In one of our domains we run WINS to support Windows 98 machines. Recently, WINS stopped working and I have come to the end of my rope trying to figure out why. What I am seeing is: In System Event Viewer - Event ID: 4102 The connection aborted by the remote WINS. Remote WINS may not be configured to replicate with the server. (Getting this message on the forest level DC and on each local DC) Replication on each DC setup to push/pull per Microsoft standard instructions. WINs console, at Forest level, shows all DCs in lower domains. Each has a green arrow to the left of their name. dcdiag states - failed test systemlog Event ID: 0x40011006 RPC (call) se…

Hello In Windows 2003 Server users can also be put into one or more groups. By putting users into these groups the users may inherit permissions and privileges that were not granted to them directly. If asked to administer user accounts to an existing Windows 2003 Server installation how would one track down all of the groups that a user account belongs to and how would one know what all the permissions and privileges are that the user inherited and were assigned directly? -- JB

I am quite surprised Microsoft hasn't come up with a reliable piece of software to power off workstations at night. I have tried using both shutdown.exe (no ability to cancel) and beyond2exec (errors out on the server) with no real luck. I am looking for a reliable but inexpensive way to shut computers off at night that gives some type of logging. I have 300 computers and need to make sure they are shutting down without check each and everyone's event viewer. I see lots of batch file type utilities but they seem to rely on Scheduled Tasks to run. If Scheduled Tasks was reliable it would be fine, but unfortunately it isn't. I don't care if there …

RRAS Dial-up and Internet access

Hello, When connected to the internal network, our users receive a proxy server configuration for internet browsing through our ISA/Surfcontrol server. Works great. When they dial-in (yes, we still have some dial-in users!), they get an IP address and can access our servers with no problem... BUT, they can also directly access the internet without routing through our ISA/Surfcontrol server. How do I force their Web browser traffic through our ISA server? I created a static route 0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0 -> ISA Server IP Address... but that didn't work either? troy
