    If you get the error "Attempt to set time which differs by more than 12 hours aborted" and your time is not 12 hours wrong then the problem will be that the time is more wrong than the number of seconds set in...

    Just looked at the autiding options and I dont think it will. :-( -- Everything has about a 50:50 chance of working. Either it will, or it wont!

    Raid 5 one hard drive failed

    On the more recent Prolients (about the last 3 years) the drive can be bigger, but it's not recomended as a long term fix unless your going to replace all the drives in the group with bigger ones.

    Who deleted a folder?

    Yes. Unfortunitly you need to do this before you find a folder has vanished! Often I find that somebody has accidentally moved the folder into another folder in that tree.

    In order for Surfcontrol to be able to identify Citrix or TS users you will either need to be running the ISA or proxy intrgration of Surfcontol(which we have just put in here, in a mostly citrix enviroment).

    Problem with delete Action Query in MS Access 2000

    Is it deleting but not reporting the correct status or is it just not doing the delete? I would change your query to a select query and just check the query itself is looking at the data you expect.

    Sharing hard-drive

    If you are using NT servers to control your domain then you could use group pols and remote reg to save you a lot of hassle here since with these as part of your standard build you will have an administaive share to all drives

    Auto Logoff Win 98 worksation on NT 4.0 network.

    The only way I can think of is to schedule a task on the workstations to run shutdown. The Logon hours settings on the server will only stop ppl acually being able to log on outside those hours, it will not kick them out if they are still in past the given time.

    Connection to PC's

    No, Browsing to a machine should will only be a connection if you actually open a shared resouce. It is also worth noteing that even if no shares have been set up there will still be some administrator shares such as c$ which any admin can access.

    Connection to PC's

    Look to see if you have a program called netwatch.exe, usually in c:\windows on the workstations (certainly should work with win95) You can install it from add/remove programs and accessories in the windows components. Run this and it should tell you who or what is corrected and what they are...

    WINDOWS encountered an error accessing the SYSTEM REGISTRY

    This can also be caused by too much or faulty memory!! If you have more than 256Mb then try taking a stick out or if you have some memory laying around try another stick of memory.

    Desktop and Folder Redirection Issue

    Not sure if group policy will overwrite it anyway but you could try placing it in the all users profile on that one machine. If its a w2k machine the path is: C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs or for win95/8 it is: C:\windows\profiles\All Users\Start Menu\Programs

Best way to install is to burn the files to cd...
