    Universal Group Caching in a multi-domain forest with slow WANs

    Oh, I've been there too. Not fun. HP & lexmark port monitors are NOTORIOUS for causing hang-ups. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/947477 Is the drive where the spool files are kept full? (just checking). Do you clear your spool folder? We regularly delete user's temp & IE temp folders - USE...

    Internet Authentication Services?

    If this is the ONLY DC for a domain, then you might run into some issues... but I'm assuming that it's not... If there is another DC, you might have to re-authorize the server to have access to the user's RAS settings. You may also need to look at your wireless policy and re-check any group...

    Do Windows clients need a Primary/Secondary DNS that is also a DC?

    Thanks for your answer. For simplicy's sake I swapped IP's of 2 DC/DNS servers and achieved what I wanted (not having to change DNS IP's on any client and keep clients pointed to DCs for DNS resolutions.) Currenly we're not using DNS integrated with AD. Essentially we're still using a single...

    Do Windows clients need a Primary/Secondary DNS that is also a DC?

    Hello, First, thanks for your response. The setup you describe is already in use in our current DNS structure and working very well. I was kind of trying to simplify a larger question I posted (link below) regarding some DNS server migrations...

    Setup a false DNS server, script to correct one

    I think you are essentially asking for 'guest' access i.e. users who are either on the AD or visitors who just want to get to the Internet & email. This falls under the topic of "Network Access Control" or NAC which is a HOT topic (i.e. revenue) for a lot of companies... PS: Our company...

    Do Windows clients need a Primary/Secondary DNS that is also a DC?

    Do Windows XP, 2000, 2003 member servers, 2008 member servers in an AD domain need to point their primary and secondary DNS server settings to a DNS server that is also a Domain controller (with NON-AD Integrated DNS zones)? Why or why not? As long as they can resolve the AD domain via dns...

    configuring a transparent proxy

    I've done something very similar (production environment with 200+ clients using SquidNT as well in our 'guest' web access network) Here are some suggestions: SSL websites will not work with transparent proxies. So, you might want to hand out an automatic proxy configuration file via DHCP...

    Nokia IP 330 Firewall

    I believe you can actually reset all settings back to factory and or remove all installed products. From what I recall the IPSO product won't work without license keys anyway. But I understand your need to re-flash it. Do you still have access to the Nokia support? They might be able to help...

    Thanks, I'm familiar with this option and I may consider doing just what you have described. However, there are lots more issues to consider on this server: This server is also a DHCP server, Primary DNS server for all of our DNS zones and also a Windows 2000 TSE License Server. So to...
