Adding FTP locations to Windows Explorer
Environment = NT4.0 SP4 w/IE 5.0 Within Office 97, selecting 'File Save As' allows you to open your 'FTP locations'. Is there a way to add that to the Windows Explorer interface? I want to be able to move files to and from an FTP site with an Explorer like interface without buying a third party program. It seems as though this functionality should be available. If I have the option to access to a 'Web Folder', why can't I access an 'FTP Location'? Anyone? Bill http://www.sunbelt-software.com/ntsysadmin_list_charter.htm

RE: Using W2K RAS to connect to a Novell 5.1 Network
If using Netware 5+, and all TCP/IP, just connect to RAS as normal and (if necessary) fire up the NW Client. You may need to add DNS/HOST entry for your Novell server depending on the timeout settings for the login client. If using IPX/SPX, make sure that both the RAS server/service and the DUN connection are configured for it. After connecting, the Novell Client should start automatically. You may need to modify login scripts to deal with the serious speed decrease As an aside, if you don't have an NT box, and need to do this, instead of buying a Novell solution, you can use Freesco on an old PC for TCP/IP dial-in. -Original Message-From: Tim Cronin [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]Sent: Thursday, September 13, 2001 11:41 AMTo: NT System Admin IssuesSubject: Using W2K RAS to connect to a Novell 5.1 Network Because of recent events and downed circuits we need to allow Judges from NYC RAS into our LAN/WAN.

Re: Accurace of Article.
Although Stu already asked us to return to normal trace, I can't leave this article without a reply. All of you please accept my apology. Just hit delete if you are not interested. I can't comment on the accuracy of this article, I have to see to believe. Links to relevant information on the web would help. Without these link this article loses its basis. I would like only to comment on the facts. 1. The fact is that this happened. On the first day, Palestinians were celebrating this horrible terrorist act at the WTC. This was the real reaction of the people on the street to these sad events but the reports were minimal for the reasons below. On the second day, the whole world was shown how Chairman Arafat is donating blood. This was the fake reaction of the Palestinian Administration. Everything on the first day was documented by all major News Networks but you didn't see any of these reports. The reason -- most of the journalist working for CNN and other Networks in the West Bank are usually Palestinian too, because other Journalist entering the Palestinian territory are simply endangering their life. And when the news started to reveal, these journalist where arrested by the Palestinian police and given two options: either you call your Network and instruct them not to broadcast your report, or, if these reports will be broadcast, your life is in danger. The same intimidations were directed toward the local management of these Networks and it helped. Nobody except the Israeli Journalist organization protested. The intimidation, which is also kind of terrorism, was effective. On local TV we have seen reports showing the celebrations and how candies were given on streets. 2. Even if the CNN report was misleading, the facts didn't change. Palestinians were celebrating Iraqi invasion to Kuwait, they were celebrating when Iraqi Scud missiles hit Tel Aviv, they were celebrating when about 30 teenagers were killed in Disco at Tel Aviv few months ago and they are celebrating this horrible action at the WTC. They are just hiding their latest celebrations. Only yesterday there was a funeral here at Alfei Menashe of 47 years old women, mother to two boys, which was killed by Palestinian forces by shooting her car on the road. Is this a legal resistance (not my opinion) to occupying military force or just another terrorist action. 3. I can't belive CNN chooses to show us old pictures but for the reasons I mentioned above you can understand them. They reported about what is going on, and since fresh pictures were not available, they decided to show us old reports on similar subject. This is reasonable but they should tell us in advance they are doing this. But I still can't believe it's true. 4. I tried to check what organization stands behind this article. On http://www.indymedia.org/about.php3 and http://www.indymedia.org/alliases.php3 there is too much (for my taste) of progressive and social. It reminds me the propaganda of those ex communist countries that I was born at. 5. To remind you, the PLO (the organization Arafat is its chairman) was the first one who started with the civil planes hijacking fashion, hijacking El-Al plane to Algeria about 25 years ago. Since then they did it too much more times. God bless America.

Also, rest assured that NO-ONE is saying that this attack is in any way justified for any involvement that has happened in the past. The fact that NATO has invoked article 5 is an indication of just how much we don't think it was justified.

