    Backing up Solaris 9 with RAID

    Hi all, I'm new to Solaris and as such am having great difficulties working out how to back up the operating system. I thought I understood from my trusty book and created level 0 ufsdumps of my RAID 1 system disks and also my RAID 5 data disks. All was going well (or at least I thought it was)...

    Query running very slowly when executed through VBA

    Thanks for your answers Jim and Ken. It appears that there is no way to speed up this query. Instead of speeding it up I have opted to show a progress bar instead. At least the users can see that something is happening and won't use task manager to close the app anymore. Have a star each for...

    Query running very slowly when executed through VBA

    Jim, The query type is Dynaset. Would changing this to Snapshot make it any quicker? If so would I need to change the code that opens the recordset? Thanks Andy

    Query running very slowly when executed through VBA

    Ken, I'm not sure what the Query Optimiser is but I guess it temporarily holds info about queries so they run quicker next time? If I'm correct I tried to test this by closing Access and then running the query before I did anything else. The query still returned almost instantly. Would my test...

    Query running very slowly when executed through VBA

    Hi all, I am trying to execute a query using Microsoft Access that has linked tables to a SQL server database. When I execute the query in Access, the results are returned almost instantly. However, when I run it through VBA, using a recordset, the recordset takes about 11 seconds to create...

    Write to a local file using a relative path

    ok, that explains why the ../ didn't work then. Although I thought it would have gone 1 folder up from either the .js file or the .htm file that called the function. Thanks anyway vbkris - anyone else know how to do this?

    Write to a local file using a relative path

    Hi, I have managed to write to a local file using the following javascript: fso = new ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject"); s = fso.OpenTextFile("C:\\test.txt", 2, 1, -2); s.writeline("This is a test"); s.Close(); But I would like to make the path relative. I have tried changing the...

    New Password Policy Doesn't Work!!

    I'm having the same problem. I set our password policy on one server...look at the domain security policy from another and it's not the same!! Did you work out what causes this NewNetworkAdmin?

    Log Visits - log location

    Hi, I'm sure this is a really simple question for those who know, but I simply can't work it out... When you select 'Log Visits' in the properties of a virtual directory, where are these logs saved? Thanks Andy

    SMTP Queue Problem

    Your DNS server should point to itself In the event viewer of the DNS server it often has a warning that says: The DNS server encountered a packet addressed to itself -- IP address x.x.x.x. The DNS server should never be sending a packet to itself. This situation usually indicates a...

    SMTP Queue Problem

    Sorry lander215 I must have misunderstood a previous post. The NIC on the Exchange server should ONLY be pointing to an internal DNS server? It currently has as its preferred DNS server our internal DNS and as its alternate one of the ISP's DNS servers. Is this not correct. As I said I'm new...

    SMTP Queue Problem

    Thanks for the suggestion lhuegele. I just checked and in Exchange there are no DNS servers set up. I assume it uses the system's DNS servers ie the ones set up through control panel.

    SMTP Queue Problem

    One other thing... In the list of queues, when the queue has sent all of its messages, what should the icon look like next to the queue name? Should it be a green circle with a tick in it? Other than the local delivery queues, there are no green circles with ticks. The icons are either an open...

    SMTP Queue Problem

    Just to clarify what's going on... The majority of emails get stuck in a queue. Sometimes you can send an email and it will go straight away, but there are quite a few domains for which emails simply get stuck. The user firstly gets a message saying that their email is delayed, but they don't...

    SMTP Queue Problem

    Yeah, but there are other queues with legitimate email that are stuck just the same.

    SMTP Queue Problem

    Thanks for the suggestion peterpark. I looked at all the queues to see where the emails were originating from and they are all coming from internal addresses. They were actually all, apart from about 4 or 5, from the postmaster. Can anyone shed any light on this?

    SMTP Queue Problem

    The servername.domain is our servername and our domain. Surely there can't be this many problems all on their end's?!? The DNS settings are... primary DNS - our internal DNS server secondary DNS - the external one Shouldn't this work the same as the setup you explained?

    SMTP Queue Problem

    Just looked back at your previous message lander215, the NDR when the emails timeout is: Could not deliver the message in the time limit specified. Please retry or contact your administrator. servername.domain #4.4.7>

    SMTP Queue Problem

    I've looked in the FAQ section and followed the instructions to ensure we're not an open relay. All the settings are correct. I've also looked at your link tyrobert, thanks. Unfortunatley, they all keep pointing to being an open relay server, which I'm sure we're not. I'm doing another test...
