Hi guys We have recently decommissioned a HS21 Blade Server, and we are planning on re-using a couple of the left over spare Blades and SAS drives at another site with a Blade Center. We have inserted the blade and 4 drives into the server - the blades themselves do not have any drives, they are...

Thanks for the input guys. We really only need IP based filtering in place, the firewalls are only being used at the most basic level at the moment, so they are just directing traffic between subnets. Nothing special.

Hi Vince Well, if we could go with setting up ACL's on say the HP Procurve series of switches, which we are familiar with, we could support internally. The question really is whether this setup would provide a similar outcome. If this would not work, we could look at a managed switch / device by...

Morning I work for a manufacturing company with multiple sites. I have been asked to investigate replacing our exisitng Checkpoint firewalls (running on aging hardware) as the upkeep and management is very expensive. As far as I can tell, all we are using them for is to provide traffic...

Good morning I have a strange problem here at work I have been following. At a couple of our remote sites, we randomly have users losing connection from the Exchange server. I have looked into the excessive connections issue with 2003 (default of 32 simultaneous connections) but it is not...

Looks like disabling that bios option removes access to it from windows. Looks like I am stuck looking for a different model of card to test, hopefully it is only related to Adaptec cards. Thanks for your help. Brett

Hi ITSP - thanks for the input. I have turned off execution field under the PCI bus control in bios. This allows the system to boot with either a PCI-E card or PCI card installed (both adaptec) and get into windows. It then asks for a driver, but both devices fail with "device cannot start...

Thanks - but she is at 1.08 - all the firmware was updated after Server 2003 was installed fresh. Brett

Hi guys We are "recycling" a couple of IBM x236 servers, with 3 72gb U320's on Serveraid 7i cards. We are attempting to expand their storage with an adaptec sata controller and a pair of 500gb sata drives, but when the card is installed in the server, the system freezes during startup, right...

Hi guys My manager has asked me to change the password on our domain "admin" account, the issue is that over the years it may have been used by previous techs to run services / tasks on some of our many servers over the domain. I would like to track down where this account is being used, and...

Hi - thanks for that This only gives me "basic" permissions to the top level mailbox, i needed access to the folders (calendar / inbox etc) I have found this script, and is now working fine for me (after registering the ACL.DLL and allowing access permissions to all mailboxes) The link to the...

Hi guys Every now and then we start getting NDR's delivered for deleted users where they have been a calendar / free-busy delegate for an exchange user. We know why this issue occurs, but the fix is a little "fiddly" to say the least. We are trying to find an easier way to list delegates for...

Hi guys We have had our company managed WAN provider tell us they are moving us off of a Nortel based VPN solution to the Juniper solution - thus we are looking at rolling out Netscreen Remote. We have raised numerous issues with this client - mainly the lack of the ability to save the username...

Sorry about the delay on this (lost my tektips account details!) We have this one sorted now - the problem was due to a motherboard hardware issue. The mobo was replaced, all is good (after my work buddy spent 5 hours reconfiguring network adapters etc) Thanks for the replies. Brett

Hi there Thanks for the response - had already dug through a mountain of microsoft support info. It turned out (at this stage) to be the defunct drive causing the issue. After the RAID array was back in one piece and rebuilt with a hot spare, the defunct drive was physically removed from the...

Hi guys we have just completed a range of updates on a problem server at my new job. The server has been dropping drives / rebooting due to raid errors, and a support call to IBM has requested that we update 6 major updates to bring it all up to stratch. Before the update, one of the drives...

Hi guys OK - all went well with the force removal process, and the manual clean up. Everything is running beautifully! I did manage to do something stupid when setting up DNS again - but I won't go into that! Thanks for the help. cheers, Brett

Thanks for the responses guys. Pagy - I have worked through a couple of scenarios, and attempted restting the security user / password. No good. I am currently in the process of forcing a removal, which is what I was trying to find a way around, but with my limited time to spend on this, I...

Hi guys (sorry for the long post) This one has me beat. We have recently moved offices, and now the head office domain controller MBHDMC01 runs both head office and a retail shop. PReviously shop had a server called MBCDMC01, which was switched off. It is now about 2 months later, and the...

Hi guys We have bought out a new sawmill site locally, and due to the length of the site, they have used some "old school" Aironet Arlan 640's (pre cisco) to setup a wirless bridge between the site offices. Does anyone have any documentation on these? Can it be downloaded anywhere? cheers, Brett
