Hi and thanks for the responses. The new switches are Netgear FS728TS btw, not Linksys. As I mentioned, we have very limited expertise in networking in house but the above responses appear to make sense even to me! :-) The core is a HP J4865A ProCurve Switch 4108GL but unfortunately at the...

This business used to be part of a big corporation who paid top dollar for top names in IT kit but a few years ago it was spun off on its own and has struggled ever since. It's a pretty small set up now, with just 60 workstations and a few servers. The network is a basic setup with a core...

As you can probably tell from the number of Exchange related queries I keep posting we have little in house expertise with Exchange and our Exchange Server is a bit of a Friday afternoon machine unfortunately. The latest issue is that the Exchange System Manager keeps hanging when trying to...

Am I unable to restore the backup to any location because when I try to select the files to restore it reports that there are no files contained in the backup (i.e. there is nothing for me to select to restore). I cannot click on an empty list. On the other hand, the BKF file size is 13.5GB so...

Presently we try to backup our Exchange 2000 server using NT Backup. All the documentation I have found suggests that this should not be a problem - and for the most part it isn't BUT.... Two daily backups exist. One backs up the whole of the C drive and system state etc. The Exchange...

Odd - I didn't receive notification of there being another message on this thread. As it happens I was coming back to update it anyway so that future users of this forum might gain some help from what I have found out. I have now resolved the issue. The public folder had been deleted in the...

Hi. The address was definitely assigned to the Public Folder and not to any disabled accounts (which are all stored in a Disabled Accounts OU and so easy to check). Not only could I email the address and get a delivery confirmation that the message was received (by the public folder account)...

Hi. I am not overly familiar with Exchange but unfortunately have an Exchange server to look after! I've normally been up to whatever it has decided to throw at me but this one is proving more frustrating - especially as it is a seemingly trivial issue. Any help appreciated greatly! The...

Somehow I thought someone must have come across this problem before. I understand the issue with the messenger service but I am rather surprised that MS didn't come up with another solution for messaging the network. I can't believe we're the only company in the world that has a need for this...

On looking into it further Windows Messenger, as I suspected it's got nothing to do with what I wanted. Open access to a messaging system like that would be a license to waste time in this place, even if restricting so it's only internal. All I want is the ability to pop up urgent network...

Okay, thanks for the explanation. Yes we gathered about the security issues with the messenger service. If I could find a decent alternative for issuing network alerts I'd be more than happy to switch it off. Will look into Windows Messenger and third party options as an alternative.

When I have to take a network server down for whatever reason the normal order of ceremony has been: 1. Issue a general email advising of the date / time the server will go offline and an approx up time it is expected to be up again together with a list of applications / features will be...

Apologies for the delay in replying. You have answered the question and actually it's obvious. The batch file does copy to a network drive using the drive letter so unless there is an interactive logon / profile loaded the path is not defined. Iirc when I originally wrote the file I did try...

Hi there, Thanks for taking the time to read and offer suggestions. I have read the thread you linked to and I am not certain that it is the same problem. In that thread the OP states that the scheduler logs show the job as unable to start and state a reason. My scheduler logs showed that...

Trial and error and we might have got there. It seems to have objected to being set to run whether a user was logged in or not (even though a domain admin account had been specified to run under). Changing it to run only when a user was logged in seems to have fixed the problem - either that...

I am trying to get a batch file to run according to a schedule in Windows 7. The computer seems to have other ideas and so far it is proving a fairly one sided battle of wills. The idea - that it will run the batch file at 1910hrs each evening to move a file / group of files from a local...
