Hi All, we recently installed an additional Windows 2003 Domain Controller with slipstreamed Service Pack 2. Everything worked just fine until we tried to prestage a new client machine in AD for Client Rollout with WDS... Creating a new computer object in AD presents the first dialog box for...

No, this special kind of *.msi packages cannot be pushed out to users - they are treated like Microsoft *.zap files, which are working basically by the same principles as these wrapped *.msi files. We wanted to roll out several legacy applications which we tried to convert to a *.msi with...

Instead of adding GVN's script to your logon script (which requires user permissions to install the patch locally), you could run it as a computer startup script via a group policy (Computer Configuration - Windows Settings - Scripts - Startup) which executes the update before logon time...

No, we don't use a vpn tunnel for this type of connection, but we just found a vpn time-out setting onthe Firewall which normally shouldn't have influence on this connection but seems to solve the problem. Thank you all for your help in this matter.

Providing the user name and password is an option as basst mentioned but will leave this information in your sctipt in clear text. If anybody opens the script he has all information he needs... If you need special permissions to map the network drive, an alternative option is to change the...

Davetoo, that's correct but only related to the account which executed the net use command. If someone else logs on to your system (like the system account) the mapped drive is not existend and has to be mapped seperately.

I'm not the expert in Perl but would rise a general question: How is the network share mapped to your F: drive, are you mapping it from within your script? If not add the line to your script and everything should work fine. If the F: drive has been manually mapped and the scheduled task is...

pgaliardo, thanks for staying tuned into this nightmare... we are using a SonicWALL firewall, and yes I also think the problem resolves from some misconfiguration, missing settings or bug within the firmware of the box. Unfortunately I'm not able to check on it before monday. I will keep you...

Thanks pgaliardo for the advice but I rather would keep the users connected instead of also interrupting the application they have been working with :-) We experienced that users stay connected no matter what when establishing a connecetion from our internal network or over a VPN connection...

In some way much easier, but the process might differ between hardware RAID systems(hot-plug or not, internal or external HDD) - in general simply pull out disk 1... your RAID hardware should instantly switch over to the mirrored disc. However, when setting disc 1 back into place, your system...

To remove the old DC from your domain, you have to edit the Active Directory manually with ADSIEdit Tool. The follwing might help: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/216498

Do you use roaming or mandatory profiles - if so, are the profile servers accessible from either site/office?

Is it a Windows configured Software RAID? If so you might try to change the boot.ini to startup from the mirrored disk and check the files...

The administrative templates are filtered, open Group policy, right click administrative teplates, select view and filtering and make sure that "Only show policy settings that can be fully managed" is unmarked.

I aggree, there shouldn't be problems in running this configuration. This kb-article might help installing it: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/283675

To provide external workers with office application functionallity we configured a Windows 2000 Terminal Server in application mode. We also configured port forwarding in our firewall to route external TS connection attempts to this server. Establishing the Server connection from the Internet...

Thanks for the advice, but that would prevent the user from logging on again unless the old session has been reset by an administrator and that means plenty of work for me.. :-( I just got additional information that the disconnection doesn't have to be "triggered" by ALT+TAB - sometimes it...

Like a drive letter assigned volume you also can extend the mapped volume with addtional disk space. But, you have to extend with additional and unconfigured disk space, you cannot take an existing partition to extend with. To use the empty space from the D: drive you first have to reconfigure...

To provide external workers with office application functionallity we configured a Windows 2000 Terminal Server in application mode as well as port forwarding in our firewall to forward external TS connection attempts to this server. Establishing the Server connection from the Internet works...

When creating new partions/volumes on harddisks you have the option to assign a drive letter, thereby getting an extra drive to the existing C: and D: drives, or alternatively, you may mount the partition/volume as a NTFS folder within your folder structure on existring frives. In your case...
