Unable to create basic domain trust between two Windows 2003 domains - logon servers not available ? Hi. I am currently trying to create a basic one way non-transitive trust between two Windows 2003 domains. We will be merging the domains of two companies in the future but for the time being need to give one domain access to resources in another. Both domains are standalone within their own forest i.e. domain1.net is the only domain in the domain1.net forest and domain2.net is the same. Both domain1 and domain2 have Windows Server 2003 domain and forest functional levels. So far I have created Stub zones on the DNS servers in each domain i.e. domai…

I noticed that I have a large number of files with corrupted names on one of our servers. Most of them have dots underneath some letters in file names. If the dot is below the last letter I can just put the prompt at the end of the file name and hit backspace once which removes the dot but not the last letter fixing the file name in this way. Any idea what might have caused that problem? We have a mixed Windows MacOS environment so I also wandering whether that's not the source of the problem. Thanks for any help. yAro

Hello, Can someone share the steps to add a dll to the GAC on Windows 2003 Server sp2? I am new to this, so am not aware of how to do this. Any help would be appreciated.

Hello: I currently have the Technet eval of Windows Server 2008 Enterprise installed and Hyper-V is configured. I just purchased a license for Standard Edition to use on this hardware going-forward. Is it possible to do an in-place downgrade from Enterprise to Standard? If so, how could I accomplish this task without losing my Hyper-V configuration? Thanks!

'95 'group included as I use the '95 shell, via 98lite "Sleek" option. I recently had a play with soporific's UBCD, a. k. a. "Windows 98, 10th anniversary edition". I think a vast amount of work has gone into it, and when installed from scratch as I did on a laptop for a friend, it worked well (including the universal USB driver). However, as with many such things, trying to install over an existing system (even though it does include an option to do so) is more problematical. Anyway: I've finally got my original system back, due to use of some ERDs from before I tried it, with one exception (that I know so far, anyway): it initially manifested as t…

With apologies for the repost - one positive outcome of the first one was that I discovered that what I thought was a valid cut-and-paste wasn't: for some reason the two surviving newsgroups have slightly different punctuations in their name. (Positive suggestions only, please - the details of my problem have been lost in the heat on the other thread, and please post to that one if your only contribution is to say I'm in the wrong place!)

Hi I am going to have a newer pc with Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 cpu. I don't know if this is ia-32, ia-64 or intel 64? Thank you. Mike

I recently checked the Event Viewer for System in my computer and discovered that nothing has been logged there since 8/28/2004. Does that mean I've had no errors or anything to be logged or does it mean that somehow the logging has gotten turned off? I do show current log information for Antivirus and Application, but wonder why System stopped in August 2004? Any info greatly appreciated. Patty

hello, i have just re-installed windows becouse of a virus. Now it is asking for a new code becouse the limit is reached. It says ring up for a new code, Is this going to cost me or do they just give me a new code.

I made the fatal flaw of building a system with a PATA hard drive instead of a SATA hard drive. After living with it for 6 months I decided enough was enough and I went out and bought 2 SATA hard drives for a RAID0 configuration. I don't wanna spend another 100+ dollars on a new CD key nor do I want to wait for my Student MSDN liscense to renew in October to get another (basically free) copy of Windows. Is there a way I can reinstall windows using the same CD key I used before? I hear if I activate over the phone it is easier to do since I talk to an actual person. Can anyone give me some guidance in this? Is it possible to do? Thanks, -Ian

Instead, it gives me this message: "We apologize for the inconvenience, but Windows did not start successfully. A recent hardware or software change might have caused this..." Does anyone know what this is and what I can do? My family thinks it's a virus but I'm not quite sure about that.

Hi, is there a way to start processes on reboot without logging in? Thx.

Hi, I have a server that a bunch of people access. They have read access to a folder. I have another server that a small group accesses and stores image files on. I have a batch file that uses xcopy to copy the files up to the first server once a week. My question is: is there a switch so that xcopy only copies the files that have changed? or does it do this by default? Thanks. Kevin

Running XP standard and the printer is a Canon PC1200/iC D700. Printer works well most of the time, but after the computer has been running for awhile it won't print unless I reboot. Canon says there is no problem with their driver and it has not been updated. Any ideas? Thanks. retro

Hello, I have an XP Pro PC that comes up with an UNMOUNTABLE_BOOT_VOLUME error every time I try to start it up. Same in safe mode. I read the Microsoft instructions on this, and tried to run a chkdsk /r - but after 34%, got the UNMOUNTABLE_BOOT_VOLUME error again. Is there anything else anyone can suggest I try before ordering a new UDMA cable? Thanks! Amber
