If you're looking for built-in system commands, take a look at an NT command, "net statistics", which apart from providing all the vital network stats also shows the startup time of an NT server or workstation. "net statistics server |more" for server side stats "net...

Hi, We've a C3650 workstation with two internal hot-swap HDDs. Last time we rebooted the system, it didn't mount the second HDD which has one one lv on a single vg. The pvdisplay gives the following error: hp01:/]pvdisplay /dev/dsk/c3t5d0 pvdisplay: Warning: couldn't query physical volume...

Thanks Desiree, you're great! Mubashir No one's worth your tears. The one who is, won't make you cry.

How can we view the message header in Outlook 2000, like we did in Outlook 97? Mubashir No one's worth your tears. The one who is, won't make you cry.

Below is a classical case of a crashed NT system making partial recovery, marked with complications: The System: Dual-Pro AcerAltos 21000 with hardware based RAID Disks: Two mirrored 17.5 GB SCSI disks OS: Windows NT 4.0 Partitions: 2 GB FAT, 5 GB NTFS, 9 GB NTFS Domain: Win2k Mixed mode This...

Another case of MS doesn't help... Edit the registry as described below to add a new entry: HKLM > SOFTWARE > Microsoft > Windows > CurrentVersion > Policies > Network Here, add a new DWORD 'DisablePwdCaching' and set its value to 1. Exit and reboot. Here's the logic: normally Windows caches...

Now that you've overcome most of your problems, Hanson, you can make NT see the entire of your drives by installing service pack 4 or above. Regarding FT, you've made the right choice keeping in mind all the circumstances. However, I wish to add a new angle to this discussion. Since you're...

In the control panel, you should see the Console icon. Try it's display properties, use full screen mode. Note that this will apply to all instances of cmd.exe apps you'll start. You can also try the same with the DOS app icon which you wish to run separately. Mubashir...

Have you compared your NT 4 server with any identical NT 4 server or workstation. Your Win2K server is actually NT 5, a step ahead of NT 4, with presumably superior hardware. That can be one of the reasons for the read/write time difference you've noticed. But then, there can be other reasons...

Try these at command prompt: net user username net user /? for more help. Mubashir muhammad.mubashir@sbp.org.pk Imagination is more important than knowledge. - Newton

As you are in mixed mode, something which I missed initially, there are a few things which you might like to consider, if you haven't already: Win2K clients in a mixed mode domain default to Kerberos Authentication, meaning can't be authenticated by the NT BDC. Which means that win2k clients go...

I hope I'm not too late on this. Besides hardware, equally commendable is the man who managed your 'rock solid' server. I use Windows NT Diagnostics report as a way of keeping the 'case history' of all our servers. I get a periodic print out (six months or so) of this report to track down any...

Is there any specific error message? Have you tried your scripts on the LAN? Is the configuration for scripts correct on the PDC? Mubashir muhammad.mubashir@sbp.org.pk Imagination is more important than knowledge. - Newton

I've been thinking about this all day and I must say it's baffling me. Yes, there are entries in the registry by which can fiddle with browser service. But the whole process of browser thingy is so automatic that there’s hardly any need for arm-twisting. All one may do once in awhile is to...

Yes, i think it's possible. Like I said earlier, Task Scheduler replaces the Schedule service. The Schedule service no longer shows up in the Services utility in Control Panel. I assume you're using IE 5 or higher with Task Scheduler. You must know that Task Scheduler can't be used from command...

First of all you should ensure that your batch file runs fine manually. Prior to Task Scheduler, tasks needed to be configured using the AT command and the Schedule service. Internet Explorer ver 5 upgrades the Windows NT 4.0 Schedule service (Atsvc.exe) to the Task Scheduler (Mstask.exe). You...

mcconmw, for my own interest I wish to see your batch routine. Could you send me a copy too? I would really appreciate. TIA, Mubashir muhammad.mubashir@sbp.org.pk Imagination is more important than knowledge. - Newton

Aha...I must have mentioned this before, the logical and physical disk counters aren't available by default. We have to use the DiskPerf utility at the command prompt with the -Y switch to enable the logical and physical disk counters for monitoring both locally and remotely the next time the...

It's fairly simple: A. Open Performance Monitor. B. Click View > Alert. C. Click Options > Alert... D. Next check Network Alert checkbox and specify ONE username, computer or group to be notified of the alert. E. Now add the Logicaldisk object, choose Free Space counter and set the desired %age...

Or explore NT's native commands... Try this at command prompt: net user > userlist.txt Then open userlist.txt from systemroot. It's just that simple! Mubashir muhammad.mubashir@sbp.org.pk Imagination is more important than knowledge. - Newton
