Enterprise Monitor from (now called IPMonitor) works well, monitors server
status, and allows web based nt server status, and stop / start.  all
interface to the app (config, admin, delete, subnet add, etc) is from a java
based console.  This is the only management app that I've ever set up in 45
minutes and had it providing good monitoring. www.mediahouse.com (NCI)

is there a version of NT client tools for CE? shutgui.exe, etc from the
resource kit are good, and might be ported.

I've heard that Outlook uses NETBIOS to locate the exchange

connection.

I use Outlook XP on a win2k client successfully to a 5.5 SP?

Synchronizing SQL 7.0/2000 Contact List DB with Active Directory Contacts

2001-09-10 Thread acox




I have a client who has an SQL Database with 10,000 Email contacts.  They used
to use Exchange 5.5 where they maintianed this list of contacts in a public
folder which was mananged manually with this SQL Database.  Bit of a large job
but they managed somehow.

They have now migrated to Exchange 2000 and don't want to continue the manual
way.  AD offers more flexibilty.

I want to know if anybody has seen a product or method on adding the Email
addresses/Names to AD as 'contacts' and then synchronizing them between the SQL
database and AD.  They want to keep the SQL databse as it is part of a larger
application but want to be about to use the address book in Outlook to send
email to these contacts.

I can import them in using VB Script but maintaining them will be a small
problem.

Any suggestions would be appreicated.

Thanks

Adding drivers to driver.cab...

2001-09-10 Thread Jonathan Wayne


Sorry that this isn't threaded as I subscribe to the
digest only.

We've actually worked with many support folks at
Microsoft for over a year on a problem that covered
this very issue. It arose because there is really no
_good_ way to add new plug and play drivers to a
standard build.

The obvious solution would be to FIX sysprep so that
it searches down a tree for new PnP drivers rather
than having to explicitly define _each_ new driver
directory (one cannot put all drivers in the same
directory since some manufacturers may use the same
name for an inf or driver file. Plus it becomes
unmanageable).  Since dev groups don't seem to talk to
each other at MS, the search technology used elsewhere
for PnP detection was not incorporated into sysprep. 
The most MS could do for us was to fix a couple of
serious path length limitation bugs related to
sysprep.  (Sysprep is completely revamped in XP.) 

The other - less accceptable but still manageable -
solution would be to allow users to manage their own
.cab files and reference them in drvindex.inf. MS does
not support this method and will not provide any
information for doing so, even though they themselves
do it for SP updates and obviously know how it can be
done properly (and SP updates are more complex since
it must also handle WFP).  Nor do they allow
modification of the original driver.cab file.  

(As an aside, there is a way to edit DosNet.inf to
include a new .inf (to modify the DevicePath) and
modify TxtSetup.INF (so the new .inf is executed)  I
don't know if MS now officially supports it, but they
suggested it at one time.  It didn't suit our needs
since we are relying on clone/pnp rather than on 
unattended installs for our deployment methodology
since it is much faster.) 

I'd be VERY interested if you can get this to work
since nothing that MS has provided us indicates that
it is feasible.

Why not just put the needed information in the drvindex.inf file in your

Subject: Adding drivers to driver.cab part 2

Since I posted the first message, I discovered that the drivers are listed
in a file called drvindex.inf which is in the inf folder.   From looking at
this file, it seems that Windows looks at this inf file first to see if the
named driver is available, and which cab files to look in.   So on my
system which had sp1 applied and then later had sp2 applied, I have both
Sp1.cab and sp2.cab. The drvindex.inf specifies sp2.cab and driver.cab.
So I think I could delete sp1.cab.I havent found any reference to
checksums anywhere so on Monday I'm going to try placing my ibm drivers in
driver.cab and adding the names to drvindex.inf.   That way if newer
versions of those files show up in sp3.cab, Windows will get those newer
ones instead of the ones that are in driver.cab. I'll post the results
to the list on Monday, assuming I dont have a crisis to deal with.

