I have a client with a four-year old SBS 2000 SP4 install on a Dell

little that correlates directly with the crashes. The event logs are pret

the registry tweaks really only disable the driver startup, so you would
still have to reboot for that to take effect. All in all, the ADM approach

Todd,
It really comes down to what you want to achieve with your Domain-based
DFS root and standalone DFS root. Now that I've stated the obvious -
organising your data in a logical fashion can have far reaching
implications (good and bad) for your staff, but I'm all for making it
easier for them
Neil,
Just to let you know, both Sonar and Ultrasound are FRS diagnostics
only, and work with DFS/FRS in Win2K3 R1. If I understand Steve's
problem, his issue is with DFSR under Win2K3 R2.
The best diagnostic tools to look at for troubleshooting a DFSR problem
are:

Can't you just set up two group policies with two .adm files? One
activates the lock, and the other group policy deactivates the lock.
Or, as those are just registry entries, you *can* set it up so that the

The IBM T-series laptops that we use here have a "battery" mode that slows down
the processor speed, resulting in less power consumption by the processor and
less heat generated (resulting in the cooling fan cycling on and off less).

Another option is to use dnscmd to dump the zone info to file. You can use

So your last part about disk. Does waking up from those screen and hdd settings

Similarly, does coming out of Sleep hit the battery?

Ben-
You might want to consider one of the 3rd party solutions for this. There
are several on the market that both use and don't use Group Policy to

If you don't have a budget, then there is a policy hack you can use to ju
You'd have to have a different server do the writing. You'd make a
different, non-ad server a delegated DNS host and then have it write zone
file there.

Should mention a few other things, though right?
If you're using cached mode, that's great, but you need to know where the
