    Email arrives hours later internally

    in Windows 2000/2003/NT4

    Posted

    Have you considered backing up the user's email to a .pst, and deleting and re-creating the user's mailbox?

    No just yet but i did realise this but not sure how to go about it. When the user sends an email it goes through the internet then backto the internal user. So Internal user sends the email to another internal user it goes external then comes back in to the internal user it was sent to.I know the email goes external because it comes up with a flag to say it has gone external then back in.

    Email arrives hours later internally

    in Windows 2000/2003/NT4

    Posted

    Is it arriving in the recipient's Outlook inbox later, or does it also not appear in OWA for the client until later? If it appears in OWA right away but not the client's Outlook application, it's a user email profile issue that can be cleaned up with a new mail profile.

    No it doesnt appear in OWA or client outlook for a few hours. I did delete the profile but same issue. It doesnt reach the server either as once the mail is sent its not listed under mesage tracking.

    thanks

    Office 2000 + Exchange 2003 automatic settings

    in Windows 2000/2003/NT4

    Posted

    I downloaded and installed Office 2000 resource kit on my PC (not running office 2000). I ran the Custom Installation Wizard to specify my Exchange settings (server name etc). I saved this file in the same folder as my Office 2000 installation.

    I ran setup.exe but it installed the default installation (without my settings). I then unistalled and ran

    setup.exe TRANSFORMS="C:\OFFICE\New Custom Setup File.MST" /qn+

    This came up with a message:

    Please go to control panel to install and configure system components.

    This is a new installation and im running with admin rights.

    My aim is to have general users who logon on to a new PC to automatically configure exchange settings for that particular user.

    What am i doing wrong?

    Thanks in advance

    WS2003 to Longhorn Server

    in Windows 2000/2003/NT4

    Posted

    We want to try and see if we can migrate from WS2003 to Longhorn server but need to ensure ws2003 is still running even if if LH went down so overall want the same users groups settings on ws2003 to LH - whats the best way or what can i read to do this?

    thank you in advance

    all functionalitly of 2003 is available in LH, if you wanted to ADD a LH server to your domain, you could make it a DC and replicate AD to it without issue

    ***NOTE***

    LH is still beta, please do not do this with your production environment!!!

    build a test environment and add LH server to see how they operate and react to your environment configurations.

    Thanks but how do i replicate everything in AD 2003 to LH? without doing all accounst and groups individually?

    thanks

    Installing ISA on Domain

    in Windows 2000/2003/NT4

    Posted · Edited by Dell and Rodney

    Are you asking which ports need to be opened in order to connect to the domain directly from the Internet?

    It would help if you could give a little bit more background as to exactly what you are wanting to accomplish. If you are wanting users to be able to connect remotely, using ISA as a VPN server is a much more secure way to allow domain login from the internet.

    Is this a single-server domain that you are wanting to enable remote access to or do you have a different goal in mind? I will try to give you a better answer once I know what your end goal is. Thanks,

    -Sean

    Sorry i wasnt too sure what you may have needed to know so ill explain:

    I have a DC on a machine.

    This machine has 2 NIC (Network Interface Cards)

    1 NIC is currently used for all traffic (incoming/ outgoing) as i dont know how i should use the second NIC.

    I want users of the domain to be able to logon - currently every user is blocked by ISA so im not sure what ports need opening.

    Once ive accomplished that, i want to be able to configure ISA (which i know how to)to specify which traffic is and isnt allowed including URLs allowed and disallowed to to the outside world (internet).

    No remote access from outside the network is required just yet.

    If this doesnt make sense please let me know.

    Thank you

    Installing ISA on Domain

    in Windows 2000/2003/NT4

    Posted

    I know its not recommended but for testing purposes could someone please advise:

    1. What ports i need open so clients can connect to the domain including any scripts we run?

    2. Disadvantages of installing ISA on a domain?

    Remember ISA needs to be installed on a Domain Controller.

    Thanks for your help in advance

    Setting up WIndows 2003 with DHCP/DNS

    in Windows 2000/2003/NT4

    Posted

    Guys

    This is my current setup (on a test network):

    1 router / WS 2003 with SP1

    The server is a domain controller.

