    Replacing a DC but would like to keep the same server name...

    If anyone could just take a look at my proposed procedure and tell me if it will work or not (or if I am taking too many or too few steps) that would be great! I have 2 Domain Controllers in a native Windows 2000 environment (Servers A and B). ServerA is being replaced with a new computer but...

    Changing the name of a Domain Controller...

    We have 2 Domain controllers and I have a new server that will replace the First DC. I have actually already added the new server to the domain as a third DC thinking I could transfer all of the server roles of the first DC to the new DC, but I need the new DC to have the same name and IP as...

    What would the steps be in replacing my original DC with a new server?

    3 years ago we started our first Windows 2000 Domain with a single DC. Now we have an Exchange 2003 server and a Windows 2000 Terminal Services server (which is also a second DC). My boss wants me to completely upgrade the original DC with new hardware (not an upgrade but a complete...

    Is there a java script that will install a custom font for a webpage?

    So if I wanted to use a non-standard font in an HTML page, is there a way to automatically install the font to users' PCs that do not currently have it?

    Trying to learn about SMTP and authentication.. some general questions

    Does the SMTP virtual server need to be set to anonymous authentication to recieve incoming email from other servers? OR is the authentication option only for users who are trying to send out email from the SMTP virtual server? In other words, will Exchange accept incoming email regardless of...

    I need CCNA training... Where should I start?

    I am an MCSE and our company has a Ciso 2600 router (so I would have something to 'play' with.) My boss is tired of having to pay consultant fees to our Cisco guy and I am tired of having to call him when I need to make a change. My boss is not however able/willing to pay for me to go to one...

    Why might an email be stuck in the SMTP queue (using relay internally)

    I have an Exchange 2003 server set up to allow 5 specific internal IP's to use relay (othewise it is disabled) because they wanted to be able to use the Exchange server as their SMTP when sending email from their personal/home email accounts (sending of course from their office computers). The...

    Anyone know how to create a login webpage for OWA?

    When I just click the link to \\exchange_server\exchange, I get the pop-up login window but I would like to create an Intranet webpage that has a form where users can enter their username and password and hit a submit button that will pass their credentials to OWA and open their inbox in a new...

    OWA Question... Why can I sometimes login with only the username...

    but sometimes it will not let me in unless I use the fully qualified login name (i.e. john.doe@office.local instead of just john.doe)? It is just a strange thing and I wondered if anyone else had this problem. *We are using OWA from inside the LAN if that matters. Is there a hostfile entry...

    Question about the "change password" option in OWA in LAN environment

    I've set up Exchange 2000 but since my users are on shared computers I am having them access Exchange via OWA. When they try to change their passwords from the options screen, they get a new IE window with a "The page cannot be displayed" message? Is there something I did wrong or forgot to do...

    Thinking about setting up an Exchange server... need some direction

    My boss sprung this on me a week ago that he and the higher ups want our own mail server and he specifically wants Exchange 2000. I have a small network with a single Windows 2000 domain and at the moment a single DC (I also have one Win2k terminal services server not running as a DC). My...

    When Win2k server does a memory dump to the disk...

    Where is the memory dump file/s?? My C drive just filled up where an hour ago it had almost a GB free (but I have a GB of RAM so I'm thinking the memory dump file is the space hog)

    ARGG! Blue screen after attempting upgrade to dynamic disk!

    Grrr... I hate the blue screen! It came up immediately after the reboot when I ran the Dynamic Disk upgrade wizard... so I don't think it actually started the upgrade process yet but I'm not sure. I tried safe mode and the blue screen still comes up. Here is the gist of the message: ***STOP...

    I cannot change the mailbox rights in AD:users and computers

    I am logged into our new exchange server as a domain admin. When I open a user's properties window, go to the Exchange Advanced tab and click on Mailbox Rights, the permission checkboxes are greyed out as if they are being inherited from a parent object, but there is no checkbox to disallow...

    Need some input on what I can and can't do with a VPN...

    I'm thinking what I want to do isn't possible without using a desktop remote control application, but let me know if I am wrong. We have a network application that clients run from the Win2k server via a shortcut to that executable on the server. I don't want to expose my server to the...

    How do I open a port on a Cisco 2600?

    I'm trying to establish a VPN to my home office from work, but I need to open UDP port 500 and TCP port 1723. I am an MCSE but know nothing about Cisco routers and we had a consultant set it up for us. If there is a good resource on basic router administration I would love any help you could...

    I need a way to restrict Internet Bandwidth usage for some users

    I don't know that this is necessarily a Windows 2000 server issue, but that is the platform we are running on. I have these 2 guys that are both execs in the company and they are always streaming high quality video and audio (all day long) and it is killing the bandwidth for everyone else...

    I need a disk cloner that will copy everything, even the boot sector.

    I've been looking around and I can find several that work for FAT and FAT32 but I can't find one that will clone a drive with NTFS-5.

    Is there a way to make desktop icons undeletable???

    I have a shortcut on all my users' desktops pointing to a network application. Every now and then Windows (XP Pro) for some reason can't see the target on the network and asks the user if they want to delete the icon since the target cannot be found (I guess the network connection gets...

    Is there a trick to link GPOs to Global Security groups?

    I have created a GPO in an OU that contains a global security group with one user (just testing at this point). The problem is that the only way to get the policy to apply when that user logs on is to actually move the user object into the OU. I have tried using the gpupdate command on the...
