I want to be sure to never buy it, or quit quickly if we do.

Subject: Adding Outlook 2000 Profiles

Hello!

This is the problem, we have an application here that requires 4 unique
mail profiles be setup under Outlook 2000 for each person that uses it.
And of course that person requires their own personal profile so they
can use email.  

So basically we end up with every person needing the following profiles:

John Doe <- their personal one, set to default
Profile1
Profile2
Profile3
Profile4

We've been using an outlook.prf file placed in the WINNT folder of a
Win2K Professional Ghost image when we deploy the machines.  Software
installation of Office 2000 is via Group Policy.  This way when a person
logs in their personal profile gets setup automatically.  We then have
to manually add the other 4 profiles.

Inevitably, we end up forgetting 1 or more of the profiles and the
application misbehaves.  I need to figure out some mechanism to have
those 4 profiles added when the person first logs in.  I hope to build
this into the Ghost image so we can just forget about it.  Is there
anyway to do this?  

We're using Exchange 2000 in an AD domain.

Thanks.

Instead of rebooting the server.  Check the route table.  If those users are
on another subnet, their route is most likely gone.  So just recreate the
route to their subnet and you will be able to ping their machine and they'll
be able to get their mail.

I have coded '0' login scripts, but now must create one per my boss.

Simply stated, we have a file that we want to push down to each client.  We
also want to allow the client 3 attempts at getting the file.  Reason being
that a lot of them are over dial-up connections and the file is quite
large.

My impression is something like this:

if file.1 exists then
   prompt user if they want it.
   if yes then
  copy file to client
   else
  rename file.1 to file.2
   end if
else
   if file.2 exists then
  prompt user if they want it.
  if yes then
 copy file to client
  else
 rename file.1 to file.2
  end if
   else
  if file.3 exists  then
 prompt user if they want it.
 if yes then
copy file to client
 else
rename file.1 to file.2
 end if
  else
 message to user that they must request the file.
  end if
   end if
end if


To me this makes sense, but how does one do this in a login-on script?
 What script commands can be used to accomplish this?

RE: SMS 2.0 & SQL 2K

I found some info on Swynk that lets you add an alias to an instance of
SQL2K for apps that cannot access instances such as SMS. I am trying
this out to see if I can get SMS up and running using an instance of
S2K, if not i will re-install and let it create a deault instance.

you may be able to run the setup again but this time leave the default
instance name check on instead of specifying a name.  If that does not
work
then you will want to uninstall and reinstall.  Note: if you are going
to
use 7.0 on this along with 2k the default instance will be 7.0 i
believe. If
you have 7.0 on the box and run the setup with the default check in

should upgrade the server to 2k.  Hope this helps.

Okay, so i haven't worked with SQL2K before, I haven't gotten past 7.0
yet. Anyway, i want try it out with SQL2K so that i can learn both
platforms at the same time. I just installed SQL2K on Win2K server and
when it asked for an instance name I entered SMS. When i go into the
Enterprise manager it shows the server as being servername\SMS, is this
considered the default instance or would the default instance just be
servername? If so, I will have to uninstall SQL and re-install and leave
the instance naming blank and see if that works.

Paul,

With sql2k you can run multiple instances on the same box.  This means
that
you can have more then one sql server running on the same box.  All you
really need is to name each installation a different name.  With SMS you
are
required to use the default installation or the first installation as
the
server that holds the sms databases. Usually the default installation is
the
server name and that is probably why it requires this.  Hope this helps.

SQL Server 2000 is fully supported in Systems Management Server 2.0

Subject: IE6 Frames Problem



  Yesterday when we found we had the frames problem in IE6, M$ suggested
uninstalling IE6 so that IE5.5 would be active. We did that, but still had
the same problem. Today, M$ suggested that the problem was in the MLANG.DLL
and that it probably didn't get removed. I checked and found it to be true.
I renamed the DLL and copied the MLANG.DLL from one of our IE5.5 machines
and copied it into the Windows/system directory and replaced the IE6
version. That solved the problem, so it's obvious that the problem must be
in that DLL. So, for anyone who wants to revert back to an older IE version,
be sure to copy the MLANG.DLL that is the same version as the IE version
that you revert back to.

I would do this, because it's easy to get confused with nested IF

Subject: NT 4.0 Scripting dilemma


I have coded '0' login scripts, but now must create one per my boss.

Simply stated, we have a file that we want to push down to each client.  We
also want to allow the client 3 attempts at getting the file.  Reason being
that a lot of them are over dial-up connections and the file is quite
large.

My impression is something like this:

if file.1 exists then
   prompt user if they want it.
   if yes then
  copy file to client
   else
  rename file.1 to file.2
   end if
else
   if file.2 exists then
  prompt user if they want it.
  if yes then
 copy file to client
  else
 rename file.1 to file.2
  end if
   else
  if file.3 exists  then
 prompt user if they want it.
 if yes then
copy file to client
 else
rename file.1 to file.2
 end if
  else
 message to user that they must request the file.
  end if
   end if
end if


To me this makes sense, but how does one do this in a login-on script?
 What script commands can be used to accomplish this?

RE: SMS 2.0 & SQL 2K


Okay, so i haven't worked with SQL2K before, I haven't gotten past 7.0
yet. Anyway, i want try it out with SQL2K so that i can learn both
platforms at the same time. I just installed SQL2K on Win2K server and
when it asked for an instance name I entered SMS. When i go into the
Enterprise manager it shows the server as being servername\SMS, is this
considered the default instance or would the default instance just be
servername? If so, I will have to uninstall SQL and re-install and leave
the instance naming blank and see if that works.

