Hi I have several hundred dell workstations with Intel PRO/1000 MT Network Cards. We need to change the settings on all of them to be 100Mbs, Full Duplex. Anyone know how to script this in order to prevent us having to change the settings on each individual PC. THe PCs run Windows NT4 SP6...

Isn't NetBEUI an old non-routable network protocol that has nothing to do with name resolution? Were you perhaps thinking about NETBIOS names?

Yeah - I've tried it on about a dozen PCs and it's the same on every one. The user swears blind she was able to do it a few days ago - yeah right!. P

Hi A user running Outlook 98 on Windows NT4 connecting to an Exchange 5.5 server attempts to archive items from the mailbox to a .pst file. In every mailbox folder apart from the Inbox, the items are archived as expected. However, the inbox simply ignores the majority of items that should be...

I'm running Office 97 on Windows NT4. If I open word and type a document and then chose to send it to a mail recipient, the normal Outlook email box opens with the document inserted as an attachment. If you then chose the Save option the message is saved directly in the Inbox and not in the...

Hi I've been running a W2k AD domain with 2 windows 2K servers - I now want to just run it off 1 server but although in a W2K AD domain all servers are supposed to be equal (No PDC and BDC) this doesn't seem to be the case. For example, all DCs don't have a copy of the Global Catalogue by...

Hi When a user is attempting to archive his mailbox in Outlook to a .pst file, he gets the following error after it has archived about half of the necessary items: "Archive skips store due to error. Failed to open a source store" Anyone seen this before? The workstation is NT4...

Problem solved - seems to be a typo on the interpretation of the way the command line switches are used with ie6setup.exe

Hi Anyone know of a foolproof method to download the full version of IE6 - not just the 470Kb ie6setup.exe file? I've follows KB257249 and the switches provided simply do not work. P

Hi Apologies for this - I am totally new to Arcserve. Anyway, I'm running Arcserve 2000 Advanced Edition (SP4) on a W2K server (SP3). The documentation seems to suggest you can backup to Iomega Zip drives but I simply can't get Arcserve to recognise the drive. I'm not using this as a long-term...

Hi I'm about to upgrade a NT4 network to W2K. I know it's not a big issue but what is the stated Microsoft order of doing the upgrade?. Should you upgrade the workstations and then the servers or vice versa? Is there a stated Microsoft preference? Cheers Pete

Fantastic - That worked a treat! Many thanks Pete

Hi Having recently been made redundant from my job, I'm spending lots of time on my home PC. At work, whenever I clicked on a link in an Outlook message a new browswer window opened. Now, whenever I click on a link it opens in the current browser window - over the top of whatever I may be...

I'm afraid message tracking wasn't enabled on the Exchange server. Also, the original message has been deleted

Hi I'm using Exchange 5.5 on a W2K server and the client PCs are all W2K Pro with Outlook 2000 as the mail client. One sent an email on September 26th. Since then, he has been getting irate emails back from the person he sent the original email to as the email is getting delivered time and...

Hi I've got Red Hat 8.0 running samba ans it's being used as a simple file and print server on a w2k domain. I'd like to be able to connect to it using VNC like i do with my other PCs and servers. I use a W2K professional PC to connect to other machines. I've managed to get VNC server working...

Hi Having searched previous threads on the subject, I found a few that helped with a problem I was having printing to a Samba print server on Red Hat 8 from Windows (2K) PCs. I thought I had everything set up fine on the Red Hat box and could browse to the shared printer via windows PCs. I...

Hi I'm running Exchange 5.5 on a W2K server with about 120 mailboxes. I want to move to Exchange 2000 but am unsure as to the best way to go about it. Should I simply upgrade the 5.5 installation or do a completely fresh install on another server?. I've heard its better to do a fresh install as...
