    Re-routing incoming external mail.

    Do you guys even read the posts? "This had previously been done by our ISP who are no longer carrying out this function" Thanks for the SMTP transport event sink tip though, will look into that. Managed to get a workaround anyway by adding a second smtp e-mail address to all users...

    unable to update public free/busy data

    I refer to the DNS address for the server hosting Active Directory. I was assuming that your Exchange server was part of a domain and if so then it will be the DNS server for that domain. S.

    unable to update public free/busy data

    Not sure if this will help you but we managed to remove this problem by putting the correct DNS settings for the server. For some reason the PC's Outlook calendar was unable to talk to the Exchange server. Try changing your DNS settings to match you old server. Hope this helps S.

    Re-routing incoming external mail.

    Hi all, Is there a program or script which will allow me to rename incoming external e-mail addresses e.g. anonymous@scan.somewhere.co.uk to anonymous@somewhere.co.uk At the moment I am getting my external e-mail scanned by an external company and the e-mail comes back with the 'scan' part of...

    Scheduled task not running

    Ensure that you use the new user's full account name i.e. domain\user when entering it into the scheduled task settings, also ensure that the new user has 'full access' to the location where the exe's reside. S.

    Scheduled task not running

    Just to mention that if you create a batch file with e.g. ping 123.45.67.8 -t name it ping.bat and save it on the desktop, if you double-click it to run it, it won't run properly. But if you change it to: cdping 123.45.67.8 -t name it ping.bat and save it on the desktop. it will run once...

    Scheduled task not running

    What task are you running? I've had a few problems running Xopy batch files using the task scheduler. My workaround was to change the batch file text e.g. xcopy c:\afile.txt f:\bfile.txt to cdxcopy c:\afile.txt f:\bfile.txt My problem was that when the scheduled task kicked off the batch...

    Win 2K Server

    Just a thought, but have you tried deleting the offending workstation's account from the Domain Controller and then rejoining the Workstation to the domain. It sounds as if your TCP/IP is working fine (you can "manage" the DC) but the Workstation's SID on the server may be out of...

    Terminal services printing problem

    Hi there, It sounds as if you Print Spooler service is stopping. Once this is stopped your printers will dissapear. Rebooting the server causes this service to restart. What you can do is either go into 'Services' on the server and manually start the Print Spooler service OR a better...

    Limiting Folder Size

    Sounds about right, so... 1. create folders on the volume that you wish to quota 2. create a group 3. assign relevant access permissions for group to folders 4. Enable disk quota on Volume/Disk, add your newly created group into 'Quota Entries for Local Disk x' and then set the quota limit...

    Logging into domain takes ages!

    Hi there, I had the same problem without the length log in time but this was due to an incorrect DNS setting within my adapter settings. I didn't have any type of firewall installed. Try booting server in safe mode and removing/changing the DNS setting. Might help, might not. Did for me...

    Limiting Folder Size

    Don't know if this helps but Once you enable Disk Quotas on the Volume containing the home directories, you can then limit each user's disk usage within this volume to 500MB. I realise that this quota is cumulative across the volume and not just assigned to the folder but it still prevents the...

    Terminal Server 2000 Printer Names Too long

    Hi all, When my users connect to my terminal servers, the automatically generated printer names are starting to get too long. Initally all was well and the printer names consisted of Workstation\printer\session number. Now the terminal server seems to be appending names onto previous printer...

    Hi all, I have 50+ Laptop users who require to change IP addresses between sites. Is there a way to change the Pc's Ip address by batch file, logged in as a user other than administrator. I am using a Netsh command in a batch file which works great but will only run with administrator...
