RE: New W2K Server
Thanks Brian, I did notice that the problems when I replaced the original drive (a 2.1Gb WD). I was so anxious to get started that I'm sure I may have overlooked something else in my haste. Thank goodness it's a home system and since I'm between jobs right now, I have a little extra time to play with W2K Adv Srvr. Thanks loads, Jesse E. Gardner, MCP P.O.

RE: New W2K Server
What if you have IIS setup behind a firewall? I have so far only allowed port 21 through (FTP). What do you need to do to protect against Code Red? I believe I have all the updates, when I go to http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com it shows me that I have all necessary updates installed. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, August 27, 2001 1:02 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject:Re: New W2K Server Shut off IIS so you dont get Code Red.Go to Windows update and apply all the updates.

RE: New W2K Server
No problems as long as the domain name is different. If you are currently using DHCP, make sure the new server is not set up as a DHCP server or make sure it has it's own address range to hand out. You should be able to migrate clients over one at a time if you want. Just join them to the new domain. -Original Message- From: Erik Brown [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, August 27, 2001 10:22 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: New W2K Server I have finally build my first W2k Server.
