    Lost computer accounts on PDC

    Hi, What OS is on the clients? Presuming it is nt based: 1) Join a workgroup on the PC, 2) Delete the computer from the domain, 3) Reboot pc, 4) Re-join the domain. This will re-create new computer accounts. Re-installing the os on the bdc and pdc will not resolve this issue. Dave

    Mailbox migrations between sites Exchange 5.5

    Hi, I suspect that the problem will be the address of the DL's. What does the error message say (For once with m$ they can usually be deciphered) As i recall, the address is in X400 format, which you will need to change before the import Also, are the Dl's already set up? Dave

    Multiple DHCP Servers-same physical LAN?

    The easiest way I can think of is to perform a little testing... Stop your DHCP service & try to renew a DCHP lease (I.E. on win95, run winipcfg & elease all, then try to renew. On W2k run ipconfig /release then ipconfig /renew) If your pc cannot find a dhcp server then either there is no...

    Restore from Online Backup to Hotspare Server

    Hi, No probs. That was about the same argument I had with those holding the purse strings. Once I pointed out the benefits & time savings, they didn't really put up much of a fight. Dave

    Desktop and mouse goes bezerk

    Hi, A few (about 30%) of our users (myself included) have experienced this issue on Dell Latitude C600's. We have eventually convinced Dell to admit that this is a known issue with the &quot;palm rests&quot; i.e. the bit of plastic that surrounds the touchpad. The theory being that the...

    Hi Grenage, Sorry, I mis-read the question. We had something similar set-up using profgen.exe. I don't know where it came from, but searching with google returned a few hits. N.B. this will take your NT username and try to resolve against an exchange mailbox. Dave :-)
