ntinlin - Im not sure whether there's anyone on site I could trust. The buildings are elementary schools and the teachers are technically challenged to put it politely. However, I like the NAS solution and it's another option we'll have to consider as we try to get a sound backup process...

Thanks LWComputingMVP. I'm definitely going to try one of your scenarios. I'm leaving toward the biweekly or monthly full backup and differentials every night. Another question: have you used the windows backup process and created the ASR disk (floppy). I was just wondering if this worked...

ntinlin and LWComputingMVP - question... I read your posts and let me clarify something and then get your opinion. I'm dealing with multiple buildings here - a school district - and currently our storage system is not centralized so there's no way for me to change tapes every day. Just with...

I don't have a lot of data changing daily, at least right now but I work in a school system and some of the student data changes daily so that would be something we would want restored quickly. I've looked at the scheduling and I don't see a way around having the full backup run every two...

I changed my backup schedule to a full backup every two weeks and the incremental backups every day. Is there a problem that in the schedule of jobs that the full backup and incremental backup are both listed. Will this cause any problems or will the full backup win.

Guys, I work for an organization with a budget that is somewhat constricted by ancillary forces so please bear that in mind. Here's my scenario: I'm in a building with one domain controller and one file server. I have a tape drive connected to the file server and I'm using windows to organize...

Actually I read that you can merge forests but it's not an easy process. You have to clone secruity principals, migrate objects and decommission domain controllers to member servers and then add each of the servers to the new domain. This is only what I read. Maybe someone else has some...

bracadar, that sounds like a plan. I'm definitely going to try that. Any idea why the issue arose for you in the first place or did you just move on to the batch file. Thanks very much for the info.

GrimR or anyone else, I have some corrections to make, When user A logs onto the network and then logs off and user B logs onto the network (same computer), user A's network share is still showing. I checked the share permissions on the shares and offline files setting, and the offline file...

guys, we have a situation on our network where when users log off, their network shares are still showing. the drives show as disconnected but I can still access the user's data. this problem is building wide. any ideas for things I can check. help is greatly appreciated.

Let me clarify. The option to rejoin the domain is greyed out. I can't start any of the services. I thought when you forcefully demote a dc, the dc would be a member server and then you clean up the metadata. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Guys, I had to forcefully demote a correupted domain controller. When I restarted the system, the system is now in a workgroup and I can't do a thing. There's no services and I have no option to rejoin the server to the domain. We only have one domain and I just want this server to be a...

additional info. No matter how many times I detele it from dns, there's an invalid entry for this dc showing up. The name should be for example: library_72.net and the following entry shows up after deletion library72 and this entry prevents replication until I detele it, again, and it failed...

Guys, I ran the netdiag /v /l /test:dsgetdc on our domain controller and this test indicated the domain controller failed the domain membership test. Any ideas here. I want to demote this dc and I would rather do it gracefull than non-gracefully in terms of a force.

Thank you. I will try what you recommend and let you know tomorrow. Greatly appreciate your input.

Gang. I have a dc that I need to get demoted. WHen i initiate dcpromo, I get a message that the dsa operation could not be completed because of a dns lookup failure. I'm at my wits end. I stopped and started dns/netlogon service but no change. I've checked the dns records and everything...

stay tuned pagy. I'll be back. Your help is greatly appreciated.

It's pointing to itself and another dns server in a different site that is currently up and running.

No firewalls and link speeds are t1s. The names are the same on both servers. The only difference i see is the name in the replicated naming context inside sites and services/properties between the old server and the new server. the new server just lists our domain name: scrsd.net. The other...

there was an event 4015. And we had an error about this dns server needed to be added to the replication zone.
