I have several users who are getting a message when they try to check their email: Could not write to file o:\whatever Cause: Disk Full (28) we use an old version of Eudora(3.0.6 -- which has been working fine), and the file mentioned is always one of the Eudora files which sit on a networked...

I have a few (not all) windows 98 machines which refuse to log in to my AD domain. They can log in to my NT domain just fine and any of my netware servers, but as soon as I try to login to the AD domain, I get an error message: "Unable to login. Please check your username and password or...

I used a machine for a file server test and now I need to reload Windows 98. The only copy of Win98 I can find is an upgrade CD. It gets to the point where it is checking for compliance and then can't find anything (since I re-formatted the drive, duh!) Does anyone know what file it's looking...

I'm having an odd problem on some of my XP Pro desktops. Somehow a disk quota is being set on the C: drive, which causes all sorts of problems, since it's set to 100M. Coincidentally (or probably not so!) the default user space limit on the server volume where user home directories are stored...

I am looking for a way to get a list of local users who are members of the group Administrators on my Windows XP Pro desktops. I have found a student who made himself a member of this group so now I need to check about a hundred other machines. If I could pull this list using the login script...

I thought I had the same problem in the thread "problem adding second DC" but I tried the suggestions and it didn't work for me. I have a primary server loaded with Active Directory and a backup server in the same Active Directory. I am trying to include a third server in AD. This...

I understand how to use the net use command for most things, but I have a dumb question. I have a laserjet printer with a jetdirect box. All users print directly to this printer with TCP/IP. Now I have a user who has an old DOS-based application (under Windows XP Pro) which can only print to...

I want to allow the teachers in my school to install their own software. They are in a separate container with a separate policy in Active Directory (Windows 2000 Server) and are all members of the group 'teachers'. Our new workstations are Windows XP Pro. Currently, when they try to install...

I hope this isn't a REALLY stupid question. I just converted a server from Netware 4.0 to Windows 2000. I need to be able to display where a student is logged in by Ethernet address if possible. Is there a way to do that in W2K? It was so easy in Netware. The students occasionally change...

Is there a way to automate assigning a certain login script to a user? I converted 1000+ users from Netware and I don't want to go into each individual user and assign the login script. Please say there is a way to build a batch file! TIA! JL Filler,Wilton Public Schools, Wilton CT

I have an old NT 4.0 server (service pack6a applied) We had a big thunderstorm and lost power last Friday and when the server came back up (orderly shutdown, it's on a UPS), the networked printers won't print anymore. I have an HP Color Laserjet 4500, an HP Laserjet 4050 (both attached to the...

This is a silly little thing, but it's real annoying. I know that to put the "logoff" option back on the start menu when it's in Windows classic, you need to go into taskbar properties, customize, then Advanced Start Menu Options and check the box "Display Logoff" The only...

I have a situation with one of my servers which is giving me much grief. Compaq ML370 with 512MB RAM and a Compaq UPS running Netware 5.1 It keeps abending and re-starting randomly through the day. It was getting 'multiple abends -- processor halted' but I set "Auto Restart after...

I just converted a user from Eudora 3.0.6 to Eudora 5.1. It started the first time fine, all was well. But once the user closed his email and started it again, I received the following error: Could not open the file r:\Nickname\ .toc for reading Cause: No such file or directory exists (2)...

I am in a school and we are just beginning to evaluate Windows XP for use in our schools. Obviously, we don't have one computer for each user, all users sign on to any machine they can find or machines in the classroom they are in. Each student and staff member has his/her own account. In...

I am in a school and we use system policies to force down a common student desktop. I found that if I do not turn on user profiles, we don't get the desktop forced down. So I have user profiles turned on. However, now that we have some Office 2000 (but still a lot of Office 97), user profiles...

I was just hunting through student directories for executables. We have recently installed Microsoft Office 2000 on some of our machines. I see that each student has a folder in their home directory called Application Data\Microsoft\Installer\{00010409-78E1-11D2-B60F-006097} and in this...

I found Microsoft's "minimum" specs for hardware to run Office 2000, but based on past experience these specs are inadequate. Are there documented "recommended" specs for Office 2000? If not, what is your experience? JL Filler,Wilton Public Schools, Wilton CT

I want to reboot one of my Netware 4.11 servers once a week. I thought I'd use CRON to do it. Here's my crontab file #perform DSREPAIR every night at 4:00 am 0 3 * * * LOAD DSREPAIR -u # reboot the server every Saturday night at 11 pm # 0 23 * * 6 REBOOT The DSREPAIR performs fine, the...

I have Eudora 3.06 installed on my network, with each user getting their own mailbox elsewhere. It has been running great, except for one thing. I have 2 users where the icon title for the Eudora shortcut becomes that user's password! I have virus checked the machines in question, nothing...
