Log off when you are done and have them log on as a different user. safest way

so for more clarification.. you dont have 2 lan segments but you have one lan segment (192.168.20.x/24) and you Wan segment is 192.168.10.x/24 correct. also.. the nic that is servicing lan requests is also the same nic that is servicing the wan requests?am I following you on this one? Is this a domain controller also? on the diagram it looks more as if you have 2 lan segments.... either that or your routing doesnt make much sense since you seem to have the 192.168.10.x/24 segment on both sides of your ISA(LAN/WAN)which simply wont work. please try and clairify this a little more if you could.

I have downloaded a simple php code for an online photo album. This script has everything I need except the autocreation of thumbnails. The author appears to have attempted to include support for this but has commented out the lines and when uncommented.. it still doesnt work I am mildly familiar with php.. normally getting code and modifying it to fit my needs but I am by no means a programmer. The he has commented out is as follows // THUMBNAIL DOESN'T EXIST - LET'S CREATE ONE! (Fun, Eh?) // $new_w=100; // $new_h=100; // header("Content-type: image/gif"); // $dst_img=ImageCreate($new_w,$new_h); // $src_img=ImageCreateFromGif("./imgtest.gif"); // ImageCopyResized($dst_img,$src_img,0,0,0,0,$new_w,$new_h,ImageSX($src_img),ImageSY($src_img)); // ImageGif($dst_img); I am using jpg instead of gif's so I attempted to modify the code for jpg but am unsuccessful. I keep ending up with gibberish here is my code //THUMBNAIL DOESN'T EXIST - LET'S CREATE ONE! (Fun, Eh?) $new_w=100; $new_h=100; header("Content-type: image/jpeg"); $dst_img=ImageCreateTrueColor($new_w,$new_h); $src_img=ImageCreateFromJpeg("$photoDir/&photoFile"); ImageCopyResized($dst_img,$src_img,0,0,0,0,$new_w,$new_h,ImageSX($src_img),ImageSY($src_img)); ImageJpeg($dst_img,'',100); here is the url to the full code http://www.ravis.org/code/album/ I have been messing with this for hours and I continually end up with this http://danfrei.com/beta/photoalbum/1/index...hotoDir=kitten/ anybody with any ideas?

You can use BO2k.. it is a little hard to configure but is about as stealth as you can get.. only problem.. Most Antivirus pickes it up http://www.bo2k.com/

For starters.. I think we are missing some sorta information. I assume SurfControl is running on this ISA 2004 Proxy gateway.. Correct me if I am wrong but you say that all those lines to the right of the orange box is one network adapter. That is a little crazy and I would say that is a point of failure. I dont see it on the diagram but i assume the left side of the orange box has an ip address that is assigned by your isp. Windows will work ok with 1 network adapter to have 2 ip addresses if the 2 addresses are on the same subnet.. if they are not.. you will confuse windows...ESPECIALLY if you have ISA running on that same machine. These interfaces should be configured with just an IP address and a subnet mask (DNS Server if you wish but not necessary, your ISP Nic should definately have that(unless this is ALSO a domain Controller) After you configure the LAN Nic to have NO Default gateway you will need to go into ISA and construct your LAT (Local Address Table) so ISA knows which subnets are LAN Subnet and which ones are not Is the reason you have both subnets connecting to your orange box on one nic because of SurfControl? SurfControl Poses a problem.. and as I am sure you have found out.. SurfControl isnt too clear or concise about their configurations. To my knowledge (atleast in my implementation of SC) one nic should be a dedicated "listener" for SC. This nic is configured by giving it an ipaddress of 127.0.0.1 and running in in promiscous mode and mirror the port your gateway is connected to on the managed switch. please correct me if I am wrong. That is all I can think of.. respond back if I have missed any details.

