WSUS 3.0 SP1
I installed WSUS 3.0 SP1 and created the GPO to point the client computers to the WSUS server yesterday morning. I only have 7 computers out of 171 showing up and my concern is the client side targeting URL that I am using is hosting another website that I was not aware of. When I installed IIS component of WSUS I used the default settings and that URL was already being used for an intranet site. My question is does it matter if that URL http://servernamehttp://servername/ is being used? Can I change the settings in IIS to something else or would it just be easier to reinstall and change it there? My GPO for my clients point to htt://servername and I checked the registry on a dozen computers and it's pointed correctly but not showing up in the WSUS console.

RE: WSUS 3.0 SP1
There was another GPO blocking the one I created. After going through and reviewing all our GPO's I found where Configure Automatic Updates was disabled on one GPO's we use. Once I enabled and scheduled this the PC's via the Configure Automatic Updates the pc's in the OU started reporting into the WSUS server after a gpupdate. Can anyone check there GPO that is using WSUS and confirm that this has to be enabled for pc's to report back to the WSUS server.

Issue with Outlook 2003 and Exchange 2007
Is there a fix for an issue with Outlook 2003 not being able to arrange messages by subject and show in groups, once a mailbox has been moved from exchange 2003 to exchange 2007? I did not see this issues addressed in the SP1 roll out. Should I expect some issues while still using Outlook 2003?

Cannot RDC to server
I have a 2003 box that I can no longer RDC to. It was working fine yesterday, eventvw looks clean, services are all running normally. The box has been rebooted recently and no programs have been loaded recently that may cause this. I do not have access to the routers but the only thing I could think of is the network engineer changed the port number for RDC to ride. How could I check that without having access to the routers? Any ideas on troubleshooting this would be great?

RE: Cannot RDC to server
I checked DNS and the entry is correct. I can not connect by IP address. Right now since this server is in a remote location the only access I have is via the drac.

RE: Cannot RDC to server
I could connect via telnet so that is good there is no firewall issue. I will reboot the server and see what happens.

DMZ\Firewall Question
I have a server in the DMZ that has no access from our network. I need to give access from our domain to a single folder on the server. What methods and what ports need to be opened on a firewall to allow a user to access this folder; either using a browser or My Computer so a domain user can drop files in the folder and retrieve files from the folder, while FTP is a great way to do this is there a method of access as simple as dragging and dropping a file. Any ideas are appreciated MS 2003 environment ASA Firewall Thanks, KC Carter System Administrator 302-734-1450 [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ Upgrade to Next Generation Antispam/Antivirus with Ninja!~ ~ http://www.sunbelt-software.com/SunbeltMessagingNinja.cfm ~
RE: IIS 6.0 permissions
Thanks Ken KC Carter System Administrator 302-734-1450 [EMAIL PROTECTED] From: Ken Schaefer [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, July 14, 2008 9:08 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: IIS 6.0 permissions There's no real supported way of doing this. Pretty much the only two ways are: a) Get hold of a third party control panel (e.g. Helm). This connects as an admin user to the metabase, but implements it's own security system for users b) Re-ACL the metabase (the metabase keys have permissions just like files, folders, registry keys etc). You need to write your own tools to permit users to alter keys that you've delegated permissions to (as the IIS Manager does a check for Administrator group membership) Alternatively, upgrade to IIS 7.0.

Error message between two Exchange 2007 servers
I just recently installed two new Exchange 2007 servers into our AD with the typical roles. When I log into EMC highlight client access in the server configuration object and click OWA I get this error below . I verified that the directories show up in IIS is there an additional setting that needs to be configured on these directories so the two exchange server roles can communicate to one another.
