That's a piece of cake using vbscript and a login script. Here's one example: Set WshNetwork = CreateObject("WScript.Network") WshNetwork.AddwindowsPrinterConnection "\\adps\BEC152 Laser" WshNetwork.SetDefaultPrinter "\\adps\BEC152 Laser" adps is the print server name, BEC152 Laser is the...

I think its TCP port 1723, and IP protocol ID 47 (GRE)for PPTP. For L2TP You need UDP 500 and IP protocol ID 50 (ESP). I've set this up a long time ago. If this isn't enough post back and I'll dig up my notes. JP

Could it be that the connectivity between buildings is not adequate for GP to propogate? Some policiy settings will not, by default, propogate over a slow link. JP

Have you tried going to AD Sites and Services, expanding the tree and right clicking on servers. You should see a "New" choice on the menu. Try adding it there. JP

Piece of cake, but only in a login script, not a startup script. In other words it's easy to do on a user basis, but not on a copmputer basis. If you want some sample code snippets let me know and I can forward you some examples based on what we use at my college to assign printers and default...

You can try using the ADSIEDIT or LDP tool to "go to the dark side" and view attributes that are not exposed in the AD Users and Computers GUI. JP

How do you have the IP stack configured on the workstations? Are they statically set or pulling addresses via dhcp? If dhcp what is your zone configuration? If the workstations are trying to get a dhcp IP stack config and there is no properly configured zone they will pull APIPA numbers -...

Did you run the prep tools from the E2k3 CD? The tools for Exchange are unique and must be run from the E2K3 CD.

You can get more granular than denying read properties at the general tab in advanced security settings by going to the properties tab and selecting/deselecting specific properties you want the delegates to see. I'm sorry, but I don't know what they specifically need to see to do the work you...

robros, Did it work for you? Worked for me from home and on an XP machine at work but not from a win2K Adv server machine at work. Didn't have time to troubleshoot it today, though.

FYI - You probably don't even need the batch file just set the service to run cscript.exe with c:\mail.vbs as the argument.

Adding to what vbrocks says you could use something like the following: Create a batch file that runs a vbscript to send a message via CDO Here's a sample batch file snippet @echo off cscript.exe c:\mail.vbs Here's a sample script to send the message via CDO Set objMessage =...

Interesting. When I run this tool it dumps all the email addresses for me. It does output alot of other stuff too. Did you look through the whole output file for blocks like the following: proxyAddresses: X400:c=us;a= ;p=XYZ;o=Exchange;s=Surname;g=GivenName; proxyAddresses...

I suggest starting with dcdiag.exe and netdiag.exe Running dcdiag in verbose mode will give you information about the FSMO roles including the RID pool that is available. Netdiag is also a great tool, but running in verbose mode generates a LOT of data. You can direct output to a log file...

At the command prompt type: ldifde -f dump.ldf -l proxyaddresses Search the dump.ldf file for the NULL.TERMINATOR address

Actually, doesn't the exclamation indicate that you are out of addresses? I think the warning indication is a yellow triangle with an exclamation mark inside. pretty finicky, but running out is much worse than running low.

First, you definitely need to set up a license server for App Mode terminal services. Win2K and higher clients can connect for free, but you still need the licensing server. Second, TS users need to have the "logon locally" permission and "access this computer from the...

What about terminal services? You're in the Win2K server forum, so I assume you have it on your desktop machine. If not, WinXP Pro provides the same remote desktop connection functionality. Basic Telnet doesn't require a client, but it isn't secure. You just need the telnet service running on...

I've experienced this stuff, too. The event logs may have been corrupted. The following process fixed us up: To clear your event log files, do the following: Set the startup type of the event log service to "Disabled", reboot. Delete (or move to another location) the *.evt files in...

Go into AD Users & Computers. Then go to properties for the user account(s). Click the Email Addresses tab. Click the New button and type in the new/additional address. There may be a short period of latency before it becomes useable, but it will kick in eventually.
