I've had SMS 2003 running for a while on my ~175 workstations. These workstations started out with Win2K Pro and were upgraded to XP Pro last summer. The problem I'm running into comes up when I do software updates through SMS. Since most of the clients retained their same computer name, SMS is...

I'm running into a problem installing the client for SMS 2003 on a workstation. SMS has discovered the resource and assigned it to the site. However, the client won't install. The CCM.log shows me: ---> Warning: no remote client installation or SMS service account found ---> ERROR: Connected...

The problem was happening on every computer, to anyone who tried to send to our "John Smith" recipient. I ran the MS nickname tool on my computer, removed the nickname for that recipient, and it fixed it for every user on every computer. My understanding of nicknames is that they are...

I've got a weird thing happening with one recipient on our Exchange server. Whenever someone types his full name into a new message in Outlook, and Outlook checks the name against the global address list, it comes back with the option for two names from the global address list. This in itself...

tadduci, try going to this web site: http://www.dell.com/us/en/esg/topics/segtopic_visio.htm There are stencils there for lots of different Dell equipment in Zip format. - Todd

Well, I think I figured this one out. It appears what was happening is that Win2K Pro was looking at the path to the Home directory specified in User Manager and mapping that drive. Then, the logon script also specified in User Manager was attempting to close the connection and re-map the drive...

I'm setting up some of our first Windows 2K Professional workstations on our network which is using NT 4 DCs. We have logon scripts which are set in the user manager for domains. Each user has a home directory also set within the user manager. The logon scripts set this home directory with the...
