We have 800 remote machines in a workgroup (not my design).

admin is a pain, you have to use 3rd party tools to manage (We're using SQL
anywhere, remoteware, and scripts), monitoring and helpdesk is a pain.  You
can't do domain profiles, users, domain anything.  pushing service packs is
a pain.  logging into someone elses machine is a pain, changing passwords is
a pain, setting up security policys is difficult.  if you go with a
workgroup solution, the choice is no security, or job security for the admin
IMO.

every admin task is local to every machine.

The key is "their own"  not shared with anyone on your net.

yes, if you put every user login account on every machine, or enable guest
(no security).  Workgroup computing might be do-able for 10 machines or so (
a workgroup), but any more, and it's a challenge.

Subject: W2K pro in a work group


Hi folks,
Excuse my ignorance, and unfortunately I can't test this.
How does W2K work in a workgroup.
For example.
In Windows 98 once the workgroup is configured on a computer, anyone who
logs on to the workgroup using that computer is able to access the
resources.
Is this true for W2K pro.
The scenario I am envisaging is this.
I join a computer to a workgroup using the Administrator account.
Now W2K pro has far better security and each user has or can have their own
profiles, permissions etc.
If, having been added to a workgroup using the Administrator account, I log
on as a user, provided the folders on a remote computer, also part of the
same workgroup, are share to the Everyone group, would this new user be able
to access those resources without any further administration?
Or would I have to add the computer to the work group for each user that
logged on to the computer?
Thanks
mark

RE: Files keep disappearing from the winnt dir

Title: Message



Hi,
Intrigued, and I 
thought it was just me.
 Recently I spoke to an admin who was telling me 
the same thing.
He lost all his printers, 
and then some of his .dll's went missing 
too.
No idea what is going on, 
but his PDC is grinding away like a concrete making 
machine.
Is it possible that the 
mft is corrupted, possibly caused by wear and tear, (the server hasn't been 
reimaged or re-installed for over 5 years.)

  I 
  have been running this system for about 5 years, been in the business for 
  about 17 years. What I am saying is that the files are gone. Vanished. Not 
  there. Thyey are missing. If I try to run explorer from the start menu, 
  nothing happens. So, I go to start > run > and run the explorer.exe 
  which I have stored away in a seperate directory in case it vanishes from the 
  winnt dir.
   
  I am 
  just asking if anyone has had the occasion of, maybe a corrupt system, and has 
  experienced this before? I don't think any other files are missing, could be 
  but I know the ones in the winnt are missing. I can copy them in there, see 
  them, run them, and 30 minutes later they are not there. Take my statement 
  literally...the files are gone, caput, vanished, not visible and all other 
  meanings of "not there" etc. :)))

I have to ask too: When you say the files are 
missing - and yet you can run explorer from CMD - are you saying you can't 
see them in Explorer or can't you see them from cmd prompt. Or - even better 
- if you boot from floppy to cmd prompt are they there then? Is it FAT 
or NTFS partition? Are other files 'missing' in other 
directories?

suggest as long as I have a half way decent justification.

Anyway, just wanted to say that I have faced problems with hfnetchk. For
example I had applied the patch for code-red. then I had to re-install IIS
after which I re-applied the patches. For some reason hfnetchk keeps still
complaining that I don't have the code-red patch installed. Tools like
eeye code-red scanner and vulnarability assessment tools like ISS
Realsecure or Nessus are reporting that I'm not vulnarable.

RE: Exchange/Outlook Alternatives

2001-09-27 Thread Vance Krier


I have about 10 production installations of SLMail around.  All in all a
decent product, but I've had battles with SL tech support over crashes.  I
went round and round with them because I had two different servers that
the pop engine would crash on when receiving a mail message with a certain
mime/encode type...  Their *fix* was to stop the service, clear the
queues, and restart the service..they never did take responsibility for
the problem citing it was a client side problem.  After about 3 months of
1-2 crashes a week (and a couple Exchange proposals), we upgraded SLMail
(which the customers had to pay for) and the problem went away.

Your mileage may vary.

I like SBS if I can swing it for smaller customers..packs a pretty good
bang for your buck.

Vance





Guys,

My boss has a general disdain with all that has "microsoft" on the box -
we therefore went with Seattle Labs SL Mail. It does all the "important"
functions which Exchange does, and I haven't had any problems thusfar. As
for cost - I heard it was significantly cheaper, although I'm unsure...

