Ugh... I found a policy in the firewall that was out of place. I usually have my pc set to allow rdp only from a specific public ip address. At some point I had created a temp policy to allow login from ALL, and I missed it when looking at my firewall rules. So it was Ahole Hackers trying to...

No services other than any that may have been added as part of MS default OS install. One thing I forgot to mention. After Im locked out and I go to AD on the server to unlock the account, when I get back to my pc theres a windows logon reminder saying "windows needs my current credentials" and...

Hi Everyone, this may not be the right forum for this thread (probably an AD issue) but Ill start here anyway. I am running a network with server 2012 DCs and file servers, with clients all Win 7 Pro machines. Over the last few weeks my domain account ( I have domain admin privileges) has been...

Hi... I am getting the following warning message: The File Replication Service is having trouble enabling replication from HTOA2003SERVER to HTOASERVER2012 for c:\windows\sysvol\domain using the DNS name Htoa2003server.htoa.local. FRS will keep retrying. Following are some of the reasons you...

Sorry if this is in the wrong thread, I cant actually find one matching my issue. I have a windows lan running 3 server 2012s (2 are DCs and the 3rd is just a file server)The clients are all Win7 Pro 64 bit pcs. The clients all have login scripts that map them to appropriate network drives on...

Linney... No, but its difficult to troubleshoot, because, as with the pre SP1 problem, this issue is more prevelant the longer the pc is left on. If I try and recreate the problem, by simply shutting the pc down after its only been on a for mere minutes then it shuts down without issue every...

Thanks Lemon. however all my machines are running the hive unload tool. I did notice theres a newer version than the one my machines are running. So I will be updating the PC and see if that resolves this issue. "Have you ever imagined a world with no hypothetical situations?

Hi I think this issue is related to a windows update, but Im not sure which one. All of a sudden, about 10 out of 50 XP Pro SP3 machines are hanging at the Saving your settings, and then the only way to shut the machine down is to use the power off button on the pc. The issues seems to be...

Hi,I have a domain with a mix of 32 bit XP pro machines, and a couple of 64 bit Win 7 machines. One of the XP machines is hosting an HP 2550L printer and has the Share enabled. A 64 bit Win 7 needs to print to it but of course needs the right drivers. The only 64 bit driver for this printer is...

When I do a nslookup on my domain, it returns 5 dns addresses. Two of them are the the ips of my dns servers so thats ok. The other three are 169.IPs,(I know what 169 ips are). These 3 ips are in the forward look upzone as the 1st 3 host A records. I didnt put them there, so I assume at one...

Hi.. A user is running outlook 2000, with auto send/recieve set at 12 minutes. Even tho the "hide details" box is checked, the progess bar comes up everytime a send/recieve is done. Any ideas on why its running even when its been told not to, and how to fix ? "Have you ever imagined a world...

Hi .. I currently have a single DC on a 2003 domain. My question is 2 parts.. 1. Can I add a server 2008 to the domain?, and.. 2. Can that 2008 be the secondary server to the primary 2003? Cheers "Have you ever imagined a world with no hypothetical situations?

If you are using automatic scheduled send/recieve, try bumping the frequency up to 10 minutes. We did this along time ago and our dup emails dropped dramatically. It was something to do with the way outlook talks to the mail server, and having a scheduled send/recieve set to run within short...

Hi.. My apoligises if this is the wrong forum... I have an Xp pro lap-top thats part of a domain, and I want the user to be able to use the laptop at home (doesnt need domain resoources at home). How or where do I set it up so he can used cached credentials so he can log on outside the domain...
