Whoops almost forgot, I ran Ethereal and sniffed packets for a while. I noticed my computer was trying to connect to \\fsapps which is the offending server. It looks like it is looking for the old application share \\fsapps\Apps using SMB/CIFS. Trans2 Request, GET_DFS_REFERRAL, File...

We still have the physical server but it is turned off. We have a virtual server that is a replacement for the physical one, it has the same server name. We first noticed this happening when the network card on the virtual server was turned off, this is when we realized as long as there is...

We had an application/file server that is running windows server 2003. The server has always just been a member server. We had some issues with cpu load on the server so we have moved all data/programs to a virtual(vmware) server and all of that is working good. But we just noticed that if we...

We have Windows server 2003 in a domain environment, users have mapped drives to our data server for accessing client files. I would like to know if there is anyway at all to prevent users from copying ANYTHING from that mapped drive to their local disk? They have to be able to access the files...

Thanks for the replies but I ended up just using a Software restriction policy and hashed the programs that I wanted to block.

Yea, I am aware that I can do that. I will go into a little more detail on what I am trying to do. I want to block all msn traffic on our domain by adding certain dns entrys for the hostnames that msn connects to and point them to 127.0.0.1. If I do this through the snap in it automatically adds...

I am trying to find out domainname.dns file on our internal dns server. It is set to store in active directory. I can find our 10.168.192.in-addr.arpa.dns file no problem under C:\WINDOWS\System32\dns. Any idea how I can manually edit the forward lookup zone file? Thanks Kyle P

We have a folder with 1 subfolder inside and a couple of excel spreadsheets. We need one user to be able to make changes to ONE spreadsheet without being able to do anything else inside the folder. We have got it to the point where the user can make changes to the file but excel creates a...

This would work ok but out Group Policy will just change the local policy when ever they are in the office. is there any other way?

Is there a way using the net user command to select the "Password never expires" checkbox on the user properties? For the longest time I though /expires:never was the solution but just recently found out that was for the user account not to expire and had nothing to do with the password. Any...

Hey thanks a lot for the help loopback processing works great, exactly how you said. I can have both user and computer settings applied in the same gpo and applied to one computer and any user who logs on gets those user settings. Thanks again.

Thanks for the fast replys, The users who would be logging on to these laptops would be using their own domain accounts which is why I didnt want to put the users under that ou as well. I dont want to start having users and computers under the same ou but what I should do is seperate the user...

I have a set of laptops that we hand out to people and would like to have them locked down as much as possible. I don't quite understand if you can have user and computer settings configured in the same gpo. The policy is applied to an ou with the floater laptops sitting in that ou. Do I also...

We are using Citrix presentation server 4.0 and we were using the web interface to launch programs. The linux thin client has many issues with any program that uses the system tray, which makes sense since the window manager on the linux ones is only QVWM and it doesnt have systray support. We...

Thanks for the reply, our requirments are that we just have published applications and not the desktop so this eliminates the linux based thin clients since a few of our published apps do not work correctly on the linux ones. Should we maybe take a look into publishing a desktop instead?

I was just wondering if there is absolutely any reason to join a XP Embedded thin client to a domain? As far as I can tell, there doesn't seem to be any reason I would have to do that. Also, I am looking for opinions on XPE or linux embedded thin clients. It seems to me that the XPE clients work...

I have found a script at http://www.mcpmag.com/columns/article.asp?EditorialsID=619 which will allow me to enable/disable a network connection. <package> <comment> NICToggle.wsf This script looks at your ‘Local Area Connection’ and enables it if disabled, disables it if enabled. </comment>...

I am also having some issues setting up an ad-hoc network, I have never really worked with wireless before and I dont quite understand what is going on. So I create a adhoc network on one laptop but nothing happens unless I connect to the network I just created on the same laptop. This is the...

I was told that I shouldnt change anthing under X400 in the Email Addresses tab but that is where the spelling mistake is. Is there anywhere else where I would have to change the spelling mistake?

I set up a user account and mailbox for a new employee without noticing I spelt her name wrong. I just noticed that in the outlook address book her name is spelt wrong, is there an easy way to change this? I am not too familiar with exchange but in postfix all I would have to do is change the...