Bonus - you don't need a Bachelors in Exchange 2000 to administer.

Re: Known vulnerabilities w/ NTP?

2001-09-27 Thread David Hekimian


Sean,

You should really set up your Firebox to be your NTP time server. Then point
all your internal servers to its private ip address. That way you are not
exposing your entire network and only have to worry about your Firebox being
vulnerable.

Also its much better netiquette to point 1 device to a public time server
and serve yourself from your own "time server" then it is to point all your
device to a public time server.

You can do it on a users mailbox through the exchange admin. Open the

My hosting company still is blaming outages on Nimda. Doesn't seem to matter
that everyone else has patched and updated - they still are having problems.

To try and get back on point. I had this problem and was not the drivers. 
Another posting said it first, and it's true, the drivers that come with the OS 
are from the manufacturers. My problem was what you'd expect, a bad CD. I can't 
remember if I got a new one, or was able the clean the errant one. Remember, 
when you hear hoofs think horses, not zebras.RAM could also be a 
problem, has this system had another problem free OS on it?rod

The
default drivers ARE provided by the vendors, not Microsoft.
You
should get updated drivers whenever you can, of course, but it's still from the
vendor.

Pro Install
Goodmorning
All,
I've
been working on installing W2K Pro on a test box and I continually receive
an error during the setup process.
I
am able to get to the portion of the CD install where it begins copying
files to the hard drive.
However, each time at about 17% or 18% of the process I receive an
error that a particular file cannot be copied to the hard drive. I can hit retry and the same message
reappears. The message further
states that there is something wrong with the CD and if the error persists
to call MS Support.
The
test system is a P3/600 with 2 SCSI drives running off of an Adaptec 2940UW
controller. I have swapped all
of the parts out: SCSI cables,
IDE cable for the CD, the actual CD and I've also used 3 different copies of
W2K Professional on CD.
I
really don't want to call MS.
Anyone have any suggestions?
TIA
Ron

maybe they did one right for a change?? as much as we pay for the software

actually resorted to telling our customers to download the driver from the HCL

Goodmorning All,

 

I've been working on installing W2K Pro on a
test box and I continually receive an error during the setup process.

 

I am able to get to the portion of the CD
install where it begins copying files to the hard drive.  However, each time at about 17% or 18%
of the process I receive an error that a particular file cannot be copied to
the hard drive.  I can hit retry
and the same message reappears. 
The message further states that there is something wrong with the CD and
if the error persists to call MS Support.

 

The test system is a P3/600 with 2 SCSI drives
running off of an Adaptec 2940UW controller.  I have swapped all of the parts out:  SCSI cables, IDE cable for the CD, the
actual CD and I've also used 3 different copies of W2K Professional on CD.

 

I really don't want to call MS.  Anyone have any suggestions?

 

TIA

I dont
agree. I used to work for one of the networking companies and at
one point we had a product that MS had written a driver for. It worked better
than the one that our own engineers wrote. We actually resorted to telling
our customers to download the driver from the HCL site so there products would
work.

Subject: W2K Pro Install

Goodmorning All,

 

I've been working on installing W2K Pro on a
test box and I continually receive an error during the setup process.

 

I am able to get to the portion of the CD
install where it begins copying files to the hard drive.  However, each time at about 17% or 18%
of the process I receive an error that a particular file cannot be copied to
the hard drive.  I can hit retry
and the same message reappears. 
The message further states that there is something wrong with the CD and
if the error persists to call MS Support.

 

The test system is a P3/600 with 2 SCSI drives
running off of an Adaptec 2940UW controller.  I have swapped all of the parts out:  SCSI cables, IDE cable for the CD, the
actual CD and I've also used 3 different copies of W2K Professional on CD.

 

I really don't want to call MS.  Anyone have any suggestions?

 

TIA

 

Ron

don't take this the wrong way. I have made my income since 1981 and full time

that came with windows is!! if you can't locate or have the hardware drivers 
from the makers of the items at question.
 
they 
put there drivers in there for the newbies that are doing the installs. most of 
the time a hardware conflict is cause from drives ect.

