I am still having issues and would like some assistance urgently. When I create a folder and share it as the root share for documents EVERYONE has full control over the folder (something I do not want). When I create a user folder it inherits the security of the parent (therefore EVERYONE now...

Okay, I'm on a typing spree now! We used to deliver software via MSIs but stopped when lots of the software failed miserably - more significantly Acrobat Reader. We have been using imaging software but that is falling apart like crazy primarily due to the need to find stable and reliable DOS...

Can you, through the built in featuers of 2000, restrict users to the number of log ins they can have at the same time - basically ensuring that a user can only be logged on to one computer at any one time?

I have noted that some how the individual user document area security rights have been altered. This now means that all the users of one group (STUDENTS) now have full control over everyone's documents. Obviously undesirable and potentially dangerous. This appears to be due to inheritance and...

I have 1200 users, each with their own documents area and a profile area. We are changing the security rights to Administrators and Creator Owner and so have checked to ensure that each owner is the user. Yet we have found that too many have the administrator as the owner and want to know if...

I have written most of the script I need for a AUP but need a simple piece of script that opens up the default browser with a given .HTM file. How can I achieve this? The vbscript file is a .vbs and is to be used during startup for all users.

Strange but the menu bar has completely disappeared from Excel! The user loaded a spreadsheet and since then the file/edit menu has completely gone! I cannot find any embedded macros within Excel nor can I find a simple activation button gor the menu bar so how do I get it back? I presume it's...

I require software that will allow me to: - Record where my users have been when on the Internet - Monitor the content of email messages - Allow an accurate record of a user's activities Oh, and must not cost me the earth!

Okay, net send is officially a pain in the ***e! We use it to check out the system and other features but now our students are using it to communicate with each other. Beyond my previous posting, how can I stop Net Send without the net stop messenger command (that is very simple to reverse)?

We have a number of users (1200 and all 18 and under) who have their own network share area as well as a global share location. The trouble is students want to play games and these get downloaded or brought in from home. Anyone know of a way (software or GPO) to stop the saving, storing or...

We have had no real problems with Exchange or Outlook for some time (aside from a profile issue to which I have already posted about) but recently users have started to find that they are being asked for a username, password and domain. No matter what they type in it fails. What is happening?

Our students have an email account and we want them to use Outlook. Yet at present the system appears to default to a PST file rather than attach directly to the mailbox. We are using Outlook XP with Windows XP for clients and Windows 2000 SP3 servers; one being our Exchange Server. All users...

Curious this one. Two PCs connected via switch and UTP, one having a cable modem connection. Internet is shared and has been working fine for ages - then suddenly, after installing some VPN sofware, the non-Internet unit (the one not directly connected but connecting through ISC) now shows a...

I am now looking at swapping all batch files for vbscript ones. I am very familiar with VB and have worked a little with VBScript but this should be treated as completely new. I have a batch file using con2prt. It first removes all network printers from a computer (to stop any risk of the...

With nearly 500 workstations we have found the most productive and effecient means of deploying software etc is through imaging. However, due to the rate Microsoft produce updates we need another method of delivering these. We run Windows 2000 Server with Windows XP Pro clients. How can we best...

How can I easily extend the DHCP range on my Win2000 network? Is it simply by extending the scope? We have two ranges available, one was meant for general usage whilst the smaller one was for administration. Due to system requirements we shifted all systems onto the general scope, leaving the...

We have been allocated two sets of IP ranges to use, one of 512 long and one of 256. The ranges do not follow from one to the other. The original idea was one for main usage and one for administration usage. However, we have selected to use folder security, GPOs and Group Rights rather than...

Okay, I can set up a default user and copy the profile across for printers, etc. However, when I connect shared drives and set environmental variables these seems to disappear. Now, I know XP had a problem with this but the laptops are fully updated so that should not be a problem. The laptops...

I have installed a game onto our workstations to allow students to play at the end of the day. We installed under administrator and all went well. However, whenever a user logs on and tries to run the game it fails to work. Why and how can we resolve this? (Someone has said something about...

I am attaching printers to my XP Pro clients (Windows 2000 Server System) using a TCP/IP port. This has many advantages, especially with imaging software. However, curious issue: I install the printers and make one the Default printer. When a user logs on, one of the other printers is set to...
