When our consultants stood up our exchange server, they set up the default hub transport email address policy to create two addresses on mailbox creation: [samaccountname]@FQDN (abc12@internal.contoso.com), and the default advertised reply to adddress of [first.last]@contoso.com. I assume the...

We are standing up a new Lync server. Our consultants seem to be having trouble getting permissions right. At one point we were told: "you need to setup the SIP URI by hand before enabling the user" Seems fishy to me since the Lync control panel says "Generate Users SIP URI:" "generate" tells...

TonHu, we are using a Time and Attendance browser based app that runs from an intranet web server. The app doesnt get installed client side. "Static Install" is designed just for this occasion. It means that any subsequent installs of future JREs will NOT overwrite it. In the past they were...

The Windows Platform.

We are needing to make sure a certain version if JRE is installed as static. All new deployments we can guarantee the install type as static. How do we tell if any existing installs are installed in static mode? I see lots of references to static, family, and consumer install types, but...

As I recall, Windows saves profile info based on hardware configs. For example it knows when your PC is docked/closed with dual external monitors vs sitting on the conference room table running on the built-in LCD. Is it possible to delete ONE of those hardware profiles without nuking the...

Here's an odd one. We are migrating to a new server. After pulling the files from the old server via robocopy (in an elevated prompt) we are not fully able to access the folders from the server console. (without clicking extra approvals) If I browse to the share from a workstation, I can get...

deployed printers is on the long term roadmap.

Dont forget deployed printers via GPO. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc722179%28WS.10%29.aspx http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc754699.aspx

Im not sure what caused it, but suddenly I cannot log into any of my VMs (xp mode or any other user created VMs) if I have the integration tools enabled. If I disable integration I can usually log in. I can usually bypass the problem by removing and re-adding the VM to the domain, but after a...

Thanks Baddos but unfortunately you missed the part about the sheer numbers of print servers/printers. Too many variables to do a simple "if you see x printer, remove it and install it".

problem: Anyone know of a RELIABLE way to FORCE XP to update the print drivers the next time it connects to the server queue? As I recall the first (after each restart) time a client tries to print it should check the server driver version and update as necessary. XP isnt doing that. Even...

We have about 550 XP Pro PCs and 23 2008R2 print servers driving 100 or so Ricoh printers in our enterprise. They are now all running the Ricoh v3.6.0 universal driver. Over the past 3 months our printers have been running slower and slower. Its been a slow death spiral, but as of the last 2...

I have a batch file login script I need to run to determine if a certain version of Java is installed during startup, and if not, install it. I found references to using "reg query" statements, but for some reason I get get it to return true/false values based n the info I found. the...

That is kinda what I thought. Although I think Microsofts terms are a bit off the mark. When I hear the term "template" I think of a baseline starting point that can be added to and not a hard and fast setup.
