    - roaming profile problem I am having a problem with roaming profiles that I was hoping someone here could give me an answer to. I work at a small charter school with 200 students. We have an older Windows 2000 server and about 40 workstations (all with Windows XP Pro) We want to give each student their own login but we want them all to share a roaming profile. I created a default profile that I want to use. However, when I assign more than one login with the UNC path to that profile I get a security error and then it loads a local profile. I shared the folder and set the security rights to everyone and it still doesn't work. I also tried granting the folder with security rights to match the individual login and that doesn't work. I would greatly appreciate any help. Thank you. Tag: set user's domain Tag: 233682

    - Server with static routes and two NICS I have a Server that is connected by leased lines ( router SDSL) to other two server in brach offices. the first nic have the address 192.168.0.5 gateway 192.168.0.90, ihave 2 static routes pointing to route -p add IPREMOTESERVER1 mask 255.255.255.255 192.168.0.90 and route -p add IPREMOTESERVER2 mask 255.255.255.255 192.168.0.90. The adsl router to acces internet is the 192.168.0.254 So i need this server to use this gateway to connect to internet (so I can connect remotely for support tasks) I install a secoin NIC I configure un this the IP192.168.0.120 and gateway 192.168.0.254 but I cant connect to internet. This is the correct way to do it or I must to change something? THANKS Tag: set user's domain Tag: 233681

    - rdp printer redirection hello, we have a ricoh 2018d printer in our office - this is attached to the network as a stand-alone machine (ie not plugged into the server just into the hub - sorry if my terminology is not quite correct); we have a windows 2003 server running only TS (it is a workgroup computer); our other office has a windows 2000 server... our win2003 server recently had "issues" and the IT people we brought in re-formatted the drive and installed the operating system - setting up TS only. I added the Ricoh to each desktop and our 2003 server as a network printer so the port was like this \\rnp***\aficio2018d we started having problems right away so I re-installed the printer as a local printer with an IP port (is this the same thing as a dot4 port??) so in our office we can print with no problems from our desktops to the printer; we also rdp into the 2003 server (without printer redirection as I installed the printer on the 2003 server as well) and we can print with no problems. When we rdp into our other office (with printer redirection on the client side and it is allowed at the the 2000 server side as well) the printer is not redirected - BUT only for some of our desktops. I figured from what little i undersatnd that it may be because of the port being an IP address - but why would some desktops still work? I ensured that the 2000 server has the same driver that we are using. Anyway, I just tried setting up the printer as a network printer again on my desktop (ie with the \\rnp---\aficio port) and it is redirected !!- I don't want to have two printers set-up on each desktop if I don't have to and I especially don't want the \\rnp printer to start causing problems again - any suggestions or direction will be greatly appreciated!

    - How do I stop outgoing NETBIOS Traffic? I have a win2k domain controller running WINS, DNS. The domain only has a few machines as it is a development environment. A few days ago I noticed I had some problems getting any machine to establish any sort of outside connection (HTTP, FTP)...even directly to the linksys router. After investigatin further I noticed the domain controller was broadcasting a tremendous amount of data. If I disconnected the domain controller from the router I got outside connectivity back. I installed a packet sniffer a saw nearly 4 of these per second: netbios-ssn Source: 192.168.1.100 Destination: xxx.xxx.xxx.49 netbios-ssn Source: 192.168.1.100 Destination: xxx.xxx.xxx.50 netbios-ssn Source: 192.168.1.100 Destination: xxx.xxx.xxx.51 netbios-ssn Source: 192.168.1.100 Destination: xxx.xxx.xxx.52 ... The destination is continual and sequential. when I view via netstat -a: TCP MyMachineName:1944 0.0.216.100:netbios-ssn SYN_SENT TCP MyMachineName:1945 0.0.216.101:netbios-ssn SYN_SENT TCP MyMachineName:1946 0.0.216.102:netbios-ssn SYN_SENT TCP MyMachineName:1947 0.0.216.103:netbios-ssn SYN_SENT ... These requests start at 0.0.0.0 and continiue forever. The packets are hitting machines in Seattle, Minnesota, LA, etc...nothing to do with my internal domain. After doing some Googling I found that many reccomended disabling netbios over TCP which I did but still encountered the same activity. What is this? Is this virus activity or normal behaivior...if it's normal behavior I want to disable it because I can't even get to my own router with out disconnecting the "packet pushing" domain controller let alone other resources. Thanks in advance for any suggestions! Tag: set user's domain Tag: 233677

    - Best Print Server Hello all, I've been having problems where the print spooler service keeps crashing. I figured that I would put the printers on a dedicated print server device such as the one by D-Link. Unfortunately, it hasn't gone smoothly. I can't seem to make the thing "see" the second printer.

