    Email migration to Office365. Two mx records.

    Getting ready to migrate from Groupwise 8 to Office365. As we'll be moving over 100GB of data offline, we have to migrate a few users at a time. As this means we have to maintain two domains with the same name, I'm hoping to add an MX record to the new domain while keeping the original intact...

    CMS for an existing site

    I'm presently at my wits end with Contribute 3 and all of it's authentication and file lockout problems. The latest is the dreaded "Contribute cannot verify your connection information" error which started up this week. We've made no changes to permissions to any files and can access them fine...

    HP MSA 2012 drive trays

    Trying to find a way to purchase drive trays for my MSA 2012 SAN. We have four open bays and if I buy from HP the drives are close to $600 each for 1TB drives. If I purchase the same drives without the trays from another vendor they are $150 each. HP will only sell the trays if we buy the...

    Auto disable of unused accounts

    I have several computer accounts that I've recently had to disable because of non-use. I'm not sure if they're still valid and the computers in question are just not connecting very often so I didn't delete them. In the future I would like to just disable accounts if they don't get used...

    Long term archives for local government

    My city will soon be moving to OES2 suite with Groupwise and Zen, I'm excited about the move but have one concern. Local governments apparently fall under some laws requiring us to archive emails for a certain amount of time in order to guard against any litigation that might come up as the...

    Active Directory Seat Licensing

    Well, I just got finished with a school on Server 2003 and I feel better about it but have a question. We originally had a volume license agreement that has expired. We've since replaced the servers and have the Server 2003 licenses paid for. I've looked over the volume license paperwork but...

    Backing up Global Catalog

    Hello, I'll be replacing a failed hard drive on a raid 5 setup (Server 2003). I've seen one of these go bad before and that was just really ugly. I'm trying to cover all of the bases just in case. I've created system state backups (Backup Exev 10d) and will be Ghosting the C drive but can't...

    Creating a new position

    Hello, I'm an IS Admin for a small town with about 215 users at 14 sites all connected to my server room\office. So far it's me and a part-time person taking care of all things computer related plus just about everything else that uses electricity. I'm trying to justify the need for another...

    Office closes right after opening

    Hello, I've tried searching for this answer, sorry if it's been covered in detail already. I have two users that can't get Office to stay open, one is 2003 pro and the other is 2002. They get the popup from Microsoft that Office has encountered a problem and needs to close. Happens with...

    Change domain types from .local to .com

    Hello, We have one domain living behind an existing firewall on a class c IP (192.168.xxx.xxx). I want to create a trust and be able to get to the machines I support. I wasn't in on the configuration of this server but when I look at the domain names on my other two DCs I see that they are...

It stopped responding to users requests to store or retrieve information and when I remoted in it told me it...

    Create shortcut to open IE when Firefox is default

    Hi, I'm needing to deliver shortcuts to open a web app that only runs on IE6 or above. Many of my users are running Firefox as their default browser so that when the shortcut is opened it uses (correctly) Firefox. Does anyone know a way to script or otherwise slap around the shorcut to tell it...

    Transitive trusts between Windows 2003 domain

    Good afternoon, I have a good one this time. I have three domains, all running Windows server 2003 and all on the highest functional level according to AD Domains and Trusts. I need to create a transitive trust between the domains in order to use a tracking tool. If I try to create the trust...

    Child domains and forests

    Time for a really dumb question but that's part of the job, right? As stated on my last post, I have three domains. I started with seven when I walked onto this job and have been hacking them up ever since to try to get a better handle on the management of the network (We only need three...

    Estatblished trusts but can't connect to other domains

    I have three domains in the forest. I established two-way trusts for each domain to see the other two and they validate both in and out. However...I need to be able to browse the other domains from AD in order to say that someone from one domain gets to see (or not) something from another...

    Can't ping lan machines but CAN ping servers

    I don't know where to start so here I am. I recently added SMS 2003 trial version to my Windows 2003 Server. I set up some collections and I think that's all. My problem this week started with users saying they couldn't print to shared printers connected to other machines. This led me down the...

    Receive email from Exchange servers delayed.

    Our ISP recently moved to a new NOC and "somehow" our DNS records didn't get updated with the new DNS server information. In fact, they called me to let me know we might have a DNS problem. This caused the antennae to go up but we corrected the problem (I think). Our website and email is up and...

    Internet only within a LAN

    I support a public library along with several other sites and recently had to make a change on the network that exposed patron computers to the LAN. I would like to set them up so that they login the local machine only and can only see the internet, not browse my network. I thought about...

    Need fiber help.

    I sure hope I can find some help here. I have a few Lucent P114F fiber switches. My WAN is made up entirely of single mode fiber and I can use one of these switches if it goes single mode. Does anyone know the specs on them? Thanks
