Using Local Policies you can enable password complexity requirements even on a stand-alone machine. Don't Panic! (Douglas Adams) RedBarn2

All, We are using the Complexity Requirements in Windows XP for passwords and are curious if we can require users to use all 4 of the complexity requirements in their password instead of just 3 of the 4. Thanks!!! Rog Don't Panic! (Douglas Adams) RedBarn2

FYI Windows XP mode requires Hardware support on the CPU and it be turned on in the BIOS setup. However you can still download and run the latest Virtual PC software on any PC. Don't Panic! (Douglas Adams) RedBarn2

Actualy Readyboost is meant to speed up systems with slower hard drives. It caches a copy of all smaller sized entries in the swap file on the Hard Drive to a USB or other speedier storage device. The idea is that when the PC needs a hit from the swap file (Virutal Memory) it will check if it...

All, I currently have a dedicated OCS 2007 Standard server running in a Virtual Server environment and I am trying to move the server over to a new Server 2008 R2 Hyper-V environment. All other servers I was able to simply pull over the file, update the VM addins and it works just fine...

Sounds about right to me! I'll let you know! Thanks for the input!!! Red Barn 2 Don't Panic! (Douglas Adams) RedBarn2

All, I am getting ready to do something really bad. I am supposed to split one Windows 2K/Exchange 2K domain into two domains in separate locations. Currently they have a frame-relay between the offices, but the companies have decided to separate and I need to clip the connection and keep...

Howdy All... It turned out to be an issue with the SQL Agent backup dll's that were incorrectly registered when SQL was uninstalled and reinstalled on the server in the first place. I reregistered them and it works fine now. Red

Sorry about that, I forgot to add that I am using Yosemite Backup 8.10-sp1e which is the latest as of today on their website. RedBarn2

Howdy all... Have my Yosemite backups working perfectly except for a SQL 2000 server that is giving me problems. I get two errors in the job log, this first is: The object S4System could not be backed up. See job log for further details. The second is towards the end of the log: Bkp...

I recently did a project with a situation where we used a product called WansyncHA from XOSoft.com. It was not cheap depending if you have standard or enterprise versions of Windows Server and Exchange Server but it allowed you to have the two servers replicate and if one went down it would...

Make sure that your Organization or Site names don't have illegal characters in them. I am going through the same issue with my upgrade. Microsoft claims that the only solution is to uninstall Exchange 2000 completely, then export all my 5.5 mailboxes to PST files, rebuild the 5.5 servers with...

Folks, I have a 2000 server running RRAS with a modem pool and a limited number of lines coming in, so I need to limit the call length of imcoming connetions. The inactivity timeout is not sufficient since folks will simply open their Outlook and leave it open, plus 2000 and XP love to...

I'm trying to use NTBackup to create my backups, and they are good backups to my knowledge, however when I attempt to recover data from these tapes I get very confused on how to import a tape that was created by another 2000 Server using NTBackup. I am trying to figure this out when I have time...

Does anyone have any Disaster Recovery proceedures for a Bare Metal restore from tape using NTBackup to create tapes? My main issue is making NTBackup recognize a tape that it did not create. I can't find anything helpful in the MS Knowledge Base. Thanks!!! RedBarn2

I figured it out. He had something in his Calendar folder that was causing the PC to go to 100% CPU whenever he clicked on the folder. I narrowed it down to his mailbox by attaching to it with another copy of Outlook on a different PC and it did the same thing. I exported his mail to a PST...

Folks, I have a guy who receives the following error whenever he tries to open his contacts folder in Outlook 2000. OUTLOOK caused a stack fault in module EMSMDB32.DLL at 0167:62731ab9. Registers: EAX=026cf65c CS=0167 EIP=62731ab9 EFLGS=00010202 EBX=00000000 SS=016f ESP=00532000 EBP=00000000...

Don't forget to defrag after any type of update to XP, when microsoft installs patches they rename the old file, write the new one and then delete the original when the full installation is complete, the results are a hugely fragmented hard drive which would slow it down considerably. Try...
