This is causing me problems on two different server2003 sbs servers. after a while, no idea how long it takes but something like an hour or two, when you click on Start, the name at the top has gone from "John Doe [Widgets Incorporated]" to "johnd" where johnd is the user's logon name. At first logon, the John Doe [Widgets Incorporated] is displayed at the top of the start menu, but after a while, it has changed and the Outllok connection to the Exchange server is slow to the point of being unuseable. Log off and back on cures all of this for a while. I have not yet installed SP2 as I am trying to read through ALL of the many issues and work arounds fo…

Q: My internal domain name is set to mydomain.com (for example) however the my web page (located on an internet server outside of the intranet) is located on http://www.mydomain.com. I created a entry in the DNS to reroute queries to the correct IP however I have discovered that my staff's mail pop server is actuall mydomain.com. Given my internal domain is also mydomain.com if I creat a DNS entry to reroute queries of mydomain.com am I likely to have problems. Or is there a method that can do this safely with pop queries from Outlook email progs.

Hello, How to set up a time sync scheme so that there's one server (W2K3) in the LAN which obtains time from web and distributes it to clients (XP) and other servers (W2K3&W2K)? Thanks -Will

I am in the process of adding 3 new Windows 2003 servers to our network. 2 terminal servers and 1 Exchange 2003 server. We are on a Windows 2000 domain using Exchange 2000. I will be keeping the domain on Windows 2000 for now and upgrading Exchange to 2003. I have about 50 users. 32 of them will be using the terminal servers and everyone will be using exchange. The 32 users will be split up between the 2 terminal servers. So here is my understanding, please correct me if i'm wrong: I need 32 Terminal Server "per user" CALs. Now do I need 16 Windows 2003 "per user" CALs for EACH terminal server? Same thing with Exchange. I know I need 50 exchange CALs, but…

As you know the user can export all cookies from Internet Explorer into one singel file by the menu File->Import and Export... Now I want to compare such a cookie backup file (created in the past) with the cookies currently existing. Is there such a tool which can do that ? Alternatively a utilty would be fine for comparing two exported cookies archives. Tobias

I'm trying to remove several programs that I no longer use from my computer, but when I go to "add/remove" them all I see are a list of the programs that are currently installed with no option to remove them. I've checked a couple FAQ pages that talk about problems with adding and removing programs and the only thing that makes sense is that I have a bug in IE and need to uninstall/reinstall. I would kind of like to avoid doing this.. Anyone have suggestions, or know what is actually wrong with my computer? Thanks

Hi guys In my documents a folder has appeared where you get the admin, all users and my folder. It is showing as 0 bytes and 0 folders but it will not let me delete it, all I get is an error message saying can not delete access denied.

I'm not sure what just happened, but I am no longer able to run gpedit.msc on my Windows XP SP2 laptop. When I try to run it, I get a "You do not have permission to perform this operation. Access is denied." error. This happens with 2 different Administrative users. I even rebooted and that didn't help. The only thing unusual that I did tonight is that I added a Deny everything permission for the Users group to the C:\WINDOWS \system32\GroupPolicy\User folder. But I have removed that permission now, and I still get the error message. Any idea what's wrong?

I removed a hard drive recently. The remaining installed drive did boot previously but now doesn't. During booting, I see the Wxp blue screen but I don't see the words "windows is starting up" which always appears before the desktop appears. While watching the Wxp blue screen, it appears that Wxp is repeated trying to boot but then I hear a beep after each attempt. Your suggestions please.

Whenever I open up Word Pad I have it to where the ruler is showing so that it will know when to drop down to the next line when it reaches the end or I press Enter as it's set to 6 and a half inches (the little slider that you can move left or right on the bottom right side). For some reason or another when I start typing on it the little slider will automatically move itself all the way to the right or even if I cut and paste or copy and paste to the Word Pad it will do this as well. Can you please tell me how I can set it to where it won't do that and so that it will stay at the specified inch that I set it as well. The 2 sliders that you can see are th…

Is there a way to find out what specific permissions a user has on windows 2003? I have to local users that are in the administrators on a local machine. One can do more than the other. Is there a tool I can run to find out who is allowed to do what extra? This is very strange. I do not want to go in every piece of software and every folder to find out the differences

My PC was previousily hacked into successfully in my old apartment. I recently moved, bought a new computer (has Norton firewall) and now I have the same intruder on my system. How does one hunt someone down once they move residence, purchase a new PC, and have a new highspeed Internet account?

I have a Windows 2003 Server Enterprise Edition with Exchange 2003 SP2. I'm trying to upgrade to Windows 2003 Server SP2 with a CD that I ordered from Microsoft WindowsServer 2003 R2. During the upgrade I receive this error message "e:\54635a1ec33cc6449ef451899e\I386\update\update.inf file is not correct". What does this mean inf file is not correct and how do I correct it? I have upgraded several other servers with this CD and have had no problem. I did try to upgrade to SP2 on this server several months ago with the downloaded version but had a similar problem. Any suggestions.
