Guys Ive installed Exchange server 2003 successfully and not sure what to do next in terms of configuring it - can anyone advise? i know the steps after that though any links to help are appreciated thx

Can anyone explain in basic terms and possibly with some example: 1. What is a Primary Forward lookup zone 2. Why is it used (pref with an example please) 3. When is it used? and all 3 questions again with Reverse lookup zone thx

thx - i tried that but it doesnt seem to work either - any other way or am i stuck here? thx again

yes your absolutely correct - i checked with my ISP and they confirmed too. Is there any way around this proxy? as it seems if someone else is downloading then i cant

yes.............................. B) but same issue with our corporate FTP and download sites

1. No im behind a router (but i know no one else is online when i try this as there PC is off) 2. No - well Easynet is the parent company i belive for my ISP (which is UKonline)

Thanks ill try that today....... Ive never used this utility before but i guess its from http://www.nod32.com.au/nod32/home/home.htm and i couldnt find any information on Outpost - could you provide a link please??

its not logging in any incoming connections (or at least i think anyway). I have zone alarm pro set up. Ive read those links before but should i be contacting them? and whats RIPE got to do with this and easynet???? thx

Guys I usually go onto my websites and download a few files, but lately everytime i go i get an error message saying im already downloading (when im not). So i usually restart the computer/router to get another IP address and still says im downloading something. After tracking down the IP address i found its to do with 212.134.155.211. I searched who it is and links me to http://www.ripe.net/db/news/abuse-proposal-20050331.html - but none of it makes sense and i cant do anything about it. Anyone know what i can or why this is happening? thx

There service was pathetic today all i wanted was to have my LCD screen replaced and this guy is asking me to clean the LCD to see if resolves or even reformat incase my graphics card could be playing up

Ok i gave it a go over this week and a bit to see if i could resolve this darn issue and still no luck. Is there something you can direct me to read on about knowing what ports i need open? I tried a few tools but none of them worked. Any help in identifying what ports i need open or a program to help me or even an article to read to get the understanding of this would be helpful.. Thx

Thanks. Ive added ports 135, 136, 137 and 445 for both UDP and TCP. I forgot to mention that i already had checked those two articles and have created the registry keys. I still have the same problem where the users cant logon so ill tell you what i have setup incase it needs addidtional ports opened: When a user logs on their profile is copied from the server onto their local drive which is mapped automatically. The start menu is copied from the server too so only the items we have applied are shown. I cant ping the server which i guess is due to the port being closed (if thats of any use). Anything else i can try? Thx again

Thanks i did check google but damm i didnt find that page. I did what it said on the given link but i have problems when a user logs on. The jpeg should explain (hopefully) my settings and where ive went wrong - anyone know why or what setting i need to adjust? Also what is localsubset? how can i find out my locall subset? i think its 255.255.255.0...... Thx

When a user logs off it always seems to synchronise with the server for offline files etc before it logs off or even shuts down etc. How can i disable this or stop it from happening rather than doing this machine by machine. Im not entirely sure which policy to configure if there is one for this? Thx

Guys I have a domain using the windows firewall (2003 SP1) as soon as i turn on the forewall everything is slow and users cannot login correctly until i disable the FW so what ports require to be open for all this to bypass? Thx

Recently out Exchange admin decided to leave.............he had a few accounts created in exchange that were hidden from users until a certain date when we enabled them manually. My question is how do i find what accounts he's hidden in exchange? Another feature we had enabled was all emails being sent/received were all copied again how could i find out where these are kept? thx

Guys I installed VS 2005 (trial) on two seperate PCs to see what they were like performance wise using a operating system on the server. Both using the same .VHD file (as in the operating system) at the same location. One runs fine the other comes up with the follwing error when i try to Create a virtual disk - "The virtual hard disk could not be created. The item "\\Server\XP\Windows XP SP2.vhd" cannot be used because you do not have sufficient access rights." I have access to this folder as the same folder has the same settings on and is used on the first pc with same secuirty rights etc (running as an admin) but the second machine has the error constantly. I recreated another folder and again 1st pc is fine in creating a virtual disk but the 2nd is bringing up the above error. I can access the folder using Network Places. So i reinstalled the operating system and guess what? same problem - event logs dont mention anything. I have created another VHD file on the network and still cant access it (with full security rights) Copied it locally onto the hard drive and it works (but i need it to be working from the network share) So im lost to what i can do next as ive run out of ideas. Thanks for any help in advance.

Before anything i reinstalled the anti spyware again and it resolved the issue on all pcs - must have been something corrupt with it. thought to let you know just incase anyone gets this problem

Ive disabled access to the C drive and created a batch file to copy certain files from the C drive to our server when a user logs on - the file is saved under Netlogon folder and the link into the users profile page but it never seems to copy anything over - i thought this way should work even if you have c drive disabled from users? so can someone tell me how to do this please? thx

I have a Pc joined to a domain. the pc itself has the latest beta of MS anti spyware (ok i know its beta but still..............) when a user logs in they always get asked if they wish to have the folders redirected to the server (as weve redirected all folders) but i dont want the spyware utility to ask this - ive saved the option logged in as admin then saved it and then made the user into an admin and still it keeps asking when they logon. is there a way around where i can save this option without it keeping asking me? thx

I have a partition where i created 2 folders Called Documents and Application Data and shared them as: Documents = Documents$ Application Data = Application$ Gave permissions for Administrators full access and the users accessing these folder as change access. They login and it creates the folder but when i access (im part of the adminstrators group) i get access denied. What should i be doing to put this right? Thx

Hello everyone Can someone tell me what would be the best settings that i could use to configure a GPO so that it would be save to surf the web? the type i have in mind is where no programs are installed unless its an administrator logged on thx

becuase its a recovery cd i have to put the floppy in first which then loads the CD rom contents to install the system. If i insert the CD then try to boot it does nothing (ive checked my boot settings) thanks p.s. yes the CD came with the hardware

Thanks
