files marked as read only
I have a win 2k server my clients are using local installed office 2k, people are complaining that when they open their files on the server they are marked as read only.. I have verified they are the only one that have the file open but what I did notice when I got to the server AD and look at open files I see the user has the files open twice. So I went to their workstation which is a win98 client I verify they have only made one attempt at opening the file. I then go to the server and check how much time the file is open and sure enough it shows that user has the file open twice. So I go and close the file to only find there was only one file open. What I have had to do as a work around is have them save as a different name this allowed them to save the file now this is not the preferred method of doing business Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated thanks Stephen-Paul Yelland Miami County ESC http://www.sunbelt-software.com/ntsysadmin_list_charter.htm
Upgrading NT Domain to 2000 Domain
Title: Upgrading NT Domain to 2000 Domain Hello again, I actually sent this yesterday, but I wanted to rephrase a few things. When upgrading our NT Network to a 2000 Domain, we are trying to understand if we need to distinguish our internal network domain name from our external FQDN www.widgets.com. For example in NT our current internal domain name is "widgets" and our external website is widgets.com. When we upgrade to Win2k what are the ramifications of keeping our internal 2000 domain "widgets.com" and our external FQDN, widgets.com. Should we change our internal domain to widgetscorp.com or something comparable when we upgrade to win2k, and if we don't what happens. Widgets.com is currently hosted on our internal NT domain on an IIS 4.0 server, behind a raptor firewall, using redirection on the firewall, with DNS at our ISP. Once upgraded to 2000 it will continue to be located internally on our network behind the firewall with AD integrated DNS internally and external internet DNS at our ISP. Thanks for any help or suggestions in advance. http://www.sunbelt-software.com/ntsysadmin_list_charter.htm
RE: IIS and OWA
That's not so bad if it's just 20 clients. Beats having to spend US$350 for a certificate, and that's just for a 40 bit encryption key. Please note, that you also have to have a valid Fully Qualified Domain Name to use a Certificate. -Original Message- From: xylog [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, August 22, 2001 12:32 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Re: IIS and OWA You need to get a Secure Server Certificate. You can purchase one from Verisign or if you have Win2K Server you can install MS Certificate Server and generate your own cert. In order to do this you need to generate a Certificate Server Request or CSR from the IIS management console under the directory security tab, submit it and install the resultant certificatee. Problem with generating your own certificate is that you will need to install the Trusted Root Authority in your client browsers in order for it to work properly. xylog - Original Message - From: "Troy Rambo /278 Systems Specialist" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "NT System Admin Issues" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, August 22, 2001 10:47 AM Subject: RE: IIS and OWA > no we won't because this will only be used by a few of our outside sales > reps and the CEO and CFO. > > Maximim number of users will be about 20 and never at the same time. > > We're a small company, we don't need this set up on a server.

RE: Upgrading from NT Domain to Win2K Domain
Clayton put it very well, there is no wrong or right way. There are opportunities and trade-offs either way. We did not upgrade our existing NT4 mess (it was not an architecture, it was a mess, almost 400 separate domains most of them account) and choose to do a in-place migration. This allows us to clean up the mess and actually create an architecture. One issue we have is with the DNS hostname resolution. Our legacy namespace was a bit different then our new W2K one, so you need to understand how that can affect you. The legacy DNS was a mess also and while it worked, a decision was made not to bring that over into the new W2K DNS. The old legacy will be retired as the migration progresses. It is just that there are times when that can cause issues and you need to be able to deal with those. Not too bad though honestly and nothing that cannot be resolved so far.

When upgrading our NT Network to a 2000 Domain, we are trying to understand if we need to distinguish our internal network domain name from our external FQDN www.widgets.com. For example in NT our current internal domain name is "widgets" and our external website is widgets.com. When we upgrade to Win2k what are the ramifications of keeping our internal 2000 domain "widgets.com" and our external FQDN, widgets.com. Should we change our internal domain to widgetscorp.com or something comparable when we upgrade to win2k, and if we don't what happens. Widgets.com is currently hosted on our internal NT domain on an IIS 4.0 server, behind a raptor firewall, using redirection on the firewall, with DNS at our ISP. Once upgraded to 2000 it will continue to be located internally on our network behind the firewall with AD integrated DNS internally and external internet DNS at our ISP.

RE: Floppy doesn't show up in fresh install
Check your CMOS and see if there are any options for floppy controller address/irq/etc and make sure they are set to the motherboard defaults. I'd give odds that the floppy controller is set in the BIOS to use something NT can't recognize. Barring that.. If you really need to use that motherboard, disable the floppy controller in the BIOS (I'm ASSUMING this is an onboard controller) and scrounge up or buy a floppy/io controller from somewhere and try with that. That should work. Something on your mb is either a little wierd or your CMOS settings are strange. If it is something strange on the motherboard, I'd sure as hell find a different motherboard to build a server around. -Original Message- From: Marty Nelson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, August 22, 2001 3:01 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: Floppy doesn't show up in fresh install 1) No, the same CD that I've always used 2) Not from image from CD 3) Yes, I'm logged in as administrator I went ahead and installed W2K Pro, and the floppy shows up there...That means the board is fine.

Creating New Users in Win2K
Hi all, This is a personal choice thing, but I haven't found how to change it from the default. Using AD Users and Computers, I create a new user. That works out great. After the user is created, he/she shows up on the list as FirstName LastName. How can I have the user show up as LastName, Firstname? I'm manually doing a rename on the object (user), and getting it that way, but there must be a way to have it show up the way I want it to by default.

