W2K. I'm using Outlook 2000 sr-1 on desktops and laptops. The desktop thing I'm pretty set with, the laptop thing is killing me. I'm trying to get it so a laptop user can plug into the network, get their mail and it works. Once they...

    I have a training exchange server. It's W2K with EXCH 5.5. I've been reading articles about defragging databases and decided to try it out. I ran "eseutil /d /ds /td:\exchsrvr\dbbackup" it seemed to run fine. I tried to restart the exchange services and it doesn't work. I rebooted the...

    As my name implies, I'm new to this. I have a Windows 2000 server (Compaq ml530) with Exchange 5.5 with sp-4. It has dual power supplies. It seems to be fine, except in the event log. I'll look and for no reason, and not a specified times I'll get the red x error. "The previous system...

    Long Story, but here's the short version. I'm an adult boy scout leader. I already have a program for tracking the youth and their advancements. I'm also a member of the boy scout "honor campers" called Order of the Arrow. (see, I said long story). I'm NOT a programmer by trade, I'm...
