I am still having issues and would like some assistance urgently. When I create a folder and share it as the root share for documents EVERYONE has full control over the folder (something I do not want). When I create a user folder it inherits the security of the parent (therefore EVERYONE now...

try the floppy on a non-networked system. If that does not work; search the web. I had a floppy with essential work on it (someone very stupid stored the only copy on a floppy!) and was able to use an online tool to recover most of the file. Unfortunately cannot remember where it was and do...

Does it not have a network port or can you set it to PXE via PCMCIA? Do you have a 2000 server? RIS will do it. If not then a remote CD drive can work (sometimes).

Thanks. I was aware of the MSI for Acrobat and that was actually where the conversation began from at work.

lander215 is absolutely correct - unless you can guarentee that both systems are using DHCP to acquire their IP addresses then you cannot, without remote desktopping the system, secure the local DNS settings.

True. Sorry for any offence - none intended. I stick to the final three though.

and then you have it as a logon script for all users within the GPO? I like it...

So your script also contains code that identifies the machine name? Could you not simply add it to the OU for the room?

yep, but that wasn't implied in the text. If it was remotely set and there is no means of remote desktop then there is no methodology that I can think of since you are asking a local computer to send out its settings via another workstation. ipconfig /all remote desktop walk to the other...

If it is in the same domain, with the same DHCP scope then simply run ipconfig /all in a cmd prompt and the results will be the same.

Okay, I'm on a typing spree now! We used to deliver software via MSIs but stopped when lots of the software failed miserably - more significantly Acrobat Reader. We have been using imaging software but that is falling apart like crazy primarily due to the need to find stable and reliable DOS...

Where I was going! Thanks for stealing my thunder! :) I should get to the point more quickly...

Does it add to a specific room or do users collect printers as they go? We use a local script to connect a room's printers and would prefer to make this far more central.

Sorry but being thick, are you working from the remote computer or want to know without going to the remote system? and is the system logged onto the domain successfully?

Can you, through the built in featuers of 2000, restrict users to the number of log ins they can have at the same time - basically ensuring that a user can only be logged on to one computer at any one time?

It sounds similar to the concept of DFS but without being set up correctly. You are accessing the AD structure within your domain, the non-DFS shares are not known to DFS and so the system is stopping you from connecting; that is my guess anyhow!

Is the remote system configured for remote desktop? A workstation? A little more detail please...

Can you describe your system; how many servers do you have and are they all promo'd to host AD?

I have noted that some how the individual user document area security rights have been altered. This now means that all the users of one group (STUDENTS) now have full control over everyone's documents. Obviously undesirable and potentially dangerous. This appears to be due to inheritance and...

I wouldn't necessarily give static IPs but reserved IPs within DHCP. The reason is simple: if your scope needs to change then you'll have to go to each printer and redefine the IP range and subnet mask which can be a real pain! I can understand your issue with the W2K print server system -...
