    Weird Samba printing problem

    Here's hoping one of you guys know the answer to this one. I have RH7.1 and Samba 2.2.2 running on 6 different servers. 4 of these work fine with file sharing and printing to SMB Windows printers. On 2 sites, however, the print goes astray. This is left in the spooler: printer abc unknown...

    Cannot ping hostname

    This is not as straightforward as it sounds. I have a HOSTS file correctly setup but cannot ping some of the names in the list. I can ping by IP address no problem. If, however I open the HOSTS file and resave it without any modifications, I can ping by HOSTNAME no problem. The next time the...

    Is there a patch to use USB ports?

    Hello all, I wonder if any of you know of a way to enable the USB ports in NT4 Workstation. I know the official line from MS is that they are not supported but would not be surprised if there was a 3rd party patch to fix this. Hope to hear of a solution :-) John

    BDC not authenticating to domain

    Panic Over! I have managed to re-establish the secure channel by using NLTEST /SYNC and NLTEST /REPL. Also I deleted the netlogon.chg files on both the PDC and BDC and let the system recreate them on reboot and the problem is solved.

    BDC not authenticating to domain

    Before anyone asks, I forgot to say that obviously I changed the IP address to use the structure of the site I moved the server to. John

    Out of office assistant doesn't reply with message

    The default configuration in Exchange 5.5 is to disable automatic replies to the Internet. You need to go to the IMC and click on Advanced Options. Uncheck the 'disable automatic replies to the internet' box and apply. Finally restart the IMS and your Out of Office replies should now work...

    A quick way to add 500 new addresses?

    I only know how to do this in Exchange 5.5. Click on the configuration container and then in the right pane double click Site Addressing. If you make any changes to the email addresses when you exit you are prompted if you want these changes to be made to all recipients in the site. Hope this...

    Cannot delete a folder named same as a share!

    I have a folder called USERS which used to be on C: drive. It was also shared as USERS. I then needed to move the folder from C: to D: because of space restrictions, so I unshared the USERS folder on C: and created a new USERS folder on d: I moved all the data across from c:\USERS to...

    Moving Exchange from C: to D:

    You need to run the Exchange Optimizer. It will allow you to move files from one drive to another safely without needing to change the registry manually. This is the recommended way of moving Exchange. :-) Hope this helps, John

    Resticting Access to create new public folders

    In the Exchange Admin program, select configuration and then Information Store Site Configuration. Click Top Level Folder Creation and then you can restrict or allow users to create Top Level folders as you wish. This should keep your structure in order.