We're in the same boat. Regardless of how many times I ask the same

are cheap in the overall scheme of things - if the company can not afford to
do Exchange, I still rely on ISP mail. In between the ISP and the office, I
use a software product called Software 602 which handles the pull portion.
In addition, I looked at the email from Deerfield but am REALLY pissed at

we will be deploying Win2K from scratch on the user's machines (around

Our Offices are located in two cities, one single domain.
So far we would use something like "CityName-Department-User Real Name"
(where city name and department are abbrevations) to name workstations.

Usually the NT Names are the users Company ID, which is unique.

I was wondering how you guys/girls are naming your workstations and users.

RE: Exchange/Outlook Alternatives

2001-09-27 Thread Lefkovics, William


I haven't found one product that totally embodies the collaborative
functionality and unbridled potential of Exchange Server and its
complimentary server products (Sharepoint Portal Server, Mobile Information
Server, Conference Server).

Let's face it, Exchange is not that expensive for offices utilising 1000
mailboxes.  Exchange2000 with collaborative web applications, Outlook Web
Access components, public folder storage etc etc is a good deal if deployed
well beyond just your basic email from point A to point B.

I have been working on a project for management here called the
Microsoft-less office.  It has been put on the backburner and will not be
completed in next couple of weeks still.  This involved research and in some
cases obtaining rough price quotes for an office deployment including
messaging applications.

If you require staying on Windows as the server, there are still many email
packages available.  A comprehensive list of mail servers that run on
Windows ironically is available at Microsoft's site:
http://www.microsoft.com/NTServer/partners/findoffering/commserv/Mail.asp

I think you'll end up searching elsewhere for your calendaring product.
Goldmine, Act!, or a customised application even using Access and web
components come to mind, though they are really contact and schedule
managers:
http://www.frontrange.com/products.asp
http://www.act.com/home/default.php3

These solutions are not free and require admin and user training.

That's all I have time for at the moment.  Wife's birthday.  Going to Osaka
for sushi.

I've been working on installing W2K Pro on a

I am able to get to the portion of the CD
install where it begins copying files to the hard drive.  However, each time at about 17% or 18%
of the process I receive an error that a particular file cannot be copied to
the hard drive.  I can hit retry
and the same message reappears. 
The message further states that there is something wrong with the CD and
if the error persists to call MS Support.

 

The test system is a P3/600 with 2 SCSI drives
running off of an Adaptec 2940UW controller.  I have swapped all of the parts out:  SCSI cables, IDE cable for the CD, the
actual CD and I've also used 3 different copies of W2K Professional on CD.

 

I really don't want to call MS.  Anyone have any suggestions?

Subject: RE: Workstation Naming Standards

I have been through 3 different changes so far.

The first one was something like W0F01492.  The W was for Workstation
(servers got A-F), multiple workstations got G,H, etc.  0F0 was a location
code and all of our sites had one (or more).1 was the floor.  492 was the
room.

Second place was MTMEMA.  MT was the OS (MT-NT, M5-95, and so on).  MEM
is the city (Memphis).   is the extension.  A is the number of the
workstation (A-1, B-2, and so on).

Third place just did PC001, PC002, etc. and let CA track it for them.

Guess it depends.  :)

Hi, I don't use user names in the computer name as you would need to change
it with every hire/fire/quit. 

I won't go over my naming convention for this company on the net for obvious
reasons, however in previous locales I used a combination of the street name
and address of the various offices, DT, LT, MS, or DC (to denote the machine
type - laptop, desktop, member server, domain
controller) along with a two or three digit computer number. For example, a
desktop at a building located a 17 Austin Friars London, I would call it
17AFDT001, and for a laptop at 212 Houndsditch in London, I would use
212HDLT001. In both cases I would then just increment the 001 to 002 and so
forth. In the AD, I would then put the machines and user accounts in org
units called Austin Friars, or Houndsditch. If you use multiple sites or
domains, then the last bit becomes less relevant.

hi,

we will be deploying Win2K from scratch on the user's machines (around
700) replacing NT 4. SO I was reviewing our machine naming convention.

Our Offices are located in two cities, one single domain.
So far we would use something like "CityName-Department-User Real Name" 
(where city name and department are abbrevations) to name workstations. 

Usually the NT Names are the users Company ID, which is unique.

I was wondering how you guys/girls are naming your workstations and users.

