We are finally upgrading our Windows 2003 server to 2008 R2. The 2003 server runs Active Directory, domain controller, printers, files, DNS, and DHCP. The 2008 server is a new box, it's not really "upgrading" the 2003 server, it's replacing it I guess you'd say. Is there a tool to copy the...

I've got Windows 7 XP Mode running, but it doesn't seem to "see" my local network. I can browse the web in the XP mode just fine, so it is "networked", but I have a server on my LAN that I want to access from my XP mode computer. My XP mode computer has a whole different IP range, it's like...

I've got two tables, one called "MWPATIENTS" and one called "MWTRN". There is a common field called "Chart Number" that is in both tables. The MWPATIENTS table has all the patient information such as full name, address, etc. I need to run a query on the MWCASE table that selects certain...

I came up with a pretty good solution for remote users (yeah, I'm sure someone else thought of it before), but I bought a powerful PC with 12GB RAM and setup five XP Virtual PC's. On each of those VPCs I installed LogMeIn, and now my remote users can access their "desktop" without worrying if...

Better change your default SNMP strings, I read on another site (and I tested for myself) that knowing the SNMP strings you can reset the password, reboot the switch, and make other changes. So if you leave them as "public" and "private", anyone can mess with your Cisco switches...

I have a Windows 2003 network with 20 XP Pro SP2 clients. Is there a tool that would show who is logged on? For example if I need to reboot or whatever, I don't want to have to go around and check or call to make sure everyone is logged off. Thanks.

I made a simple form in Frontpage that when you click "submit" it emails the information to whatever email address you put in the Form properties. I want to make it so the user can somehow select who the form gets emailed to from a list.

Anyone know if you can set a Windows 2003 Server Active Directory Group Policy to modify everyones Quick Launch bar? For example, instead of going to all the computers and adding a few certain applications to every PC's and every user on that PC's Quick Launch, I want to control what apps are...

Little background, we have a 600 user LAN and a dedicated Windows 2000 web server running IIS with FrontPage to take care of the web permissions. Does anyone have a 3rd-party application they like better to manage web permissions on a 2000 server?

I have a database of names, and want to display the employee's picture next the name. The pictures are in a folder called "images" and files are like james.jpg, betty.jpg, randall.jpg, sally.jpg, etc.. My table has basically two fields, "name" and "picture". The picture field is basically a...

Not sure if this is the correct forum.. Anyway, most web filtering programs that I know let you surf everywhere "except" for a list of sites (porn, drugs, hacking, etc). What I want to do is block "everything" by default and just allow a list of approved sites to allow my users to get to...

I'm new to VPN's, but read that Windows Server 2003 has built-in VPN features. I'm not too crazy about having Microsoft run my VPN, but has anyone used this, and how do they like it? What hardware VPN's are good for a small LAN? I'm looking at D-Link, Netgear, Linksys, etc. Any suggestions...

Hi, I'm pretty much totally new to VPN's, know the theory behind them but have never used one. I have a small office LAN (8 PC's with XP Pro) and they share a DSL connection through a D-Link router. I want to be able to access the LAN from a remote location such as my home. D-Link has a...

I'm using Minasi's "Mastering Windows Server 2003" book, setting up DNS so that I can eventually setup AD once DNS is working properly. Not sure if everyone uses the book, but Chapter 7, page 380 talks about using nslookup to test your DNS to resove names. I've set the timeout and everything...

I am pretty new to the forum, but did a search and scanned the subject lines for CEGETTER.BAT and didn't see anyone talking about it (except for the recent question I posed about it earlier). Does nobody use CEGETTER.BAT or am I the only one using it? If you don't know what it does, it is...

Hi, may be a dumb question, but here's what I'm trying to do. I am trying to get CEGETTER.BAT setup as a Scheduled Task. The Scheduled Task is only running whenever I am logged into the server as the same account as the account and password I entered for the task. I don't want to worry about...

Hi, may be a dumb question, but here's what I'm trying to do. I have a batch file that I'm trying to get setup as a Scheduled Task. The Scheduled Task is only running whenever I am logged into the server as the same account as the account and password I entered for the task. I don't want to...

OK, I'm sure this is a stupid question, but I got the SUS server software to work, synchronized the server, it download a ton of patches (English updates only), I approved a few of them, etc. Now, what do I do to tell my XP Pro clients to point to my local SUS server for updates instead of...

I work in the IT department of a very large worldwide chemical company. We currently have use no tools to detect, clean, and prevent spy/ad/malware and I've been trying to convince the corporate IT folks that this is an important issue that needs to be addressed. They told me that worrying...

Just thought I'd pass along what I use to protect my PC's from malicious computer stuff: Nortons AntiVirus Zone Alarm (free version) Ad-aware (free version) Greatly modified HOSTS file to block unwanted sites Greatly modified Restricted Zones in IE I get the HOSTS file and Restricted Zones...
