Hi! Can somebody advice free software on disk to disk back up with the option to back up to an external drive ? I found Paragon Drive Backup 9.0 Express (http://www.paragon-software.com/home/db-express/), it might be one to test, but I'm guessing it doesn't have much in the way of features... is here anyone who tried this software? Thank you!

How can I remove a started setup/installation of Windows Server 2003and restore the old operating system? Hello, Because on my server with Windows Server 2003 I had an error message "ntldr not found" I started it with the setup-CD. Actually I wanted to try to repair it. However, after initiating the setup it took quite long so in between I went to my work place. When I came back it was way down the installation procedure in the GUI part already but finally it couldn't find some files and stopped. Unfortunately now it always runs into the setup which does not work, I have no choice to boot in the old windows Server 2003 operating system. I tried F8 and chose …

In a home setting with 5 computers running winxp would there be any need to run a server environment ? Can user rights, priviledges, and dhcp be accomplished with security settings within winxp and a router? Would I be sacrificing anything doing this within a workgroup or would it be better to setup a domain in a server setting?

DCPROMO

This morning to promo'd out what I believed to be a NT BDC promoted to PDC, then upgraded to Win2000. The demotion I guess went ok, users can log in, no calls etc . . But when I look at our AD-DNS, the old DC is still listed as a name server. When I look at ADSites and Services, he's still listed in my site, but there is no NTDS listed. If I look at Computer Mangement\Sessions there are a handful of users connected, but no open files. And what's the deal in Sites and Services when links aren't automatically created? I forget. But I have a handful of links that were manually created... So - should I wait for my four sites to replicate for that…

VPN Error 619
by Guest Frederik- 1 reply
- 253 views
Hi, We need to connect with windows VPN to an external office but receive error 619: I thought the traffic was blocked by our netscreen firewall, but all outbound traffic is allowed. I opened also several incoming and outgoing ports (GRE, PPTP, L2TP, 1723) but that didn't solved the problem. The vpn connection is working perfect at home so something blocks the traffic. On the clients the windows firewall is desactivated. Can someone help? Thank you. Frederik

Hi, I am looking for a method to restart a remote server as soon as the server is not accessible via port 3389 during a specific amount of time. How can I check right from the remote server: "is my port 3389 still reachable or not?". Or are there different, even more common tasks to get the same effect? Thanks for your input. Patrick

Hi, I have been using Windows Server for storing Macintosh's files for years. Some day the Server 2000 failed, I installed Windows server 2000 on the another machine. and then restored the files. But I found that the InDesign with the linked graphic eps files has been broken, I have to re-link again, pretty annoying. Even I installed the Windows server 2003 with the same ip address, the same Server Name, the same shared paths as previous server, and then isolate that Server machine from the domain network by another network swith, and then restored the files. When I open the InDesign files, it prompt me to re-link the attached eps graphic files, but …
