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

- 412 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…

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…
