Just took the 70-291 exam on Thursday at first attempt and got 760... Not as good as my 70-290 score (899) but didnt really care as I knew it was a harder exam - and who uses RRAS? :) Key points - RRAS, WSUS and DNS. For me, I worked through the 70-291 course materials (using post-it notes to...

Im sitting 291 on Thursday, so thanks for your advice. Passed 290 a few weeks back so just plodding through them. As far as Study material goes.. Nothing substitutes for actually doing it. If you havent got VMware yet for testing then get it (Server is free). Set up a load of servers and...

I'll try it with a few test laptops to see what happens - off our main network.. Cheers NP

The query I have is whether the PC's set to 1500mtu connected to ports at 1500mtu will have problems when they try to connect to our filer (which will have an mtu size of 6000 on a port set to 6000).. Cheers NP

Thanks for that.. So if I ensure that all Switches in the path to the server are set to support 6000, would our clients be ok connecting at 1500? I dont want to increase our client PC's mtu - just servers that our backup server tries to connect to (all on our LAN). Cheers NP

Hi all, I was considering increasing the MTU size on our backup server to maybe 6000 (from its default of 1500) to try to increase throughput. I was wondering what effect (on the rest of the network) increasing the MTU size on the switch ports used our the backup server (used to connect to its...

Hi all, I have set up a failover cluster of 2 Windows 2003 Enterprise 64bit R2 Servers and all seems to be working fine.. I have one query though.. During the inital setup, I selected majority node set (not much use as I only have 2 servers). Since installation I have created a Quorum drive...

Hi there, Thanks for the reply.. Its the number of sessions we have - it seems too many. I would have thought that the only thing there should be proxy clients. I cannot see why the ISA server would be used by any clients as a default gateway.. Will have to check this out. Cheers A

Hi all, Need a bit of help with this one.. Can anyone tell me why some of my clients to ISA Server 2006 have session types with both SecureNAT and Webproxy? Is secureNAT required by all clients when they access the Internet? Do they need SecureNAT at all? Can I get away with forcing my...

If you decide to go for a tool, whatever you do DONT USE Profile Wizard. We tried it for some of our users and it caused problems with their profiles.. I would just copy their current profile over the top of their new profile when you log onto the new domain. Its a bit of a pain and takes a...

Hi all We are vitualising our old NT4 servers (they are soon to be decomissioned) however I cant remember how to copy DNS from one NT4 server to another - and I dont want to have to enter it from scratch. Can anyone tell me how to copy DNS from one NT4 server to another NT4 server? Cheers Ax

Thanks for the reply. I'll be sure to do that, thanks! Is there any particular order I need to change domain membership in? Any requirement to convert eg the Data Collector first or last etc? Is the job as 'simple' as just ensuring the permissions are correct then changing domains? Many...

Hi all, We have about 6 servers in a Citrix PS4 farm which are pointing to an old (soon to be decommissioned) windows NT4 domain. We are running a Windows 2003 AD infrastructure alongside, with a trust between the NT4 and 2003 AD Domains. My question is on the procedure for changing domains on...

Hi all, Having a strange problem on a Windows 2003 server. When you go into the regional and Language options, the Standards and Formats drop down box does not contain any options. It is blank. I have managed to change the settings to UK, English in the registry, but there is still something...

Hi all. Have a newly built Windows 2003 server which has a strange problem. When you click on 'Regional and Language options' and look at the top dropdown box, it is blank and the dropdown is blank too - with nothing to select. The bottom dropdown box (location) is populated with United...

Ahh, thanks for the info.. We just have to associate EmployeeID with our user objects. Cheers NP:

Hi all Does anyone know whether it is possible to customize the user object fields in Active Directory. For example, I would like to change the OFFICE field on the General tab (of a user object) to read 'EMPLOYEE NUMBER' (Or whatever). The column heading would need to read EMPLOYEE NUMBER too...

Hi all, We have an AD forest with top level domain. Below that we have 5 more domains. I have control of one of these lower level domains and was wondering whether it was possible to turn off KCC on our domain (leaving it as it is in the rest of the forest). Even better would be to be able to...

Thanks for the reply - I'll have a look into it! Cheers NP

Hi all Quick query. Does anyone know where the defaults for user creation are stored for AD (in Windows 2003 server). When I create a user in AD (using the wizard) when I enter the first name and Last Name the full name is prepopulated and has the format; Lastname, Firstname (Note the...
