Hi, I'm about to decommision the first exchange 2003 server in the org (have 1 other 2003 Exchange server). I was going through all the public folders and noticed that I have multiple store events folders, all have no replicas listed except 1. The folder that does have both my exchange servers...

Hi, I need to move some users to a new domain in a new forest and also move their mailboxes. I do have network connectivity between the 2 domains. I will use admt for the AD stuff but was wondering what the best way to move user mailboxes is across domains? I was thinking I could just use move...

I have 2 SQL 2008 R2 servers on different sites with a high speed fibre link between the 2. On my main site I have some desktops with an old app running that references the servername and IP. I would like to the fail them over to talk to the offsite server during patching / upgrades with minimal...

Hi, I've been using 11d to backup approx 20 Windows servers inc Exchange,SQL and Sharepoint to an LTO2 autoloader and an lto3 library - total of approx 1TB. I've just put in a SAN and will be purchasing the SAN addon for Backup exec. I've never used B2D before so I was just wondering what would...

Hi, I have a problem where laptop users take home their laptop, plug them into their ADSL routers and copy crap on to them. Apart from giving them all static IPs, is there a way I can make these laptops only accept leases from our DHCP server here? Also is there a way to make this work the...

Hi, let me prefix this by saying I'm really out of my depth here. I have 2 878s - one at head office and 1 is for a new site. Both have NAT disabled and are connected by 2MB SHDSL to our providers MPLS cloud. I'm waiting for the line to be provisioned at the remote site but I've configured...

Backup Exec 11d to tape Hi, I recently replaced 2 PC class 2000 Domain controllers (IDE drives and software Raid) and 100MB Nics with 2 new 2003R2 Proliants, Raid 1+0, 15k SAS drives heaps of RAM and 1Gb Nics. The problem is that one of the DCs takes an hour and a half and the other one is...

Hi, at the end of this week I'll be upgrading 2 DCs to 2003 R2. I've read a lot on the subject and am quite confident in all going well. I have 2 silly questions that are so stupid I cannot find answers anywhere. 1. My functional level is currently 2000 native, will that automatically change to...

I would like to set up a security group and give them permissions to relay mail on port 25 through the Exchange 2003 SP2 box. The SMTP connector points to our external facing Mail Gateway running MailMarshal (this will only allow specific IPs to relay not AD security groups). I would like to...

Hi, just about to upgrade DCs from 2000 boxes to 2003R2. Only question is one of the DCs has an enterprise CA on it which from what I can tell isnt used (used to be for OWA but now use 3rd party cert), there is 2 current certificates issued, one to itself (the DC that runs the CA) and one isseud...

In a DR test I have server_a in a workgroup that has backup exec installed on it, I have server_b, also in a workgroup that I need to restore data and system state to. When I go to restore I can select files from server_b.domainname.com but server_a cant write the to it because there is no...

I will shortly be replacing 2 Win2000 DCs with 2 2003R2 ones and am just in the process of investigating everything I need to change. One thing I'm not sure about is that there is a CA on the DC that holds the FSMO roles. It has issued certificates to itself and the other DC - both are just DCs...

Hi, I've recently installed IAS on a 2003 R2 box. It works fine and runs under the local system account. However whenever the server is rebooted the service does not start and is disabled. I then set it to automatic and it starts fine. This happens on every reboot. There is nothing showing in...

Hi, I have around 10 servers to backup, the backup window for each server can vary. How can I have the jobs start one after another? Currently I am backing up to a tape library with one 400GB tape, I do not specify the slot in the policies just the library. Problem is first job kicks off, 2...

Hi, we use Windows 2003 mobile devices in our organisation which receive email from our Exchange 2003 SP2 server. When I set up a new device I need to install a certificate on it in order for it to be able to sync. This certificate is due to expire soon. I know a little bit about IIS but does...

Hi, just looking for some clarification on AD integrated DNS. I have 2 DCs (both Win2k), up until recently only one of them had DNS so I thought it a good idea to add DNS to the 2nd DC. After reading on the MS site how to add a secondary DNS server I installed DNS on the 2 DC. I was ready to add...

Hi, I'm trying to use GPO to make local drives available for 1 group of laptops based on security group. I can make it work for everyone or noone with group policy. The problem is I have the TS in its own OU so Computer poilcy applies to the TS but I cant apply it based on what Laptop is...

Has anyone heard of an i-mate k-jam going into flight mode by itself before? I have 3 users advising me this is a problem but I cant find anything on it?

Hi, I have about 100 XP machines that were cloned without sysprep. I know there are utilities to change a machines sid manually on an individual basis but is there an easy way to do all of these machines via script, group policy or another 3rd party utility? Thanks.
