I always just go for the big MS book read through that the Labs, I do these in a virtual environment so I can save at each stage and redo it over and over) are great and so far haven't had to resit any exams. Don't really do the "testking" thing as I've heard they have a lot of wrong answers so...

does the user use TS or a desktop? You may have to create a new gpo which sets the Default Gateway to "False" and apply it to an OU create specifically for the numpty! Good luck. Iain

Sounds like the machines have got there DNS a bit mixed up. I would run a flushdns then reg dns and go from there. What would cause this???? Microsoft Magic!!! Don't laugh keeps us in a job :) Iain

If its a 40GB compressed then it would be 20GB uncompressed so there "probably" isn't a problem as such. I would hazzard a guess that thye files you're backing up aren't compressable; can I ask which types you are backing up? Also are you using Hardware or Software compression or both? If you...

Not sure exactly what you need but you could have a look at http://www.systemtools.com/somarsoft/index.html and find dumpsec. This has probably been superceded now but still very useful. Iain

Go into your GPO or make a new one, use the default or however you do it: Computer Config - Admin Templates - Network - Network Connections - Windows Firewall Then Windows Firewall: Protect all NW Connections - and set this to Disable then any XP PC with Windows Firewall will have this...
