    Windows 2000 SBS question...

    What exactly is a GC? I know what a DC is, but not the GC. Mainly, we setup a Veritas solution that takes all of the drive info each night and not only backs up the primary, but pushes it to the backup server. This backup server is only going to be used in an emergency. -P

    Windows 2000 SBS question...

    Here is my situation...I need to know how and if this could be done... I have a Primary Windows 2000 SBS server at a client site. I also have a Windows 2000 server as a backup. My questions is this. I know with SBS, you cannot have a PDC/BDC setup, so how would one go about setting up a...

    Batch file question...

    No, this has to be one or the other. I thought of just creating a local mapping of a different drive letter but they cannot even have the option of being on both servers at once. By deleting the driveshare, and then re-mapping the same drive letter to a different server, this eliminates that. -P

    Batch file question...

    longhair, no you didnt read it wrong. The problem is, in the code, it tried to add the new drive map. only problem is, every user already had the L drive mapped to the primary server. We want to be able to have the users be able to switch to the backup server at any time in case there is a...

    Batch file question...

    Ok..I got them to map...the default login script maps them to \\gnmsrv\L as their L drive. Every user logs in and runs that script. Now, I will be placing this vbscript icon on their desktops and giving them the option of switching. This works, deletes the old path to the L drive, maps the new...

    Batch file question...

    Ok what if the drive does not exist for whatever reason? Is there an IF/THEN thing I could use? Like If exist L: then net use L: /delete END If -P

    Batch file question...

    Another question...(sorry) Does this work for executables as well? For instance, Say I have an application which requires switches in order to run. When the user clicks on this script, can it be configured to run the executable on the mapped network drive? Ex: \\gnmsrv\L\dad\das_app.exe...

    Batch file question...

    Hey longhair... That worked..you are the man. However, because the L drive had previously been mapped, I got this message: Script: C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\backup.vbs Line: 3 Char 5 Error: An attempt was made to remember a device that had previously been remembered. Code...

    Batch file question...

    Ok here's exactly what I need... I have two servers. Primary is called GNMSRV. The backup is called GNMSRV-BK. For the Primary server, the script is simple. It will simply unmap the L drive (if it exists) and re-map it (or map it if it didn't exist). For the backup, it is a little more...

    Batch file question...

    Hey everyone, I was just wondering if there is a way to execute a batch file from a desktop which prompts the user to continue. I am pretty sure it is possible but I have no clue how to do it. My situation is this: I have two severs running proprietary software. One is Primary, one is Backup. I...
