Thanks, I'll give it a try this weekend. The weekend is the only time where backups are not running.

Arcserve 2K sp4 on Win2k Sp3 using Dell PC132t library I've been seeing an error in the activity log over the past couple of days that I have not been able to rid of. I have two jobs that run overnight backing-up about 3 terabytes of data from 36 servers. As each server is completed AS2K puts...

If you are still interested I wrote an NT/2K command file (batch file) that calls a VBScript to do what you need, I have this set up on both my old MF 1.8 boxes and my XP boxes to kick users off at a specific time so I can run nightly processing. the command file loks like this FOR /F "skip=1...

Thanks for the answer, I just found out there is an offsite DR test set up sometime in the next couple of weeks so I've got to get your idea tested by the end of next week, If your example works it will save me hours of work. Thanks again

Hope someone can help me with this. The DBA who set up our SQL server left the company and they want me to set up a DR plan for all our servers. I have created and tested plans for both our NT and 2K server which work but I have no knowlege of how to re-create the SQL server on different...

Been there done that, I had to migrate the data from a remote office which used Netware, I was lucky the previous Admin had built a Netware server and I used that for the restore then did a robocopy overnight to the Windows server.

We recently did exactly the same thing, we went from a TL891 to a Dell PV132T with 2 LTO-2 drive, my throughput remained about the same and yes the cost of the individual tapes is higher but I use only 3 tapes each night to backup 2 terabytes of data on 6 servers as opposed to 10 DLT-iV tapes so...

I will probably start building my 'Case' in the next couple of week since I just found out iI only have until August to get the apps cleand up. Thanks again

Thanks for the answer The apps a legacy apps the use NTVDM extensivly, when we tested these apps on an XP server running under Win2K3 they either bombed outright or refused to run. When we contacted the vendors they told us flat out the apps would not run in this configuration. Some of these...

Have you looked into creating a batch file using XCOPY and putting it in the scheduler? We do something like this here. I don't have access to that machine right now but it's something like NET USE X: \\servername\sharename XCOPY c: X: /V we use the /V to verify the data copied correctly...

I have a combination Command file/VB script that generates what you need and more. In my command file I use the USRSTAT command from the resource kit and pipe it to a data file, I then parse this file in the script and write everything I need to an excel spreadsheet. The information I gather...

If you are looking for the syntax of any native NT command try www.ss64.com, I have found some obscure command syntax at this site

Thanks for the answer it clears up the issue for us, I should have mentioned we are still on Arcserve 2000 SP4, since our IT has been outsourced there has been no discussion about upgradings. Thanks again

Hello all I have two libraries, one is a Powervault 132T with two LTO drives, the other is a Compaq with two DLT IV drives. Each library is on its own controller since one is HVS and the other is LVS. I tried to use the TAPECOPY utility that came with Arcserve 2000 but have been unsuccessfull...

I agree with MikeBatters, also you sould look into a scripting tool such as KIX or scriptlogic. We use KIX at our site and have 35 citrix servers and 14 file/app servers. We set up the users in usermanager with specific home folders then map their drives depending on what group they belong to...

Hope someone can help. I inherited a Metaframe 1.8 farm that has 5 servers that are access by a remote office through Nfuse 1.61. Although I would like to upgrade there are legacy apps that will not work in an XP environment. The structure is as follows 5 Citrix MF 1.8 server the first server...

Thanks guys, the only question I have is I am still running in an NT domain, we have not created an AD forest yet, will these suggestions still work? I assume I would have to resister the AdsSecurity.dll before I could use MisterNiceGuy's suggestion. Thanks again

I have a project to retrieve the properties of a particular executable stored on our file servers. What I am trying to find out is if the access to the file has been set to the group "Authenticated Users" instead of "Everyone". I have looked all over the web and all through the Microsoft site...

I have a similar problem, but in addition I now can't start the database engine, it continually times out. Anyboby have an idea as to where to look? thanks

Hate to burst your bubble but I don't think you will find much out on the web for DR with NT. The first time I did this at our DR providers site they gave me a document to follow that was written by IBM. Since that time they have updated the document but we have found it to work well but you...
