    Considering ESX Ranger Backups

    I'm trying to figure out if ESX Ranger snapshots are similar to SAN snapshots. The price, at about $600 per CPU is definitely attractive. Is the Ranger backup similar to a SAN, where you get an exact point in time, or is it like a file system backup, where by the time you reach the end of the...

    Constant Working Offline errors (we are really online!)

    I've deployed about 40 WinXP computers. They are members of a Win2000 AD domain with a single DC, and I used folder redirection to point "My Documents" to a share on the network. Often, (sometimes every 5 minutes) WinXP pops up a bubble in the system tray with this error: Offline...

    Users logon before STARTUP script finishes

    Is there any way to force the clients to completely finish processing of all logon scripts before the CTRL-ALT-DEL login prompt appears? I have a complicated startup script that makes changes to the user profiles. (For example, one startup script deletes any profiles that contains over 5...

    IFMEMBER.EXE doesn't show computer groups

    Simple version: Is there a utility similar to IFMEMBER to check a computer's membership in a group? IFMEMBER only checks the user's memberships. Complex version: IFMEMBER.EXE is a MS tool for checking if a user is a member of a security group. Lots of admins use IFMEMBER in logon scripts to...

I have seen many people talk about the 16gb...

    MsgStore Locked during disk mirror?

    Exchange5.5 appears to lock out all access to the message store if the NT4 hard disk mirror sync is in progress. Can anyone confirm this? If this is true as it appears, is the store locked during ANY mirror process on any disk, or only on mirrored disks which hold message stores...

    Issues when ADMIN has limited rights?

    I have seen many people discussing how to delegate rights to sub-admins and such. However, our chief admin has chosen to limit *THE* admin account's rights. He has removed write rights to the root of the tree, and now uses his user object (a trustee of the tree) to do everything. Is this...
