    Troubleshooting Authentication

    You don't need backwards compatibility to logon from a NT member server to a W2K domain (the group is called 'Pre-Windows 2000 Compatible Access' by the way). This sounds like you have a DNS or WINS problem. Check your DNS srv-records and the ipconfig on the NTserver (can you ping the DC's?), to...

    File Permissions

    Yes there is. I always use Dumpsec (free, http://www.somarsoft.com/somarsoft_main.htm#DumpAcl). Very easy and configurable. Also very handy for documentation purposes. Hope this helps.

    active directory error "path not found"

    First of all check if the PDC emulator is properly registered in DNS. Check in _msdc/pdc/_tcp it the _ldap value points to the DC. And check if all the FSMO roles are properly configured with dumpfsmos.cmd (from Support Tools or Resource Kit, not sure).

    Imaging Windows 2003 Enterprise Edition

    Come on guys, you really shouldn't be imaging 2003 servers, especially not DC's. There's lots of easy-to-use scripting tools and deployment software available. If you have 500+ MS servers i presume you have a software deployment tool like RIS and/or SMS available?

    "Under Construction" Page

    To my knowledge it's not possible to manually update your clients (except for typing in the exact urls you can find in the logfiles maybe), you have to configure it throught group policies. cheers, hanz.

    Can you push windows update using a GPO?

    Well, you configure the client Automatic Updates and BITS-services using GPO's to pull it off the SUS server. So from Windows 2000 and up you can force the updates to the clients. There are ofcourse clients available for older systems. Only drawback is the lack of proper reporting, but overall...

    No password

    Sure, no problem, Microsoft wasn't yet concerned about security when they build NT 4. Many linux-based bootdisks and bootcd's available. Check http://home.eunet.no/~pnordahl/ntpasswd/bootdisk.html or for a very nice bootcd including NT Password editor check http://www.nu2.nu/bootcd/. cheers, hanz.

    Corrupt User Profile

    Create another user and make it a member of the Administrators group. Log in in as that user and delete the profile (not the account ofcourse) of administrator. You can't delete the profile if you're using it, that's why you got the error probably. Good luck! cheers, hanz.

    problem with terminal server IP address

    and also check your lmhosts file for any references. cheers, hanz.

    active directory error "path not found"

    Check if the server's ip-configuration is correct. The DNS entry should point to itself, is this is the only DC. cheers, hanz.

    Windows 98 will not run the logon script

    Little bit more info is needed here. Where are you running the logonscript from? Is it specified in Group Policy or in the useraccount? Windows 98 can't read group policies, so you should fill in the right fields in AD Users & Computers and put the loginscript itself in the Netlogon folders...

    Continuing Winmail.dat problems

    Are you sure that they also receive the winmail.dat file or do they in fact see loads of garbage? Cause normally Outlook is the only mailclient that can handle winmail.dat files. Sorry if I'm wild-guessing now ;-) cheers, hanz.

    Looping Emails

    The X-Mailer value suggests this is a calendar/meeting request, is that correct? Check http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/wss/wss/_cdo_calendars_on_the_internet.asp for more info on this. I suggest you ask the other company to check their free/busy connectors and...

    Looping Emails

    can't you just ban the address in System Manager? Or block his ip? cheers, hanz.

    Export Group Policy

    Try this: write down the GUID of the policy you want to copy, look it up in your SYSVOL directory on the DC, create an empty policy on the other server and copy the files (not the guid-folder itself ofcourse). Then check any references to network drives you made in the policy and you should be...

    win2k resource kit

    Yep, it's a known problem. The RK was released before IE6, and doesn't do a good job in detecting the version... cheers, hanz.

    OWA 5.5 to 2003 - How do I do this?

    I can explain a whole lot of steps here, but you should first read this document: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=afad8426-572e-40f8-99da-eb7198f374c4&displaylang=en It explains how you have to add a new server with E2K, configure it as a front-end server and set up all...

    SSC can not be started from the program menu

    Hi Jack, In fact, Symantec System Console IS a MMC-plugin, so my guess is that you have a corrupt shortcut. It should say something like C:\WINNT\system32\mmc.exe /s "C:\Program Files\Symantec\Symantec System Center\Symantec System Center.msc" But if you open SSC in MMC, you can...