    The router holds all local IPs and assigns them to individual workstations and the server i.e.

    192.168.1.1 - Default gateway

    192.168.1.100 - Server

    192.168.1.101 - Client 1

    192.168.1.102 - Client 2

    192.168.1.103 - Client 3

    etc etc

    Everything work pretty well in what i want to do. Now i want to move away from that configuration and use DHCP and DNS but not sure how to start this off or where to begin or even what the adavantages/ disadvantages are. Could anyone point me in the right direction please?

    Cheers

    Outlook 2003 Public folder shortcut

    in Windows 2000/2003/NT4

    Posted

    I have a link in Outlook 2003 for all Public Folders. Currently i have to go to each individual user and manually create a shortcut to one of the public folders sub folder or Task/ Contact list who have access to the public folders content - Is there a way to do this using a script of some sort or a registry trick? I noticed a Favourites folder too is there a way to get a shortcut there for all users?

    Cheers

    DNS and NTP issues after SP1

    in Windows 2000/2003/NT4

    Posted

    Well if your clients don't have your AD server DNS address in their TCP/IP properties, how do you expect them to log on onto domain? As far as I understood, your clients receive dynamic IP from the router that acts as DHCP and the DNS server they use is DNS built into your router ... so where your AD server IP comes in here?
    The clients (that do connect to the server) have static IP addresses again assigned by the router. The primary DNS is the servers DNS, so i think that has been done correctly.

    Ok when i wrote that i meant that all the clients that connect to the server have their primary DNS as the servers IP. Clients receive STATIC IP from router this is local or internal IP which is assigned by the router (192.168.1.5 etc)

    Thanks

    DNS and NTP issues after SP1

    in Windows 2000/2003/NT4

    Posted

    You haven't described the hardware in your server, specifically, whether it is multihomed (i.e. more than 1 NIC).
    1 NIC on the server however i can increase this to 2 if that would help.
    From what I've read it sounds like your network clients receive IPs through DHCP from your router device

    Yes they receive local IPs from the router

    but these DHCP clients use the router's IP address as the primary DNS server so they can get online when the domain controller is offline?
    Yes only for the PCs that dont require to login to the server
    Where does the IP address of the AD server fit into this? If you don't have the network clients set to use the IP address of the AD server as their primary DNS server, then you've seriously circumvented the Windows domain

    The server has its own static IP address assigned by the router. So the preferred DNS is the same IP address (pointing to it self) as the server.

    The clients (that do connect to the server) have static IP addresses again assigned by the router. The primary DNS is the servers DNS, so i think that has been done correctly.

    What you need to do is set the primary DNS server as the domain controller in the DHCP settings, then set up forwarders on the domain controller's DNS that point to yoiur ISP's DNS servers.
    Would i still need to do this after explaining the above? if yes coudl you explain a bit more in how i should set it up as i woudl imagine having the router giving DHCP addresses allows users to connect to the internet when the server is turned off (the same users that dont use the server)
    Advanced Settings... In the first box, make sure the active NIC (the one that communicates with the LAN) is listed first. If it's not, do it and then reboot.

    I checked that and i have Local Area Connection listed at the top both for server and clients.

    Also check that the primary DNS server that is manually configured on the server NIC is not the loopback address. You might hear conflicting reports about using loopback versus IP for the DNS address, but I always use the static IP and have never had problems

    I dont understand what i need to do here and how i should check if the server's NIC is not on the loopback address.

    Again these problems only occured after installing SP1 on the server. Thanks again for everyones help

    DNS and NTP issues after SP1

    in Windows 2000/2003/NT4

    Posted

    so basically your router acts as a DHCP server and assigns dynamic IP addresses to the clients ...

    I guess so but whether this helps or not if i try and ping another pc/ Client on the network i use ping 192.168.1***

    ......sorry i just noticed what i wrote on my previous post. It should have read:

    Dynamic IP (from ISP) = 123.234.34.45 (as an example)

    123.234.34.45 -->Router

    Router Assigns local/internal IP address to all pcs on network ->

    so

    Machine 1 = 192.168.1.5

    Machine 2 = 192.168.1.6

    Machine 3 = 192.168.1.7

    sorry for the confusion hope that makes sense
