    Issues with completely replacing Domain Controller

    Nope, no Novell/Win2k interaction at all (other than backup exec remote agent to backup the win2k box to a novell backup media server). My main worry is migrating ms sql server correctly. Also, I hope I'm not leaving anything behind. Normally, I'd grab an image of the server. That's not...

    Issues with completely replacing Domain Controller

    Well, I do have (in this case) the luxury of having just a few client machines. I would think that if I disjoined (unjoined?) them from the domain before I kill the domain controller and then rejoin when the new dc comes up, I would be fine. Right?

    Issues with completely replacing Domain Controller

    I have a win2k server that has been severly comprimised (and has been for some time). Even though I have done the forensics and gotten the biggest problems taken care of, I do not hold any confidence in the security of this server. Soooo.... Here's what I'd like to do: This box's main...

    Server Migration

    Hey, never thought about that. Maybe I'll give it a try.

    Server Migration

    Yeah, I'm using the migration wizard for migrating data only. I'm not using it for NDS because(as far as I understand) you can't do the final migration without taking the old server completely out of production. I'd like to do a test migration to the new server and evaluate it for little while...

    Server Migration

    I've got a Netware 5.1 box. I need to migrate everything on it to new hardware. Environment is very simple, this is the only NW server we've got. It's serving up NDS, Groupwise, file services and print queue service. I've installed Netware on the new server. I plan on migrating the data by...

    Strangest Win2k problem I've seen

    OK, I solved it. Can't believe it, but I solved it. I've gotta describe the fix, 'cause it's good... After hours and hours of troubleshooting, the cause seemed to obviously be the registry, specifically the software hive which was a whopping 175mb in size. At first I didn't pay too much...

    Strangest Win2k problem I've seen

    Oh, forgot to mention... I get the blue screen before windows boots to GUI.

    Strangest Win2k problem I've seen

    The funny thing is, I am logging in as administrator. Still no luck. I'll be poking at it today. Any other ideas, folks?

    Strangest Win2k problem I've seen

    OK, I've got a good one I've been puzzling over for the past few days. I have an existing win2k server whose video card (Hercules 3d Prophet 4000 XT) needs to be replaced. When I pop in the new card (MSI nvidia based card) everything is fine until I install the new driver. After driver...

    Keeping GWIA loaded even with POA down

    Just tested it. If I disconnect that server from the network, GWIA almost immediately goes into a shutdown.

    Keeping GWIA loaded even with POA down

    I believe you're thinking of the GWIA being on the same machine. If the GWIA is run on a seperate box than the POA and MTA (I believe Novell calls this config "Remote"), and the POA goes down, then the GWIA will automatically exit not long after it loses connection with the post office. I'd...

    Keeping GWIA loaded even with POA down

    Ooh. How is it done? Do I have to load the gwia with certain switches?

    Keeping GWIA loaded even with POA down

    Hey there folks, I'm running GW 6.0, with the POA and MTA on our main server (NW 5.1)and the GWIA and Webaccess on a seperate server (NW 6.0). My question is this: Is there anyway to keep the GWIA loaded even if the POA is down? I've run into a few situations where the GWIA shut down...

    Missed Backup - How Do You Reschedule??

    Hmm... I don't see "Error handling" underneatht the tools menu in BE admin console.

    Missed Backup - How Do You Reschedule??

    Been using BE 9.0 for Netware for almost a year now. Overall, very satisfied with it...definitely better than our last backup program (Arcserve). One thing still eludes me, though. In a rotation job if, for some reason, a backup job does not complete correctly, how can you re-schedule it? It...

    Can I swap in a different motherboard without reinstalling NW?

    Well, I went in at an insanely early hour to swap out motherboards (without disrupting users) and the operations seems to have been a complete success! All seems well. Thanks for the response.

    Strange client problem

    Where might I check for this? BIOS or elsewhere? This Sounds possible, because the only XP machines (and the only ones with the problem) are all the same model with the same integrated NIC.

    Can I swap in a different motherboard without reinstalling NW?

    I have a cheapo netware 6 server (not actual server hardware, just a suped up PC) that I am having problems with. Shortly after installing netware 6 and spending a bunch of time on configuring services, I noticed it had problems with the keyboard locking up (caps lock light doesn't even work...

    NetWare 6 & Arcserve7

    Good move! We ditched Arcserve some months back and have had nothing but happiness with Veritas BE. Actually, since I've taken on the task of ridding my company of all Computer Associates products, life has been quite a bit better!