In the U.S., e-mail (and voice mail) is the property of the employer.  There

company policy.  For example, a manager would probably be able to
read his/her subordinate's e-mail but could probably have the subordinate
censured for reading his/her e-mail.

Take a look at these cases
Smyth VS Pillsbury
Shoars VS Epson
Burke VS Nissan

All of these deal with E-mail monitoring in some form or fashion. I am
currently writing a review of each of these cases to prove a point with our
security person here. They are under the impression that the same rights
that apply to individuals using an ISP applies to employees as well. As you
will find with all three of these cases, if the company owns the e-mail
system, then anything sent via that system is property of the company. There
are those that would argue that the ECPA will cover e-mail as well, but
there is no specific language in the ECPA for e-mail because it was not
mainstream at the time of its writing. Most court cases try to apply
telephone communications to e-mail communication because there is no
specific legislation for them to use nor are there many precedents for them
to refer back to.

Annoying IE 5 printing problem


Has anyone here encountered the problem where IE 5 cuts off a thin
portion of the right hand side of the page when printing?? My users are
running IE 5 under win2k sp2. I don't think it's a printer/driver issue
because it seems to print the same way regardless of which network
printer they're using (I've also updated all the printer drivers to the
latest versions). Adjusting the margins doesn't seem to help at all
either. It's almost like IE isn't formatting or 'wrapping' the text
properly. 
The printers are all connected to our Small Business Server 2000 (don't
laugh! :P .

I've experienced it all too often!  If I remember to try orienting the 
print to landscape, then it usually does not cut off.  However, that wastes 
lots of paper (since the landscape print job is the SECOND attempt).

What is aggravating is, this nearly always happens to me when I choose to 
download a "printer friendly" version of a web page.  If I just print the 
"printer nasty" version, it doesn't cut off the margin!  Go figure...

Perfect. Landscape seems to work great. Yes, it's a bit of a waste of

I've experienced it all too often!  If I remember to try orienting the 
print to landscape, then it usually does not cut off.  However, that
wastes 
lots of paper (since the landscape print job is the SECOND attempt).

What is aggravating is, this nearly always happens to me when I choose
to 
download a "printer friendly" version of a web page.  If I just print
the 
"printer nasty" version, it doesn't cut off the margin!  Go figure...

Win 2000 Task Scheduler - Error Code explanation

2001-09-10 Thread Mohamed A. Karimullah


A batch program when run manually or scheduled to run in a minute or two
(for testing) runs successfully. When scheduled for after hours with no
activity for about 6 hours or so, the Task Scheduler log file reports
..."The task completed with an exit code of (1)".

An exit code of (0) refers to a successful task. What does exit code (1)
signify? As I'm at it what does exit code (2331) imply? Where among the
plethora of literature did MS put an explanation of these exit codes?

The Task Scheduler runs on a Win 2000 Adv server in an NT 4 Domain. The
Batch job is a simple copy and unzipping operation.

Has anyone here encountered the problem where IE 5 cuts off a thin
portion of the right hand side of the page when printing?? My users are
running IE 5 under win2k sp2. I don't think it's a printer/driver issue
because it seems to print the same way regardless of which network
printer they're using (I've also updated all the printer drivers to the
latest versions). Adjusting the margins doesn't seem to help at all
either. It's almost like IE isn't formatting or 'wrapping' the text
properly. 
The printers are all connected to our Small Business Server 2000 (don't
laugh! :P .

  This is from my notes on the various tape technologies.  This is personal
opinion and experience, suplamented by marketing info and web stories, so
take it with a grain of salt:

  QIC = Quarter Inch Cartridge.  QIC is what Travan evolved from.
Adequate for very small businesses or home use, but fairly limited.  TR5
is 10 GB native.  Slower.  Drives are cheap, tapes are expensive.  Tapes
wear out quickly.  Imation's baby.  http://www.qic.org/

