If you don't have web access, apt-get will not be able to find anything from remote repositories. What kind of files are you looking to unpack? In most cases, 7zip will take care of any format you throw at it. https://packages.debian.org/sid/p7zip-full

I finally pointed the primary DNS on the Win 8 machine to the domain controller (and not the file server) and added Google as second (8.8.8.8). In the month that has passed since, not once have the drives dropped. I assume this is "solved".

Since the file server is not a DNS server, browsing the internet will probably break. I vaguly remember doing this (setting the only DNS server on the problem machine to point to the file server). I will refresh my memory by trying that again. Keep in mind that both Windows 7 and Windows XP...

MACHINES File Server: Windows 2003 Server Domain Controller: Windows 2003 Server Client: Windows 8.1 Pro PROBLEM The client is not a part of the domain which the file server and obviously the domain controller are. The mapped drives are added on the client using DOMAIN\User (along with...

I have an external hard drive installed on my file server with a shared folder where all the backups goes to every day. The backups are mainly from the file server itself, but also holds backups from various computers around the office. Since the backups are totaling a size that is not...

Thanks for the response. However, I am running a Terminal Server and the clients only use thin clients in order to log in to the TS. They are therefore not able to install any software on the server, nor on the thin clients, since they are strictly clients. However, I don't block any downloads...

If they all use normal amount of bandwidth, then I would not have any issues. However, my 8/1 cable connection is very sensitive when someone starts downloading files, and currently a steady 300-500KB/s down is in use which almost stalls the Internet usage for the rest of the users (for the rest...

How do I check how much bandwidth a user on a Terminal Server is using? Running a TS has many advantages, but the main disadvantage is the fact that they all use the same machine, hence the same IP. So how do I go about to check how much bandwidth each user is utilizing?

I personally have never used IE. I started with Netscape back in the day and later switched to Firefox. I don't even run Windows, and never will. However, tragic reality is that some sites that the employees at my company must use, are heavily based on ActiveX and other nonsense (such as...

Do you get the same message if you Start-Run and use this line in order to connect to the server <= SP2 mstsc /console /v:serverip If SP3 mstsc /admin /v:serverip

That worked perfectly. Thank you so much.

I am building a new Terminal Server and 2003 Server is the OS of choice. However, when I do the first initial update, IE8 is marked as a high-priority update and I am not given any choice of excluding it during the update. I can't use IE8 for compatibility reasons, and the Terminal Server will...

I wish I could make Firefox the default browser system wide, but 2 of the sites this company relies on does not work with FF. I hope that this changes with time since those sites are relatively old. However, I ended up rolling back to IE7 and everything seems to work like it should again. So by...

I upgraded Internet Explorer yesterday on my Terminal Server (Windows 2003) from version 7 to version 8. Ever since I did that, Excel and Outlook has been acting flaky, where Excel even freezes frequently. The issue I have with Outlook 2003 is that some businesses send full blown HTML messages...

I have a replica of the server. I managed after many tries (chkdsk was forced to run multiple times in a row) to run Ghost on the volume and pushed it to the other server. It has now been running in production for 5 hours without any of the previous issues that I had. So it looks like the issue...
