MS - Excel
by Guest Dave- 9 replies

I have a small network, an SBS server running AD, and a file server running Windows 2003 server. Everything has been fine. I know have several users running Vista, and Vista Ultimate. Those now running Vista cannot access excel sheets located on the file server. The permissions are set as they were with XP. Some of the users even created the excel sheets and have full rights to the file and folder. They can open other various files, autocad, pdf's but not the excel files. Their office programs have been registered with MS. They are using Office 2007. -- Dave

question about DHCP and exclusion range and reservations
by Guest Dave- 5 replies
- 423 views
I am studying for my MCSE and I came across a practice question that is coming up with mixed results. Q: You set up a reservation for a file server of 192.168.1.105 You setup a DHCP scope for all servers of 192.168.1.100-192.168.1.120 You also configure an exclusion range of 192.168.1.103-192.168.1.106 The file server is not recieving its IP address. Is the problem the exclusion range which includes the 105 IP in the reservation? One source says yes, but another source says no, and something from Microsoft seems to indicate no (http://technet2.microsoft.com/windowsserver/en/library/ab8ae112-34c5-49b5-9795-155d89035f0d1033.mspx?mfr=true 3rd bullet p…

We implemented SMS2003 in our company and so far it's coming along. I created OS deployment CDs so that i would be able to install an OS from our main distribution point. I then wanted to create different distribution points on our division servers so that we can install new OSs on the division pcs. I tried creating a distribution point server other than the main one, and a distribution point thru server share. Everything i tried thru doing some research has not worked for me. I would get either a 1026, 1028, or 1037 error codes. It seems that it's trying to create/write to the new distribution point, but it can't. I checked rights access, u…

Multiple home folders for users
by Guest ruzar.lite@gmail.com- 6 replies
- 285 views
We have a Windows 2003 server Active Directory environment with remote users connecting via Citrix. Something we have noticed is that with some users and not all, is that there is a second home folder being created for some users. What should be normally, "\\server\homeshare\ %username%" we see some users with an additional folder, "\\server \homeshare\%username%.%domain%" Any ideas on what causes this and how to fix it? We see users are putting two sets of data into both folders and could cause problems in the event of the need to restore from backup and such.

When to move from Standard to Enterprise

We have a production database server which is probably at about 350 G now in terms of disk space used by data and log files, there are four databases on the server which is running SQL Server 2005 Standard edition SP2 with 16 G RAM. Performance is OK, it's not great obviously our clients want much better. I can go to the microsoft product page http://www.microsoft.com/sql/editions/enterprise/comparison.mspx for a comparison between Standard and Enterprise but because of the big difference in cost I need to be able to be sure going to Enterprise at this point is the right thing to do. Would anyone be able to give me any thoughts on if there are other load/…

Hello, I'd like to use Remote Desktop from and to the same machine. For this purpose I created a user who doesn't have administrator rights, and added its login to the list of users who can connect via Remote Desktop.

I have a Windows Server 2003 Standard install with 5 Widnows XP Pro SP2 clients. This server houses both regular file shares and our Small Business Accounting installation (on MSDE). After logging in everything will appear to work well for about 30 minutes to an hour. After that, the time to open a file or browse a folder on the server will take anywhere from 1 to 5 minutes and connectivity to the SBA server data is impossible - it will simply come up as "unable to locate server". This originally happened on one PC (an HP laptop) and was subseuently followed by the remaining computers over the course of a month. We use Symantec Antivirus Corporate Ed. 10 on t…
