Just an FYI as there has been no other mention of 2K3 server from the original question.
I have been develpoing a client solution using Win 2K3 Server and Metaframe FR3 SP3 and have encountered no real issues yet. All seems to work just fine.The only snags are that Win 2K3 DOES NOT HONOR the...
FYI for all following this thread, This is an excellent resource for defining NBT node types for custom name resolution requirements.

Your best bet is to have DHCP assign the IP address for all client machines that attach to the network.
there are two options you can appply in the Global DHCP scope settings (Option 44 WINS/NBNS Servers and 46 WINS/NBNS Node Type) Check back on this thread a little later today, as I have a link...
NT needs to see a "1C" entry for the it to recognize a domain controller. (NT or otherwise)
You have a few options... you could change the "host type" from the default "0X8" to a "0X4" Broadcast node on the clients, this would let them broadcast and...
Sounds like you may have a conflict in hostname or IP address causing the netlogon service to fail.
Try NBTSTAT -N and see if this is the cause
If the server has multiple NIC cards. make sure that ONLY ONE has WINS servers defined or both NIC's will try to register and end up in conflict as...
Check your run and runonce keys in the registry
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
and
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce
these control the autostart programs run on logon.
Also, you can add a second Citrix server temporarily to the enviornment (Added to the...
Robocopy works great for this type of transfer, but you could download a copy of PowerQuest's "V2i" www.powerquest.com and get blown away by a real awesome tool for File archival / restoration

RPC (Remote Procedure Call) is a portion of the Microsoft modified IP stack used for general NetBios (NBT) name resolution and (SMB) Server Message Block transfer.
In short, No RPC, No communication between the servers/workstations across the wire.
A simple net view will tell you if RPC is...
Sounds like you need to consolidate your AD roles onto the one functioning DC... RID master, PDC Master, Infrastructure Master, Operations Master, Global Catalog, and NTfrs replication, must be all functioning on at least one consolidated DC. If there are DC's that are not working, make sure...
There is a 360 day eval of 2K3 availsble free from M$
I would take the advantage of using it, and budget for the lisencing over the next year
Running 2k/2k3 Server = Active directory and DNS is a must, the 2K3 server is stable, More secure than 2K and for free right now, it may be your best option.
One Win2K / 2K3 Server at the Workgroup site would be Ideal.
Windows 2K3 advanced 360 day eval is available, and is very stable. There are Secure VPN solutions built in and easy to set up that would generate a 24/7 secure solution for your requirements.
2k3 Server has an issue with some PII and...
Hyena should be able to export all of the users in AD to a tab delimited text file. If not, download a copy of DameWare NT utilities 30 day eval from http://www.dameware.com
and you will never open Hyena gagin... DameWare is Hyena on STEROIDS!!
Once you have your text file, open the file in...
The messages you refer to are generated by the NetWare Logon script, this can be done in either environment.
I will not advise on the content of your logon script as I do not know your environment, but the syntax you are after is
Hello %username% blah blah blah...
you will need to search out...
Make sure your firmware for the PERC controller, and storage array are current(Internal system firmware if no external storage cabinet is used)
with the correct firmware, and you logged on as the local administrator, all options should be available.
** Note, the only logical drive that can be...
OH MY GAWD! I thought I was the only one on earth left with an NT3.51 Citrix box still in production.
Legacy Apps... you know the story...
Anyway, I would suggest to remove the existing PDC from the wire to preserve it if you need to back out of the BDC promotion if things go wrong.
1...
Dell just announced an issue with data corruption affecting their SCSI RAID arrays caused by array firmware levels below 1.7 (2.4 is current I believe)
This may not be your problem, but it is worth checking, your issue sounds a lot like a DELL Technote description we received last week.
Server tape backup has traditionally been done via SCSI attached Tape devices, the driving factor is the ammount of data per backup session, and the speed at which you need to span it to tape.
1: how much data do you need to back up
2: if it does not fit on one tape, do you require a changer /...