  DAT = Digital Audio Tape.  DDS = Digital Data Storage.  DAT is a 4mm
tape, in a cassette that is slightly smaller than a traditional analog
audio cassette.  Stores audio in digital format.  DDS is DAT used for data
storage.  Same basic technology.  DDS-4 is 20 GB native.  Reasonable speed
and reliability.  Drives are more expensive than Travan but still under
$1K, tapes are cheap.  DDS has been around for a long time, and likely
will be around for a long time.  Multi-vendor.  http://www.dds-tape.com/

  DLT = Digital Linear Tape.  Evolved out of the old DEC TK50.  Larger,
square-ish cartridge, with a single reel.  There is a take-up spool in the
drive.  Fast.  Rock-solid.  Somewhat expensive.  Very scalable.  Has been
around forever, and will be around for the foreseeable future.  Quantum's
baby these days.  http://www.dlttape.com/

  AIT = Advanced Intelligent Tape.  8mm cassette.  Looks like DDS but
twice the size.  Fast.  Fairly expensive.  Relatively new.  AIT2 is 50 GB
native. Sony's baby.  http://www.aittape.com/

  LTO = Linear Tape Open.  Two form-factors, a single-reel called Ultrium,
and a dual-reel called Accelis.  A new format, forged by a partnership
between IBM, Seagate, and HP.  "Open" format.  Fast.  Fairly expensive.
Ultrium is 100 GB native.  http://www.lto-technology.com/

  VXA.  Doesn't stand for anything.  Relatively new.  Supposed to be good,
fast, and cheap.  VXA-1/V17 gives you 33 GB native.  Ecrix's baby.

You might find an additional information on the errors of scheduled tasks in a
file called SchedLgU.txt, located in %WinDir% (or get it by selecting
Advanced\View log menu in Tasks folder)

But in general, the exit messages from Task Manager are the standard NT (or
Win2K) error messages. You can get their description by running
net helpmsg YourErrorCode
to get some description

Error 1 means Incorrect function
Error 2331  means The operation is invalid for this device

Make sure that your job is scheduled with a proper permissions.  TaskScheduler
service runs under LocalSystem account, and if you need to copy a file from a
remote place, you need to run it as some other user.

RE: e-mail privacy - where do we stand

2001-09-10 Thread Owsley, Kenneth


Damian,

The research I conducted shows that the law supports an employers legal
right to look at any and all e-mail generated by, stored in, or sent to
theiur e-mail system(s).

The ECPA does not protect the privacy of the employee in this situation. 
There are two reasons for this.  The clearest on is consent.  The ECPA
doesn't apply if one or more of the parties consents.  In many companies,
consent to an "e-mail policy" that says the company monitors use of e-mail
is a condition of employment.  Even if it isn't, the company still has a
legal right through "business extension" meaning that through the normal
course of business, monitoring e-mail content is allowed.  Since companies
are at a liability for any e-amil sent via their systems, it isn't a
stretch to say that an e-mail content scanner, whether thats software or a
person, is "the normal course of business."

For example when searching for files with a specific text string. I am aware

Offline Folders and Cache

If you set up a policy that enforces the My Documents folder to redirect
to a network share and then enable offline folders, do you still used the
cached copy of your files when you are connected to the network or are you
working off of the network copy of the file.

Spurious Problems With Saving Problems

2001-09-10 Thread Kenneth Taira


Has anybody seen this sort of problem?  Or have any ideas on how to diagnose?

We are using NT2000 domain server, NT4 Workstations (SP6), Win2K 
Workstation and a NetApp Fileserver.
Periodically, users with NT4 Workstations with full permission rights open 
an Excel file on the shared drive of
the NetApp, make changes the file and try to save the file (or even save 
as).   They wait for a very long time,
then get a spurious error message saying that the drive is full and that 
the save has failed.  Sometimes,
after calling me to their workstation, the file saves without a 
problem.  The few people using Win2K Workstations
do not appear to ever have this problem.  Among the NT4 users, this problem 
is random and widespread.

RE: Win 2000 Task Scheduler - Error Code explanation

2001-09-10 Thread Torres, Edgar (GEP)


A lot of command-line utilities use custom error codes, so NET HELPMSG won't always 
help, but NET HELPMSG  will usually point you in the right direction.

