Re: Account Names Not Resolving

Probably not what you are wanting to read, but... We had two Win2K servers which were DCs. We eventually got new hardware, built some new Win2003 servers, did all the preliminary checks and preps, and promoted them to DCs. We then went though the motions of transfering FSMO roles to the new s

Yes it does (ran nltest /sc_verify:domain - successful). DNS updated...as in pointing to a different DNS server?...no, that hasn't changed. On Wed, May 18, 2011 at 10:52 AM, Michael B. Smith wrote: > Does it have a secure channel to another DC in the site? Has DNS been > updated on the server’s

Thanks, guys... I don't see this as a benefit for us with Vipre Enterprise Premium. That already includes web protection and since we don't host our own email or website I don't see any benefit for that sort of thing. 'Preciate the input and explanation. -Original Message- From: Alan Dav

RE: Vipre Newbie

IIRC there is a list of recommended file types (scr, exe, etc...) but we also block bitmap and zip files. Blocking zips can cause you a little strife from time to time (Office 2007 files sometimes get blocked in spite of the allow rule) but we prefer to be safe not sorry. From: Kelsey, John [ma

Vipre Newbie

We recently became proud parents of Vipre for Exchange (2003). In the process of setting it up now. Anybody care to share their attachment filtering policy? As in what is best practice to block/allow and in which direction? Thanks all! * John C. Kelsey

Account Names Not Resolving

Good morning all, I'm finally getting around to an issue that has been driving me a *bit* crazy for months. The scenario... - Win2K Server - did have Exchange 2003 installed and *was* a DC - Installed new server and did a swing migration to Exchange 2010 - Uninstalled Exchange 2003 - DCPromo'd th

Almost certainly. We use SaaS for email and a separate SaaS offering for all web traffic. On top of that we have endpoint AV for all clients and servers plus alternate AV for internet service facing servers (eg. proxy and mail). Point being .. cloud stuff doesn't affect what you do internally, i
