Thank you both for your insightful information. I am in the "throws" of the remaining tasks prior to executing the upgrade; backups and last minute tweaks. I appreciate your time and will keep you posted as to my progress. Best regards, Rick

Great post NDC. Here is what I will do.... 1. Run the Domain and Forest Prep on the remaining DC 2. Upgrade the OS on the Exchange Server to 2k3 (member server) 3. Upgrade Ex2k to Ex2k3 (following your previous post) 4. Upgrade the DC to 2k3 Since I am down to one DC and one Ex2k server, how...

Thanks NDC, I do have an Exchange 2k server, and was planning on moving it to Ex2k3 after I promote my DC's - (I demoted all but one...). For clarity, I should run the prep now, prior to the DC 2k upgrade and NOT after, when I upgrade the EX2k to EX2k3. Correct?

Simple question, sorry if it has been asked already.... I am planning on upgrading my 2k DC to a 2k3 DC... In a Domain with a single Domain Controller, do you need to run ADPrep or just upgrade the DC from 2k to 2k3? Thanks, Rick

Is the GPUPDATE /ENFORCE executable from a 2000 DC or do I need to / can I excute on a 2003 member server? According to this article http://www.microsoft.com/technet/treeview/default.asp?url=/technet/prodtechnol/winxppro/proddocs/sag_SCErestrictgroups.asp if left alone the policy will refresh...

I followed MS Article http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;q320065 on my 2K clients and it works great. However, on the XP ones it is not applied. Anyone have the same problem? I applied the XP templates to the GPO and made sure the GPO was configured properly. No other...

How do I delete a message from all the users account? I ran NAV for Exchange and filtered the subject line but the email is still out there. One of my users sent an email to the all staff distribution list regarding elections....totally against the law and now I must remove it. Steps I have...

My Boss, the big man of the company, had me set up his home and laptop computer to dial into our network using RAS. I configured his Outlook (2000 and 2002) to check mail on our Exchange 2000 server. The desktop (at home) connected and pulled all the email in Inbox. The laptop pulled whatever...

Is there a way to assign multiple login scripts in the user's profile path? I can't use a GPO because I have 9x clients that need to execute the bat file. Any ideas? Rick

Thanks Alex, I checked the .man permissions, and the permissions set on all the contents of the folder, including the parent. All are the same. The other users do pick the mandatory setting, but not the configuration which is the strange thing. Any thoughts? Rick

I created a local profile. Configured it the way I want - desktop, start menu etc. I logged on as an admin and copied the profile to a share on my server. \\servername\profile$\folder. I changed the .dat to .man and configured 25 user profiles in AD to pull the profile from the server. Here...

Hey Thanks Drexor. I will disable the "Freindly Error Messages" and see what turns up. Excellent point which I mised. You also mentioned the ASP pages excedding a limit, however that ASP pages work with an SQL databes, and on this particular server there are over 200 clients. Could...

Not sure if I am wording this correctly, but... What is the maximum number of open threads on IIS? Also, when users access our IIS server and open ASP pages they periodically receive and "Internet Client Error". Does anyone know what could be causing this error? TIA Rick

I would agree with hewissa and bwilliam in this situation. Block the users at the router. Or more specifically filter the ip addresses of the statically configured machine. Unless, what detroit is saying is that it is to apply to specific users, whereas what Matt had said, using gpo's would...

Ian, First, thank you for the reply and links. I did have a question regarding the "How to Optimize Active Directory Replication in a Large Network" under the section Reduce Use of Site-Link Bridges in Your Site Configuration it states that by disabling the site link bridges I have...
