    domain profile offline on laptop, password expirations

    I am about to setup 12 new laptops on our 2k3 domain. I know I can use the domain login for each user on their laptop, and that xp will cache it so they can logon when they are not on the network, but my question is this. How does xp handle the cached login if the domain has a password...

    cannot log into server via rdp/terminal services or console

    Mistakenly, I setup our exchange server with rdp in terminal server mode, not remote desktop administration mode, so it locked us out after 120 days or so. The problem is now, that I can not log in at the console, as the monitor/keyboard/mouse were unplugged from the kvm switch, and will not...

    locked out of terminal services and the console

    We setup a new windows 2003 server several months ago, and the terminal services grace period has expired. I must have been logged into term services while it happened. Anyway, it was in remote admin mode, not licensing mode, or so i thought. I can no longer log into the server, and even...

    DNS 2K3, initial page load, especially yahoo

    This annoying, yet elusive problem has been growing on us lately. 2 relatively new 2k3 dns servers in a 2k3 AD. When some users first open their browser, the page loads VERY slowly, but only for some users. Yahoo is the #1 culprit...anyone with that home page set, it may take 10 seconds or...

    Have been using OWA 2000 for years with no problems. Just migrated to a new exch 2k3 server. Using OWA internally...http://servername/exchange works fine, and if not logged into domain internally, it will give you the logon popup, and it functions fine. Now, I have proper ports open on the...

    hardware for new exchange 2003 server

    upgrade to AD 2003 and exchange 2000

    I am aware of the ad issue if you try to upgrade ad2000 to ad2003 and you have exch 2000 running, that it mangles 3 non rfc complient attributues. In MS q325379, they state that this WILL NOT be the case if you have applied Exchange 2000 SP3 to your exch 2000 server. Can anyone confirm this?

    exchange link to ad, gc

    What dependency does exchange have on a specific AD server. When I take down this one AD server, exchange basically dies. Is it b/c of gc, fsmo role, or something else.

    fresh install of 2003 using same computer name

    We are going to embark on the 2K3 upgrade of our servers. I know there are specific steps for domain controllers, but for member servers, can anyone see any downside to doing a fresh install of 2k3 but still using the same name as that 2000 server had?

    forwarded emails come up blank

    seems some of my users, when they get forwards, they come in as blank. I thought it had to do with html format emails, but not so sure now. I actually had him forward one to me, it was blank for me, but I forwarded it off our network to my friend's exch server, and she could read it. any ideas?
