hence why it's so important to practise restores. Backup ain't very reliable but if you know the pit falls you can be successful with it.

looks like you someone with more radius experience than me. good luck! Dave

on your machine do an "ipconfig /flushdns", you may have cached the incorrect DNS entry before you added the nas to your DNS server.

make sure the nas device is added to your DNS server.

run the ping command (against your servers) again when the drives are disconnected!

I agree with Empmark completely

Don't quite understand what you are doing. Can you elaborate? Here's what I think so far. The IAS server is a radius server, used to authenticate "remote" users on your network, the radius server will I think authenticate users who conect to a specific IP, if your server has 2 IP's, one...

when you say you have to re-map the drives do you mean they dissapear or they don't work? If they don't work what error are you receiving (no rights, no permissions etc.)? Are you runnig offline files? Are you on a wireless connection, if so maybe the wireless is dropping out and your pc is...

If you don't have any backups then a full instalation will probably be the only way. You will then have to do a dcpromo and recreate the domain, you'll then have to re-create the user accounts and then re-install exchange. Unless you can fix the hive I can see no other way.

Hi Stiddy, not had time to try it yet but would the script also work for Windows XP machines? Dave

Hi Shane, out of curiosity can you tell me why you prefer Acronis? What functionality or improvements over LiveState does it have? It does look promising but I've never used it, I may get it if it's better than LiveState. thanks Dave

Hi Stiddy, sorry I've been unable to try it, I've been working on another project, when I get into work on Monday I'll give it a go. Thanks for your help Dave

Hi Stiddy, I'm only looking to change the name on member servers, I've to create a script which will quickly rename about 400 servers which are all imaged. the administrator name and password will be the same on all servers. Don't worry about domain names or anything, none of these servers are...

hi folks, does anyone know how to change from a command prompt the name of a windows 2003 server? could this be put into a script or batch file? cheers Dave
