Please see the email below is that fake or what? Heads up. WORST EVER VIRUS (CNN announced) PLEASE SEND THIS TO EVERYONE ON YOUR CONTACT LIST !! A new virus has just been discovered that has been classified by Microsoft as the most destructive ever! This virus was Discovered yesterday afternoon by McAfee and no vaccine has yet been developed. This virus simply destroys Sector Zero from the hard disk, where vital information for its functioning are stored. This virus acts in the following manner: It sends itself automatically to all contacts on your list with the title A Virtual Card for You. As soon as the supposed virtual card is opened, the computer freezes so that the user has to reboot. When the ctrl+alt+del keys or the reset button are pressed, the virus destroys Sector Zero, thus permanently destroying the hard disk. Yesterday in just a few hours this virus caused panic in New York, according to news broadcast by CNN. This alert was received by an employee of Microsoft. So don't open any mails with subject: A Virtual Card for You. As soon as you get the mail, delete it. Please pass this mail to all of your friends. Forward this to everyone in your address book. I would rather receive this 25 times than not at all. Also: Intel announced that a new and very destructive virus was discovered recently. If you receive an email called An Internet Flower For You, do not open it. Delete it right away! This virus removes all dynamic link libraries (.dll files) from your computer.

First of all thanks to everyone for your suggestions. Let me clarify my situation. Using the same version of Outlook 2k on a NT4 WS (SP6a) or Win 2k Pro Sp2, I can view the attachments on the NT 4 WS but not on the Win 2k Pro computer. I've also tried using Outlook XP, still a no go. The bottom line is, I can view attachments under NT 4 but not Win 2k. I was told by another NA that this is a lovely "feature" of Win 2k. My question is, is there a workaround for this? We'll soon be migrating all of the workstations except 1 to Win 2k from NT 4 WS.

Hi Kim, I've been using w2k with Office 2000 and Exchange 5.5 for awhile now, since the beta of win2k and the release of O2k, attachments show up by default. If you're exchange server is less than sp3 for exchange 5.5, update that. Also, MS released an Outlook client for Exchange 5.5 sp3 specifically, check your technet subscription if you have one. I would patch Office 2k up to sr2 if you don't have access to this. Is it possible that on your exchange server someone configured a mailbox limit or attachment size limit that you're not aware of? I know our Exchange server (before sp3) would not always keep the information store defaults on max size limits for all mailboxes. Occasionally, a user would have a different limit than others, even though his/her mailbox was set to use the IS defaults. Also, Norton Antivirus Corporate edition with exchange support enabled will do this on the client side. If this is suspect, uninstall norton and reinstall without exchange support enabled, all virus scanning will still take place, read symantec's details for more, don't know the link off the top of my head.

I know Win 2k disables the ability to view attachments such as *.mdb, *.exe, etc. It simplifies our lives considerably to email things from client sites back to the office via email and its getting to be a pain because the Win 2k Pro WS won't allow us to view the attachments.

Let me give some background. I have several scripts I need to schedule to run on a system that has the console locked. Using WinAT/Scheduler I can get the script to run and process just fine. Now, in my script I am making a call to map to d$ on one of my servers, which probably isn't the greatest idea, but that's just the way it is at the moment. If the console is not locked, this script goes off without a hitch, but when the console is locked (which I need it to be) the script pauses, waiting for the password to access the d$ share as administrator (I assume)...what gives? I was thinking I could just pass the authentication information via the .cmd file if I could code it as an executable, I just don't want the login/pass sitting out there in plain text. The coded .exe would give me some sort of warm fuzzy and at least allow me to move on to more pressing issues... TIA! Aaron G. Krueger Sr. Network Analyst Want to unsub?

RE: OT E-Mail Disclaimers
Lawyers seem to like them. The theory is that if a message says something that the company would wish to disassociate itself from, the disclaimer[1] gives some basis for this. I remain unconvinced that it would actually stand up in court[4]. After all, we don't attach disclaimers when we talk on the telephone, snail mail leaving the office (while all mail leaving the office is supposed to be checked by a Partner, this is a procedure that can be circumvented) does not contain a load of legal tosh It all started with faxes. For some reason it was deemed necessary to put a if we sent you this by mistake you must forget you ever saw it and shoot yourself immediately tag on the bottom. When we started using email, various PHBs thought we should do the same with email[5]. Then there was the case where an employee of one mumble insurance company said something or other in an email about another mumble insurance company, and the second company sued for libel, and thanks to the UK's libel laws[6] panic set in... So we have one. I don't think it serves any real purpose other than satisfying the desires of PHBs to have a disclaimer because everyone else has one. They're mostly harmless, so long as they don't get too long. [1] Like mine[2] [2] It wasn't my idea[3] [3] I resisted for as long as possible [4] Depending on local laws [5] Why? If you send a letter to the wrong address you don't put a label in saying if we were so dumb as to post this to the wrong place, feed it to the dog, do you? [6] Better than the lottery...
