    100% CPU usage on W2K server

    Use task manager on the server, Click the processes tab, then click on the word CPU at the top of the cpu column, this will sort the processes by most utilization. Watch it when someone logs in and you'll see which process is consuming the utilization. That will get you started on which program...

    Help with W2K Professional Clients in a WINNT Domain.

    I would forget about the workgroup and put all your PCs in the domain. All users use thier domain accounts and you don't have to concern yourself with local accounts. All admin work is done a one central point. Establish a PC naming convention and change the PC names IE.(1GROUP001, 1GROUP002...

    W2K server on Dell 6300

    The thread does not mention you trying to start out with booting with a Dell OpenManager Server Assistant CD. Give that a try. I dont think you can convert from raid 0 to 5.

    Which is better RAID 1 or RAID 5?

    WE have a new Dell 6550 server being setup with win2k. It has 5 internal 73gb drives (maxed out). The first two are a mirrored pair, RAID 1. My question is how to best setup the last three. Is a RAID 5 better than RAID 1 with a hot swap spare? The net space is the same. We'll put two data...

    Resizing Server Partitions

    If is not your OS partition, just copy off your data to somewhere else, delete & recreate your partitions, and copy back the data. How about PowerQuest products? http://www.powerquest.com/partitionmagicpro/

    Curios Problem

    Sounds like your screen resolution changed. Right click on the desktop, choose properties and check you screen resolution, set it back to 800x600 or 1024x768

    Moving from a Mirror set to RAID 5. How difficult?

    The OS will not be protected. If mirroring the OS is important, you could leave the original drives in place and instead of going with a 3 drive Raid 5, add a second pair of mirrored drives (assuming you can't have more that 4 drives total). With this new bigger partition, copy the contents of...

    Moving from a Mirror set to RAID 5. How difficult?

    Yes it is. Keep in mind RAID 5 is called "stripped set with parity". This gives you the fault tolerance, a stripped set by itself (raid 0) does not. RAID 5 example: if you use 3 2gig drives your net free space is 4gig (one drive is committed to parity). Typically your second drive set...

    Moving from a Mirror set to RAID 5. How difficult?

    The OS partition must remain on the mirror or single drive since NT cannot operate on a RAID 5 drive. You would have to add a second group of drives (min 3) in a RAID 5 configuration to net more space this way and it would logically become another drive letter on your system. I'm assuming your...
