To Zmann: I was going to set up a lab unit to test the scenerio you have described about tranferring the FSMO roles from an SBS2000 server. Just by chance I saw your thread here. Have you actually seen this work? I was wondering if the SBS server would actually give up the roles. I would willing...

Windows 98 should have retained the original PST files. Are you sure the PST was local? Some users locate their PSTs in their home directory (old server). Is exchange the mail server or do the clients just use internet mail with Outlook? Jim - Synnex Info Tech

Where does the master browser get its info. Broadcast, DNS, WINS?. Double check the wins entry. If the 2000 machines are OK, then the XP should work fine. XP does not bind netbios by default. Check tcp/ip - advanced - wins tab - look to see if netbios is checked. If the network is depending on...

Locator problem. XP client should point to server for DNS. Server should be set to forward unresolved to ISP. If DNS is not configured, you can check the box for netbios on the TCP/IP/advanced/wins tab on both machines, and probably get by. Jim - Synnex Info Tech

The fact that someone can reach the messaging service from the internet is not good. Get behind NAT or get port 139 closed. Have someone do a port scan from the outside to see what else is open. Jim - Synnex Info Tech

2 minute delay would indicate that the workstation is having to build the browse list by broadcast. If you have WINS running on the server, check active registrations by right-clicking in the WINS console - find by owner - all ownwers - find now. IF the wrkstations are registering with WINS they...

The ns1.flyingcroc.com server is probably more than just their DNS. If it were a normal DNS request, you wouldn't get the message. (I assume you don't get these messages when you browse other sites). They are probably trying to exploit the windows messaging service with an ad or worse. I'm not...

The 2000 server probably does not have netbios bound to TCP/IP. The 98 machines depend on this as a last-resort for domain location. If you have WINS configured on the 2K server, this should take care of the problem. Use the domain's netbios name instead of the FQDN when specifying domain on the...

Policies are being applied now because the workstation can find the SRV records in your DNS. DHCP was apparently not supplying the DNS local address properly. Necessary for policy. Jim - Synnex Info Tech

One of the machines on your network has made the request apparently. Tell me more about your connection. Are you using 2k server for your workstation? Are you behind NAT or using a public address? Jim - Synnex Info Tech

All the things you have described should not be happening. Need a little more info. From the command line get an "ipconfig /all" from a workstation. See if the DNS points outside or inside. If inside is providing DNS, get the config from that device too. Then we can get an idea of what...

I'm pretty sure an "over the top install" would be fatal(eventually) - although I don't know of anyone who has actually tried it. Good luck. Jim - Synnex Info Tech

I worked a call today with the same problem. If the service records are missing in DNS, or if the client isn't pointing to a DNS server in the domain that has access to those records, the policy will not apply. I wooda thunk differently - but it's true. I tip my hat to Charlie. Jim - Synnex Info...

Insufficent privilege is usually the problem. Make the user a power user of the machine. If it is a domain member, and the user is logging into the domain, make sure to add his domain account to the local power users group. Jim - Synnex Info Tech

Following dankelt's post should have resolved the problem. Did you run the netdiag utility. What were the verbosed results. If you didn't use the utility, download it from the link in this document (near the bottom) and run it. http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=KB;EN-US;q265706 Jim...

The system event log keeps a running record of "application pop-ups" caused by the messaging service. It includes the sending node's IP address. I agree with other posts that include enforcing domain policy (if applicable). I sent an e-mail to everyone in my domain establishing the...

These are usually link problems. The server seems ok since everyone else can hit it. Test ping with fixed packet size to see if there is a problem along the route(Q274805). Problems like that go away sometimes ... and return sometimes, all by themselves. Jim - Synnex Info Tech

After confirming that the 60x clients can connect to the server, check for the existence of routes to each subnet with the "route print" command line. The routes should already be listed for any directly connected interfaces. Add the route if necessary with the destination subnet for...

You do not want NAT or ICS on either interface. Lets make sure I have it right. You have 2 internal LAN segments connected to your server. You want the server to route the communications from one segment to the other. Is this correct? One segment is the 60.x.x.x and the other is 192.x.x.x...

There are still some references to the old DC remaining in AD, probably the RID trying to replicate. Use the following link for info on cleanup. http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;Q247393 There is a small article on the 16650 here...
