I don't think your product id is going to matter since you will be paying for the support. They never asked me for a product id for win2k server or exchange server when I paid for support. -Jason -Jason Romans 12:1-2

It's a permissions issue. Make sure that the permissions are set correctly for the inetpub folder according to Microsoft specs. I had this problem and had a Microsoft engineer walk me through what the permissions should be on the Inetpub folder and subfolders and it solved the problems. Sorry...

Other users shouldn't be able to access that person's mail. It sounds like rights are not set up correctly all around. -Jason Romans 12:1-2

I have been running this for several years. It was Exchange 5.5 on NT4.0 as the PDC and then it was upgraded to W2k and then about 2 months later Exchange was upgraded to 2000. Just make sure you do all that Microsoft says to do to secure the web server as much as you can. Do not allow...

Here's one from Microsoft: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;q310380 There's also some great information here: http://www.exchangeadmin.com/Forums/Thread.cfm?CFID=19223861&CFTOKEN=74289282&CFApp=72&Thread_ID=82909 Here are a couple of sites that will test your server to...

I've never heard of that before, but you could go into the options in Explorer and click on the advanced tab and click the "Restore Defaults" button and see if that corrects it. If not, try to think of anything you may have loaded recently that might be acting as a "Download...

Try using "localhost" as the address and see if that works. -Jason

Security groups allow for grouping for purposes of securing rights or priviledges whereas distribution is for grouping on the basis of e-mail needs. If you are using exchange server 2000, the distribution groups allow you to group like people so that you can send one message to the group and...

I would suggest that you look into Kixstart as your scripting tool. It does some great things and they have some samples of how to map drives and even put shortcuts on users' desktops to areas on the network, etc... http://www.kixstart.org -Jason

You may want to consider adding a second NIC card to your DC's and use Load Balancing software to double the throughput of your network send/receive since that it primarily what takes place in a W2k DC. A good one to look into is NIC Express from IP Metrics. http://www.ipmetrics.com Hope that...

If your DHCP info is coming from your ISP's router, then DNS is pointing to your ISP's DNS. Your workstations have to be pointed to the Domain controller for DNS in order for Active Directory to work. I would have them turn off DHCP from the Router and do it from the server. Set the...

It could be an indication that your ISP may be sending a couple of bad packets here and there. It could also be an indication that your NIC card is having problems. I would say that it is more likely something to do with your ISP since it is only happening in packets from them. I wouldn't...

Check to see if the server can connect to anything else via UNC in run. If not, it may be your TCP/IP settings or a problem with the NIC card. Check the Subnet mask and make sure that is correct. Also, check to make sure that it is still a member of the domain and it points to your Domain...

I've seen this happen when the domain isn't specified in the TCP/IP properties on a win9x machine and/or the machine isn't logging into the domain on a win2k/xp machine. Make sure that the machine is specifying the domain in the TCP/IP or in the login window. -Jason Hand

I haven't ever heard of deleting the root from the DNS server. I certainly haven't done that and mine works fine with the forwarders. I wouldn't delete the root without confirmation from Microsoft. -Jason Hand

I have been running the setup you describe with an ISP hosted domain name and my domain using the same name for 2 years with no issues. It works fine and makes it easier when describing what a domain is to the users and what to use when asked for it. -Jason Hand

Yes, the Routing and Remote access can be setup to do VPN. It works well, though I would put it behind a firewall. -Jason Hand

Sometimes memory errors are from bad memory. You may want to try using a different manufacturer of ram or replace the ram you have or if you have recently added more, replace just that ram. Make sure that the ram you get is correct for the computer you are putting it into. -Jason

Another option is to take an old Pentium computer and put 2 nic cards in it and then go to this site and download the Smoothwall firewall and burn the image to a CD and install it. It works well and does NAT and web caching and VPN and is FREE. It was easy to set up and configure...

You can also download the manual from their website. It is impossible to create the scripts without the manual. There are also some sample scripts that it offers for suggestions. Just remember that if you are using win2k servers, you have to create groups and put people into those groups...