    - Local Area Network (LAN) Local Area Network (LAN) Both an EtherNet (wire) network and a wireless network are referred to as a Local Area Network (LAN). A wireless network does not require hubs, switchers, or routers to include additional users on the network. Additional wireless users are supported just by being in the immediate physical span of the network. http://www.askstar.com.cn/health/Installing-Wireless-Technologies.htm Tag: set user's domain Tag: 233672

    - First hop timeout problem Just upgraded from W2k to XP SP2 IE7 I was troubleshooting a problem with with the Windows time service not syncing with any public internet time server. Whenever I would try to update the time I would get a message telling me an error had occurred. I tried to determine if the server was active by pinging it and it responded OK indicating the the problem probably wasn't a dead server. However, further checking with Tracert indicated the the first hop timed out but all the other hops worked as expected. Turns out this happens on any tracert, not just the time servers. I'm far from being a network expert but this tells me that the reason the time update isn'tworking is because Windows Time isn't able to make connection because of the timeout problem. So, my real problem appears to be this timeout of the first hop...can anyone think of a reason this is happening. I am not experiencing any problems with browsing the internet, sending/receiving mail, or any other issues that I am aware of. Am I totally out in left field? I would be most appreciateve for any help getting this problem resolved. Tag: set user's domain Tag: 233666

    - sharing files with windows 98se PC I have AT&T DSL and a router connecting both PC's (windows 2000 sp2 and windows 98se) and both have good access to the internet at the same time. So far, so good. I want to share files on both PC's with each other, and I am lost trying to figure out how to do that. I viewed the following microsoft webpage: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/g258717/ but it is ahead of me - I don't have any way of seeing my windows 98se PC on my windows 2000 PC (or vice-verse). When I go to "network and dial-up connectons", under the TOOLS tab, I select "map network drive", but, under "entire network, and also "computers near me", I only see my own windows 2000 PC - my windows 98se PC does not appear. How do I tell windows 2000 that there is another PC (connected via the router), and that it has the same workgroup name ("HOME") as my windwos 2000 PC has and that it uses the same protocols. I don't see any button for "detect a locally connected PC" or something logical like that - how do you let win2k know about it so I can select which drive to map?

This happens when using the default share (C$) or an explicit share name assigned to a folder on the other Win2K system. Sharing back to the reinstalled version of Windows from the other machine still works just fine. Usernames and passwords on both systems are identical, and they are both set up on the same WORKGROUP.

    - Naming a Win PC workgroup on a LAN Hello, What is the correct way to name a Win PC workgroup on a LAN? Seems any non-spaced word is acceptable. Now, the network setup wizard provides options for a domain name "name.dns" (Business connection), if not chosen the only Net ID would be the workgroup name, presumably ok for peer to peer interactions in a home LAN. Now if the system is to be networked with UNIX machines, FreeBSD and others how should this be best handled? I have a system so set up, using just the workgroup name and using the same name on the UNIX machines, no DNS extensions. However, the system seems to have some instabilities, sometimes it works fine and other times it doesn't => with responses of "Mixedgroup is not accessible. The network name cannot be found." in a Windows Explorer Dialog Box. -- Adam -- Tag: set user's domain Tag: 233647