For Calendaring, ACT! 2000 should be able to accomplish what you're looking
for as well provide pretty good contact management. Before it was bought
from Symantec, their support people helped me set up a shared database that
was kind of unique for our needs. Interact Commerce Corporation now owns the

As far as peer-to-peer environment, all you would need is to designate one

I'm constantly asked for recommendations on VIABLE alternatives to the
MS Outlook/Exchange groupware system. Let's face it: Exchange is
expensive, and does a lot of things that most of my SMB customers will
never need. I've seen a few different products, but have yet to find one
that integrates and works as well as Outlook with an Exchange server.

Do you guys have any ideas on substitutes. The main core features that
most SMB's use would be the scheduling/calendaring , POP/IMAP email, and
address book. It'd be nice to have the whole lot integrated, but
seperate products with a good UI would do. The email and address book
clients are easy enough to find, but what about calendaring? Something
with the ability to both share an office calendar, and have seperate
(but viewable) calendars for each worker. Editor priveleges for a
secretary on specific calendars would be a plus, as well. To complicate
it a bit further, how about something that would work on a peer-to-peer
network (< 10 PC's) with no dedicated server? Any thoughts?

We have a workgroup environment for one of our remote offices. You actually
figured out what you'll do. Create a user (or use the administrator account)
and let everybody logon with this username and password (same password). No
more problems.

As you know, if you have a workgroup, them the SAM database is local! That
means each W2K computer will have its own SAM and it will let access to its
resources only if the user, who is trying to acess, is defined in its own
SAM database. That's why the above solution will work properly :)

We're in the same boat. Regardless of how many times I ask the same
question, I get the same answer - nothing compares to Exchange. As servers
are cheap in the overall scheme of things - if the company can not afford to
do Exchange, I still rely on ISP mail. In between the ISP and the office, I
use a software product called Software 602 which handles the pull portion.
In addition, I looked at the email from Deerfield but am REALLY pissed at
them and will not resell or purchase any of their products anymore.

Subject: Exchange/Outlook Alternatives

I'm constantly asked for recommendations on VIABLE alternatives to the
MS Outlook/Exchange groupware system. Let's face it: Exchange is
expensive, and does a lot of things that most of my SMB customers will
never need. I've seen a few different products, but have yet to find one
that integrates and works as well as Outlook with an Exchange server.

Do you guys have any ideas on substitutes. The main core features that
most SMB's use would be the scheduling/calendaring , POP/IMAP email, and
address book. It'd be nice to have the whole lot integrated, but
seperate products with a good UI would do. The email and address book
clients are easy enough to find, but what about calendaring? Something
with the ability to both share an office calendar, and have seperate
(but viewable) calendars for each worker. Editor priveleges for a
secretary on specific calendars would be a plus, as well. To complicate
it a bit further, how about something that would work on a peer-to-peer
network (< 10 PC's) with no dedicated server? Any thoughts?

RE: Known vulnerabilities w/ NTP?


I did use the ntp service on my Firebox so I think I'm alright. I also only
allow incoming connections from 3 different time servers and used nat to one
server. I should be good to go. Thanks for the help.

RE: IP Scanner that finds unused IPs?


This question has already been answered so all I'll say is that you are at
least 3 people short of being able to provide the services your users need
without running yourself into the ground. Fifty users = one IT person. Not
all at the same level, but it's a good rule of thumb. Bring it up to your
management.

Think about how long it takes you to find, download, test, build the install
and then install 1 patch. By purchasing the Update Expert software, you are
in essence paying a service to find, download, test and build the install.
All you have to do is point to the machine and click install. I was able to
patch my server with everything including the rollup patches in a few short
clicks as opposed to the old way.

Saved me time which in this business is money.

The low end license is 75 NT or W2K machines - also updates for IIS, SQL,
Exchange OS etc... Retail is $1500 but can be lower depending on where you
purchase. After I researched products, I found it to be an opportunity I

I wiped out a machine that was a domain contoller (not a master DC)

The error message that I'm getting is:

"NETLOGON: No windows NT or Windows 2000 domain contoller is available

RE: hfnetchk


Think about how long it takes you to find, download, test, build the install
and then install 1 patch. By purchasing the Update Expert software, you are
in essence paying a service to find, download, test and build the install.
All you have to do is point to the machine and click install. I was able to
patch my server with everything including the rollup patches in a few short
clicks as opposed to the old way.

