After bumbling through the setup, we are now testing sample and canned reports. The samples are working great, but I'm having a problem seeing *current* data in the canned reports provided to us (actually Deltek Performance Manager reports). I can look at 2007 data all day long, but when I...

First off, I'm baffled with all of this. Please excuse what may appear to be really dumb questions. I'm not a DB expert or a report writer, I'm just an admin doing an install of a report manager using Cognos8. One of the things installed is Cognos 8 BI Metric Modeling v 8.3 (Metric Designer)...

Randomly going thru directories and found several mariner.* files in C:\Windows. Mariner.ini contains: I can't find an executable or runnable command that corresponds with it. Running a search on various search engines and MS site turned up nothing but hijackthis logs, and it's not part of...

When a mail server does 'reverse dns' when deciding to allow or deny an email, does it compare MX records (ie. mail.abc.null), or does it look at the A record for the domain itself (abc.null)? Does the reverse DNS of the mail server need to match that of the website (www.abc.null) or the...

What would you do if you woke up one morning and decided that after years of school and work, doing what you thought you should be doing, you absolutely hate what you are doing in IT? What if you find that you want to move in a completely different direction? (Disclaimer: I took a Myers-Briggs...

Do you think that project development can be (or is being) abused by developers if there is no project manager or systems development manager present?

We're having some issues on 2003 server that I've tracked back to a specific date. When I ran a search for all files created on that date, it pulled up four files, moved down two spaces, then coughed up several dozen more. It's very hard to describe, it's like viewing a list of files and...

We have a DTS that deletes and adds information to an online database. Default settings have 4 steps/processes running at one time upon success. However, the delete function appears to be taking longer and longer to run, and other processes are kicking in too early causing the DTS to fail...

I'm trying to clean up a laptop from an old user so I can pass it on to a new user. I'd really like to take a lot of the programs off that this user installed, but when I go into Add/Rem in the control panel, there is no "Remove/Repair" button on 90% of the programs listed! TweakUI didn't do...

I found a message in my server 2003 App event log that simply states "Secars started!" I can't find anything on my system referencing 'secars' except in my internet history from multiple search engines. I can't find anything on the internet that actually references computer software when...

This has been happening more and more often... First we see the network shares drop, then the server stops responding, then the server won't reboot unless you go to last known good config. Each time, the only error I can find is that NSCTOP.exe is faulting module ntdll.exe. I can't find any...

What would be the easiest way (other than fixing ODBC's, already done) to reconnect the catalogs to the sql database in its new location (new server)? The only way that I've found is to install the Admin version parallel to the User version, then go to Catalogs, Databases, and creating a new...

Is it possible to set up an XP machine to load the same mapped drives and printers for each domain user who logs on to it? Thanks in advance!

On my way in this morning, I got a call that our server was down and needed to be rebooted. When I got in about 10 minutes later, it was still applying network settings. I was told that it installed Windows Updates when it was shutting down. That was over an hour ago. The window showing...

I've recently bought a monster of a 2003 server, and am decommissioning several older 2000 servers. I'd like to go ahead and utilize them as workstations. I'm currently working with an old web server with a plane jane install, no dns setup, no AD setup, just IIS. I can't, for the life of me...

I work for a firm that has multiple people working in various states and also an office in a city about 200 miles away. I'm finding that I'm getting more headaches than usual as admin and support for these people. Because they are not hired for their technical capabilities, I can't always tell...

As an ex user of Eudora, I'm a bit disappointed in Outlook's handling of attachments. In Eudora, I could navigate to an attachments folder and look at a list of them, in Outlook I bang my head on my desk wondering where the * they are! Is there any way to locate my attachments, or view all of...

Just began using OL2007 last week. Some of the e-mails I receive are nothing but the raw html code instead of the formatted text. Where on earth do I change my settings so I can see the formatted text instead? I'm about to migrate the our office to exchange, and I've got to figure this out...

I'd like to set up my workstations to run a very basic script at either startup or shutdown depending on whether it is a desktop or laptop. I have a mix of Win2K and XPsp2 machines that I need to grab specific files from for backup purposes. (Very small network that's growing quickly, have...

I don't normally use the My Documents folder on my own system. I opened it earlier after missing the icon I was aiming for. I've never seen anything like this and am now worried I've got something on my system that I can't spot in Belarc, and that Adaware and Spybot haven't picked up. I just...
