I am helping a company that has around forty users on a Windows 2003 Server network. The user machines run 2K Pro or XP. Our IT contractor says that with so few users it is not worth the effort to implement Group Policy. However I am facing a host of user and network problems that have...
We've been running TS on a succession of these 90-day eval licenses for almost a year. So, the licensing server, if not activated, can still issue these temporary licenses indefinitely, I suppose. The fact that it works is what led me to believe our vendor's explanation of why we do this...
Well that certainly lines up with my own assessment -- penauroth, that page was where I had shaped my doubts about our vendor's explanation.
So, the $125 CAL or the reg-fu workaround are for machines that do not run W2K Pro or a successor operating system, right? And all I have to do is log...
No, and apparently we are able to run TS without a licensing server, which I guess is what is making me nervous. Is the licensing server there just as a tool for recordkeeping purposes or are we bootlegging? If I set up the licensing server does that lock us into shelling out for CALs that are...
Our network admin vendor (W2K Server and hosted Exch2K3) has several of our users set up on TS to use a database, and a few more for remote access to our network. But the TS Licensing feature is not configured on our application server. Somehow that works fine except that every so often we get...
I am trying to sort out an email (Outlook 2002) situation where a user has saved everything for too long and consequently has Archive and Personal Folders each pushing 2GB. I downloaded the MS Outlook Backup add-on and installed it but it will not run because almost any action of consequence...
Per this article from MS, (http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;297019) .pst files are unsupported for network use -- local drives only, no LAN or WAN. I guess the only solution for centralized storage of Outlook files is an Exchange server.
Anyone?
One user (Outlook, 2000 or 2002) on our network of about fifty gets a lot of spam. The admin says it is not an Exchange problem. A lot of users got spam about a year ago but the problem was solved, except for this guy. I don't know where to start. I have admin passwords but not for the...
Our system is supposed to be using Windows Backup to backup W2K Server from two servers to a NAS device. I'm new at this, and in my three big fat books about W2K Server administration I can't find much about how to test a backup. One book says that the only way to definitively test a backup is...
Someone in our office got nervous/impatient during a network slowdown, started trying everything and ended up with a lot of his old Outlook items missing and a new icon on his desktop pointing to (username).pst. How can I help him get these files back into their appropriate Outlook folders? As...
