Can't save spreadsheets... file in use
by Guest cmatera- 3 replies
- 209 views
We have a 2003 Server in a LAN environment. Some of our users are trying to save changes to a spreadsheet using Office 2003SP3. When the user tries to save the changes, the error msg from excel is "can't save - file in use." Copying the folder down to the local machine and copying it back up seems to work. However, simply working from the server does not work. Drives are mapped to letters i.e.: G:\ = \\servername\group\directory and the permissions are setup correctly, in fact this hasn't been an issue until last week. Running Process Explorer from sysinternals on the server doesn't show any locks or handles on the file. Disabling our A/V scanner do…

Change WS2008 logon screen to 2003/XP style?
by Guest IT Guy- 1 reply

I absolutely *hate* the WS2008 logon screen for domain joined servers. It takes several clicks to logon, plus the available domains are not listed. I can't see how anyone in their right mind thought the change could be good. How can I revert the logon screen back to the 2003/XP style with the drop-down for the domains?

For default domain group policy, it showed the policy "Password must meet complexity requirements" was not defined. For default domain controller group policy, it said something like 'The policy engine did not attempt to configure…

Hello, we are using der remoteinstallationservices since a while without problem for deploying WinXP Clients. The is customized for naming schema Client-%02#.

I need assistance with Share and Security permissions. Is sharing folder a two step process? I shared a folder (ex. DOC) - I have 4 sub-folders under DOC. Some users need permissions for two of sub-folders and some for all 4 sub-folders. What are my steps? 1. Shared the main folder DOC -- what permissions are given - Full Control, Change and Read or just give them Read? 2. Share the main folder of DOC - and give everyone the Read permission of DOC and go to each sub-folder and use the Security to set the sub-folders' permissions. Please HELP. All assistance is helpful. Thanks,

Problem with clients getting disconnected from mapped drives
by Guest Lasse- 1 reply
- 166 views
Hi We are experiencing problems with some of our clients losing their connection to our mapped drives. We use offline files and what happens is that suddenly the Offline file notification pops up with a message telling the user that they are working offline. The connection to our Exchange server is still running and the user can use the internet as well. If the users just right-click on the Offline notification and select synchronize they get connected to the mapped drives again. This is a problem that occurs around once a week, we have around 40 clients and about 10-12 of them experience the problem. They are connected to different network hardware …
