I have a folder with three URLs. I want to add them to the Start Menu of several department computers. I can't seem to find the right place in Group Policy Management. The few times I can get close, it opens into a new Windows Explorer window and even that only works when I save the folder into...

I've had to reinstall Windows after an OS crash. Windows is on its own 2-drive mirrored set. There is another set of 10 drives (Raid5) whose data "I assumed" would still be available after the OS reinstall. However, in Windows Disk Manager they are showing as unallocated with the correct amount...

Totally agree 101% Deon Cranford

@goombawaho - I know...you are preaching to the choir. This is what happens when those not in IT make IT decisions ages ago. Heaven forbid forcing users to change their password occasionally. @hammnet - I wondered about that as I was writing for advise. Since the "switch" is retroactive, it now...

We've not yet moved to a defined password policy...basically stayed with the default options. I want to force my users to change every 180 days without having the entire domain change on the same day. I tested that option this morning with the default domain policy and quickly discovered that...

Somewhat assumed as much. Thanks for your time to reply. Deon Cranford

Been checking around and found some older posts concerning Windows 2003 AD and password policies. Is there any chance that a 2003 AD (not 2008 AD) can now have varying password policies per OU? Was hoping for some service pack, revision upgrade, etc... to 2003 that has overcome the limitation to...

The 1500 I was using was an example. It's been hard to find the exact starting port being used due to the inablity to monitor the output 24/7 but it is near that number. I've got CA scheduled to contact me today once I can get physically to one of these PCs. Thanks for the input so far. Your...

I saw a thread here dated about 4 weeks ago and it sounds like I am having similar issues. I wonder if something new is making the rounds... I've got PCs randomly polling the web; for example, starting at source port 1500 and the destination port of 80. The next traffic attempts 1501, then...

Thank you both for the replies. Spent most of the weekend on this one. Turned out to be; you guessed it, a virus. It's name was Roxifind. I was never able to determine how the rerouting of the DNS was being done but it kept ports https, ftp, ssh, and telnet open while disabling port 80. I...

Appreciate the idea. I'll work on that this weekend and advise

Seems this is reported throughout the web for domain PCs but I've not found anything for "at home" laptops. I have one connected to a standard RoadRunner router. Two days ago, IE stopped finding websites. Running NSLOOKUP returns something similar to this: C:\>nslookup www.cnn.com Server...

Thanks for the reply. Actually, we created a new database on the network folder then created the security workgroup and had the same problem. I was able to create a shortcut using the wrkgrp parameter in the target and pointed that parameter to the mdw on the network folder. My user was going...

My user is getting the "you do not have the permissions" error after he creates the mdw security on the network folder. The database opens fine but he cannot edit. He had originally created this database on his "personal" network share and everything works. I then had him copy the files to the...

Thank you for this and the time to reply. I wasn't aware of that command. The situation was temporary and concluded yesterday morning. I would have liked to see the results of the command during the problem time but the classroom is now back to the way it was and it's too much of an...

I had a situation this morning where I needed to temporarily add wireless to a classroom. I used a 3Com 8760 (POE) and configured it and the Cisco switch port with VLAN and all seemed ok. Within 15 minutes, two Proxim 4000's (also POE) connected to the same switch began to shutdown and restart...

I need to add a secure SSID and WEP key to the OS. The Cisco screen allows me to add them both and the WS4 connects fine to the wireless. However, if the WS4 is powered down, the SSID/WEP settings are not saved and I have to repeat the process. This routine happens each time the WS4 loses power...

I have a need to create an administrative install of Outlook 2003 (part of a migration to 2007 by the way). I run through the steps of setup /a, enter the key and accept the agreement. I then run the Custom Install Wizard and point it to the admin install on the server. On step 7 of 24, it...

Glad to give a star...as reminded in the upcoming season, yours led me to the right place. Deon Cranford

Zelandakh - You were exactly right about this problem. Everything is fine with that PC and the user's mail. Thanks for the prompt reply. Deon