One thing you'll want to do is run the batch process in interactive mode and compare 
the results against those acquired from running under the LocalSystem context.  The 
problem may simply be access,
but the combination of errors sounds like the process is trying to write to a CD or 
trying to disconnect a LOCAL device.

You might find an additional information on the errors of scheduled tasks in a file

But in general, the exit messages from Task Manager are the standard NT (or

Error 1 means Incorrect function
Error 2331  means The operation is invalid for this device

Make sure that your job is scheduled with a proper permissions.  TaskScheduler service

you need to run it as some

Be careful, this code is buggy.  If you don't insert a floppy in time, it
goes haywire.  Even if you insert the floppy, if it takes longer than the
code expects, it goes haywire.

The code relies on SendKeys and assumed delays to perform a given operation.
Almost always a risky approach to use in general.

I have this setup at home and it uses the cached copy and synchronises the
directory at logoff time.  If the computer is not shut down correctly then
it will synchronise when you start as well.  It also checks versions of

This appears to work very well.

responding when the power came back. I just had to cycle the power again and

Periodically, users with NT4 Workstations with full permission rights open
an Excel file on the shared drive of

as).   They wait for a very long time,
then get a spurious error message saying that the drive is full and that
the save has failed.  Sometimes,

RE: Hub Recommendations




I've 
got two 'Linksys' brand 'Etherfast II 24 port switches' in use at my company 
here and they've been great. I would say it that it depends on how complex 
your network is in terms of whether or not you need to get a managed device (an 
indirect way of saying I have -no- idea what the specific benefits of a 
managed device are, only that it probably caters to scenarios of increased 
network complexity). Linksys products are cheap and from 4-5 years of retail 
experience I can say they have a relatively low failure rate (rate of 
return).  If at all possible, spend the extra bucks and go with switches. 
They are MUCH more efficient than conventional hubs. 
I'm 
not going to re-invent the wheel by describing the differences between a hub and 
a switch, check out www.atomica.com (use 
the search at the top to look for 'lan switch' and 'lan 
hub').

because it seems to print the same way regardless of which network
printer they're using (I've also updated all the printer drivers to the

Re: Spurious Problems With Saving Problems - More Info

2001-09-10 Thread Kenneth Taira


Perhaps...all workstations and the netapp are on an ethernet switch and of 
course, the
web interface of the NetApp doesn't show any problems or very much 
usage.  Any guesses
as to why the problem is only showing up in the NT Workstations and not the 
Win2K boxes
when the NT Workstations are on faster boxen?

BTW, we have the latest upgrades on the NetApp.  A couple of weeks ago 
performance
degraded very badly all of a sudden.  When the software was upgraded and 
after a bunch
of disk churning, the disk sped back up again.

cannot ping by name

Hi guys,

>From one particular server, I cannot ping "some" servers by name. I can ping
the same servers by IP address or I can do nslookup. I am sure it is not name
servers issue because all other machines can ping any machine by name or IP
address on the network. I also checked the DNS entry on that particular

No, we do not have any manual mapping of machines IP address in either host
file or lmhost file. When I ping any machine by name from this server they get
resoloved except for few servers. Unfortunately one of them being the backup
server. So I am not able to do the backup for last 2 days. I just now tried
ipconfig /flushdns without any luck.

RE: Win2K Pro client / NT domain Account Lockouts

2001-09-10 Thread Heavner, Charlie

we
bumped ours up from 3 tries and that seems to have helped. Have you applied the
update to msgina.dll or did you just go straight to Win2K Pro SP2? I want to
recreate the problem before I apply the patch so that I know the patch really
fixed the problem. I can't seem to get a PC to lock more than once. I'm hoping
that I can lock one consistently.
Once
again, thanks for your input,
Charlie

I
have been battling this one for a awhile,we run a very small password lock out
time frame (3 tries), which is a killer in W2K because of the Kerbosos

You Rock, Robert! I've been noodling around this

that works, then I'll use it on the fly for my clients that have this prob.
Looks like I'm gonna have to rework our image sooner than I wanted to and
