    PIX 506e Unresponsive

    Thanks, I think it is probably time to switch it. I might also double check a few more things but I think it is just getting bad. Thanks again.

    PIX 506e Unresponsive

    Well I have been the admin about 3 years there. It is probably about 5 years old maybe. I have a spare 506, I may just have to build the spare like the 506E, we are not using it for the SITE TO SITE anymore on the 506e just PPTP so the 506 wont be a problem if I switch. I just want to see...

    PIX 506e Unresponsive

    I am having some problems with one of our PIX firewalls and cant pinpoint the issue. Very randonmly the pix will become unresponsive, what I mean by unresponsive is that it you cant access it from PDM/TELNET and of course PING it. When I go look at the pix it has all lights on and looks fully...

    Exchange 2000 and a new Domain Controller

    your welcome, yeah if you would have rant he policy test you would have probably noticed that it didnt read properly. I am glad you solved the issue!

    Exchange 2000 and a new Domain Controller

    overlooked what you said sorry, after you manually set the DSACCESS did you reboot? Do you have a external DNS running? Try running NETDIAG on the Exchange server and make sure things are looking normal, if you get a WINS error that is okay. Run POLICYTEST from the exchange CD in the i386...

    Exchange 2000 and a new Domain Controller

    since it isnt in the same location you can manualy set the config controller in exchange. Goto system manager, then goto your server in the administrative groups and goto properties. From there you will see a Directory Access Tab and you can change your configuration controller (gc/dc) to what...

    DC/GC Question

    well I think I wasnt as clear enough I should have put it more in diagram form instead of paragraph form. Thanks for you help though. Just want double check with other before we make a change on something thats why I asked.

    DC/GC Question

    Norton ES2, that was exactly the answer I was looking for and I am not trying to confuse people with anything, my first plan was only demoting the DC then I thought maybe it needs a DC only to run and not a GC So to clear everything up here and sorry for the confusion that I may have caused...

    DC/GC Question

    right now server 2 = gc so your saying if i went into site and services and right clicked on server2 and unchecked from being a GC it wouldnt make it a DC only? I know a GC is a DC but if I at least need a GC and a DC then that is my only options right now, im not demoting server2, just taking...

    DC/GC Question

    I know it is confusing through typing. GC'S are DC'S basically for right now im just going to have a GC and one DC. Then we will be having a new DC in the future. Reason for this occuring we have to demote our DC, we have 2 GC'S and 1 DC. so for right now which i dont want to I guess I will...
  14. GrantThomas

    DC/GC Question

    yes dave, the main question was can those GC'S be okay to run with exchange, I wasnt sure if exchange 2000 needed a DC to run along the side as well. I thought it would be okay to run it with the two GC'S until we finaly implement the other DC'S but I wasnt sure so I asked this question and I...
  15. GrantThomas

    DC/GC Question

    Yes i understand for backup resons which we will be implemting another DC we may just wait until those DC's will be ready. The thing is we are getting to upgrade a lot of servers and change some things around and I had these questions arise before planning something. Maybe you can answer...
