I have a strange issue that just appeared out of nowhere the other day. I support a client with a Windows network that includes a DC running Server 2008 R2 and a pair of load balanced application servers, also running Server 2008 R2. Most of the users are outfitted with Wyse Win-Term...

Thanks for the suggestions thus far. I did transfer the FSMO roles and I do have the primary DNS on all the clients (as well as the server itself) set to the LAN IP of the new 2008 server. An interesting thing I noticed today is that the new server has no NETLOGON or SYSVOL shares. Am I right...

Hi dberg35 - The old server is a degraded RAID1 (one dead drive)and is exhibiting other odd symptoms as well - e.g. random shutdowns, various software errors, etc. The powers that be opted to just buy a new server and then, I got thrown into the mix after the fact. BTW, yes, the new server is...

Hello - I have been tasked with installing a new 64-bit Windows Server 2008 file server in a small, single server network. The existing server is running 32-bit Server 2003 and is configured as a DC. It is showing signs of an imminent failure so it needs to be replaced ASAP. While I have a...

Yes, Outlook is the same version. Actually the profile is being restored to the same computer is was taken from. Unfortunately, in the interim, the original profile on the PC was deleted and this is the only backup. Doesn't look like emails were being saved on the ISP mail server. :-( I'll...

Hi - Not long ago I (foolishly!!) copied a user's files and settings using the F.A.S.T. Wizard in Windows XP Pro SP3 on a Lenovo ThinkPad laptop. Recently I had to try to restore those files and settings to a new user profile on that exact machine and had no problems except for her MS Outlook...

Hello good Tek-Tips folks: I'm hoping someone here can give me some guidance. I am overseeing a project for a nationwide organization and the sub-contractor who was our main networking guru has bailed on us with only 4 days left. I need to know how to take SOA for a domain. Specifically -...

Thanks for the suggestion. I tried that with no success either. Could this be some sort of authentication issue? I'm not real familiar with the specifics but there must be a setting I can adjust somewhere...Kerberos or LDAP or some such thing? Any ideas? Thanks. C-

Hello all - One of my clients has a network with a Windows Server 2003 machine setup as a DC with 12 client computers running XP Pro SP2. This past week, their server crashed and I had to replace the hard disk and reinstall the O/S. Fortunately, all of their work-related data resides on a...

Hi zbnet - Thanks for replying. I wish I could just get this customer to move over to a newer version of Exchange (on a newer O/S) but they won't. I think I understand what you're saying though...are you suggesting that I configure the Outlook clients to use only the Exchange Corporate...

Hi dennisbb - In this case "interoffice" refers to 5 employees of a small company who all have workstations in one building. They want to be able to send e-mail directly to each other without routing those e-mail messages out to the public Internet. In addition, they'd like to use the shared...

Hi all - I Submitted a post about this a few days ago but, unfortunately, got only 1 reply which was rather vague. I'm hoping someone can shed some light. Echnage 5.5 running on NT 4.0 member server in a W2k3 domain. Clients using WXP with Outlook 2k3. Each Outlook is setup with a single...

Sorry to be a pest but I'm not really quite sure how to do that. I see that the domain controller has a DNS service setup with NS, SOA & HOST records. But I'm not exactly sure how to make the Exchange server resolve local e-mail addresses internally. Any thoughts? Thanks. C-

Hi - I have a client who just set up an NT 4.0 server running Exchange 5.5. Normally I'd have recommended that they use more up-to-date products but, they're a small company with only 5 employees and they already own licensed copies of the aforementioned software. They only want the Exchange...

Thanks very much. Sorry I didn't get back here sooner to look at these posts. It's turned into an extremely hactic week. This information was useful though and I appreciate your fast replies. Thank you again. Chris

Hi - I oversee a network that spans T1s between two physical locations. The primary location has a W2k3 server running Terminal Services and Citrix MetaFrame Pres. Svr. 3.0. This machine is a member server in a domain with a W2k Domain Controller (in the same location). The satellite...

Patrick - Wow...this has been a learning experience! I thank you for your input. I have one final question and then I think I can leave you alone. Given what I have described here, would it make sense for me to set the Terminal Services Profile path (for the users in the satellite office)...

Thank you for the replies. As to the roaming profiles...some are a bit large but mostly they're pretty standard. No custom settings or extra files that need to load across the network. What I don't get, though...why would roaming profiles have an impact? The profile is already loaded by the...

Hello Patrick - Yes, indeed...my users in the satellite office are using roaming profiles stored on the DC in their location (which is on the opposite end of the WAN from the Citrix box). Interestingly, this didn't seem to be a problem for the first few months...it's just gotten progressively...

Hello - I am currently responsible for a network of 25 users in two different physical locations. The main location has a Windows 2000 Active Directory Domain, with a 2k3 server running Exchange and another 2k3 server running Terminal Services and Citrix Metaframe Presentation Server 3.0...