There are 2 spots in GP where you can change this.. I forget the full path off the top of my head but it is computer configuration -> Administrative templates ->network -> Network Connections -> windows firewall Then you want to go to the Domain Profile and NOT Standandard profile With that being said. Make sure the "Protect All Network Connections" is Enabled Make sure the "Allow Remote Desktop Exception" is Enabled Make sure the "Allow Remote Administration Exception" is Enabled For the permissions.. since you are having problems.. start off with this.. On the OU that the computers are directly contained in. Apply the policy. For security filtering. Apply this policy to Authenticated Users. If you are still having a problem... enforce it On the machine you are testing it on.. type in start -> run -> cmd in the command windows.. type gpupdate /force Once this is done.. restart the computer(just to make sure) This should do it for you. Also.. not sure how you do it but install the Group Policy management console for windows 2003 server.. it makes things SOOOOOO much easier to see. With GPMC installed. if you still run into problems.. run GP results wizard and if it does not apply.. let us know the reason it tells you and we can help you from there.

yeah .. aslong as DNS is functioning properly... you shouldnt need it on the clients to access any shared folders... once again.. unless you have legacy clients

Most likely what he is trying to do is change the FSMO Roles like operations master and what not.. here is an article which will explain how to do this http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?...duct=winsvr2003 If your talkin the old one is completely gone and you need to forceibly move the roles use this link http://www.petri.co.il/seizing_fsmo_roles.htm

There is no such thing as local admin rights on a domain controller. To modify settings on a domain controller you need domain admin privledges. Now.. through Group Policy and User rights assignments you can give specific users specific rights to do the things that you want them to have.. Otherwise.. to answer your question.. there is no such thing as local admin on a domain controller

That is not entirely true.. Netbios over TCP/IP should be enabled when you join the computer to the domain but is not required afterwards.. and on the server side.. you cannot disable this service otherwise you will have RPC connection issues in your domain.. disabling NetBios Over TCP/IP on the clients after joining them to the domain should not cause you a problem unless you have legacy clients

Looks like you answered your question. You only left 2000 Pro as a valid choice. All advanced server gives you are advanced server functionality over Win2k server and all win2k server gives you over 2k Pro is server functionality. 98 is too old and ME.. well .. it sucks. XP.. although not intrusive would be my pick.. you only left 2000 as the only desktop OS you would use..

Yeah.. it is only a f$*k up if you are looking for a f$*k up. I too deployed to to many machine without a problem.. and the best part of all.. that virus that people are writing for the hole and MS patched.. wont effect my systems now... If this event truly screwed up your systems.. complain.... explain your problem and maybe we can fix it. if you are just looking for another reason to trash MS.. switch your OS and find a linux board to post on.

A couple quick edits.. The video card is actually an Quadro FX 3400 256mb instead of the 4400 i stated in the first post.. not sure if it makes a difference. I will run the tests while I am there tomorrow and return the results I am installing the updated drivers but I wont know how well it works until I am on the desktop tomrrow. Obviously Terminal Services lowers graphics features.. but I am just curious here. When I pin the menu to the workspace through terminal services.. the system doesnt crash but If i do the same thing on the desktops console.. it BSOD's... any thoughts.. ideas?

I am having a problem with my an engineering application called Unigraphics NX 2.0. We just received 3 new machines and installed unigraphics on them. Machine Specs Dell Precision Workstation 670 3.2 Intel Xeox x64 3GB memory 300GB SCSI HD Nvidia Quadro FX 4400 256mb The error occures during intense graphics rendering. Basically.. we have one specific file that when loaded, is about a gig and a half in memory. (this is the biggest we have seen a file get but this is a big project and this is what we bought these machines for) When we shade the design and try to rotate it, the computer crashes and gives me a Page_in_non_Paged_area stop error from nv4_disp.dll. There is one specific task when I pin a menu to the work area and the software resizes the image(when shaded) and crashes. This happens every time. Other then that one specific task. any other intense movement makes it crash. This happens on all 3 of the new machines so it isnt a hardware problem. Unigraphics supports 64bit operating systems and the Quadro FX 4400 video card I guess here is my question. Does anybody have experience in these types of intense graphics applications that can lead me in some sorta direction? if not..The next thing in my path is to try and find a different version driver for the video card.. however I am unable to find a site that has archived nvidia drivers. The only ones I have available are the one through the dell website and the latest driver from nvidia?

