Have you forced replication within Sites and Services?

I've been seeing some strange stuff at work recently. Occasionally a user will click on Start/Run and type \\server1 and the window opens showing all the shares on server1. Another user at the same time does the same thing and instead of a window with shares, he just has a blank window. If he...

To WhoKilledKenny - is this true even is Exch2003 is in native mode? Also, do you know why Exchange requires it? Just curious here. Thx

I'm not sure I agree with that the ISP is responsible. You mentioned that the hosting service setup the MX record for your mail server. This tells me that the hosting service (also the register, in your case) is the entity hosting the authoritative name server. This would also be the server...

My boss is requesting that we host our own external name servers. Fine, all setup and secured, unnecessary services disabled, yadda yadda. But now, he is asking that I have IIS running on the servers to display a simple park page for names we own but do not use. I suggested we use another...

Is there any advantage to using a PIX over a router for a VPN tunnel? If using a router, the router is behind the firewall?

Most likely the ISP that was providing your connection via T1 was also acting as the DNS server for your domain. There must be a DNS server exposed to the internet that runs the DNS service. This DNS server has an entry like ourdomain.org that points to the IP address of the server acting as...

Keeping the domain name is not an issue. You will want to purchase a static IP from your cable/DSL provider and make certain that the DNS server managing your domain name knows of the new IP.

But during dcpromo are they not asked to log in as the Root domain admin? I didn't think you could run dcpromo without logging in as the admin of the forest root.

Remote domain in the UK. Don't wish to give admin password to them for our root domain. Certainly I could change it, but would rather do this myself than to ask them to do it.

What are the odds that I can run dcpromo to remove the last domain controller from a remote domain using terminal server? Anyone ever tried?

Thanks for the help and info everyone!!!! Greatly appreciated.

Awesome idea Brandon!! I'm still too much "old school" and haven't yet utilized the power of OUs and policies. I'm going to look into this idea tonight (dang, it would be nice to be in sales and actually have a life). So, just a question, could you or anyone verify the same ability...

Just added a new "application mode" terminal server. Wanted to poke around and test security on it. Discovered that the basic user can run regedt32.exe and regedit.exe and add and delete keys even though the security on regedt32.exe states that basic joe user can only read from the...

I think you just discovered why it's common practice to use the same server name.
