Hi We have a forest trust between 2 W2K3 domains that we will try to decommission. One of the first steps is to temporarily disable the firewalls between the two domains, to see what traffic is still exchanged. The question is: how long can we disrupt network connectivity between the 2 domains...

Hi We need to delegate permissions on an IIS 7 web site to some non-administrative users. Apart from some configuration settings, we also need the delegation to work for application pool recycling and maybe even an IIS reset (the server is dedicated for the one web site anyway). Is there a way...

Hi Is there a possibility to configure a VPN connection in Windows XP (and Vista), so that a secondary VPN server can be contacted when the primary server is not reachable? I searched for all kinds of information on VPN client redundancy but did not find relevant information. Cheers, Tim

No, but I will repost there. Thanks for the tip.

We would like to install an ISA Server at the edge of our network for various reasons (VPN, internet access, ...) But considering this, what is the security risk when ISA Server crashes or its services are stopped? Does this mean our infrastructure (or maybe just the server itself) is completely...

Hi Thanks for the reply! We already tried it the easy way, but it would appear that log entries are only made for WINS database events, not for things like failed queries. Too bad, because this indeed seemed a fair option. The second approach does work, but it will need a lot of scripting to...

The easiest way to do this is by using a simple redirection page on your old web server. For example, you could put this into the default index page: <% Dim strURL strURL = "http://MyNewLocation" Response.Redirect strURL %> If you don't have ASP, you can use HTML as well...

Hi We will be migrating our PC's from two existing WINS servers to a couple of new ones. While doing so, we do not want to replicate all existing WINS records to the new servers. Instead, we would insert only a few static records which we are sure to be needed (applications that do not work...

Hi We currently have an environment with 2 separate AD forests and a two-way trust in between. Both domains have a DFS root, pointing to shares on a number of file servers. We need to know if it is possible to add DFS links towards the same share on both DFS roots, knowing that users connect...

Thanks for the fast response! This is the confirmation I was looking for, I couldn't really find a sample script using the same objects in multiple queries.

Hi I need to run several LDAP queries on two Active Directory environments. I'm using ADODB to do this: Set objConnection = CreateObject("ADODB.Connection") Set objCommand = CreateObject("ADODB.Command") objConnection.Provider = "ADsDSOObject" objConnection.Open "Active Directory Provider"...

OK, so there is no difference in what the code actually does then.. Thanks for the answer!

Hi I am working on a script to replicate account settings between two AD domains. One topic is the parameter "user cannot change password". The "problem" with enabling this setting is that I have two pieces of code that seem to do it: Const ADS_UF_PASSWD_CANT_CHANGE = &H0040 Set objUser =...

OK, we'll use the LMHOSTS file then. Thanks for the tip!

Hi We want to set up a trust between two Windows 2003 forests. Do we need WINS for that? One of the domains does not have WINS installed and relies only on DNS. And we would really like to keep it that way. Thanks!

Never thought it would be so simple.. Thanks for the tip!

Actually the parameters are a problem as I would not know what to send with the procedure call.. This is how the TimerMethod is defined: Public Sub TimerMethod(ByVal source As Object, ByVal e As ElapsedEventArgs)

Hi I have implemented a timer in VB .NET so that a piece of code is executed at regular intervals. This works fine, apart from the fact that the code is not executed until the first interval has elapsed. As this interval is quite large (several hours) it means that the code is not executed...

Thanks for your reply. I managed to use instsrv.exe to run the tool as a service, so that part is solved. As for the loop, I replaced it with a timer control that executes the algorithm. It still doesn't work as expected though, so I hope to get this working.
