    Outlook finds inbox only when I first open it

    Perhaps Q814556 is what you're looking for, although it doesn't quite seem to match up with what you're seeing. Might be worth a go.

    No ping = Unable to find DC?

    I believe that setting GroupPolicyMinTransferRate to 0 (zero) in the following keys on the affected workstations fixes this: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon When a client connects...

    Finally moving PDC from NT 4 to 2k

    Best not to - in fact I'm pretty sure you can't do it this way anyway. If you use a new NT box and upgrade it then you're guaranteed a clean install (assuming you test it offline beforehand that is!). This is only a temporary server anyway, once you've got it upgraded to W2K and running AD you...

    "Spare" Win2k server

    I *think* the Notify Pause After Modify maximum value is 9999 minutes, i.e. about a week, but I wouldn't put any money on it. This seems to be how it was in Exchange 5.5's DS, which is what AD is based on, but I suspect you're well into unchartered territory here!

    "Spare" Win2k server

    I wouldn't really want this happening on my DCs, hence RAID arrays / redundant PSUs / 4 hour hardware callout contracts and all the rest of it. But if I knew that my server was going offline for an extended period, I would dcpromo it out of the picture and put another one in instead, even if it...

    "Spare" Win2k server

    Q214678 describes changing the replication interval within a site, but I doubt MS were thinking of intra-site replication intervals of days/weeks when they implemented this, so "interesting" things might well happen. If your second site is wired up you could have the second server...

    "Spare" Win2k server

    You'd need to leave the roles on the first server, and then seize them if you ever put in the second server as a replacement. But I'm not sure that I would set up the second server and then just unplug it and lock it away somewhere. The first server will continue to try to replicate with server...

    Increase ping activity

    I suspect the increased traffic is down to the Nachi worm (or variants) - certainly we've seen a marked increase in ICMP traffic over the last month or so.

    SIDs

    You might want to try sid2user : http://www.ntbugtraq.com/default.asp?pid=55&did=6 Sounds like they're deleted accounts though, where the deletions haven't correctly replicated out.

    NT BACKUP USING AT COMMAND

    Check to see what context the scheduler service is running under - normally this would be under the System context but if this has been changed, then whatever account it now runs under needs appropriate privileges (i.e. needs to be a member of Backup Operators or Administrators). When you run...

    Event ID's 7026 and 0

    NALNTService is the Novell Application Launcher for NT, which is client software for ZenWorks, which (usually) runs on a Novell NetWare server. ZenWorks is used to push out security policy and/or applications to client workstations, it's Novell's equivalent of Group Policy. In any case it...

    Upgrading NT to 2K AD

    That's the way I read it (MS are talking about upgrading an NT member server to a W2K member server). Creating a new domain - you could do it that way. I can see why it would look a safer option, but I still think that I prefer using the temporary server scenario above. If the upgrade of the...

    Upgrading NT to 2K AD

    Hi mairving, You're correct in what you say about needing to upgrade the PDC first. I've upgraded a couple of NT domains to Win2K recently, and I reckon that the safest option is to do what you originally suggested - i.e. build an NT BDC on a temporary machine (service packed and patched)...

    Reg push or Regini.exe

    reg.exe on the Resource Kit might help you out there. I haven't got it to hand at the moment, but I seem to recall it has more functionality than regini.exe.

    Urgent: The server is not configured for transactions

    Sure, go ahead and reboot. But your browsing problems should already be resolved now your IPC$ share is back.

    Urgent: The server is not configured for transactions

    hold on, hold on! You've checked for the possibility of a virus, right, your anti-virus software is up to date? The changes in Q318755 won't apply until you reboot - BUT I would run net share first, to see what shares you have available. If you see (at least) c$ and ipc$ as well as your...

    Urgent: The server is not configured for transactions

    Could be a virus. In any event, looks like you've lost your IPC$ share. Have a look at this: http://www.annoyances.org/exec/forum/win2000/r1038386353 There is also an article in the MS KnowledgeBase (Q318755) about recreating the administrative shares if they have been removed...

    Transferring AT commands to a new server

    You can do this with winat.exe from the NT Server Resource Kit (a GUI for at.exe) - fire it up, open up the two servers and copy and paste the commands over. Saves you a lot of typing there, I'm thinking :-)

    force users to logoff after idle for certain time

    The Resource Kit for NT and Win2K provides a logoff screensaver (winexit.scr), which you can configure to log the interactive user off after a certain period of inactivity. It doesn't work too well under NT though: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;Q156677

    file extension .aab what is it?

    Macromedia Authorware Binary? Sound likely? http://www.macromedia.com/support/authorware/ts/documents/animated_gifs.htm http://www.macromedia.com/support/authorware/ts/documents/aw_faq.htm In any case they're not NT system files, but I should be still be careful about deleting them straight...
