Ok, gonna try to keep this is short as possible.. Got a mail server at a co-lo site getting throttled with spam so Postini was employed. Postini was effective, but not as effective as it could be without locking down smtp to their IP range. That can be achieved - no problem. The problem is...

So, I'm helping out a buddy whose company recently signed up for the postini spam filtering service. Here's the twist, they run an offsite/co-lo (archaic) POP3 email server (imail 6). So here's the deal. Postini tells me for the service to be effective, I need to lock down port 25 for only the...

I've configured smb.conf to allow a user / client machine to connect, and I'm seeing all folders, sub-folders, etc. but they're all empty. The folder/file permissions on the folder are 776 (tried 777 also w/ no success).. I've read that this could be a hidden file issue, but to my knowledge...

I need to use winrar to archive a heavily trafficked directory containing several gigs of data, that needs to be purged periodically.. I set this up by using the following command.. winrar a -v4294967 -ep2 -r -tb2007-02-15 -df "c:\test.rar" "C:\test\*.*" It works great, but here's the...

I've recently been tasked to find a way to prove that one of our new clients is eating up a bunch of bandwidth at our co-lo site.. Before we added them (and their dedicated server), we were at roughly 5 mb average, and now we've jumped to around 8.. The guy at the co-lo site said that I could...

So, I set up an old celeron 300 to be my dedicated VOIP server in the house.. It's an old abit bx-6 motherboard. The system runs asterisk fine, but here's what's driving me up the wall. If I get a power outage, or just need to reboot the machine, I have to haul a monitor in the room and hook...

I'm wondering how I can have the Pix capture traffic from only one incoming IP. I'm currently using this command: capture captest buffer 2045952 interface dmz This captures all of the traffic on the DMZ to a 2 meg file. The problem is there is so much traffic on the dmz that the 2 meg...

I've read a few threads about this, but unfortunately none with an actual answer. I need a group of users to be able to modify/create/append files in a folder but NOT to create new folders. Unfortunately, for some wonderful reason, MS has decided to have "create folders / append data" on the...

I've been reading some other posts that explain how to exclude a user/group from a group policy. They say to go to the "properties" for the GPO and add a deny to the security. I'm using the gpmc.msc snapin, and when I go to right click on my policy from the tree, there is no "properties"...

Does anyone know a command with xcopy/xcopy32/xxcopy (or any other program) that will allow me to copy empty subfolders only at the first level. I am aware of the xcopy /t /e, but this does ALL the directories and I only need the top or perhaps 2nd level, but not the infinite ones inside these...

Alright, here's the scenario, I just ghosted a Win2k server to new hardware. This is primarily an ftp server w/ hundreds of user accounts. The good news is, the ghost worked and all user accounts and passwords are intact on the new server. Here's where the problem comes in. I didn't include...

Hello all, I am in desperate need of some advice. I have been tasked to move our main FTP server (IIS 5) to a new server (will be IIS 6 on Win2k3). I am aware of the free utility called IIS export, but unfortunately, this only takes care of half of the issue. The real issue is that the...

For about the last week or 2, my WUS server has not been synching with Microsoft anymore and retrieving updates for my client computers to install.. I have not changed anything on the server. I've tried "synchronize now" and it still fails. Does this have anything to do with the fact that MS...

I have a copy of Veritas backup exec 9 that's been laying around the office for a while unused. I've been looking for a good way to back up my IIS ftp server. My question is, will Veritas allow me to backup not only folders with permissions intact, but users as well? In other words, if my ftp...

I currently have a thread open on this in the 2000 server forum.. if any of you have time to look at it and offer any other suggestions I appreciate it! http://tek-tips.com/viewthread.cfm?qid=1035088&page=1 --hag

Can anyone point out some good links and / or help me out with some advice on backing up an IIS FTP server? The server has been flaky lately, and I can't imagine recreating all of the user permissions and directories if the server were to finally crash.. What would you do? TIA --hag

I am the sys admin for a small office with about 30-40 users. We have a domain running on windows server 2003. I've set up a beta WUS server for patch management and I'm wanting to test it with group policies. I set up a gpo in the "group policy manager" and called it "wustest". I then went...

I am using imail server with Outlook 2000/2003 as our email clients in the office. I have enabled the ldap service on the imail server. When I go into outlook and configure a new ldap address book, it appears to connect and try to receive addresses, etc. but ends up coming back completely...

Looking for some possible solutions here.. Our office uses MS Outlook for our email client, but not exchange server. We use ipswitch imail (pop3), and are generally pretty happy with it. The one complaint I get from users is that there is no global contact list or address book. Does anyone...

Hello all, I have a question. I have two mail servers (separate servers) on the dmz network of my pix (30.30.30.x). When one tries to send mail to other, it's getting rejected because the mail server is trying to access the other by it's translated public address 70.x.x.x. I did a little...
