    Update AD attribute using current user

    Hi guys, I'm a PoSH guy at heart, but I fear I can't use it for the task at hand and I know next to nothing with VBScript... I need to write a logon script that when executed under the users context will clear to null an extension attribute on their AD user object. Permissions are already set...

    Autodiscover across domains

    Hi guys, Got Exchange 2007 (MBX, HT and CAS on one VM) and a 2010 server in the same domain doing the same roles. In the middle of moving from 2007 to 2010. However we got brought by a new parent company and have moved all computer and user objects into the parent's company domain. So all...

    Hi Guys, Exchange 2007, all roles on a single server and a 3rd party product for the SMTP gateway (MailMarshal) that's setup as a SmartHost in Exchange. Just built a 2010 box on SP2.

    Deploying iSCSI SAN for VMWare - topology considerations

    Hi Guys, I have a single bus physical topology for our data network all using HP ProCurve 29xx switches. This is a fine little 10Gig backbone network for simple data (and some VoIP with CoS) and a handful of VLAN's - however on the budget given we could not deploy any redundancy. Our SAN for...

    Time skipping briefly

    Hi Guys, I have a 2008 server which is a member of a domain (2008R2 levels and DC's). Recently the time on the server skips forward by around half an hour (although it can be an hour) for a few minutes then back to the correct time again. What I've done: - Reset the W32tm config to use domain...

    Merging software deployments group policies

    Hi Guys, I have a few working group policies, each one deploys a seperate bit of sofware (e.g. one GP for Flash deployment, another for Acrobat Reader etc.). I want to have a single policy with these deployments in it rather than a GP for each bit of software I want to deploy. My question is...

    Exporting and Importing Contacts to/from Exchange

    Hi Guys, Just been "aquired" by a new parent company, and whilst we seem to be staying on our own AD forest the business wants our address books to be syncronised and in the GAL of both businesses. As such I needed a way to export all mail-enabled user accounts in AD into CSV, and then a way...

    GPO: Disable Offline files for redirected folders

    Hi Guys, I have a couple of terminal services / citrix servers on Windows 2008. Our users all use local profiles, not roaming - however when using Citrix servers I don't want Windows to keep a copy of their redirected folders (My Docs, Favourites and Desktop via a GPO) locally. There's not...

    Installing 2007 SP1 in a 2008 only AD

    Hi Guys, I've read the sys requirements, and understand that Exchange 2007 SP1 / SP2 can be installed in an environment with 2008 DC's. However the sys requirements also state that it requires a Windows 2003 global catalogue... it doesn't say Windows 2003 or higher - just Windows 2003 /...

    Hi all, Building a Vista SP2 Bus OEM box on a new Dell OptiPlex 760. Once setup and complete I'm going to image it using ImageX. Anyway, everything running fine - all good. However when a new user logs on (domain or local - doesn't matter) the classic start menu appears. The end user can...

    Hi guys, Trying to get an automated installation of Vista working via WDS on a Win2k8 Ent SP2 box. Can boot into WDS fine and can fire up a capture image OK too. (And upload an sysprep'd box to WDS). However if I upload boot.wim from a Vista SP1 DVD to WDS and boot into that image I get an...

    Dynamic Updates (DNS and DHCP)

    Hi guys, Got a Windows 2003 domain with a mix of 2003 and 2008 DC's and DNS Servers. Clients are XP and Vista. For some reason it appears that dynamic updates are not working in our DNS Servers. We are using a single AD-Integrated zone with Windows DHCP and DNS using secure dynamic updates...
