Yes, that is a viable answer to the inbound DNS failover problem. Thanks for the suggestion. I know that No-IP.com has something like a 5 minutes TTL, so that should be fine. Of course, we will still need the hardware to do the outbound failover and manage the two WAN links, and that purchase...

Aha... I was just looking through the properties of "Domain Users" in ADSIEdit, and I noticed that the "member" property is listed as "<Not Set>" (i.e. empty), whereas that same property of other groups contains the explicit list of group members... I checked this against a couple other 2003...

Ah yes, I didn't have "Advanced Features" checkmark on in ADUC, so I couldn't see the Security tab on the group objects... I just turned it on, and compared its security settings with another group that's working fine, both with the script and in Outlook... no differences. And I verified that...

Woops, I just looked back at your original suggestion, and I missed that you did originally declare the group object as objItem... I replaced that line in your suggestion with mine, since it was already there, and I didn't notice the different variable names until the script complained. I...

Right, I should have been clearer, but I was referencing the "for each" line, since that's where your original suggested script puked. Bygones. Actually, I'm very sure that this will make no difference. Did you read the part in my original post where I described how I changed the group name...

Interesting suggestion. :) First, I'm assuming that you meant "objGroup", not "objItem" (which isn't declared anywhere else in your suggestion). With that correction: Nope. No error, just silent exit. I'm guessing that the objGroup.Members array (?) is empty. Got a quick way to check its...

I'm writing a quick VBScript using the ADSI scripting stuff that is designed to loop through the members of "Domain Users", adding each one to a second group (long story). I'm running into some trouble with it though, and I think it may have to do with the security permissions/ACLs on the...

I'm toying with a VBScript using the ADSI scripting stuff that runs every night and loops through the members of "Domain Users", adding each one to the target group. I'm running into some trouble with it though, but I'm going to start a new thread, since I think it's a separate issue. Thanks...

Yeah, that's a good workaround, but really not all that much simpler than just adding the new user to the group directly after creation... Especially since there are already more groups to add each user to at that point anyway (potentially different for each user though). So is this not a...

I'm not sure if this belongs here, or in the Exchange Server 2003 forum, so let me know: I have an Active Directory 2003 domain, and I have a situation where I'd like all new users to automatically be added to a Global Distribution Group upon creation. I'm curious if there's any way to set an...

To tell you the truth, if our ISPs were that willing to cooperate and fill our needs, we could probably just get the T-1 to be stable and we wouldn't have to spend $3000 on Cisco hardware to make this work. ;) As it is, they know that they are the "only game in town" and we are stuck with them...

Nah, that's WAY more than our ISPs will do. I'm going to "keep it simple, stupid" and just go with a script that switches the DNS records for the servers in question based on the WAN link that's active at that time. If I keep the DNS TTL values low (i.e. 5 minutes or so), we should be able to...

Well, actually, it's both. But the latter is definitely posing a bit more of a challenge. :) Regards, Jon Heese

Yeah, I already shot down the round robin idea because it isn't "smart" enough... Instead, I think I'm going to go with low DNS TTLs and a script that swaps out the A records on the DNS server as the links go up and down. Thanks! Regards, Jon Heese

Actually, I was just thinking about round-robin DNS with some SRV entries to give a higher preference to the T-1 IPs... Does that make sense? Regards, Jon Heese

Is the SonicWall TZ170 capable of being assigned multiple public IPs for each WAN link? eg: Say the T-1 IPs are 1.2.3.[1-4] and the DSL IPs are 4.3.2.[1-4], and the 2 WAN interfaces on the SonicWall are eth0 and eth1. Can I do this: eth0:1 - 1.2.3.1 (NAT to server1) eth0:2 - 1.2.3.2 (NAT to...

So you mean a single firewall device with 8 public IPs (2 for each server)? Regards, Jon Heese

Yes, I've worked with the RV082 and RV042 before; see my previous post above about it. I'm not sure that this really addresses the issue though... Remember that I have 4 (1 ISA and 3 web/TS/Exchange) servers and ~15 workstations here... Each of the servers must be publicly addressable, and...

Sounds interesting, but also out of the price range of this company. What kind of price range are we talking for one such device? Model number? My experience with Cisco devices is limited to the PIX 501, so I am far from an expert when it comes to configuring such a device. Is this something...

I'm specifically wondering how to differentiate between the services (i.e. Web, Terminal Services, etc.) being served on the same port across all three machines if they're only accessible behind a NAT device. Example: If I want to hit a website on server1, I go to...
