Thanks SteveOT - that did the trick!

I have Backup Exec Ver 9 on W2K3 server. I have a differential job scheduled which throws up a "Do you want to overwrite allocated media" message every time it goes to run a job. The job will run OK when I acknowledge the message but I want to automate it so that this message does not appear. I...

The most basic option you could try is from the run command. type in the server name eg \\servername ( or the domain) and hit return - this should prompt you with a logon window allowing you to logon. You could then automate this process through a batch file.

I have created an XP Pro image with packages and amendments. The source image machine runs OK but problems arise when I use the image on another machine with the exact same spec. RIS recognises and runs the image on the PC ok but when it is finished and restarts the pc it displays an error...

I was looking for a reference guide to help with small minor problems I encountered and if it cant be found in these forums then it aint out there! I'm going to upgrade to Server 2003 shortly so this may iron out the issues I had. Thanks.

Can anyone point me in the direction of an idiots guide to creating an XP RIS image? thanks

try running off one server and see if the problem still exists. I had a problem similar to this a number of years ago which slowed my clients to a crawl. I was able to narrow it down after I switched all but my main server off. Turned out to be a crashed multimedia server and the client software...

I want to allow users to use usb pen drives on client machines (XP Pro). The pen drives auto-install the drivers but current group policy (w2K) does not allow my users sufficient access rights to install the drivers. Can I give users limited rights to install usb drivers through group policy so...

Also in Computer Management(local)->Local Users and groups->Groups, make sure that the users of remote desktop are members of the remote desktop users group

Hi My users are having problems seeing documents on their networked home areas. At times they can see them but more often than not they cant. When I log on as a user the application event log tells me "Failed to perform redirection of folder My Documents. The new directories for the redirected...

Great, Thanks. Easy when you know how!!

On windows explorer windows using the View menu, files can be displayed as either thumbnails,tiles, icons, list or details. My windows display files using the 'icons' default, when I change it to 'details' it defaults back to 'icons' when I restart. Is there any way to set the view properties to...

I have 2 servers,(server1 holding user data & Server2 running other server based apps). Clients could ping Server2 and run apps from it but when trying to access a server share through the Run command, it could not find the server. I had an idea that DNS was not set up correctly so I made a...

RIS deletes my partitions when I do an install of XP only. I have other custom images which have sif files and there are amendable lines to prevent repartitioning, but this particular image which is used for setting up new computers with the OS only does not seem to have a sif file to amend. Am...

How can I create a hidden partition? Do I require a specialist app (eg partition magic) or can I create it manually in DOS/windows? I want to store ghost images of individual XP Pro computers on a hidden partition at the local computer. The hidden partition will give me a bit more security.

Thanks Joseph. You are right that the directory above is shared. I use this as an area for users to connect to resources which they run via shortcuts. The security is not as tight as I would like so it looks like I will have to take the share down a level. If I create a new folder called...

You can use one line in your default script if you are mapping home areas to all users. eg if all users have drive Z as their home area use the following: net use z: \\servername\UserAreas\%username%

I have an area on a W2K server which holds an application. The application is in a Dir called FolderA. Users access the app using a shortcut and it runs OK. FolderA has Read, Read & Execute, and list contents permissions. However users can browse to levels above FolderA. They cannot amend any of...

Create a folder eg Applications on your server. Share this folder. Give full permissions to Admins and read and execute permissions to Domain Computers. Copy the contents of your Office CD to Applications. On Active Directory create an OU eg Workstations. Create a Group policy for the...

You could add the software to the local machine using the group policy. Create an OU on the AD. go to the properties of this OU and create a new policy.Go to Computer configuration -> software settings -> software installation. Right click New -> Package. Browse to the MSI of the package you...