Saved me time which in this business is money.

The low end license is 75 NT or W2K machines - also updates for IIS, SQL,
Exchange OS etc... Retail is $1500 but can be lower depending on where you
purchase. After I researched products, I found it to be an opportunity I
could not pass up - I became a reseller as well.

My $.02 - not as a salesperson, but as a administrator, owner and
accountant.

This is exactly what I was looking for, but I don't see it in my ntreskit

Is there a way to write the perfmon data to a text file periodically (every
fifteen minutes for two weeks, ideally), specifically the Logical Disk
data--Disk writes/sec, disk write bytes/sec?

I've tried using perfmon's native log format but when I choose Data From
that log file, I see the Logical Disk group category but the subcategory box
is empty.  One possible reason is that *some* but not all of the servers I'm
trying to collect data from do not have diskperf turned on.  Obviously that
needs to be addressed, but does one bad apple in a perfmon session spoil the
whole session?  I can't get data on any of the servers, not even the ones
with diskperf set correctly.

RE: Quick NAI ePO Question

2001-09-27 Thread Walters, Wade M.


We see a negligible impact on our workstations in terms of memory,
processor, bandwidth, and most anything else you'd like to use to measure.
The default configuration has the agents poll the server every 5 minutes to
enforce policies, with hourly updates to the server's database.  You
definitely don't want that much activity, or you will see your network drag.
Mcafee recommends a much longer time for larger networks with some
randomization to keep your ePO server from getting slammed.  Your only
problem with that is in an instance like nimda the other day with the wait
for dats.  Fortunately, and one of the very best reasons for even using this
software, you can push that update out at the site level from the console at
any time.  I don't think  your boss would mind a little bandwidth for that.
Punch some numbers on it until you find a comfort level.  We only enforce 3x
a day.  I'll wake the agents so they can have updates pushed to them if it
looks important.  HTH

RE: Files keep disappearing from the winnt dir

2001-09-27 Thread John Cesta - Lists

Title: Message



 
I have 
been running this system for about 5 years, been in the business for about 
17 years. What I am saying is that the files are gone. Vanished. Not there. 
Thyey are missing. If I try to run explorer from the start menu, nothing 
happens. So, I go to start > run > and run the explorer.exe which I have 
stored away in a seperate directory in case it vanishes from the winnt 
dir.
 
I am 
just asking if anyone has had the occasion of, maybe a corrupt system, and has 
experienced this before? I don't think any other files are missing, could be but 
I know the ones in the winnt are missing. I can copy them in there, see them, 
run them, and 30 minutes later they are not there. Take my statement 
literally...the files are gone, caput, vanished, not visible and all other 
meanings of "not there" etc. :)))

  I have to ask too: When you say the files are 
  missing - and yet you can run explorer from CMD - are you saying you can't see 
  them in Explorer or can't you see them from cmd prompt. Or - even better - if 
  you boot from floppy to cmd prompt are they there then? Is it FAT or NTFS 
  partition? Are other files 'missing' in other directories?

I

I am having a sort of weird problem on one of my NT4.0 SP6a 
servers. A while back I had to clean the server - chkdsk - seemed to 
work ok.
 
After that this problem keeps occurring. One day I noticed 
that the files - not any directories just files -  in the 
c:\winnt directory were gone except for two of them. I copied the 
files from another identical NT box in to this server's winnt 
directory. A day or so later they were gone again. I copied them 
into the dir again, a day later they are gone. I KNOW that the 
server does not have any viruses. I can only figure that the server 
may have a corrupt file system and needs to be cleaned once more. 

 
Any suggestions?

RE: ArcServeIT vs. Backup Exec

2001-09-27 Thread Ross Wakelin


Wotcha,

We used ArcServe for about 5 years before moving to BE.  With
Arcserve we found it either installs and works first time, or
you will never EVER get it working, even if the CA helpdesk 
ever rings you back.  We had two machines, exact clones of each
other, from a reputable supplier, and Arcserve worked on one,
and failed to even install properly on the other.  Go figure.
The standard CA support response is "have you reinstalled the
software - no, then go do it"
When it worked, it was a charm, but we were growing and 
couldn't afford the time to troubleshoot 50% of the installs.

With BE, it just worked.

