hence why it's so important to practise restores. Backup ain't very reliable but if you know the pit falls you can be successful with it.

looks like you someone with more radius experience than me. good luck! Dave

on your machine do an "ipconfig /flushdns", you may have cached the incorrect DNS entry before you added the nas to your DNS server.

make sure the nas device is added to your DNS server.

run the ping command (against your servers) again when the drives are disconnected!

I agree with Empmark completely

Don't quite understand what you are doing. Can you elaborate? Here's what I think so far. The IAS server is a radius server, used to authenticate "remote" users on your network, the radius server will I think authenticate users who conect to a specific IP, if your server has 2 IP's, one...

when you say you have to re-map the drives do you mean they dissapear or they don't work? If they don't work what error are you receiving (no rights, no permissions etc.)? Are you runnig offline files? Are you on a wireless connection, if so maybe the wireless is dropping out and your pc is...

If you don't have any backups then a full instalation will probably be the only way. You will then have to do a dcpromo and recreate the domain, you'll then have to re-create the user accounts and then re-install exchange. Unless you can fix the hive I can see no other way.

I have a RAID 5 Array on an "HP 641 smart array controller" with 2 partitions. 1 partition is the OS, the other is shared data. The OS has been successfully restored using symantec Livestate onto the 1st partition.

Hi Stiddy, not had time to try it yet but would the script also work for Windows XP machines? Dave

Hi Shane, out of curiosity can you tell me why you prefer Acronis? What functionality or improvements over LiveState does it have? It does look promising but I've never used it, I may get it if it's better than LiveState. thanks Dave

Hi Stiddy, sorry I've been unable to try it, I've been working on another project, when I get into work on Monday I'll give it a go. Thanks for your help Dave

Hi Stiddy, I'm only looking to change the name on member servers, I've to create a script which will quickly rename about 400 servers which are all imaged. the administrator name and password will be the same on all servers. Don't worry about domain names or anything, none of these servers are...

hi folks, does anyone know how to change from a command prompt the name of a windows 2003 server? could this be put into a script or batch file? cheers Dave

just read your post properly, sorry. Yes you are correct, you can restore the image to another server, as long as the new server had the exact same hardware.

No, unfortunatly the hardware needs to be exactly the same, so it would be wise to build your server farm with identical servers and buy spares for them.

Correct. Livestate can backup partitions though. In my enviroment I have all the OS's on smallish sized partitions (10GB to 30GB), the data is on the rest of the disk. Livestate backs up the OS and I use backup exec for the data. Livestate can also chop up the image file to smaller sizes so you...

The Syamntec product that backs up Windows 2003 Server is called LiveState. I use it and it's great, it not only takes full images but incremental ones as well. I use it in conjunction with veritas to ensure all my systems are backed up. Another great function of this software is that you can...