    - Weekly Hottest Computer Free tips (30-10-07) Weekly Hottest Computer tips Hello Dear, Computer Free Tips will give you practical advice, great tips, and few tricks every weekday. This newsletter is sent out every Tuesday and is designed for those who love to learn Computer in detail. These are the Hottest Computer Tips of the last week. 1- How to protect your computer with advanced backup and recovery? A backup is a duplicate copy of a file, program or disk that can be used if the original copy is lost, damaged, or destroyed. Thus, if you regularly take backups of your sensitive data or programs and update them as and when needed, system failures can be covered easily through these backups. http://www.computerfreetips.com/oct_computer_tips/27_ghost_backup.html 2- How is virus activated on your computers? There are different methods through viruses may be transferred from one computer to another. Now- a-days, most of the viruses spread due to receiving unknown e-mail messages that contains viruses. When a user opens such an infected message, the virus is also loaded into the computer memory. http://www.computerfreetips.com/oct_computer_tips/25_virus_activated.html 3- How to detect viruses in a computer using multiple antivirus engines? Virus detection and its removal are made through an antivirus program which finds out viruses in a computer and then possibly removes or repairs the virus problem. But today an interesting tip, how to scan your system without any installed antivirus program. http://www.computerfreetips.com/oct_computer_tips/23_detect_viruses.html 4- How to Enable Boot Logging to troubleshoot windows startup problem? You can troubleshoot many of computer startup problems using windows boot logging. When you start you computer with enable boot logging feature, a log file will be created to identify the drivers and services that is creating the problem during startup. http://www.computerfreetips.com/oct_computer_tips/21_boot_logging.html Thanks ComputerFreeTips.com Team Tag: set user's domain Tag: 233641

    - Access Denied Hi, We have 3 Win2000 Server SP4 on the network. 2 Members and 1 DC. I sometime have to fix my collegue computers and want to use resources on the network like shares folders and Internet access. Because the employes PC don't need to be part of the Domain, I connect to servers by typing the server name in the run box like \\servername. Then a logon windows shows up and requires a domain user name. I type in a username and can see and access all available shares on the server. This works fine on member servers but doesn't on the DC? I got the following : \\servername is not accessible....Rights...Please contact.... and then Access Denied. How can I make this work on the DC since I have to access share files? I don't understand why by provinding a username and a password, I manage to connect to member servers but this one won't even let me go further in the connecting process. This DC replaced a another one a while ago and on the olf one, I could access it that way! I took a look at DC and Domain Security policy and can't figured out if there is anything wrong. How can I fix this please? Thanks in advance. Steve Tag: set user's domain Tag: 233626

Our outside DNS server also holds our domain. Thanks a lot Tag: set user's domain Tag: 233622

    - windows 2k login prompt or how I screwed up. I mistakenly posted this in the microsoft.=ADpublic.=ADwin2000.=ADgeneral before I found this group, sorry about that. Hi, We only run workgroups on our network, we do not have a domain. The other day the boss asked me to change the network settings so that all computers would be on the same workgroup. At the end of the day I had one more computer to go, I was in a rush and accidently set it to a domain. Now when the computer boots up, the administrator login requires a password and a domain to connect to. I want to get this computer network settings back to using workgroups. How do I do this? I have tried safe boot but no luck. Your help is greatly appreciated. thanks Bradley Tag: set user's domain Tag: 233621

    - Proxy server I have a windows 2000 web server which works fine for the last 5 years. This server gives access to the internet for 10 windows xp workstations through a proxy server. The problem is that some applications do not work because they need direct access to the internet. I have tried several times to setup the NAT service but the result was awful and I had to setup the server from the beginning. Can someone help me to solve this problem?

    - Windows 2000 port filtering Hi Guys, We have a Windows 2000 IIS box that used to be hosted offsite but is now on our office connection. We have tried to enable RDP through its LAN interface (which was disabled, but we have now turned on) however it does not work. The LAN interface allows the IIS box to ping all our local machines by IP address, but telnet and all other types of RDP/Remote Control apps do not work. The IP filters and IPSEC stuff is all empty (not enabled) under the properties of TCP/IP for the network card, so I am wondering if this is possibly enabled through the registry. Also, there does not appear to be any software based firewalls and what not on the server so it will be nothing to do with 3rd party software. Thanks in advance. Tag: set user's domain Tag: 233611

    - Windows 2000 port filtering/blocking Hi, We have a web server that was previously hosted offsite, but is now on our office connection behind a seperate firewall. It has two nics, one of the WAN and one for the LAN, but the LAN nic was not connected to anything for security reasons. We now have connected the LAN nic temporarily to allow RDP access to the web server from our LAN, but this is not working. We can ping the LAN address of the web server, and the web server can ping our LAN, but for whatever reason, RDP wont work. We have removed and re-installed it, but no difference. I have also tried thrid party utilities for remote control of the system but these wont work either. It seems the web server only allows ping traffic to pass over the lan interface to our network (not even telnet works). The IP filtering and IPSEC settings for both network cards are empty, so I am wondering if there are any registry keys or similar that could be blocking this traffic? Thanks in advance for your help.

