Im planning out my NT4 to 2003 upgrade and have a plan I am confident in, but have a couple of questions about DNS. So far the bare-bones plan is: 1. Take a virtual machine of a BDC, promote it to PDC, and take offline. 2. Install 2003 on the offline virtual PDC. Use same domain name and...

I have a custom made server that has a dual headed NIC. It lists the cards as: Intel Pro 1000MT and a generic Marvell Yukon. Im not exactly sure what is going on here. From the looks of this server it should just have a dual-headed Pro 1000MT but its using a Marvell Yukon and the 1000MT. Im...

Im going to image a bunch of XP and 2000 machines but the business doesnt own a volume key, just OEM keys attached to the side of the PC. What is the best practice for imaging a single image on all these machines? Should I just take the image with a single key and then change it with some tool...

Can someone give me a few pointers on how to write a script that will return a value in an integer of minutes since a file has been last accessed? I found that objFile.LastAccessed will give me this info, but Im not sure how I can turn this value into minutes so I can compare it to the system...

NT4 is a little before my time, so please bear with my newbie questions. We currently have an NT4 domain, which in the near future will be a 2003 domain, in the meantime Id like to get a backup of the domain controllers. It looks like ntbackup on 4.0 only works with tape drives and doesnt...

Hi, Ive got a few machines the previous admin installed on a single disk (no raid, no redundancy at all). Id like to buy a second hard drive and add a budget raid card to get RAID1 working. Can I attach the drive to the RAID1 card and expect windows to boot up? Ive done the reverse before...

Perhaps I am looking at this problem incorrectly. Please correct my assumptions if need be. My company is expanding and I'd like to add a subnet because we are running out of IPs. Our original subnet is 10.10.8.x 255/255/255/0. Id like to add 10.10.9.x. I am thinking the only way to do this...

I have a 5.5 exchange install running on a Windows 2000 machine. Im planning on upgrading our domain from NT4 to 2003, but I will be using the NT4Emulator key on the new 2003 server for rollback purposes. Im not sure how 5.5 will respond to finding itself on an upgraded domain, but in...

I'm working on a plan to upgrade from NT4 to 2003 but have some questions. 1. We currently have an NT4 network. We use the DNS on our firewall/router. When I install 2003 on the new PDC I need to install DNS for AD, correct? Or can I just tell it to use the DNS in our firewall? If not should I...

Hello, Ive started a new position and in my new environment we arent doing a lot with backups. I'm looking to build a solution for 25 servers. Ideally we want to take images of these servers as well as data copies (both flat files and sql). Is BackUp Exec still good for this or are there...

Is it possible to change one's password using rpc over http? Id like to be able to click 'user must change password at next login' and have them be forced to change it, but it isnt working for me. These are users off our domain if it helps. They are using Outlook 2007 and connecting to Exchange...

It looks like Im missing a lot of computers from the list in symantec corporate. They all have the client installed and with the correct entry in parent server. I tried doing a discovery, intense discovery, and putting in our subnet but I still dont see them. Can someone tell me how I can add...

We currently are not running any group policy for office and lately not having this kind of control has been causing problems. We're rolling out 2007 soon and Ive created an installer with the OCT and slipstreamed sp1. I'd love to implement group policy for office 2007 before we roll this...