RE: Floppy doesn't show up in fresh install
Did you check the Hardware Compatibility List for both of the floppies you tried to use? Do those floppies work in other machines running W2K? If you can boot from it, then all your cables are connected, your BIOS is cool with it, so I would just make sure that the devices work under W2K. After that, maybe there is an issue on the Motherboard itself that W2K isn't happy with. Clayton Doige IT Manager MCSE, MCP + I Gameday International N.V.

When upgrading our NT Network to a 2000 Domain, we are trying to understand if we need to distinguish our internal network domain name from our external FQDN www.widgets.com. For example in NT our current internal domain name is "widgets" and our external website is widgets.com. When we upgrade to Win2k what are the ramifications of keeping our internal 2000 domain "widgets.com" and our external FQDN, widgets.com. Should we change our internal domain to widgetscorp.com or something comparable when we upgrade to win2k, and if we don't what happens. Widgets.com is currently hosted on our internal NT domain on an IIS 4.0 server, behind a raptor firewall, using redirection on the firewall, with DNS at our ISP. Once upgraded to 2000 it will continue to be located internally on our network behind the firewall with AD integrated DNS internally and external internet DNS at our ISP.

Re: IIS and OWA
You need to get a Secure Server Certificate. You can purchase one from Verisign or if you have Win2K Server you can install MS Certificate Server and generate your own cert. In order to do this you need to generate a Certificate Server Request or CSR from the IIS management console under the directory security tab, submit it and install the resultant certificatee. Problem with generating your own certificate is that you will need to install the Trusted Root Authority in your client browsers in order for it to work properly. xylog - Original Message - From: "Troy Rambo /278 Systems Specialist" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "NT System Admin Issues" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, August 22, 2001 10:47 AM Subject: RE: IIS and OWA > no we won't because this will only be used by a few of our outside sales > reps and the CEO and CFO. > > Maximim number of users will be about 20 and never at the same time. > > We're a small company, we don't need this set up on a server.

RE: Upgrading from NT Domain to Win2K Domain
First you need to make sure you W2K domain is set up properly. Is active directory and DNS installed? If you go to the Network Identification tab in the system control panel for one of your DC's, do you see something like Computer Name Servername.domain.com Domain Name domain.com If it doesn't show you the dns domain names, then you will need to install DNS and run DC promo to create your W2K domain (I am assuming however that this is already done, and you just haven't spotted the DNS additions to your computer and domain names yet) Next, to change your domain name, you want to RUN DC promo, demote your domain controllers to stand alones, and the repromote them using the new domain name you wish to use. (Unless someone else knows how to change the domain name without doing this of course) If the new domain is not in production yet, then I would build and blow away a few times to get comfortable with things, and understand what DCpromo is doing. In terms of repercussions, if you do the above to change your domain name, the domain dies, and you need to recreate user and computer accounts, and join all of the workstations to the new domain.

Floppy doesn't show up in fresh install
Ok, here's the problem...I just built a box, and installed NT server. Great, however, when I go to My Computer, the floppy does not show up. It lists all of my other drives, except A:. I've reinstalled server, even installed workstation, but to no avail. I can boot to the floppy drive, poke around, and all works well. There's nothing in the event log, and I even tried a different floppy drive. I'd appreciate any suggestions you might have Thanks, Marty http://www.sunbelt-software.com/ntsysadmin_list_charter.htm

RE: Upgrading from NT Domain to Win2K Domain
I replied in answer to this thread, and then had a thought. In my previous job, I had the problem I described in the other mail where by my server name and domain names were different (server.domain.com in the domain location.domain.com) this meant that everytime we tried to add anything to that domain, the no domain controller could be found error popped up. Am I right in guessing that if I had of made the appropriate changes in DNS to point all applicable SRV records to server.domain.com, that I would have effectively solved my problem, even thought the domain in the computer name did not match the actual DNS domain name? Is that clear as mud? As it was dealt with months ago, it is not an issue to me now, but having gone through a lot of work to get my network sorted out at the time, I am very curious to know if I could have got around it in the way I have just thought of.

RE: Upgrading from NT Domain to Win2K Domain
Title: Upgrading from NT Domain to Win2K Domain From what I have read (I haven't done it yet, but I will), that is what MS recommends, just so you can make it easy for your users. Diane -Original Message-From: Montagna, Mark [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]Sent: Wednesday, August 22, 2001 5:57 AMTo: NT System Admin IssuesSubject: Upgrading from NT Domain to Win2K Domain Hello all, I actually sent this yesterday, but I wanted to rephrase a few things. When upgrading our NT Network to a 2000 Domain, we are trying to understand if we need to distinguish our internal network domain name from our external FQDN www.widgets.com. For example in NT our current internal domain name is "widgets" and our external website is widgets.com. When we upgrade to Win2k what are the ramifications of keeping our internal 2000 domain "widgets.com" and our external FQDN, widgets.com. Should we change our internal domain to widgetscorp.com or something comparable when we upgrade to win2k, and if we don't what happens. Widgets.com is currently hosted on our internal NT domain on an IIS 4.0 server, behind a raptor firewall, using redirection on the firewall, with DNS at our ISP. Once upgraded to 2000 it will continue to be located internally on our network behind the firewall with AD integrated DNS internally and external internet DNS at our ISP. Thanks for any help or suggestions in advance.http://www.sunbelt-software.com/ntsysadmin_list_charter.htm http://www.sunbelt-software.com/ntsysadmin_list_charter.htm
