I just passed it and thought I did so in the nick of time. I'm not seeing any other documentation online to mention that this is indeed the case. I think I may have given someone else a heart attack for no reason. The information I thought I remembered correctly said that the XP exam was being...

The thing that honks me off is that the Microsoft books don't even prepare you totally for the test exams in the back of the book, let alone what's actually on the test! Between the exams in the back of the book, testking, and the real exam, testking was closer. I agree that you are cheating...

The key to any of these tests is to be calm and relaxed, read the questions through thoroughly before answering. Of course, that's advice I always have a hard time following since my heart is racing a mile a minute like the guillotine is waiting for me if I fail. But I try to remain calm. :)...

We don't have software assurance and there's nothing left in the budget so there goes that idea. It ticks me off because the machines were purchased about 5 months before R2 was released.

Ok, very stupid question time: can 2003 R1 servers be upgraded to R2 or would it be a full reinstall? The documentation is not quite clear on this.

Ok, so I'm trying to install Distributed File System. The instructions say it's gotta go on domain controllers. Fair enough, got a domain controller here and at the remote location. So, both domain controllers are Server 2003, version 5.2.3790. But of course, that doesn't mean anything, no sir...

Thanks!

Firewolf, concerning KLS backup, does it also span the archives across multiple DVD's? I've got a utility i'm about to try out that's supposed to be able to do something like that. For all of our important info that gets backed up on a routine basis, we use external hard drives. For info that...

Solution 1: tell your client he's a moron. Most satisfying but probably not the most productive. Solution 2: have client make two backups, one to the second internal hard drive and one to an external usb keychain that goes home with the owner. The last time I used Quickbooks, it had an...

I use a 3 monitor setup at work. I keep groups of icons on each of the three screens, corresponding with the different tasks I have to keep up with. Unfortunately, every time desktop is resized, the icon positions are changed and remain so. This is bad enough on my laptop when swapping between...

Did you have the user log of and back on? Security changes won't take affect if he is still logged on as you make the changes. What's funny is I've seen some security changes that do require a fresh log-in but I've seen others that work immediately, no additional steps required. I'm guessing...

I've been onthe phone with HP. They gave me a pile of updates to install and then some diagnostics to run. I have to do this during non-working hours since it will disrupt everything. Oh, joy. What bothers me is that I can never get a straight answer. The guy I spoke to yesterday said that...

Ok, let me clarify my previous statement, I mistyped there. The array is actually 3x. I'm reading this information off of the System Management Homepage provided by HP. Physical Drives Port 2 Drive 2 69460 MB Port 2 Drive 3 69460 MB Port 2 Drive 4 69460 MB Here's the setup of the...

I haven't had a chance to look into this yet, typing up this question was as far as I'd gotten when I was pulled away. Roadkill, that sounds like another good place to start. Monsterjta, I'm going to have to check to see how the original policy was setup. We put it together over a month ago...

Ok, hardware info: Make: HP DL380, RAM:3GB ECC RAM, OS Array: 2 x 69GB SCSI Ultra 320 as one RAID1 volume Data Array: 4 x 69GB SCI Ultra 320 as one RAID5 Backup device: Exabyte XVA 1x10 1U SCSI (1 drive 10 tape changer) Tape drive attached to domain controller, backing up over 1gb...