This was NT4, Exchange 5.0 and 5.5

Good luck

Daniel,
I've used both.  I haven't really been pleased with either, but IMHO
Veritas Backup Exec is a "little" better if for nothing else than from a
support perspective.  I believe CA received the "worst support" W2K News
Target award this year for good reason. I am currently using BENT 8.6
with Exchange, SQL and Drive Library options. Neither BENT or ArcServeIT
seemed 100% reliable , so it was a choice of the lesser of two evils.
For example, BENT will fail to connect to my Exchange server about 1 day
a week (seemingly random intervals).

what's up gold


i'm using what's up gold network monitor.  i removed three servers from my
netwok this morning, and set what's up gold to not monitor the removed
servers, i also disabled alerts, and logging.  however, my web interface
management console still reports the three systems as down!  in addition,
opening what's up gold on the main server (in application mode) reports
all systems operational - the removed systems are not present.  it has
been several hours now, so its not a refresh thing, and i intend on
bringing the systems online someday, so don't want to delete the entries. 
what's going on here? anyone familiar w/ this software?

Another neat tip I received from someone at MS is you can search for an 
exact Knowledgebase article number in IE.  In the address line you type in 
the letters mskb followed by a space and then just the numbers of the kb 
article.
 
For

Install it on all the servers and config aboutime

get the time from three specific IP address on specific

I 
then set it in my users login scripts to go to a specific server based on

Re: Files keep disappearing from the winnt dir

2001-09-27 Thread Chris Shattock

Title: Message



I have to ask too: When you say the files are 
missing - and yet you can run explorer from CMD - are you saying you can't see 
them in Explorer or can't you see them from cmd prompt. Or - even better - if 
you boot from floppy to cmd prompt are they there then? Is it FAT or NTFS 
partition? Are other files 'missing' in other directories?

  I am having a sort of weird problem on one of my NT4.0 SP6a 
  servers. A while back I had to clean the server - chkdsk - seemed to 
  work ok.
   
  After that this problem keeps occurring. One day I noticed that 
  the files - not any directories just files -  in the 
  c:\winnt directory were gone except for two of them. I copied the 
  files from another identical NT box in to this server's winnt 
  directory. A day or so later they were gone again. I copied them into 
  the dir again, a day later they are gone. I KNOW that the server does 
  not have any viruses. I can only figure that the server may have a 
  corrupt file system and needs to be cleaned once more. 
  
   
  Any suggestions?

RE: Win2k Time Server help Needed.

2001-09-27 Thread Len Hammond

Title: Message



Ditto 
the logon script for all of the workstations.  I also spread 
the workstaion traffic over several servers and then schedule the servers 
to sync daily using the AT scheduler.  This keeps all but one time sync 
traffic off of the WAN link too as all workstaions on one side of a WAN link can 
hit the server on their side.  Get all of the servers to sync with the 
server that holds time best or to the server that you have sync with a known 
good time server on the internet.  This is working well here and at my last 
gig.

RE: Does Windows XP provide Disk mirroring?

2001-09-27 Thread Miley, Dan

Title: Message



to do 
raid on professional/workstation/?xp pro or home? I'd use a hardware raid 
controller.  I don't think "professional" supports software raid.  
Look for one with lots of memory, good performance, hotswappability (is that a 
word?), support for spare drives, no changes to the OS or disk manager, or 
some combination of the previous. 
 
just 
make a repair disk set with the disk drivers on it, then test to make sure you 
can boot off the floppyset.  
 
I've 
used raid controllers from HP, IBM and Adaptec (I think),  and had good 
success.  They'll usually do raid1, 5 and 10.  some have raid 15 
mirrored striped (also known as plaid).  The more expensive (read server) 
cards come with more cache, and better managment software.  The cheaper 
ones (usually) have no hot swap, and more basic config and 
management.
 
I've 
mostly done mirror for the system and boot volume, then a stripe set for 
data/apps volume.  From what I understand it's better not to cache SQL 
server as it does it's own caching and performance tuning, and for data and 
transaction security in case of power failure.
 
Of 
course that all depends on what apps you are running that need 
raid.

Warning: If you want disk

disks, and once they're dynamic there's NO going back.  Your 
familiar disk utilities may no longer work, and you have now forsaken

RE: IP Scanner that finds unused IPs?

2001-09-27 Thread Bob Prince


Always question when they tell you you can't use DHCP...

