The error was the same as in vista as shown in the picture and no, the policies weren't changed at all.

Thanks, Not only did it show on vista also on XP clients.

I have a Windows 2003 R2 server and vista and XP clients in a domain. I have a GPO for deploying the printers on the clients everything was working great till suddenly all the clients on the domain get this error when trying to print: What could the problem be? Thanks

okay, thanks i'll be waiting

Thanks fizban2, that helped a lot but i couldn't find any GP for defragmentation, is there one or is there some kind of script to use??

okay, thanks... but does the local admin on the vista client have to be logged on for the defragmentation tool to work? About the vista gpo's, how do i set up the ADMX files on Windows 2003 server could you please point me in the right direction? I mean is there away i can see and use vista's Administrative templates from Windows server 2003??? Thanks

Is there a GPO or script for Schedualing Disk Defragmentation for vista clients from Windows 2003 server?

Does anyone know of a way to turn on Remote Desktop on all the domain computers... like a group policy or something???

okay, thanks DysfunktinaL it worked fine, but how do i do that to all the computers on our network? Is there some kind of group policy or something else that might do it?

I tried that but when i try to connect from the server i get the following error message : The client could not establish a connection with the remote computer. The most likely causes for this error are: 1)Remote connections might not be enabled at the remote computer. 2)The maximum number of connections was exceeded at the remote computer. 3) A network error occurred while establishing the connection. I tried to connect from a vista machine and i was successful!? Also if i have to enable remote desktop on all the clients is there away to enable them through GP or something like that?

Mostly things are working out fine though i have a question about the print server is there away to replicate that onto the second domain controller or do i have to reinstall the printers onto it?

I want to be able to connect remotely to our vista workstations from windows server 2003 via Remote Desktop. The workstations do not have remote desktop enabled. What's the correct way to do this?

Thanks, thats what i was looking for.

Thats what i did but it won't work unless the first server is working i want something to replace the first server momentarily till it's back up. Do i need to make the second domain controller a DNS server and print server as well???

I have a server running as a domain controller and DNS, DHCP, Printer, File servers as well... Now i want to add a second domain controller to the same domain .. How do i do that so that if my first domain controller goes down it can take it's place till it's back up again?

The dell computers we have are without an OS, we bought the OS separately and i made an image and installed from it. I have installed Kaspersky Antivirus workstation 6 on them.

I can't disable it i went to windows help and it said that you can't disable it if you are on a domain it automatically chooses the best option ????

Any ideas on how to stop network discovery?

Yes thats right we have Windows server 2003 R2 and it only happens the first time, yeah i think on most of the workstations network discovery is on, should turning it off stop this? And how please? thanks

We have 34 Dell optiplex computers with Windows Vista Ultimate on a domain. The problem is when using windows explorer to browse something for the first time for example a cd or dvd, a folder on the network...etc it takes a long time to open, there's a green bar at the top that has to go all the way to the end till i'm able to browse. i have other computers with Vista that aren't on a network and they don't give me the same problem, i'm able to browse while the bar is moving. Thanks.

i think the problem is with the dvd device the device is Philips DVD8801 HH 16x DVD+/-RW. I put a another device a samsung and everything worked fine. how do i fix this? is there some kind of driver, i downloaded the driver from dell's site but nothing new??????

I've tried Office 2007 and Delphi 6, the computer is a Dell Optiplex GX620, everything works fine on a 745 could there be something with Vista the GX620? it reads the cd's but it won't setup thats for cds with autorun. put a data cd/dvd it reads it but it won't open if i go to my computer and double click it i have to right click and hit open and i can setup any program from that kind of cd\dvd.

I downloaded Windows Vista Ultimate to try it. I installed it without a serial number just to try. It's under the 30 day trial, not cracked. My problem is that it won't install anything from a CD i insert the cd and run setup and nothing happens everything else seems to be working fine. I noticed that some tasks in task manager are duplicated many times, does that have anything to do with this??? Thanks

We have a Windows server with Vista Workstations on we have installed some programs on the workstations via local admin the problem is that some of the programs wont work from the domain account they only work from an admin account how do we fix this?

We have a network with windows 2003 server and Windows Vista Business and Ultimate as Workstations after adding the workstations to the domain file sharing was disabled. My question is what is the best solution for file sharing for this network, so that the users can easily share things? Thanks
