Monitor Folder Server 2000.
by Guest Andrew Staley- 0 replies
- 226 views
We have a self built application which we use to administer our work related documents, which stores all information into a specific folder and sub folders as required. Of late we are having problems where a number of users are accessing the folder outside of this program and accidentally moving folders they shouldn't be (and then not owning up and leaving us to find out later). How can I monitor these folders and record who is moving them and where they move them to? I've tried using the audit tab but all this shows is what privileges are used by a user, assuming I have set them up right. Andrew.

Server 2003 installation options

Hello, I am preping for the 292 and 296 exams and going back to read through Manasi's bible. Been working with server and AD for awhile, but some of these options I have never done and its got me confused. Hope someone can help. 1. When performing an unattended install, you just run the Setupmgr.exe and answer the questions as an Unattended install. I have done this for Sysprep when ghosting clients. Then changed the answer file to "winnt.sif" and copy it to a floppy. Put the Cd and floppy into the server and then hit space bar when prompted to boot from CD. Sound correct? 2. When slipstreaming SP2 into a distribution share install the boo…

Disable Rendering of Windows Explorer Icons?
by Guest philaphan80@yahoo.com- 11 replies
- 370 views
Does anyone know of a way to disable the rendering of custom icons within Windows Explorer? I'm talking about the step that occurs *after* Windows Explorer builds its list of files and places those little generic placeholder icons resembling documents with a Windows flag. I'm currently working within folders that contain literally thousands upon thousands of documents. Our network is fast enough to build the list almost instantaneously, but the custom icon rendering takes over and freezes the Explorer window until the entire page's icons are displayed. For example, the generic Windows flag document icons are replaced with Internet Explorer icons when HTML …

Cloning OS drive to newer, larger drive without hidden Dell Restore Partition
by Guest xsrossiter- 16 replies
- 474 views
Hi, I have a Dell Dimension 8300 that I bought with 2 x 200 GB drives and currently am running XP SP2. After first upgrading the data drive to a 500 GB Seagate I would now like to do the same for the OS drive. My question is, Seagate provides DiscWizard software designed by Acronis, that will clone the original OS disc to the new drive, but will the hidden Restore Partition from the original disc pose some sort of problem in the cloning process? I would rather do without the restore information unless it will produce spurious system errors for loss of the information that was maintained in the hidden partition. If this will be the case then I would rather r…

I want to add 'listening-port' as an 'active connection' 1 2
by Guest Jethro- 27 replies

You readers probably are saying, Oh No - here he is again - and here I am! This is another try to make my Remote Desktop Connection work. In the 'active connections' result from command 'netstat -a', I see a line on my so-called RIGHT machine as: Proto Local Address Foreign Address State TCP RIGHT:3389 RIGHT:0 LISTENING and, as I have said in the past, I can connect from my LEFT machine to the RIGHT machine just fine. So, indeed, RIGHT machine is listening. But, as I also have said, I cannot connect from my RIGHT machine to my LEFT machine. I don't have the above 'listening' line in the 'NETSTAT -…

Free avg spyware.
by Guest Greg Rozelle- 11 replies
- 971 views
I am a little confused. Didn't they make a free avg spyware program for windows 98? I look at their system requirement. It did not say windows 2000/NT or Xp. It just gave the very minimum requirements and did not list the operating system. What did they stop support for windows 98 spyware? (I do not like XP or Vista) I also notice http://www.download.com/AVG-Anti-Spyware/3000-8022_4-10610898.html That on this page it list 98. So for it to work, you must use the paid version. Am I correct? I just hope a don't have to go back using f-prot for dos for my virus protection. That would suck. Greg Rozelle

Roaming profiles not working on laptops
by Guest PMons- 3 replies
- 199 views
I have a strange problem. We have a few laptops that are hardwired to our network (they never leave the office). We are running in a Windows 2003 AD domain, and the users that use these laptops use roaming profiles. The problem is that the users may work from a desktop PC and update a file on their Windows desktop, then log out. When they move to a different part of our office to log in from the laptop, the changes to the file(s) that were previously saved and updated on the server profile, has not been copied back down to the local profile on the laptop. Neither will any changes made on the laptop be copied back up to the server when they log out. This be…

I am utilizing windows XP with SP2 pack and whenever I type in any program whether in notepad, wordpad or office word, after a few words to around 5-7 words the blinking cursor jump to some abnormal location (often a few words behind the recently typed words and begins its exection causing an abnormal jumbling of words). There is an utter chaos to read a paragraph. Moreover typiThng is very slow correcting the cursor to the normal position (ie) to the right of the last word. This is becoming very annoying and tends to be a nuisance. Any suggestion to the correction of this blemish is welcomed and appreciated.