If what they mean is that you must assign specific IP's to
specific machines - what would you rather do?

Manually assign IP's and 3-6 other settings for DNS/WINS/DFGW

OR

USE reservation tied to a MAC address to just have it all handed down
It is a lot easier to just bring up a PC and then cut and past a
reservation
into DHCP. If DFGW needs to change, etc - change it one place not
100..etc.

Most people that say you can't use DHCP - just don't know how to use it!

Is it possible
to set up a Win2k server as the time server for our network when it is not
the Domain Controller for a Winnt4 based LAN?
If so, any
pointers as to how to get this to work would be great! (Links,

I've been

RE: Workstation Naming Standards

2001-09-27 Thread Bob Prince


My only two cents are:

1. Don't use user names - always a bad idea.
2. Think about browse order - in names.

While most users should rarely have to use browsing to do useful work
you will! So having server codes at front of browse lists is very
helpful.
My last big jobs - server started with SRVR and workstations where
Xn.
Just a lot more easy to get around.

Subject: Workstation Naming Standards

hi,

we will be deploying Win2K from scratch on the user's machines (around
700) replacing NT 4. SO I was reviewing our machine naming convention.

Our Offices are located in two cities, one single domain.
So far we would use something like "CityName-Department-User Real Name" 
(where city name and department are abbrevations) to name workstations. 

Usually the NT Names are the users Company ID, which is unique.

I was wondering how you guys/girls are naming your workstations and
users.

Uso

    I would like to know what do you do to assign a printer to a user?


    Do you map it in the login script depending if they are member of a

    Because for now, with POLEDIT, my users aren't able to map their
printer, I must do it.


    Since I have printers with or without duplex unit, mailbox,

printer to a user (or computer)

Re: Exchange 5.5 and Windows CE - I was wrong...

Dan,

It worked. Specifying SMTP server of ISP worked. The person who was trying
it before had misspelled the name.

I feet like a real dummy since the POP3 account that I have been using for
more than 2 years to participate in this list has similar setup, though in
reverse.

Thanks again.

  I am having a

  had to clean the server - chkdsk - seemed to work 
  ok.
  
   
  
  After that 
  this problem keeps occurring. One day I noticed that the files - 
  not any directories just files -  in the c:\winnt directory 
  were gone except for two of them. I copied the files from another 
  identical NT box in to this server's winnt directory. A day or so 
  later they were gone again. I copied them into the dir again, a day 
  later they are gone. I KNOW that the server does not have any viruses. 
  I can only figure that the server may have a corrupt file system and 
  needs to be cleaned once more.

  suggestions?

Agreed - I've experienced it too many times. Even
if it is the RAM you can sometimes get away with modifying BIOS settings -
(disabling cache etc.). This will REALLY slow down the Install but once
completed you are usually able to tweak the BIOS for more speed. What
motherboard is it - and what chipset is on it?

Goodmorning
All,
I've
been working on installing W2K Pro on a test box and I continually receive
an error during the setup process.
I
am able to get to the portion of the CD install where it begins copying
files to the hard drive.
However, each time at about 17% or 18% of the process I receive an
error that a particular file cannot be copied to the hard drive. I can hit retry and the same message
reappears. The message further
states that there is something wrong with the CD and if the error persists
to call MS Support.
The
test system is a P3/600 with 2 SCSI drives running off of an Adaptec 2940UW
controller. I have swapped all
of the parts out: SCSI cables,
IDE cable for the CD, the actual CD and I've also used 3 different copies of
W2K Professional on CD.
I
really don't want to call MS.
Anyone have any suggestions?
TIA

Re: ISP with worldwide access points

2001-09-27 Thread Chris Ward-Johnson


http://www.IBM.net used to be good, it's now owned by AT&T and I don't know
what they're like these days. Used to be fine.
Personally I now use a simple CompuServe DUN connectoid set up for wherever
I'm going, although I understand that they may now be starting to charge
some kinds of accounts for logging on outside their 'home' territory. Also
it can be a tad of a pain setting up the connectoid in the first place as
most countries use their own scripts - even within Europe. France has two
different ones depending on whether you're in Paris or not, for example.
Simple billing though.
Otherwise I advise people to have a look at www.yahoo. (where XX is the
country code for the place you're going to) for 'free' ISPs which only
charge you dialup phone costs.
