    How to stop/restart a workstation serivce using NAL

    I am implementing a SUS server for our 1700 workstations. It's the company standard. I've been using ZEN/Nal for awhile, I'm currently using ZEN 4. I've figured out the registry hacks for SUS, but when I blow this down to the client I first have to stop a service (wuauserv) and then restart it...

    NT4 domain to XP pro workstation question

    I have an NT4 domain, with NT4, W2K and 3 W2K3 member servers. I got in a new shipment of desktop pc's and they have XP pro on them. I configured them the way we normally do. Loaded necessary software and all was well. Last step, I went to manage the local pc, we make a particular NT domain...

    New to the desktop support job

    Thanks Linney! I'll take a look at these and see. In part, we are trying to lock down the desktop to avert some of the nasty viruses (virii?) that roam about. Scott "It's not that I do my best work under pressure, it's that I ONLY work under pressure!"

    New to the desktop support job

    Greetings! I'm Scott, new to desktop support in my work. I have 155 pc's with XP to roll out. I'd like users to be only users, not local admins, but I need Outlook 2000, Office (probably 2000) and some other programs to work. I also didn't realize if I install a printer as an admin, the user...

    Event ID 1160

    I have a fairly large exchange box (600+ users and over 7 gig of database). My problem is "a number of users" (myself included) opened outlook this morning, clicked on the inbox and it was grayed out. Clicked on the Outlook today bar and back to the inbox and it seems to work. I sync...

    Ghosted from Dell C610 to C640

    I ghosted (using tcp/ip) from one laptop to another and things seem to work. However, the mouse freezes or stops moving sometimes and the audio keeps cutting in/out. Any Ideas? "It's not that I do my best work under pressure, it's that I ONLY work under pressure!"

    Should I wait

    Dave and MidwestAdmin, I am going to use Microsoft's freebee this next week to show my boss (and his boss). I am still interested in looking at your's Dave, as it's a real system rather than a MS one. If it's okay, I would like to keep talking with you guys about Exchange and Windows networks in...

    Should I wait

    Dave (affy1977) I joined this thread a little late. I am currently part of a 2500+ user Novell NDS network and the corp has decided to move to AD 2003. I think this is a great move for the corporation. We are moving to AD2003 to run Exchange 2003. I did visit your website and was very...

    Misrepresented amount of RAM

    I have installed 2003 Enterprise on a Compaq (HP) DL 380 with 6 Gig of RAM. BIOS counts 6 Gig. W2K3 loads and runs, but my problem is when you click on (goto) My Computer and look at the "general" info tab, it only show 3.75 Gig. Has anyone else seen this? If this is a "bug&quot...

    How do I start using Wise and what Suite do I d/l?

    I'm a network engineer by trade (started with DOS) and have never really done any "programming". I can write a pretty mean batch file, but it's just simple stuff. Anyway, Windows is obviously here to stay... so I've been reading about using an installer to assist me in application...

    Citrix and DNS

    Hey, We are having some weird issues with Citrix and I'm wondering if it's the fact that we radically changed our DNS. How much does DNS play in the Citrix factor? If my farm is named FRED_FARM, does FRED_FARM have to have a DNS entry? and if my farm is 8 servers, which ip address do I use for...

    Session Quits right after I start it

    Mike, sorry it has taken me so long to answer your questions, it's been a bad hair month. The applications, 99% of them, have a application/data server and the citrix servers are just go betweens. I don't think it's rights, because I'm a Domain Admin/Novell admin and I get the same problems. The...

    Session Quits right after I start it

    We are using Citrix XP on top of W2K servers. All has seemed well, but this has reared it's ugly head. We've published applications and desktops. Any user (including admins) log in no matter what server, it logs you in, doesn't start the application, then logs you out. It doesn't seem to happen...

    Novell vs NT

    Ladyhawk, I am in a mixed environment. Novell 4.2, 5.1 and 6, plus an NT4 domain and Windows 2000 servers. I have about 3500+ users, 1900 workstations and servers ranging from a (ack! workstation PII/233 w/64 meg) to a DEC Alpha. I am moving from Zenworks 3.2 to 4. I currently have eDirectory...

    Exchange 5.5 Information store size/Mailbox size limits

    to itadmin88. I made my case for, "if we get sued, and we have to produce old emails they only go back 60 days" (personally, I'd like to make it 30 days) Our corp lawyers agreed as they didn't want trails of emails. I've also gone from like a 2 gig private store to 4.3 gig and I...

    A .adm or a policy to turn on a screen saver

    Greetings. I'm moving from ZFD3.2 to ZFD4. and I'm having a terrible time with wanting to push a policy (reg hack) to turn on a screen saver at all the desktops. It's for WIndows 9x, NT, 2000 and XP. I've looked through (I think) all the .adm files and even looked at some old ones, but I can't...

    Exchange 5.5 Information store size/Mailbox size limits

    What happened to the "Best Business Practice" of NOT keeping emails for an eternity? I thought the whole idea of email was just like a one time shot. Are there any white papers on best standards? In my case, now that our local IS in in charge of email, EVERYONE needs email! I have over...

    Anti Virus on Exchange Servers

    I'm using McAfee Outbreak manager 4.6.188 and it seems to be running fine (though Arcserve doesn't play well with others). It seems to catch viruses and reports/cleans them well. Our Exchange servers just went into production (W2k Server, Exch 5.5) and the priv.edb file is less than 2 gig...

    Exchange 5.5 Information store size/Mailbox size limits

    Okay, I'm the new guy, but here goes. We've just moved 1500 users from ccmail to exchange 5.5/outlook 2000. Across the board, 40meg mailbox gets the warning, 50 meg stops the send process. I've had a handful of users having issues, but they would have issues breathing if it wasn't for the...

    Public Folders and Forms

    ...a held desk ticket. I've been reading the 5.5 admin guide, but have somehow lost the bubble. Here's the question: If a programmer makes a form (*.oft) and gives it to me on a disk, how to I get it into the right place? I've made the subfolders, I just can't seem to manage forms/public folders...
