I am wondering about the following: I am about to test a simple NLB cluster with the help of vmware. For that reason I want to have two LANs to play with. My computer has one NIC installed in the physical machine that uses the 192.168.0.0/24 adress space. I have two virtual machines installed...

Volume Shadow Copy is only intended as a quick way of getting older versions of files without running down the companys it-department and ask for the backup all the time. It works only as Lostwages mentions above on network shares. Volume Shadow Copy is not intended as a replacement of...

If you are running a domain on your windows 2003 server, you can distribute your software as .msi files through group policies to your end users (aka: clients). They (clients) will then initiate the installation of the software, when they log on to your domain. :-)

Can you confirm that AUOptions is set to 4 and that the computers actually are using this value? It should not do any notifications at all when using this value. But as in other parts of the life, theory and practice often crashes ... hmm

I would keep doing the same operation as you are doing now, performing a backup of the system state of the server. You really don´t need to script anything. It is possible to specify a system state backup and schedule it to be running at specific times of your choice from GUI. Of course, if...

If workgroup: Right-click my computer -> manage -> local users and groups -> right-click username -> choose reset password If domain: Open Active directory users and computers -> go to the user OU the user is in -> right-click user name -> reset password. (as markdmac is pointing out, you can...

What operating system are you using?

Yeah! That will definitely pay off :-)

Have you tried installing Palm Desktop and performed a hotsynch?

Well, except that you are asking kind of a NT4 question in the Windows 2000 forum, I may try to help you out :-) What you are looking for is a way to remove access for some specific users and/or groups to timedate.cpl You could do this via scripting (vbscript for instance), if you want to...

I do not like scripting in general. Well, I DO script something, but as little as I can. Mark the note at the support article you are referring to: "NOTE: The solution that is described in this article is not supported by Microsoft. Use this method at your own risk." A better way to make a...

Out of curiosity ... why do you want to disable/enable GPO´s over the task scheduler? Do you want different GPO´s to apply at different hours or what? Can you fill me in with some info about your scenario please? :)

This greatly depends on how this database solution is programmed, but as you mentioned yourself .. a standard client-server database solution is not especially friendly to an environment with limited bandwith. You have three angles to attack this as I see it: 1) You can change your application...

lgarner: That is correct. I did not indicate that the *ordinary* telnet service would listen to port 2468 either. lmoe: when trying lgarners tip can you see port 2468 listed on the screen? I know that a lot of those polling-tools that are available ... very often requires some kind of client...

Have you checked the eventlogg for errors? What type of error message do you receive when the installation fails?

Yes. NoAutoUpdate = 0 AUOptions = 4 ScheduledInstallDay = 0 (?) ScheduledInstallTime = (fill in a number between 0 - 23) This way the updates should be automatically downloaded and installed on the time schedule that you specify without user intervention. Don´t take my answer for it, but I...

Yes there is: Right click "My Computer" -> Manage -> Services and Applications -> Services -> Double click the service of your choice -> Choose the "Recovery" tab. You can define what to do when the service fails (I guess it is more interesting getting info about failing services than getting...

There should be no problem using the firstname.lastname syntax. AD should handle this without problems. We use the same naming syntax at the company I work for :-)

Yes, I have one suggestion. Give the system account access to the locations where the installation files are placed. Often .msi files etc runs as user system and then you can get some strange errors even if you have made sure that you are logged on with the administrator account and you have...

Open your registry and find or create the following key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate\AU Create the required DWORD values from the list below: Value: NoAutoUpdate 0 - Enable Automatic Updates (Default) 1 - Disable Automatic Updates Value...
