Howdy. We are putting a high-end box in place to be our main database server. By high-end, I mean a dual-processor, 2gb RAM box with RAID 1. We are a small place (only 60 users), however the database is going to serve as our "business runner" application. As such, we want to maintain a...

Hello All... We want to remove one of our Active Directory servers from service. The question is, can we safely delete the machine's account (remove it from the domain), replace the physical box with a better machine, yet give the new machine the name of the server that's been removed? Is there...

Howdy All. Got a strange problem with one of my Win2k Pro SP4 machines. Basically, what I'm seeing is that the NetLogon and ComputerBrowser services are totally missing on this computer. They do not appear in the Services area. Whenever anyone but the local admin or the daily user tries to sign...

Hello. Got a strange issue going on with one of my workstations. The workstation is a brand new Win2k Pro build. We unboxed it today and slapped the OS onto it (we don't use any imaging software or anything...small outfit...doing it the hard way). Any-hoo...when it came time to put our apps on...

Has anyone ever heard of a trojan called "FileNail.100"? I happened across it in a network scan of my network, and it happens to be on my workstation. I ran a trojan scanner and it found the program had a certain port open. I verified it by using a port scanner, which indicated the port was open...

Howdy Folks. Thanks for the answers. I really appreciate them. I apologize...I didn't mention something very important. We do not allow users to change their passwords, and we do not expire them (we force a change manually...not dealing with too many people). So, I think we can rule out them...

The default in the Account Lockout threshold policy object is 3, no? I seem to remember clicking on "Define this Policy" and seeing it pop in there. I can't imagine why Microsoft or anyone would think 50 is a good threshold, as it would seem to me to make password guessing that much...

Howdy. We have a mixed bag on our stuff here (mostly 98 clients, with some 2k Pro SP4 thrown in). We have four Win2k Server SP4 servers, 3 of which participate in AD, with the other being a Terminal Server. About 3 weeks ago I set the Account Lockout Policy for the domain to the standard 3...

Hello. When working in Server Manager and I click on "Replication" I get the following error: "Network Path could not be found" on my FSMO server. On another server in the network I get a different error when checking replication: "The specified component could not be...

Got a question on load balancing. I am attempting to install it in order to utilize it in Term Services (Win2k SP4 server). However, when I attempt to install the service, it is not in the installable services window. Is this only available on different versions of Win2k Server, for example...

Howdy. Been having trouble for quite some time using IE6 (with latest patches). The problem is when I try to go to certain websites, I keep getting the standard "Server could not be located...check your DNS settings...yada yada yada". If I hit refresh 2-3 times, the error will...

Hello mjbianco15. Thanks for the info. Isn't this something that can be done via the Term Services tab in their user accounts? I've tried using this, but it doesn't seem to work. I connect "G" to their data area, but it doesn't work.

Hello All. I am having trouble setting up default file locations in MS Word/Excel using Term Services. Meaning, I want my users to be able to log into a term services session that fires off Word, then click the "Open" icon, or click Open from the file menu, and be at the point where...

devastator: Thanks for the info. This seems like a major inconvenience. I have 3-4 people in a particular location that come in via term services, and they grab a new license every time, it appears. I have to wait 90 days to get them back? I've already installed SP4, so I hope the fix is included.

Hello. Is there way to "release" some of my term services licenses? I notice in the license manager that 8 of my 10 licenses have been issued, even though there's only 2-3 people in the system at a time via term services. Is there a way to get these licenses back when they log out...

Hello. We have been spinning our wheels trying to find a solution that would work with our SCSI tape drive. We've tried EVERYTHING. Nothing suits us. My question is, should we move away from tape? What is the status of tape today? Are people moving towards CDRW towers? Or some other type of...

Anyone know where I can find some fairly decent documentation on MS Backup? I'm not looking for the MS Help files...thanks for any info. Dennis Jones

Howdy again. Well, we are unable to ping the server by name from the workstation in question. We also tried the FQDN without success. We are, however, able to ping by name all of our other servers. As stated previously, the workstation has multiple drives mapped to other servers. Something to...

Howdy. There is no connectivity problem. The user can ping it. Also, there are multiple users going into the same share, so perms are not an issue. We are using whichever drive letter is available...no specific one.

We are unable to map a network drive on a Win2k Pro SP4 box. The box is trying to map to a share on our terminal server (Win2k SP4 member server). I am able to map the drive on multiple other machines (2k and 98SE) without a problem. We tried to map the drive from a DOS prompt and got a System...
