Dear all May I know is there any free software inventory software with features below? 1. Free 2. No installation required, simply run 3. Collect installed software on all WinXP on the network automatically Thanks! Regards Christine

Any one knows why in Windows Server 2003's File Server Management Console, some "Open File"'s "Open Mode" is "Read+Write" but "# Locks" can be 0? If It is Open as "Read+Write", at least 1 x lock exists... Some of my users complaint some of their Excel files on network drive can be open by others directly (without prompt for "Read Only") while He/She opened that file already. And those excel files are not set as "Share Workbook"...

May I know is there any tools for NTFS permissions reporting? Said it can tell us how many permission sets exist under a folder (includes subfolders and files), and what subfolders/files are under each permission set...etc. Thanks a lot!

Sure IP address for the switch on VLAN 104 is under 192.168.102.0/24?

Create a folder in Windows Explorer involved Create Folder and Rename Folder (Windows will create a folder and default it's name to "New Folder", then we rename it) Create a folder in Excel's Open Dialog Box involved Create Folder only (Excel will pop-up a Dialog for you to input the intended name of the new folder, then Windows create it) Can create a folder in Windows Explorer follows the way in Office program? It is because our network drive not allow Everyone Delete Folder permission, whenever anyone create a folder via Windows Explorer, the folder name will defaulted to "New Folder" and they are not able to rename it to the name they want (Rename Folder seems like requires Delete Folder permission), if they create a folder via Excel's Open Dialog Box, it will 100% fine. I can't allow Delete/Rename Folder permission but need to allow create folder with user's intended folder name, what do you think? Thanks!

OIC, Thanks a lot!

May I know can GP apply to a Security Group instead of every single users? So just move Security Group between OU instead of individual users one-by-one.

But it's really annoying/time consuming to using custom username for seems just like for please the users as they can have a personalized username What need to do when there is staff changes 1. Migrate My Documents, Desktop from said username mary to john (As you knows users always save (sometimes critical stuff as well) stuff to these places even you instructed them not to do so already), depends on size, it may takes much times 2. Migrate Outlook pst/n2k file, most likely need to using Outlook's import/export to do the import otherwise may be problematic, it takes much times as well coz normally our users got talking about (n)GB of pst file 3. Shared printers connection....(But actually it can be solved by GPO if I got it setup already...but not yet...) HATE THESE KIND OF REPEATING JOB, OUR STAFF TURNOVER IS TOO HIGH...........................................................!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Generic "username" may not good, but if using personalized "username", e.g. Mary, John etc., whenever staff change, need to migrate all data from old staff profile to new staff, it's time consumsing especially if there are a lot of applications installed on that PC, as you know, many app support multi users, then, need to resetup those app as well...what do you think?

Sorry...won't happens again...

Yes, can't restrict by Computers, finally, I used Group Policy to block exe files by Computers. Thanks!

May I know is it possible to show domain user's "Display Name" instead of "User Logon Name" as owner in print queue? Our company's domain using generic "User Logon Name", i.e. 001, 002, 003 and so on, each "User Logon Name" will have personalized "Display Name", e.g. Mary, John etc., but a problem is when a print job printed by a user is hold in the print queue of a network printer, other users won't know who is it (the owner of the print job may shown as 001, 002 etc.) and so not able to ask that user to remove the print job. Any ideas? Thanks a lot!

I tried to set Permissions on a folder by Computer Objects, i.e. Allows everyone to access that folder but denied some Computer from accessing that folder no matter who logined that computer. But the permission by computer entry never take effect when I test it. Anyone knows why? Thanks a lot!
