    Changing domain

    Check the DSN settings on the PCs to make sure they are using the new domain DNS server(s). Run dcdiag from the remote site dcdiag /s:(dc_server_name) to test the directory service from the remote location. If you pass try joining again.

    Network Share Permissions

    I like following the 2nd option. Yes it does take a little more time to do, but my feeling is that it's worth the effort.

    Active Directory problem...repair options

    I have a ton of info on the renaming and I'm setting up in the lab right now to test out the process. I'm not really afraid of it, but I would love to hear about different scenarios. I have been mulling the idea of a completly new domain, but I think there would be too many isssues, I have...

    Active Directory problem...repair options

    I have a Windows 2000 Domain that was created incorrectly and has been in service for a couple of years now. It is Native mode. The domain was created with a single level name and it has created issues for newer clients and servers. DNS was a mess and AD was in very bad shape. I was able to...

    Anyone use GFI mail security?

    Hi Paul I use this product and I like it quite a bit. There are a few controls in it that allow you to tailor it and its very effective. When it expires all you get are tags on the mail, so I would strongly reccomend getting the license. IIR, it isn't all that expsensive. The reports are...

    explain how "DNS" works

    You probably don't have to worry about domain forwarding...you only need that if the domain address resolves to a location other than the server you want it to. This has nothing really to do with DNS hosting. The term DMS comes from Korea and the Demiltiterized Zone (DMZ). Basically anything in...

    Trying to resolve a TS Printing issue

    There is a cool utility call TQ RunAs. It is great for working around these types of issues. Basically it replaces the executable with its own sript like file and you can set the user permissions, in this case it could be an administrator. The benefit here is that you run the app with admin...

    GPO with Terminal Services, HELP PLZ URGENT

    A couple of things to check. Try using the IP Address to the terminal server...does it work then? If so, you have a DNS conflict and you are getting the wrong server using www. gpupdate doesn't come with WIndows 2000, try a re-start of the server. Are you using a roaming profile for...

    Terminal Services - MSAccess Vs. Printers.

    I would suggest using something like the filemon and regmon utilities. Filemon can be run from a seperate session. Log in from someplace as a non-admin user. Start filemon from your admin session and then run access and the application you need to run, let it fail. Go back to filemon and review...

    Good alternative to terminal services?

    The solution you seek may be more that one thing. Security is best done in layers, each one with a specific purpose, and it should start at your firewall. MS has quite a bit of info for securing terminal services, and the application of good security and user tights restriction can go a long...

    AD says a computer is a "container"

    A computer can contain other objests in AD. Look inside to see what it contains, and make sure you are accessing the correct object.

    DFS and Mappin g Drives.

    When mapping a drive in Windows like this, it is normal to see that. If the link was Users then it would be normal to see it as Users on 'domainname\dfsroot\dfslink (x). The reason for this is so the share shows up first and users can easily distinguish drive mappings.

    changing partition size

    If the drive is set up as dynamic and the available space is on the same drive, then yes, you can use Windows 2000 disk management tools to expand the c: partition onto the remaining space. If the second drive/partition is in the machine, the apps may or may not work, you might have to make...

    Blocking messenger

    How are you sharing an internet connection? Is it a high speed connection cable/dsl? If so, chance are you have a firewall/router in use to share it. If so, you should be able to access it following the instructions for the device. If you are using Windows ICS, I suggest looking into IPSec...

    how to know the bit system

    Unless you are running a 64 bit processor, such as an AMD64 chip, then you are definitely running a 32 OS. Still, you can be running AMD64 and still have a 32 bit os, because it supports 32 bit x86 natively. How can you tell the difference? I think the only retail Windows OS to run 64 bit, is...

    Are you using Windows 2000 or 2003/XP for administration? If you are using XP you can download the GPO MMC snap-in. In any case, open up AD Users and Computers. Right click on the domain and select connect to domain. Yor Domain Controllers should be in the list, select the PDC emulator and see...
