Sorry, forgot to say most PCs are Windows 2000 Pro with a few XP Pro. We are running W2K server with Active Directory and I was hoping to do this via Group Policy but will also look at 3rd party products if they will do the job. Penny

We are currently installing a new Time & Attendance system and our employees will be able to 'clock in' and 'clock out' on their PCs via a web browser, rather than swiping a card through a clocking machine. We need to automate this as much as possible and have found that by adding a Login script...

Thanks Geoff. Just tried that and it worked a treat! I thought it must be something fairly straightforward. Thank you for your help.

Yes I have made sure it is the only thing running and there are no add-ins on this particular PC. The user only uses Excel in a very simple way and is the sort that will ask us before making even the smallest change to any applications. That's why I think he may have clicked on something...

Yes, I was sort of coming to that conclusion myself but am trying to resist. What confuses me is that yesterday morning Excel worked perfectly, then it started crashing so I was hoping it might be a setting that has been inadvertently changed in Excel and I could just (un)tick a box to cure the...

Hi, One of my users has a very strange problem. Yesterday afternoon his Excel 2000 started crashing every time he tried to type anything into any cell. It didn't matter whether it was a new or existing worksheet he was using, he would open Excel, open the required spreadsheet or use a new one...

Not sure. I thought it came in on port 80 with normal HTTP traffic. That's how we've seen it on our firewall. We had to turn all the logging on in order to see chat traffic, but we have never managed to catch the voice traffic at all. I may be wrong so does anyone else know whether it uses a...

Thanks Dan. Interesting articles. I have read similar articles myself, particularly the Info-Tech one which warned IT Managers not to allow Skype because of the nature of peer-to-peer. I think I'll err on the side of caution until someone can prove to me that it's safe. By the way, when you...

I hope this is the correct forum for this post as there doesn't seem to be an appropriate one, but here goes. I manage the IT service for 2 companies and one of them wants to start to use Skype to communicate with one of their customers out in China at the customer's request. I told them that I...

Hi, We are shortly going to be moving the users at one of our Sister companies onto Exchange and want everyone to have an Exchange maibox on the server, which they will see in Outlook. Currently users on that site have their e-mail delivered into individual PST files which they access through...

Hi, Could anyone help? What i have is a db with the following fields Part_Num Date Cost_set in the part field there can be multiple entries for the same part all relating to the cost set ( cost set 1, 2, 3 etc ) and the date field has the date of when the particular cost set was added, when i...

We have just upgraded from v8.6 to v10.0 and it went surprisingly smoothly. All jobs, settings, etc. were migrated from one version to another but I did have to go through all the jobs afterwards as some parameters had not been transferred properly,eg. the backup device was not the correct one...

Thanks to both of you. I have followed your advice and everything checked out OK after removing and reinstalling the Remote Agent on the Remote server. However, I still have the same error message when attempting to back up our Oracle database on this remote server using the Oracle Agent. I have...

We have just upgraded from BENT8.6 to BEWS 10.0 and I have pushed out the Remote Agent to all my remote servers (mixture of W2K and NT4). Everything backs up fine except for one server, which just happens to be our Oracle database server. I have installed the Oracle Agent with no problems and...

We are running BENT v8.6 on a W2K server and until yesterday we had a Compaq SDLT 110/220GB tape drive attached externally via SCSI. Everything was fine. We purchased a Quantum Valueloader VS160 and connected that to the SCSI card using the same cable as the old tape drive - just swapped it from...

OK. Bit of an upate on this one in case it will help anyone figure it out. We have discovered that the file attachments being sent from users on the local Exchange server to the users on the remote Exchange server cannot be see in Outlook or OWA when sent from an Outlook client. But they CAN be...

I have 2 exchange servers on seperate sites in the same Exchange Organization. The recipients on the 2 servers have different e-mail addresses as we are 2 different companies. I do not wish to route between the 2 servers, but want all mail to be routed externally to future-proof against the day...

We have recently installed a second Exchange 2000 server at our remote site and have moved some of the mailboxes belonging to the users on that site from our local Exchange server to the new remote server. Mail is flowing from us to them (and vice versa) over Routing Group connectors utilising a...

OK solved it. Just in case anyone has the same problem here is what we did: In the recipient Policy for Company B, made the address for Company A secondary and unchecked the box 'This Exchange Organization is responsible for all mail delivery to this address' making it non-authoratitive. Now...

Hi wdoellefeld Yes, your statement is correct. E-mail sent internally from Company A to Company B recipients is routed externally. This happens whether they have only address B, or both addresses. How do I configure Exchange to accept mail for both companies? I think we may be on to something...
