We have clients that access the internet from different subnets so we have to manually enter the proxy settings. Looks like the registry hack seems the best way to implement the change. Do users need administrator privileges to run a registry 'change' file? If so, it would be easier to just...

Is it possible to schedule a reboot of a NT4 server? I need to reboot a server at a certain time every week but don't want to have to dial in to our network to do it. Regards,

That's great. Thank you. I've tried and tested it and it works fine. Regards,

Sorry, forgot to mention. My form is a standard HTML form which is submitted to an ASP script via the POST method. Does this make a difference? Regards,

I currently have a form which sends details to an e-mail address using CDONTS. I want to be able to record the IP address of the form's sender and send this with the rest of the information to an e-mail. Is this possible and how can I do this? Regards,

Clients get IP addresses from our DHCP server. How will this help me? Regards,

Is there a way of easily setting the proxy server settings in Internet Explorer 5.5 for certain users in our NT4 domain? I only want to customise certain users' machines but as a last resort, all machines could have this information set. We are running a combination of NT4 Workstation and...

Thanks. That small bit of knowledge will help a lot. Regards.

My Company restricts desktops using system policies so that nothing can be seen. i.e. there is no My Computer or Network Neighborhood, etc. All they can see is a customised Program Files list and the Run option. Is there an easy way of finding out a computer name on NT Workstation/W2K Pro by...

Check out www.eventid.net. An error similar to yours is listed but can only be accessed if you subscribe. I've checked out the technical database on Microsoft's web site but can't find anything related there.

Type the Event ID into www.eventid.net for a more detailed description and a list of possible solutions. Regards,

Can you browse the network from the W2K machine? i.e. go to My Network Places > Entire Network > Microsoft Windows Network. Do you see other computers on your domain? Check the event log of the W2K machine and look for any errors or warnings. If there are some, go to www.eventid.net and do a...

Check out www.eventid.net and do a search with your event id. This is a great site for solving problems located in the event log. I've pasted below some of their responses anyway: 1. This event can occur if there is not enough free disk space on the system partition. Once the space problem was...

That's strange but consider the following... In my System event log, the only events I usually see are Print notifications and the occasional hardware, DHCP and WINS warnings. If none of your member servers are print servers or DHCP/WINS servers then you might not see anything at all during...

You cannot remove a domain controller from a domain and replace it with a new machine and expect this to work. Servers and Workstations work on a basis of linked unique security identifiers to maintain security. Anyway... Insert your dying server back into the domain so you are back where you...

We use ERD Commander 2003 from www.winternals.com. This product has won loads of awards and will sort your problem out within seconds. It should be part of any system administrator's arsenal. Regards,

These folders are sometimes left behind after applying service packs to a PC. You are quite right to move these folders to another location, then waiting a while and deleting them later. That way if something was to go wrong, you can move them back to their original location.

Is it possible to give users Outlook but restrict their e-mail usage to internal use only? We have a group of users within the company that need to communicate but they shouldn't be able to receive or send external messages. I'm sure this is possible in Exchange but I don't know how to do it...

Just checked out www.ninaa.com and this confirmed my suspicions. Ninaa appears to be an internet appliance that acts as a proxy, mail server and content filtering tool. It is highly likely that ports 25 and 110 are blocked. Even if this is so, it is unlikely that unblocking these will help your...

It seems the Linux server is acting as a proxy server - an intermediate box that controls/monitors your HTTP and e-mail traffic. To get external access to your ISP (and therefore download e-mails), you'll need to be able to get access to the outside world from your PC. For example, can you...
