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...

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...

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...

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...

we have discovered what I assume is a by product of a GPO policy change. We recently added a GPO setting to setup specific site to zone mappings. Today we appear to have discovered an unintended consequence or a coincidence... I havent decided yet. Since we made the change to the zone...

I have an application (dell IT Assistant) that requires client machines to set specific runtime parameters in the java control panel (-Xmx256M). you can type in the settings in the appropriate fields and all is well. but when you click save it does not. It simply closes the window, and when...

As most here, we are a midsized company (600 users)with a limited budget. For the past 8-10 years, we have been growing as we run our mail on cobalt Raq servers. When we upgraded our Raq4 5 years ago, we found out the hard way that the Raq550 interface for the mailing lists is a nightmare to...

I am investigating adding WIFI connection info to my enterprise GPO and was curious as to the exact behavior. If I push SSID/authentication info via GPO to my workstations, does that override the entire list of networks and prevent them from connecting to other networks, or does it just add it...

we are attempting to setup routers with modems for remote troubleshooting when a T1 fails. I see in the docs cisco tells you to use a rolled satin cable (CAB-500rj) and a modem adapter (cab-25-as-mmod). can you substitute the RJ45 to DB9 blue console cable (72-3383-01) and a db25M to DB9M...

I am trying to make variants of one of my shapes, but its not quite working properly with the Legend shape. For instance, on some shapes I copied and modified, the copied shape shows in the legend as the original shape. An example of this is I started with my shape named "3BO". I copied the...

we have a novice user that was attempting to create a new signature in Outlook 2003, and somehow changed how outlook formats INBOUND messages. Of course he has no idea how it was done or how to reverse it. For example, When the user receives an HTML formatted email (black text on white), the...

I am starting to educate some of my trainer end users on how to use the expert initiated remote assistance (offer remote assistance). That way they can save tranport costs and remotely assist their users with software issues. (And we dont have to grant them unrestricted "silent" VNC based...

I have a collection of HDDs here, and I am trying to quickly figure out what PCs these came out of. Once I know the name of the PC (thanks to carefully crafted hostnames) I will know what I am working with (and whether its worth saving) They are all out of single drive systems, so they will all...

We have a handful of users spread across our enterprise that suddenly cannot print to ANY of our HP Laserjets of various models anywhere in our WAN. Whether they attempt to print a test print to the print server's IP directly or printing through the print queue on the server, they receive the...

Ok, I would LOVE to hear the official line from Microsoft, but I guess I'll settle for you guys. :) Anyone know why after 16 years and (6 major versions), windows STILL cant tell that a drive has been mapped so that it doesnt re-use a drive letter for things like card readers? Have I been...
