Howdy. We are putting a high-end box in place to be our main database server. By high-end, I mean a dual-processor, 2gb RAM box with RAID 1. We are a small place (only 60 users), however the database is going to serve as our "business runner" application. As such, we want to maintain a...

Hello All... We want to remove one of our Active Directory servers from service. The question is, can we safely delete the machine's account (remove it from the domain), replace the physical box with a better machine, yet give the new machine the name of the server that's been removed? Is there...

Howdy All. Got a strange problem with one of my Win2k Pro SP4 machines. Basically, what I'm seeing is that the NetLogon and ComputerBrowser services are totally missing on this computer. They do not appear in the Services area. Whenever anyone but the local admin or the daily user tries to sign...

Hello. Got a strange issue going on with one of my workstations. The workstation is a brand new Win2k Pro build. We unboxed it today and slapped the OS onto it (we don't use any imaging software or anything...small outfit...doing it the hard way). Any-hoo...when it came time to put our apps on...

Has anyone ever heard of a trojan called "FileNail.100"? I happened across it in a network scan of my network, and it happens to be on my workstation. I ran a trojan scanner and it found the program had a certain port open. I verified it by using a port scanner, which indicated the port was open...

Howdy. We have a mixed bag on our stuff here (mostly 98 clients, with some 2k Pro SP4 thrown in). We have four Win2k Server SP4 servers, 3 of which participate in AD, with the other being a Terminal Server. About 3 weeks ago I set the Account Lockout Policy for the domain to the standard 3...

Hello. When working in Server Manager and I click on "Replication" I get the following error: "Network Path could not be found" on my FSMO server. On another server in the network I get a different error when checking replication: "The specified component could not be...

Got a question on load balancing. I am attempting to install it in order to utilize it in Term Services (Win2k SP4 server). However, when I attempt to install the service, it is not in the installable services window. Is this only available on different versions of Win2k Server, for example...

Howdy. Been having trouble for quite some time using IE6 (with latest patches). The problem is when I try to go to certain websites, I keep getting the standard "Server could not be located...check your DNS settings...yada yada yada". If I hit refresh 2-3 times, the error will...

Hello All. I am having trouble setting up default file locations in MS Word/Excel using Term Services. Meaning, I want my users to be able to log into a term services session that fires off Word, then click the "Open" icon, or click Open from the file menu, and be at the point where...

Hello. Is there way to "release" some of my term services licenses? I notice in the license manager that 8 of my 10 licenses have been issued, even though there's only 2-3 people in the system at a time via term services. Is there a way to get these licenses back when they log out...

Hello. We have been spinning our wheels trying to find a solution that would work with our SCSI tape drive. We've tried EVERYTHING. Nothing suits us. My question is, should we move away from tape? What is the status of tape today? Are people moving towards CDRW towers? Or some other type of...

Anyone know where I can find some fairly decent documentation on MS Backup? I'm not looking for the MS Help files...thanks for any info. Dennis Jones

We are unable to map a network drive on a Win2k Pro SP4 box. The box is trying to map to a share on our terminal server (Win2k SP4 member server). I am able to map the drive on multiple other machines (2k and 98SE) without a problem. We tried to map the drive from a DOS prompt and got a System...

Anyone know of a good freebie command scheduler I can use with Win2k Server? I know of WinAT, but would like to avoid purchasing the Res Kit if possible. Thanks for any info. Dennis Jones

Having trouble installing Office 2000 SB on a Win2k SP4 Term Server. When I put the server in install mode, it tells me that some features in Word 9.0 are unsupported in Term Services, and that I should consult the Office 2k Res Kit. Upon doing so, I find nothing in the "Term Services...

Hello. Long story short, I have Term Services installed on a DC in my Win2k network (for reasons beyond our control). I am locking down the policy of the machine for use. However, I'm unable to lock down the Administrative Tools program group from appearing. I have already tried to use the...

Morning all. Anyone have a good suggestion for a backup suite for a Win2k/Netware environment? We only have 4 servers in house (using a 40gb dds dat drive), so we're not looking for anything outrageously expensive like ARCServe or Veritas. We're looking for something small and reliable. We've...

Howdy. This is going to be a tough one, I think. I've got term services set up on my Win2k server, and am currently testing it for deployment to our remote sites. This is really my first dabble with term services, so I'm a complete newbie. Anyhoo...Myself and the other IT person here are able...

Hello. I have three Win2k servers in house (SP4), and noticed something strange on our FSMO (PDC, in NT days). We are unable to change file associations. When going into the system under file types, we are unable to edit any current associations, or create new ones. We used "open...
