    Power lose and DAG reseeding advice

    Take a look at the following link: http://blogs.technet.com/b/timmcmic/archive/2011/07/12/exchange-2010-using-vss-to-perform-an-online-offline-database-seed.aspx While I haven't had the need to do so, it may be worth a shot. --------------------------------------- Bob Beck Systems Administrator

    desktop shortcut

    Briandr, The script should work fine in Windows 7. "AllUsersDesktop" is c:\users\public\desktop (assuming c: is your system drive) in Windows 7. The only thing you'll need to update is the path for Outlook, if that is different than what is currently in the script...

    desktop shortcut

    Just cleaned it up a bit, though I didn't test it as I don't have Office 2007 installed on my system. If this will be a login or startup script, you may want to consider adding some sort of error handling and logging to help troubleshoot and avoid any popups that could cause the script to stall...

    RDP into Windows 2008 Server and needed security

    If you only have a single subnet, I don't see any glaring problems with this. Keep in mind, if you have multiple subnets (e.g. multiple offices over a WAN) and you or anyone else ever needs to access the server from another subnet, you won't be able to directly. You would need to connect to...

    Server 2008 R2 Permissions

    Assigning NTFS permissions in 2008 is the same as 2003. Assigning share permissions is the same if you use the advanced sharing tab. As for the issue, whether it's 2003 or 2008, there is no way to handle this kind of granularity without scripting. However, for 20 folders, it would be quicker...

    Replacing the primary DC ? DHCP and DNS ?

    Sorry this post is late, but I figured I'd answer anyway, just in case. 1. Install DNS on DC3 and configure it for your domain. Configure Zone Transfers on the other DNS servers to allow them to transfer the zone(s) to the new server. This shouldn't take long to transfer. 2. For DHCP, see...

    Need to Increase Space on Drive

    What I've done in the past to free up some space would be to relocate some folders to the larger drive, e.g. the Software Distribution folder under c:\windows\system32. Then, I recreate the folder in the original location and create a junction to the new location. Windows then thinks it's saving...

    Text file size monitor

    I put together a quick, though not heavily tested script, that could do it for you. You'll need to make some changes for your environment. It's also only configured to check a local file. I'm sure there are improvements to me made as well. All you need to do is copy and save this as a .vbs file...

    Stop logon/logoff script when disconnected from network

    In Group Policy, navigate to Computer configuration->Administrative Templates->System->Scripts and configure the "Maximum wait time for Group Policy scripts" to something less than the default 600 seconds (10 minutes) setting. I chose 120 seconds (2 minutes) and I find that to be a reasonable...

    Deploy a logon script via gpo?

    Using vbscript, you can do the following: Set objNetwork = Wscript.CreateObject("WScript.Network") objNetwork.MapNetworkDrive "J:", "\\servername\sharename", "False", "username", "password" http://www.microsoft.com/technet/scriptcenter/guide/sas_wsh_peht.mspx?mfr=true The main issue is that...

    Joining AD domain

    If you're using dhcp, check the dhcp settings to ensure you set the dns server properly. If using static ip addresses, check your tcp/ip settings on the client for the dns server setting. --------------------------------------- Bob Beck Systems Administrator

    DNS entry for internal use of OWA?

    You'll want to create the A record for "mail" pointing to the internal address of your mail server. You are correct in your understanding. When you create the A record, you'll enter mail in the name (the FQDN will autopopulate, e.g. mail.ourdomain.com) and type in the IP address of the exchange...

    On Got Focus and on Click little bug

    Clicking on the text box gives the focus to that box, which executes the on got focus procedure. There shouldn't be a need to have Calendarfor([txtDOB]) in both procedures. --------------------------------------- Bob Beck Systems Administrator

    Open specific web page with IE, then print and close.

    You're welcome. I can't take credit for it, though. I found it on the internet a few years ago for another app I was working on. In any case, I'm glad it I could help. --------------------------------------- Bob Beck Systems Administrator