With sql2k you can run multiple instances on the same box.  This means
that
you can have more then one sql server running on the same box.  All you
really need is to name each installation a different name.  With SMS you
are
required to use the default installation or the first installation as
the
server that holds the sms databases. Usually the default installation is
the
server name and that is probably why it requires this.  Hope this helps.

2001-08-31 Thread Greg Tupper


Unsure what the real reasons are behind this.  I am thinking that it would
be useful in some scenarios where you needed to bring down the sql service
for some reason and it would not effect all of the sites.  Also would allow
people to cut out the additional cost of more hardware (downside would be
the resources would have to share so you would hinder the server performance
depending upon the workload).  This way also allows you to run sql7 and
sql2k on the same box at the same time.  There are probably a bunch of other
reasons but have never had a reason to setup a server in this scenario
because in my current environment it would not work very well.

RE: SMS 2.0 & SQL 2K

2001-08-31 Thread Dan_Rembolt



Would there be any advantage to running multiple instances?   Or is there
some 3rd party software that requires it?I cant think of a good reason
right off.Why not just put up another server if you need more than one
sql?

Paul,

With sql2k you can run multiple instances on the same box.  This means that
you can have more then one sql server running on the same box.  All you
really need is to name each installation a different name.  With SMS you
are
required to use the default installation or the first installation as the
server that holds the sms databases. Usually the default installation is
the
server name and that is probably why it requires this.  Hope this helps.

NT 4.0 Scripting dilemma

2001-08-31 Thread William Rogge


I have coded '0' login scripts, but now must create one per my boss.

Simply stated, we have a file that we want to push down to each client.  We 
also want to allow the client 3 attempts at getting the file.  Reason being 
that a lot of them are over dial-up connections and the file is quite 
large.

My impression is something like this:

if file.1 exists then
   prompt user if they want it.
   if yes then
  copy file to client
   else
  rename file.1 to file.2
   end if
else
   if file.2 exists then
  prompt user if they want it.
  if yes then
 copy file to client
  else
 rename file.1 to file.2
  end if
   else
  if file.3 exists  then
 prompt user if they want it.
 if yes then
copy file to client
 else
rename file.1 to file.2
 end if
  else
 message to user that they must request the file.
  end if
   end if
end if


To me this makes sense, but how does one do this in a login-on script? 
 What script commands can be used to accomplish this?

Win2000Server Terminal Services Licensing Problem

2001-08-31 Thread William Rogge


We have only 1 Win 2K server in house.  We have enabled Terminal Services 
to prepare in the migration of our NT-4.0 Terminal Server Edition 
platforms.

We have installed 60 Cals and 15 TS Cals. The TS Cals have been activated 
(at least they show as activated).

In this setup, we can only establish 1 connection for another system.  When 
the second system attempts to establish a connection, it is refused.  Upon 
checking Event Log, it states that there are no more Terminal Service 
licenses available.

Has anyone seen this, and if so, how can I correct this situation?

Thanks for your expert assistance.

has told two of those that wrote in very bluntly that they should simply

AV seems to work just fine on one of my systems, but I can't personally speak

Turn off, your life will be the better for it.  Create a

webdav and AD authentication

2001-08-31 Thread James . E . Borchart



I am trying to use a webDAV client with a win2k server running IIS.  I set
up a virtual folder DAV and gave rights to everyone, domain users,
administrators, users.

I set security on the virtual directory to basic authentication and gave it
a default domain of the NT-style domain name.

The problem I have is that only members of group "administrators" can
authenticate no matter what I change  AND I was unable to use new AD-style
domain names in the basic authentication field.

Anybody have WebDAV folders set up to work who can give me some pointers?

Is the 2nd DC a DNS server.  If so, you don't want to be using itself as the

Re: Blue Screen STOP message C0000135 Appears at Startup


This is definitely looks like a job for the ERD commander from Winternals. I
also read you can use the new Windows 2k Recovery Console feature on a
crashed NT system if you boot from the Win 2K CD but I have not tried this
personally.

Re: Hard drive configuration


If your on a really tight budget you can get good reliability with a
Software mirrored SLED configuration (thats Single Large Expensive Disk) if
you use two scsi controllers one for each disk. Other wise I agree with the
general sentiment that software RAID is bad, very bad.

Re: NT 4 PDC replacement


The PDC will not accept logons but your BDC's still can, so user can logon
during this process. You cannot add user or computer accounts to the domain
however.

Subject: RE: Active Directories & Domains - Trusts

David,

Well I guess you could say that I have one leap down. I reestablish a trust
between the 2000 PDC and another PDC on the same network used by our
software control engineer. Of course I had to delete it on both ends and
actually add it back but it works. He is running NT 4.0 with SP 5 on the
machine. For some reason though I am still unable to establish/add a trusts
either way with the PDC in our MIS department. I'm now wondering if possibly
MIS has some type of permissions/security setup that could be preventing the
trust and they simply are over looking it. The other PDC, the one I did
establish Trust with, doesn't have any permissions or security setup on it.
Since I just installed our PDC it doesn't have any security setup either.
Our MIS dept did have to make changes on there side to accommodate the
change in our PDC name and possibly some security needs to be set for the
new PDC name. I'll keep you informed

Mark,

I added my GCS about 3 days ago.
Sounds like I have the same setup as you but my NT 4 domain PDC is running
SP5.
I imported a LMhost file from the WINS console on the W2K server. I then
broke the trust and re-established it again. Now I can use one user account
to admin both domains.>>>BUT
Every now and then I do get the "access denied" message when trying to
access the W2K side from the NT4 side. But, I can view all resources without
a problem.
I am working on finding out why.
Post more of your successful leaps and bounds so I can follow.

David
