Thanks.

You are correct in saying they are both server2000 servers. I have tried using dcpromo and I get the message that 'failed finding suitable domain controller for the domain, the specified domain either does not exist or cannot be contacted' I can ping the other domain controller by name and by...

The servers want to join to my 'new' domain are on another domain at the present, one is a PDC the other I presume the BDC, its a server2000 domain. The new domain is a server2003 domain. I want to join the old servers as domain controllers to the new domain, does this make sense, sorry new...

Can anyone tell me how to do this? We have just set up a new domain and want to add old domain servers to the new domain. The old is server2000 the new is server2003.

Thanks so much everyone

Installed new network, we have 2 campus's so we have a server in each campus. Best practises for DNS in this case? We are connected via a 3mb telstra megalink. Do I set up a DNS in each site or user forwarders? No time to read up on it, so thought one of you lovely people might give me some tips

New info The policy will work if we make the user a local profile but not as a roaming profile. So we have to make the user a local and them login - policy works ok, - then copy the profile to the server - then all ok?? Any ideas??

Thanks all, I think I have enough reading to last me a while now, I do appreciate all your help Chris

Our computers folder is directly under the domain, the OU's are set to divide year levels and campus's, can I 'move' the computers folder to under the campus OU? I am a bit scared to try as we are so short of time and I don't want to destroy anything.

Thanks David for that info, ok then we have tried to do just what you said, 'link the gpo to another ou' it seems to have done it ok and it appears but when you login as a user in the 'new' ou the policy does not apply? Sorry to be a pain but I am not understanding this very well. Chris

Thanks I will do, I am going to try and enrol in a admin type course soon so hopefully I will learn all this stuff

If you apply to computer, wouldn't you use the GPO on the group of computers that you want to apply it to? This policy I am setting up now is for an OU for year 12 students, in other words users. Do computer based policies work when applying to an OU of users?

Yes thanks that helps, I am totally new to this and trying to set up a server 2003 netword, always been Novell so finding it hard to 'forget' the way we did things in Novell and getting my head around MS server 2003 Thanks

Can anyone explain which I should be using? Or a book on the subject? There are so many settings and so many levels I am at a loss to know which to use! We want to apply polices to users but the policy needs to address computer settings such as background, prevent changes to all sorts of...

Anyone know how to do this, we are using active desktop with a particular background for different users (so we can see at a glance if a student or teacher is logged in.) This background come through ok sometimes but others only a small part appears at the top and the rest is black, is there a...

Huh? We are using roaming profiles with no local cache so I will not find documents and setting\username as this is not there with a roaming profile and no cache. I know that a profile is more than icons and desktop, I am not sure is I am reading your answer right or not? Chris

David We are using server 2003, we create the group policy in the OU that we want it to apply to, if we right click the OU we have under properties an option for Group Policy, this is where we said 'new' and then edited the policy as to how we wanted it. We now want to apply this policy to...

Do you mean put all the shortcuts into a network share and map a drive to it? Take all the shortcuts off the desktop, thanks for your help

Very slow to login using roaming profile. We are a college and need roaming profiles as the users 'roam', anyone got any idea's? We don't want to keep a cached copy on the local computer as we have found this slows the system down too when there gets to be a few on there. We plan to make the...

How do you copy Group Policies from one Organizational Unit to another? I tried adding the group policy from one OU to another, but that doesn't seem to work.
