We currently use roaming profiles in our environment but want to change these to mandatory profiles. I've configured the profile we're going to use as the default mandatory profile, copied it to the network folder called "mandatory", gave permissions to the correct security group, renamed...

Can I ask why you think someone is doing this?

I was just wondering if there is a way to find out who added a user to a particular security group without using a 3rd party tool? Thanks

To be honest I think it is more likely that it's turning off due to the cpu not receiving the pulses from the fan to tell it that it's on rather than the actual amount of heat as the machine turns off very quickly and little heat builds up in this time. I haven't got the laptop with me in order...

Appreciate all the replies and ideas, thanks a lot! I tried taking the battery out and booting with the power cable in but had no joy there either, just the same results. I think cdogg has hit the nail on the head though with regards to having the spare parts as unfortunately I don't have a...

When I had the cover off I couldn't see too much dirt around the fins but I suppose I could give it a quick clean anyway to see if it helps. Would the only way to check for a bad rpm sensor be to replace the fan?

I've been in the BIOS and it still turns off even when in it & I've also already tried reseating the memory. I'll give the battery and replacement AC adaptor ideas a go later on when I get home. Thanks for the reply cdogg

I have an Acer laptop that has started to turn itself off after roughly 15secs, although this time decreases to as little as 5secs if you keep trying to turn it on a few times in a row. On the first attempt of trying to start it it gets by the acer screen and then shows a 'Windows was not able...

I'm trying to change a few registry settings using a client side extension gpo on a vista machine. I know that on a server 2003 domain gpos are applied in the order of local,site,domain,ou but is there anyway to change the order so that the local gpo is applied last but the other gpos still apply?

Thanks for your feedback but I found a solution to this & have pasted a link below if anyone wants to have a look at it, thanks again!! http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc785826(WS.10).aspx

Are there any group policy settings that can be applied to prevent computer accounts passwords from changing and becoming out of sync with the server?

Do you think this will help the issue of connecting over http through outlook though?

The certificate on the server is vaild until 2012 and it is self signed. Do I need to add this to the trusted root on the client?

I gave the telnet command a try an everything seemed fine, blank screen just appeared. I have tried a different e-mail, different PC & different profile but no new users will be accepted

OWA, POP3 & IMAP4 are all enabled! Because some users can still use http (ones who have used it before) I am thinking it is an autentication issue or some sort of cache that needs to be cleared. I have already tried to reboot the server & we don't use telnet. I have compared side by side by...
