Hello. I don't know whether the topic has been discussed here yet, but since the advanced search is undergoing some maintenance, I couldn't find what I needed. The situation is that I plan reimaging of about 100 workstations with SMS 2003 that are in a domain. The current deployment wasn't...

Thanks, I think it will help. --- Jordan Jordanov Network administrator Faculty of German Engineering Education and Industrial Management Technical University of Sofia, Bulgaria

Hello. I would like the system to change its IP address, netmask and gateway at logout/shutdown to fixed values, so that it remains usable in the domain. Some people need to change them for testing purposes, but forget to put back the original ones and as a result users can't log on anymore and...

Thanks. I did it with a startup script - ccmclean.exe thus uninstalling the client and then another installation. It's not the cleverest way, but it worked. :) --- Jordan Jordanov Network administrator Faculty of German Engineering Education and Industrial Management Technical University of...

Hi. I have the following issue. I have installed Systems Management Server 2003 in an active directory environment and then installed the Advanced client. I had the problem with the server showing that the clients are not installed, just Assigned:Yes. Then I decided to uninstall SMS (but the SMS...

I am trying to resolve a weird problem with the Automatic Updates on Windows Server 2003 (with SP1) using Windows Server Update Services. I have been wracking my brains for a month, but the provided solution is unfortunately not permanent. I know where the problem is, but I can't make it go away...

Thanks, I found very nice solutions there. --- Jordan Jordanov Network administrator Faculty of German Engineering Education and Industrial Management Technical University of Sofia, Bulgaria

Hello. I'd like to find a way to create a number of users in some organisational unit in Active Directory with the additional requirement that they all have random passwords set initially (say 6 characters long), which they are allowed to change at first logon. Probably this could be implemented...

Additionaly, the record you need to create should be an A (Answer) record. --- Jordan Jordanov Network administrator Faculty of German Engineering Education and Industrial Management Technical University of Sofia, Bulgaria

The first thing you could try is whether you operate the authoritative DNS servers for the appropriate arpa domain. Assuming you want to check the authoritative name server which has the reverse zone (if your network is for example 192.168.100.0/24), type the following (">" and "#" are command...

And if the user has the right to change the DNS servers he is using, then this has no effect, assuming that DNS traffic to external servers from the clients has not been blocked. --- Jordan Jordanov Network administrator Faculty of German Engineering Education and Industrial Management...

Are you sure you changed all adresses to the new ones? Along with the standart A, CNAME, MX, PTR records it is essential for the work of Active Directory that you also change the SRV records. And to be absolutely sure that you've changed every old IP address to the new one you could also look up...

Well, you are actually given exactly a half of what is called a class C-sized network, with 126 hosts. The subnet mask should be 255.255.255.128 or with prefix /25, not /26. In order to delegate you only the arpa domain for your hosts, your provider created the domain 128.55.158.72.in-addr.arpa...

Usually you would want to add an alias to the existing configuration of the virtual host, so that the same virtual host is assumed when you type www.mydomain.com and mydomain.com. This should be available for configuring somewhere in the IIS. --- Jordan Jordanov Network administrator Faculty...

Usually you would want to create A records. An A record maps a domain name to the corresponding IP address. A CNAME record maps a domain name to another domain name (also called an "alias"). This means that with CNAME you can have e.g. two domain names pointing to a single IP address. Example...

Sorry, ignore my previous post. I think your domain is not correct. For the classless IN-ADDR.ARPA delegation to work properly there must be CNAME records pointing to the seperate domain for the PTR records. Have a look at this: # dig -t cname 130.55.158.72.in-addr.arpa ; <<>> DiG 9.2.1 <<>>...

Quite strange... Actually I even can't get the name servers authoritative for the domain. Here's what I get: # dig -t ns 128-26.55.158.72.in-addr.arpa. ; <<>> DiG 9.2.1 <<>> -t ns 128-26.55.158.72.in-addr.arpa. ;; global options: printcmd ;; Got answer: ;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status...

Could You place here the content of the zone so that we can figure out whether there is a lame delegation or other misconfigured element? --- Jordan Jordanov Network administrator Faculty of German Engineering Education and Industrial Management Technical University of Sofia, Bulgaria

I am utterly confused by the following problem: a domain user logs on and gets his home folder connected each time at logon - drive letter Z:\ to \\server\homes\username. The permissions on the folder are set so that the user is granted full control of the folder and all other users can only...

No, they have only accounts on the domain. I think there should be some way to enable this without granting the user full administrator rights. --- Jordan Jordanov Network administrator Faculty of German Engineering Education and Industrial Management Technical University of Sofia, Bulgaria