RE: has anyone used doubletake successfully?
I used it for exactly that situation. The data transfer is real time and I experienced no data loss in failover testing. The transition took less than a minute (probably less than 30 seconds actually) with minimal hassle reconnecting to the backup machine from the web server (we use separate boxes for IIS and SQL obviously). I looked at one or 2 other products and decided on Double Take bacuse it was the only one that actually worked! I figured that was cause enough to use it.

BROWSER service issues..
Hello all, first and foremost, dont forget about the prayer tonight at 7:00 nationwide... I have a question about windows 2000 browser service. here is a quick configuration of our network and then it will make my question alot easier to answer. we have a Cisco 4006 core switch with a routing blade for vlan routing. we have vlans named vlan 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, and 70 with ip addresses in each accordingly (172.16.20.x, 172.16.30.x, etc.) vlan 20 can see all other vlans. all our switches and administrator machines are in that vlan. our windows 2000 servers are in vlan 30. all vlans have access to 30 (servers) but dont have access to each other. for instance, vlan 40 has access to vlan 40 and 30 but nothing else, etc. I have the master browser for the domain in vlan 30 on one of our servers and the backup browser in 30 also. i know the browser service builds its machine lists by broadcasts. is there any possible way for the browser service to add machines to its browse list from all the other vlans? i know that is one of the main purposes of vlans to control and separate broadcasts on a network. do i need a browser on each vlan and then somehow communicating with the master browser in vlan 30? this is important to get a list of all the machines in our domain for some management programs to work right, antivirus, etc. any help is appreciated before i call microsoft. i only need to see the full browser lists in vlans 20 and 30. the administrators vlans and server vlan. thanks very much for any input and God bless america!

RE: has anyone used doubletake successfully?
I've done failover and failback on my Exchange 5.5 server without problems, Double Take does give separate instructions specifically for Exchange, and I performed this about 10 times on a pair of test servers before bringing it live. There are some things you need to do that are not documented when failing back, but I spotted them in the lab beforehand (without checking my doc's - removing Wins entries and rebooting the target after failover comes to mind). Exchange takes a minute or two to fail over on my Exchange server, due to the need to start all the various services. Just curious, did you call NSI for tech support or Sunbelt? I did not have a need to call tech support, but I'd like to know what I'm up against if I do.

Cold storage of Windows 2000 AD PCs
We are finishing up some BCP work started earlier this year by building 20-25 Windows 2000 PCs and putting them in storage at an off-site facility. Question: before unplugging them from the network, should we remove them from the AD domain? My concern is with the AD computer accounts. If the PC doesn't see AD for many weeks/months, will it be a royal mess because the computer account will have been inactive so long?

RE:
I know this is off subject again, but feel the need to pass it on anyway. Sorry Stu. Subject: Warning: Spam Urging Red Cross Donations Sends Users to Trick Site Consumer protection advocates are warning Internet users that scam artists are trying to take advantage of Tuesday's terrorist attacks. Spam solicitations have been sent out urging Netizens to donate money to the Red Cross or other relief organizations. But the e-mails direct potential donors to private Web sites apparently designed to steal credit card numbers. Web users who feel the urge to contribute financially to the relief efforts should be suspicious of any e-mail solicitation. Here are a few tips to follow: * If you don't know the organization or person who sent the request, it's probably fraudulent. * Virtually no bona-fide relief agencies request funds by sending email to people who are not already involved in that agency. Solicitations made in this way may also violate laws in the United States and Europe. * If you click on a link to donate, examine the URL shown in your browser. If the domain name of the URL is hidden, unfamiliar, or doesn't match the link's text, the request is probably fraudulent. * Verify the solicitor's identity through another medium (such as phone) before giving money. Spammers frequently forge the identity and style of well-known entities to gain credibility. Those wishing to donate to the Red Cross can visit the agency's official Web site at visit their official Web site at http://www.redcross.org . Paypal.com and Amazon.com are also accepting Red Cross donations. If you receive a suspicious e-mail, require additional information, or have any questions, please contact Ted Shelkey via Email. http://www.sunbelt-software.com/ntsysadmin_list_charter.htm

