    Getting a computer's OU via script

    I am working on a new system of printer scripts to help simplify our Active Directory/Group Policy setup. I had an idea of assigning printers based on OU, but rather than making a printer script for each OU, I was hoping to make a script that ascertained a given computer's OU and then assigned...

    Set unique permissions on multiple folders

    Recently, we moved our user's data folders (students, faculty, and admin at a local school district) to a new server and had to re-create all the user folders. Our file structure is, basically, this: Users Faculty --jdoe --gdoe Students --fdoe --rdoe Staff --adoe --zdoe I...

    IBM MiniPCI wireless kiled by updates

    I have an IBM ThinkPad A31 laptop here, with built in wireless via an IBM High Rate Wireless MiniPCI. I recently installed Windows XP on it (was using 2000), and put SP2 on, and the wireless was working fine with the drivers I got from IBM's website. I installed some very minor automatic updates...

    "Don't run Windows applications" broken

    I am trying to use the "Don't run specified Windows applications" policy on certain OUs on my domain. If I enable this policy at the top level of the domain, all the programs that I specify are blocked, no problem. However, I cannot leave this policy active at the top level... but whenever I...

    Trojan adding start menu entries?

    I have a weird one here...at least, weird in that I have never seen it before: A computer running Windows ME (I know, I know, but it's not mine...) has been infected with a virus that neither Norton AntiVirus, AVG, AdAware, or Spybot are able to detect. Upon loading Windows, this trojan adds...

    Computers won't retain DHCP address

    Recently, computers have had trouble getting and retaining IP addresses via DHCP. A computer will have the correct IP address, but after restarting/shutting down, it will come back up with an IP address in the 10.0.0.x range (needs to be 172.24.5.x). To get the computers to get the right IP, I...

    IE6 "ignoring" proxy settings?

    I have about 30 computers here running IE6. 28 of them run WinXP, and the other two run Win2k. Every computer picks up the proxy settings via Group Policy - they are set to use 172.22.0.1:80. However, when you first load an internet site, instead of trying to access the site through the proxy...

    HP ScanJet 6200C, Win2k, USB

    I have here an HP ScanJet 6200C scanner. It is hooked up to a Windows 2000 machine via USB. I went to the HP site to download the drivers, and they installed fine. I also downloaded the fix to allow USB communication with the scanner through in Windows 2000. However, the computer still does...

    SpeedStream 5200 DSL Moden Stuck in Bridge Mode

    To clarify some things: 1) I clicked on 'Bridge Mode' in the modem setup, and then "Apply". This made the home modem screen stop displaying "PPPoE 8/35" and changed it to "RFCSomeNumber 8/35". However, now that it says that RFC thing, I cannot get on the internet. Resetting to factory...

    SpeedStream 5200 DSL Moden Stuck in Bridge Mode

    All I know is that I had to use port forwarding on both the modem and my router to get ports to actually forward through. I don't know if my ISP did some firmware upgrade, but there are functions there for port forwarding, static routes, etc. Entering bridge mode facked that all up; can't get...

    SpeedStream 5200 DSL Moden Stuck in Bridge Mode

    I can elaborate on this; I was actually the smacktard who put it into Bridge Mode. I hit the Bridge Mode link by accident and without thinking clicked the button on the next page (don't ask, it was late). Now it is in bridge mode, and I cannot figure out how to get the PPPoE connection back...

    Restricting logon access based on OU

    First, some background on our setup: We use Active Directory to manage logon names for all faculty and staff at a local school district. Our current OU setup is something like this: HIGHSCHOOL -STUDENTS -FACULTY -COMPUTERS MIDDLESCHOOL -(same as above) ELEMENTARYSCHOOL -(again, same as...

    Internet Explorer 5/6 lockup/freezing

    Please shoot me if this has been asked; I couldn't find it using search. Whenever IE 5 or IE 6 is started on a particular computer here, it will freeze after loading one or two sites. These sites are not anything in particular; no matter what site you try to visit, it will freeze up after one...

    Group Policy not taking effect

    I have a Group Policy for a certain OU. All functions set in the policy work fine, with exception of 'Don't run specified Windows applications." If I put it in the top level, which affects the entire domain, it works, but if I put it anywhere below that, it does not work. I am 100%...

    "server license"

    I am new to the whole MS Licensing deal. According to the MS site, you need to have a server license for each computer running 2003 server, in addition to a Per Seat license for each computer. Now I know how to purchase a Per Seat (they are calling it per device now, I think), but how do you...

    Most appropriate licensing solution (small library)

    I am hoping someone here has been in a similar situation and can shed some light on this. The Microsoft Licensing page for Win2K does not speak English. I am going to be setting up a domain for a small local library. They are going to be running 2 servers (with Active Directory) and then...

    Good reference book?

    Sorry if this has been answered in another thread, but a keyword search didn't turn up much. I am going to be designing a small domain (~25 computers, 2 servers) and plan on using Active Directory. What is the best reference book I can buy for this? I have some experience with usage of an AD...

    Computers not picking up drive mappings?

    Our domain has a script in the top level of the domain that maps certain drives for all computers. In addition, each user gets their own U: drive (which is set through their Properties area in AD). However, I have 3 computers that, despite being in the correct OU, do not pick up any drive...
