We're running SQL Server 2000 and I'm trying to set up Simple Log Shipping to have a "warm" secondary server. The permissions on it are driving me crazy and I want your input. The sp_ShipLog procedure works fine and will dump the transaction logs to a shared directory on the remote server. The...

I have a job that is running ( the Monday backup ) and it hung after doing the first 17 megs. It says it's still running but it's been stuck on an .htm file on the c drive for 12 hours now. There's nothing in the job log as to why it stopped. This has happened a few times in the past week since...

Right now my file/application server only has a 4 GB C drive, and it is at it's limit. I'd like to not have to start over with this server as it runs all our accounting software, dns, dhcp, backup, as well as a main fileserver. Has anyone used Symantec VolumeManager ( used to be from PowerQuest...

I have a laptop where Win 2000 freezes at the white loading screen. I've tried safe mode, vga mode, etc.. and nothing works. I was going to boot off the cd and try a repair but the computer locks up trying to load the setup. It loads all the drivers but freezes when it gets to the "starting...

When the secretary voice pages an extension, teh mute button is on by default so he has to press that for teh secretary to hear him respond. This just started when we had to reset ( power cycle ) our Legend system. Anyone know of a fix for this?

Say we have a user Sharon, who when you type in the directory as shar comes up as extension 135 ( which is correct ) and it transfers the call. When in the directory, if you know the party's extension and just dial 135 it says "That selection is disabled". Another example is "kim" at extension...

I'm in the process of locking down some workstations so users cannot install software on their machines. They are all currently running with their domain accounts as Power User or Administrator. When I've made the change locally on the workstations to just plain old user I have been getting a...

Is there any way through permissions or GPO to deny the ability to move or rename folders? Renaming would be alright, but sometimes users will accidentally drag and drop project folders inside other projects and don't realize it. The users would still need ability to read/write/create and delete...

My backup jobs just started failing with the error "Directory not found. Can not backup directory \Specs and its subdirectories." The specs folder got deleted a few days ago and is not specifically set to backup, it was just on the drive. I'm not sure why BE didn't figure out that t...

Is there any cheap way to have disk quota management on folders in Win 2000? I would like to limit the size of project folders, no matter what user. That way if the project grows over say, 100 megs, the people working on the project would have to come ask for more disk space, of just clean up...

Is there any way to have multiple spellings for a persons name in the company directory. For example, we have an employee named Michael. So when you type in 6424 for MICH his extension comes up, but it doesn't come up when you type in MIKE, which is what some of our clients are trying. Is there...

I just cancelled a running backup job and now BE has just been sitting on "Cancel Pending" for a really long time. I really need to restore a file for a user with a deadline and it's just sitting there. Is there any way to speed it up? Or just kill the process and start over?

Where can I get compaq server slide rails for a APC NetShelter 19" rack? My representative at PCMall told me they no longer make them.

Is there a way to send a caller to your voicemail if you are currently on the phone? Right now our system will ring the phone, even if you are on it. The same goes for the voice announce from another extension. It will just come through the speakerphone even when talking to clients etc...

This is a new clean install and it came up fine the first time, and I tried to label my first tape, and it gave me a pop-up error about losing the connection to the BE database. I noticed that the SQLAgent$BKEXEC wasn't started so I started that, tried to reconnect to the media server, and got...

How many of you system admins are on hourly wages? My company (in California) hasn't let me be salary because of some legal issue. They say that since I don't manage anyone, (40 total employees in the company) that I have to be hourly. I know that a lot of Sys Admins in California are salary...

It keeps losing connection to the media server randomly, and I'm getting this error on trying to reconnect: "An unexpected database exception occurred" SQL server is running and all the BE9 services are running. This is happening in the middle of a full backup. Any ideas?

I'm looking into getting a tape autoloader for my company. Right now we are backing up 3 servers with a total of about 175-200 gigs. We currently have an HP DLT80i for backup. I would like to continue to use the DLT tapes so we don't have to buy all the media again. What are you recommendations...

I have a DC for my domain and over the weekend it "lost" it's domain. I had a user call me saying they couldn't log on to a workstation, and that the password wasn't working. I figure no prob, the account just got locked out. I get on the the DC and go to Active Directory Users and...

I have a DLT tape that is stuck in the HP SureStore 80 drive that I cannot get out for the life of me. The Drive is flashing all four LED's constantly. When I hit the eject button on the front of the drive it pauses for a sec, then lets out a loud 'buzz' sound for about two seconds. Then the...
