The Situation: Anti-Apam software for some reason identified some legitimate emails (payroll stubs) as a SPAM outbreak and went through the INF Store and deleted all of the attachments on these emails. Arcserve document-level backup is run every Friday, but they weren't rotating tapes so the...
We have to restored our exchange database from a tape that is 3 days old. After doing so, and the Outlook clients reconnect with exchange, what will happen with the messages in outlook that are newer than the database. will they get synched to the server mailbox or will the server think they are...
I have installed terminal services on a Windows 2003 server and wanted to test out a few applications before purchasing licenses. According to what I had read in a Microsoft tech article, I was under the impression that I did not need to install the licensing server yet, that temporary licenses...
With regards to this comment from Dave Shackelford:
BTW, when I said "best," I said it because there's no good solution. You could create a whole separate mailbox that would be used by the second domain email account and give the first account send-as perms on it, and then you'd be able to...
Had an existing W2003 DC, and a separate member server Exchange 2003 server. One forest, one domain, one internet domain name. Needed to add a new, secondary internet domain name that certain users will need email addresses for. Created a new OU, new users, new recipient policy for that OU...
here's the report. The main difference between this policy and the store policy is allowing access to Control Panel, Printers.
Username = OPR427
PC Name = AA41
OU & Policy = WH
Domain = Domainname http://www.4shared.com/file/61350845/65831dab/opr427_on_AA41.html
yes, the policies are per user, not computer. I don't have a default policy that applies to everyone, just individual policies per OU and no policy for admin. If I log into that computer with a username from the "stores" OU, it applies the correct policies. if I login with the more restriced...
The store PCS are extremely locked down, so they can't change anything in Windows - just run the retail sql application they need. One example is printers. From the store PCs, they do not have the ability to get to Control Panel at all, never mind do anything with printers. The one PC in...
Windows 2003 SP2 server (single DC). Had previously setup an OU and GP for 8 PCs located in stores that needed to be very locked down. Now one of those PCs needs some additional functionality enable. I created a new OU and moved that user account into it. I am using GPM. I created a new policy...
A good consultant with spare time? That's an oxymoron - only bad consultants have spare time - LOL. Anyway, I've already "donated" at least a day of my time diagnosing the mess they were left with. Sure, rebuilding a server is easy, but getting all their ancient applications running again is a...
OK folks - I thank you for your assistance. I will give them the bad news. This is for a non-profit, so I was just trying to find a less expensive route for them than having to rebuild the server. Oh well...
Ok - I did the metadata cleanup, so AD on the 2000 server is now OK. But now I have this 2003 server that thinks it is still a domain controller but cannot be demoted. Is there anything else to be done with this 2003 server besides a complete re-install?
And thank you to everyone for your...
right now, all fsmo roles are back on the original 2000 server. I determined that by using ntdsutil on the 2000 server. (As an aside, when I tried to use the mmc snap-in, there was no "Active Directory Schema" snap-in when I clicked "add")Anyway, I tried demoting the 2003 server, but it failed...
Doing some more diagnostics:
dcdiag /v /test:fsmocheck
Domain Controller Diagnosis
Performing initial setup:
* Verifying that the local machine new-ymcaserver, is a DC.
* Connecting to directory service on server new-ymcaserver.
* Collecting site info.
* Identifying all...
Well, I have the old server behaving much better. So I tried to transfer the Operations master role to it, but I get an error that the current holder of that role can not be contacted. So I had to seize the roles. Now the old server has all of the roles. I'm going to leave it like that for now...
