Is there any way of copying users from one domain to another. Oh, and the new domain has a Small Business Server as DC Thanks, Chris http://a-connect.co.uk

I'd like to copy the Active Directory from one DC in one domain to an SBS machine on another Domain. I was going to attempt to do this manually but there are 25 users with loads of local settings and mapped stuff so it is looking like a bit of a nightmare. Anyway, I found some info about the...

I have a client with a network of around 10 users and a 2003 server. He wants to be able to share outlook calendars, the only way I've found to do this effectively is using Exchange. However, the pricing of Exchange makes it a less than attractive so I was wondering about SBS. So 2 questions...

I've just set up Small Business Server for a company I do some work for and thought it'd be nice to set up Exchange server for them as I heard it was easier now. Anyway, knowing nothing about Exchange, I've managed to set up a global mailbox using the POP3 connector and set up mailboxes for all...

I know this is the XP Pro forum but as the XP home roll out of SP2 has happened and there isn't an XP home forum I thought I'd mention my experiences. So far I've seen SP2 completely wreck three different machines including my own. 2 of the machines were AMD based, had no previous issues with...

Hi Could anybody tell me the names of any good (commercial or freeware) POP3 mail distribution apps (if this is the correct term!) I need something that can take mail from the catchall POP3 account and distribute it locally according to the name it was sent to. Other features that would be...

Firstly am I right to think Exchange can handle mail from a "catchall" account on a remote POP3 server and then distribute it amongst a workgroup by name? If so could somebody either point me at a very simple set of instructions on how to do this or tell me where I would need to start looking in...

Hi I'm sure this is a really obvious easy one but I don't have the knowledge to work it out. My LAN is on the usual 192.168.1.x range and I'm getting an awful lot of these errors:- The ISA Server services cannot create a packet filter 64.4.48.250. This event occurs when there is a conflict...

Hi Could anybody give me some advice/tips on moving an NT over to 2K using a new server. My plan is to set the new server up and promote it to a domain controller for the existing domain. I presume it will then happily work along side the old NT serverwhich I can then demote if I need to (how...

Hi I read there was a way of sharing calendars on Outlook 2000 but the same instructions don't seem to apply to Outlook XP. Is there a way I can share users calendars on a network without using Exchange server? Thanks in advance Chris http://a-connect.co.uk

Hi I was wondering if there was a way of restarting a service on a remote machine using something like the NET command and if so how? At the moment I'm having to log on through terminal services every time I want to restart a service. Problem with this is a) It takes too long and b) I can't...

Hi Just wondering what would be a cheap hardware firewall solution that allows me to continue hosting our website, run our VPN (Windows 2000 server based) and possibly run video conferencing. There are only 2 machines on this connection if this makes any difference? So basically cheap and...

Hi I've just set up a Linux (Mandrake) box as a caching server for our mostly windows based network. Firstly, are there any obvious, simple tweaks for Squid. Secondly, it seems a bit of a waste having a Linux box do nothing except caching. The Network setup is we have a ADSL router NATting a...

Just wondering what experiences other people have had with roaming profiles. I think they're a nice idea but it seems the overheads are quite substantial and the consistency of the profiles seem to degrade with time. I.e. after a year or so desktops vary from machine to machine and various...

Not sure this is the most relevant forum but couldn't think of any others. Anyway, I need to capture printing data for users on our network i.e. user, no. pages, size, duplex, colour etc. Is there a way of doing this either using locally installed printers or print server based? I know there is...

Hi Am having problems reading the logs from one of my sites running on Apache/Linux. I suspect it's somehting to do with the date format but don't know enough about this to change anything. Here is an example line: foo.com: [04/Oct/2003:06:19:14 +0100] 32.106.38.15 - - "GET...

Is the standard Win2K port filtering secure enough to use a public IP address and have it running a VPN and web server with no firewall?? Thanks Chris

Hi Trying to populate a drop down menu with dates. Works fine in Windows but not on Macs. Code is: <script type=&quot;text/javascript&quot;>document.write(week1.getDate() + &quot; &quot; + monthname[week1.getMonth()] + &quot; &quot; + week1.getYear());</script> Placed between option tags in...

Is there any way of using the built in XP firewall and still being able to talk to machines on a LAN? Thanks in advance Chris

Hi I recently received a spate of spam (nothing new there) but what was strange is where it was addressed. All the addresses where sales@ and 9 of my domains held on the same web hosting reseller account. What is stranger is 4 of these domains have no public resources associated with them ie...