Make sure the share permissions for the share "seniors" is set to everyone - full control Then using the \\servername\seniors\%username% will create a folder under that share for that user with the appropiate permissions for that user. You say that "Seniors" is shared with appropriate permissions." what are those permissions.. chances are this is where it is failing.

what routers do you have between the 2 branches.. can you look at the config on them... I had a similar problem twice before. First time it was a virus on a computer. We had one part time person that would come in, turn on the affected computer and the network would come to a halt. Second time it ended up being a faulty WIC in my router. It was a cisco router and i just did a show int command and I saw that the router was dropping many many packets. As a temporary releif.. I lowered the MTU of the connection and this would atleast keep things working until the new WIC came in. You say you have it narrowed down to the 2 computers.. what is on it.. what are they doing.?

SBS is a 4 CD package because you essentially have one cd for the OS, one cd for exchange, one cd for SQL and one CD for ISA. .. something along that line. Standard and Enterprise are only 1 CD normally. now.. depending on how you buy it.. through dell, oem, or by any other means, you may get extra other CD's/DVD's. but for the most part.. the standard VLK versions of 2003 server OS are single CD sets. Also.. what you get with enterprise edition is the support for more hard drive space, it can address more memory and can address larger amounts of memory at a time, more CPU's and clustering.. maybe a few more but that is really what enterprise is. and really you get "more" with SBS because you get exchange, sql, isa, outlook, plus remote web workplace and my company web all in one package except you have the limitation of only one domain controller and only something like 75 clients.

netstat -a will show you what connections are open to your computer.. if something is running and listening on the port.. it should show in that list Do you have a firewall running, windows firewall, zone alarm.. anything.

I just tested it also.. kinda neat.. will help when talking to stupid users.. much too simple for most intermediate to advances users though

I had posted about this about a month ago but was unable to get any sort of good responses It is not the hardware. My network does the identical thing. All I was getting was people stating that "that is what you get when using wireless and trying to use it to transfer files instead of using it for video" I hope more people have have better replys to yours as they did to mine. It is kinda frustrating to log into my server to pull items off my desktop My config was a netgear G router with latest firmware and netgear G card with latest drivers on windows xp as client and 2003 enterprise as server. Raid 5 as HD on server. It makes absolutely no sense why it is slow in one direction. I assume you have already looked for the latest drivers and latest firmware for your devices

Standard across all the networks that I manage.. I deploy via group policy MSI + Multiple files Adobe Acrobat (5 thru 7) Symantec AntiVirus (7 thru 10) JRE (1.3 thru JRE2) Non-Standard(pay for apps) Adobe Acrobat (5 thru 6) Microsoft Office 2000 - 2003 Various other MS Apps (frontpage, Visio, MapPoint) AutoCad 2006 Electrical The list goes on and on.. I guess my point it.. you shouldnt run into any problems. I do this all the time and yet to run into a problem that concerns multiple files in the installation I have seen your post and you seem to know what you are doing but I will say it anyways.. Make your share off your server with read only access to everyone. Use a different directory for each package. I also say use a different Group Policy for each Major Installation package (I combine adobe reader, flash, Jre and Symantec in my workstation Group Policies only because those are standard that I want every computer to have.) Here is a REALLY good reference where I get most of my ideas for Group Policy installation of different software http://appdeploy.com/packages/browse.asp?cat=all MSI + no other files Flash 6 - 8

start -> run -> cmd -> netstat -a

yes agreed.. what is it you are trying to monitor.. bandwith, activity, workstations, internet access.. please be a little more specific.

you should just be able to go right click on my computer and click manage -> Local Users and Groups -> Users> then add your user.. This option is available on 2003 server. Only if you install active directory will this option go away. If you install active directory you also promote your coputer to a domain controller which will change security permissions on system directories and may cause problems with web services or application permissions. Since you mention Visual Studios 2003.. I assume you will be doing programming with it.. If your programming doesnt require a domain enviroment then dont install active directory and just use local users.

what about remote assistance? If you "Require" Terminal services then this should fit your call. It is the same protocol, same ports, same speed.. just slightly different from the user end. Why is specifically "Remote Desktop" required.. what are you trying to do?