    - Cannot log in after Win XP upgrade Can someone please help, and explain in idiots language so that I fully understand the solution. At my place of work, I have dual boot system. Windows 98 SE on one, and Windows XP Pro on the other. My computer is connected to the network and both systems did connect, and I was able to log on to the network. I have upgraded the XP system with Service Pack 2. Now, I cannot log into the Network.

    - Event Viewer Anomoly I run the company and need to pay attention to technical matters. I examined the event viewer. What is have listed below are shorted version of the event. My impression is the event viewer should be relatively clean. I asked the Sys Admin to fix these issues. That was weeks ago. Am I overreacting? I'm thinking the network should be without blemish. We're using IP addresses to map over the Wan and I prefer FQDN. I told the Sys Admin it's only three servers and 25 computers -and it shouldn't be too esoteric to fix things. Anyway have a look at these persistent events and let me know if I'm too concerned. Event Type: Error Event Source: NETLOGON Event ID: 5775 Deregistration of the DNS record '_gc._tcp.Warehouse._sites.laeyeworks.com. 600 IN SRV 0 100 3268 LADC1.laeyeworks.com.' failed with the following error: DNS operation refused. Event Type: Error Event Source: NETLOGON Description: The File Replication Service is having trouble enabling replication from EYEWORKS-BDC to EYEWORKS-PDC2 for c:\winnt\sysvol\domain using the DNS name eyeworks-bdc.laeyeworks.com. FRS will keep retrying. Following are some of the reasons you would see this warning. [1] FRS can not correctly resolve the DNS name eyeworks- bdc.laeyeworks.com from this computer. [2] FRS is not running on eyeworks-bdc.laeyeworks.com. [3] The topology information in the Active Directory for this replica has not yet replicated to all the Domain Controllers. Event Source: DNS Event ID: 4004 Description: The DNS server was unable to complete directory service enumeration of zone .. This DNS server is configured to use information obtained from Active Directory for this zone and is unable to load the zone without it. Check that the Active Directory is functioning properly and repeat enumeration of the zone. The event data contains the error. Event Type: Error Event Source: NTDS KCC Event ID: 1311 Description: The Directory Service consistency checker has determined that either (a) there is not enough physical connectivity published via the Active Directory Sites and Services Manager to create a spanning tree connecting all the sites containing the Partition CN=Configuration,DC=laeyeworks,DC=com, or (b) replication cannot be performed with one or more critical servers in order for changes to propagate across all sites (most often due to the servers being unreachable). For (a), please use the Active Directory Sites and Services Manager to do one of the following: 1. Publish sufficient site connectivity information such that the system can infer a route by which this Partition can reach this site. This option is preferred. 2. Add an ntdsConnection object to a Domain Controller that contains the Partition CN=Configuration,DC=laeyeworks,DC=com in this site from a Domain Controller that contains the same Partition in another site. For (b), please see previous events logged by the NTDS KCC source that identify the servers that could not be contacted. These are the most glaring examples. It's just over the wire, a Wan, office to factory, a three mile distance. With such a tiny network I'd think our SysAdmin could easily correct these anomalies.

There are shared folders on the server for each user, which the user maps on the client login where he/she logs in. How can I map these individual shares as per the concerned login? Eg: Username: ABC Username: XYZ Shared on the server: D:\ABC D:\XYZ If ABC logs in on any computer, his profile should automatically map the server's \\ABC as his local X:\ and if XYZ logs in elsewhere, his profile should automatically map the server's \\XYZ as his local X:\ Thanks in advance Dev Tag: set user's domain Tag: 233556

    - Confusing WIndows 2003 RDP Issue I have a client at a remote site. They are part of a domain called domain "1" that is physically located somewhere else. They use a printer called "printer x". That printer is managed by "server3" in "domain 1". They connect to a server to use an application via rdp that sees this networked printer on their domain. The actual printer, however, is located in their office. When they connect to another domain's server for a client they do billing for they want to be able to use that printer as well. But the problem is: 1. that printer is not physically connected to their machine so it won't be seen as a client printer 2. the printer is networked and shared on another domain. My question is would it be possible to use that printer when they use RDP to connect to another server in a different domain? Keep in mind that on their local machine that printer does come up under printers as a network printer. Tag: set user's domain Tag: 233554