Although Stu already asked us to return to normal trace, I can't leave this article without a reply. All of you please accept my apology. Just hit delete if you are not interested. I can't comment on the accuracy of this article, I have to see to believe. Links to relevant information on the web would help. Without these link this article loses its basis. I would like only to comment on the facts. 1. The fact is that this happened. On the first day, Palestinians were celebrating this horrible terrorist act at the WTC. This was the real reaction of the people on the street to these sad events but the reports were minimal for the reasons below. On the second day, the whole world was shown how Chairman Arafat is donating blood. This was the fake reaction of the Palestinian Administration. Everything on the first day was documented by all major News Networks but you didn't see any of these reports. The reason -- most of the journalist working for CNN and other Networks in the West Bank are usually Palestinian too, because other Journalist entering the Palestinian territory are simply endangering their life. And when the news started to reveal, these journalist where arrested by the Palestinian police and given two options: either you call your Network and instruct them not to broadcast your report, or, if these reports will be broadcast, your life is in danger. The same intimidations were directed toward the local management of these Networks and it helped. Nobody except the Israeli Journalist organization protested. The intimidation, which is also kind of terrorism, was effective. On local TV we have seen reports showing the celebrations and how candies were given on streets. 2. Even if the CNN report was misleading, the facts didn't change. Palestinians were celebrating Iraqi invasion to Kuwait, they were celebrating when Iraqi Scud missiles hit Tel Aviv, they were celebrating when about 30 teenagers were killed in Disco at Tel Aviv few months ago and they are celebrating this horrible action at the WTC. They are just hiding their latest celebrations. Only yesterday there was a funeral here at Alfei Menashe of 47 years old women, mother to two boys, which was killed by Palestinian forces by shooting her car on the road. Is this a legal resistance (not my opinion) to occupying military force or just another terrorist action. 3. I can't belive CNN chooses to show us old pictures but for the reasons I mentioned above you can understand them. They reported about what is going on, and since fresh pictures were not available, they decided to show us old reports on similar subject. This is reasonable but they should tell us in advance they are doing this. But I still can't believe it's true. 4. I tried to check what organization stands behind this article. On http://www.indymedia.org/about.php3 and http://www.indymedia.org/alliases.php3 there is too much (for my taste) of progressive and social. It reminds me the propaganda of those ex communist countries that I was born at. 5. To remind you, the PLO (the organization Arafat is its chairman) was the first one who started with the civil planes hijacking fashion, hijacking El-Al plane to Algeria about 25 years ago. Since then they did it too much more times. God bless America.

They used Jewish territories to create the country of Palestine. So just who is occupying who's country? That aside, what happened with the WTC is directly related to Palestine in that the USA is backing Israel instead of Palestine in who gets to rule the disputed territories in the world today.

the Machine log in accounts (machine domain accounts) passwords change automatically, and may be out of synch. Depending on the account policy on the domain. I know this happens in nt40.

Imaging, HW Profiles, and USB Devices
Does anyone have any experiences they could share about building USB devices into RIS/Sysprep images? I would even care to hear what Ghost does as it may be similar. Also, does anyone know if you can restrict via GPO the time when .msi packages are delivered to pcs in a particular OU? For example, I want to assign a setup.msi file for a particular OU, but I want to make sure it doesn't install between 7:00am and 1:00pm. Here's our situation: We are working on getting a few computers for each of our schools set up which will be used as POS terminals (using our existing student system) in the cafeterias at lunchtime, and then they will be rolled into an office for desk work later in the day. We are testing with Win2k Pro (these are Dell Optiplexes) using SMC USB wireless adapters (this has already been decided and tested and will work for our situation, locked by mac, etc, to the WAP) for while they are in the cafeteria area, and then wired to the network while in the office. I've set up two hardware profiles-one for Wired and one for Wireless, and this all works beautifully. I know that if you move the USB device to the other USB port on the pc that it will try to redetect, but I've found that user level access on Win2k (what our staff have) won't allow them to do anything with it. We might even just cover up the other port for these machines to minimize problems. Now, I've found that I can make a RIS image on one machine and it will include the hardware profile information and installs correctly when RIS-ing back to the same pc. But, I'm concerned about when I image another machine, whether it will redetect the USB device, and if so, does it correctly re-assign it in the existing HW profile or does it treat it like a new device as if I'd plugged it into a new USB port? I know that RIS will try and redetect PNP hardware. I don't have a second USB Wireless device to play with yet or I would just try it out. Then, once these machines are up and running in AD, I'm concerned about software installing slowly over the wireless connection (at a very poor time too), but would like it to install over the wired connection. (I realize we could publish software-this may be the alternative for this group). Thanks for any thoughts on this, Bonnie M. http://www.sunbelt-software.com/ntsysadmin_list_charter.htm

Way off topic - Volunteering
Hi everyone, I am looking to find a way to volunteer my time to assist non-profits or similar organizations that need technical assistance or maybe be a technical tutor or resource at a community center, etc. I knows this sounds crazy but my early attempts to find these opportunities near my local community have come up empty. Does anyone have any suggestions on how they have gone about this or similar things.

