    Exporting user info into a file

    I have a need to export user data from several Novell 4.11 networks into files that can be complied into one file and then imported back into a new server. I looked up the ICE utility on Novell's site. Any ideas on other utilities that might work better for me? Will ICE work with 4.11? Thanks

    Restricting users from installing programs

    Take a look at what local groups your users are members of. If they belong to the local admin group, take them out. That will prevent them from instaling most programs jus by itself.

    PDC also controls printers - is this bad practise ?

    locked out of workstation at home

    If you use NT a lot a great tool to get is ERD Commander from <A HREF="http://www.sysinternals.com" TARGET="_new">www.sysinternals.com</A>.

    LM host files vs. Wins and DNS

    I'm not real sure from what you stated how your intranet was set up or what exactly these links are doing. My first question is to just rename the links after they have been created to a more friendly name. Even though the computer name is "423fgs65" you can rename the link "Bob's...

    basic iis

    You can ctreate a virutal directory in IIS to store your files. This behaves "sort off" like a mapped drive in that IIS behaves as though the folder is local even though it is not. This should open up plenty of locations for extra drive space with out having to move IIS.

    NT4 Server Crash

    Jrr, you didn’t say anything else about what you’re running on the server, but generally that error means that a driver is not cleaning up properly. Some of the known times that this happens are:<br> If you’re running with over 4 gig of ram - fixed with SP2,<br> If you’re running SNA...

    I've seen this several times myself and it can happen with any of the office products.

This appears to happen because the call from outlook to the program has...