Re: Way off topic - Volunteering
You know, I have experienced the same thing, I don't know what it is. I've volunteered my time to many different organizations and none seem to take me up on my time. I think they have discovered, as have many other businesses, that their computer systems are important enough to their operation to spend money on. So they spend money on building a reliable trust relationship with a repair/sales house. Just because they don't take a profit doesn't mean they don't need someone when they need them. And volunteer folks like you and me aren't always available when they need us! http://www.sunbelt-software.com/ntsysadmin_list_charter.htm

Adding users in Windows 2000
To start, it is good to be on topic again. My question is regarding adding users in Windows 2000. We recently moved our network from Windows NT 4.0 to Windows 2000 (Servers and Workstations). We use scripts to add our class user accounts using the NET command as follows: net user username password /add net group groupname username /add /domain . . . . for each user we wish to add. We use a home grown Visual Basic program do create the scripts. This kind of script worked fine for Windows NT 4.0, however here is the problem with Windows 2000. Windows 2000 has two different logon names, A Windows 2000 dns based login name in the form of username@domain.org. There is also a Pre-Windows 2000 login name that consists of the NETBIOS NAME\Username. In our case a user name for jsmith would be both in the form of [EMAIL PROTECTED] and CS2\jsmith. When the script utilizing net user command is used the user is created, but it does not fill in the name for the DNS version of the login name. So on the account tab of a users properties the User login name field is empty. This has resulted in some of the users having intermittent trouble logging into the domain. An error message comes up saying the domain cannot be found. Once the user name for the DNS logon is set the user can login just fine. Has anyone seen this error? Is there a new version of the NET command out there with better parameters? Also to note I have converted my servers to Native Mode, no more NT around at all. Because we make hundreds of new accounts every semester I would like to find a way to make the NET USER command run properly in Windows 2000.

Win2000 print server not giving printer alerts
We have a Windows 2000 (SP2) print server with 28 HP LaserJet network printers attached. I am trying to get the alerts set up so that an alert is sent out when certain workhorse printers (5Si/8000) run out of paper or generate a not ready condition (such as the printer being off-line). However, I cannot get any alerts sent out, despite the fact I have several of these printers off-line. If I go into http://printserver/printers and check the printers out, IIS can see that the printers are off-line. I know the alert functioning works because I generated messages the other night for items like Total Pages Printed. I have gone into JetAdmin but cannot find anything extra that would need configuring and, anyhow, the above link shows that the printer is off-line, so some part of the box knows the printer is off-line. Microsoft's knowledge base has turned up nothing and I have been unable to find anything in Groups Google. Another oddity is that if you graph the alerts, the out of paper and not ready alerts are always at zero. Any ideas? Is there some setting I am missing? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Re: Mahalo Stu
I too would like to thank Stu, especially for his patience. This has to have put a huge load on his systems. WED, he said he was killing a thread or two and asked us to get back on topic. Well, the past 2 days has not only drifted off topic but got down right ugly at times. The group charter got violated quit a bit with personal attacks, name calling, etc. I don't seem to remember Stu announcing that accounts had been barred from the forum. Stu, thanks again for being patient with us and understanding that tempers would be short as a result of the outrageous recent events! Just would like to personally thank you for the opportunity list members had to express their off topic opinions. I saw varied opinions and the list does reflect its international flavor. As a testament to this there were a many who disagreed with what I had to say. In the coming months there will be LOTS to talk about with regards to the attack and the repercussions. I also have to thank everyone around the world who has shown the United States so much support. Mahalo Carl http://www.sunbelt-software.com/ntsysadmin_list_charter.htm -- Richard D.

Opinions on anti-virus software...
Title: Opinions on anti-virus software... I'm attempting to make a final decision on anti-virus software for our network. We're running NT 4 SP6a to include IIS, Exchange etc. I am looking at Symantec software for the overall network. We're talking about $1,400 to purchase and being an admin for a city government network that's a whole lot of money. Any opinions good, bad, or indifferent. Please let me know. Ptl.
