Yeah, we tried that - did not work. We did the LDIFE thing were we exprted AD to a text file and we saw all the extra SMTP=joebloggs3....... etc we found them in the exchange section and removed them, but it still wont let us use the original username as the e-mail. Any further ideas? Thanks

We created a user, say "joebloggs" which was then been deleted. We then re-created the "joebloggs" account but we now get the error c10312e7 The problem now is that the e-mail address is now joebloggs3@domain.co.uk When we manually change it back to joebloggs@domain.co.uk we get the above error code. When we search for all e-mail addresses we can't find the joebloggs one at all. Looks like SBS2003 thinks joebloggs, joebloggs1 and joebloggs2 already exist! Any ideas how we get arround this issue? Thanks in advance.

If we deny "USer" access but they are still an Administrator they could change the permissions? "User" must be able to Send/Receive in the "Server Management".

Appriciate that. What we are trying to do is target "most" people! We will advice that we backup ONLY these files unless otherwise specified. So if users use IncrediMail etc. etc. they will need to tell us so we can do things manually if needed. Then again we could add it to the above script "just in case". Thanks for reply.

"User" needs to be able to login to the server while "Bob" is not in the office so we can synchronise the e-mail messages on the server.

In addition to this is there anyway of creating an Outlook Express .iaf file using the above script? Looks like you have to manually go to OE -> TOOLS -> ACCOUNTS -> MAIL -> EXPORT Would be nice to include the .iaf file as part of the above data backup script. Thanks in advance.

This situation is as follows: SBS 2003 machine. There is a folder on this maching called "Confidential" which needs to be accessed by only 1 user, lets say "Bob". The other user we have on the server is called "User". These are the only two users we have. Basicaly we want "Bob" to be the only person the access the confidential folder, but the user "User" needs to be able to login to the SBS2003 to do the Send/Receive Mail because sometimes we can't wait the standard 15 minutes. The problem we have found is that once the "User" is not an administrator they loose the ability to do this function. We have tried creating the Exchange snap-in with the "Bob" user and saving it but the "User" doesn't have all the options in it. Any ideas! Thanks

Guess they could be copied back, but.... 1) You would need to manually create the Windows XP Users 2) Outlook Express Messages would need to be imported. Is this correct ?

Big thanks to everyone. Few modifications to get the Address Book & OE Messages and all working good now. Would there be an "easy" way of displaying on the screen in some box or DOS window the files that are being copied. With large files the screen is blank for ages while it copies in the background, would be good to ensure that it was actually copying the files! Big thanks once again!

When a customer in our shop needs a reinstall we basically take their HDD out and put it in our machine to copy data off. Most people only want the folders detailed below to be backed up. Looking for help writting a batch file. The batch file needs to do the following. 1) Ask for drive letter. 2) Ask for Customers Name 3) Create a folder on D:\<customer name> 4) Copy the following folders: My Docs, Desktop, Favs, OE E-mails, Address Book, Outlook PST file if there is one. It also needs to copy all user profiles from C:\Documents & Settings\<username> Any ideas how and if this can be done. Thanks

Is there anyway we can pre-install the Office 2003 trial on the machines we build, but if the customer wants to upgrade to the full software that they come back to use, or pay online etc. rather than buy off Microsoft directly? Thanks

On the floppy disk we use with the winbom.ini file on it we create a 5GB partition ready for a backup partition which we put a ghost image on, and then the rest of the hdd is used to create the system partition. Question is: after we install winxp we have to go to the manage computer snapin and create the partition in the unused space and then format it and then label it "Backup". Is there a way of doing it in the winbom file so that both partitions are create, formated and labeled ready for the Ghost image to go on. We also need to make sure the backup partition is given the drive letter Q: Our winbom file is as follows: [Version] signature=$CHICAGO$ [Factory] Username=SWANCD\OPKTOOLS Password= WinBOMType=WinPE [ComputerSettings] AuditAdminAutoLogon=Yes SourcePath=%windir% [NetCards] [WinPE] Restart=Reboot Lang=ENG Sku=per.sp2 ConfigSet=Titan SourceRoot=\\SWANCDSERVER\OPKTools Username=OPKTOOLS Password= Domain=SWANCD [WinPE.net] StartNet=Yes [DiskConfig] Disk1=Disk1.config [Disk1.config] WipeDisk=Yes Size1=5000 PartitionType1=extended FileSystem1=ntfs QuickFormat1=yes SetActive1=yes Size2=* PartitionType2=primary FileSystem2=ntfs QuickFormat2=yes SetActive2=yes [DesktopShortcutsFolder] DesktopShortcutsFolderName= Thanks in advance!

What are the options for adding text? Thanks Owain

On the screen where a user has to press CTRL + ALT + DEL to login is there anyway of "branding" it to show our logo for example? Thanks for any replies.

When a user logs on to a SBS2003 domain I know there is a way of saying "Welcome - Network mainted by XYZ Ltd" but I would like to have a small logo on the dialog box too. Is this easy and does anyone have a script template I could work from? Thanks

Hi, Is this 100% true? - We seem to be able to enter the licence fine into SBS2003 and it even says we have 5 licences. Why does it let you enter the licence if it can't be used? Are they used for something else? Thanks

Thanks for the replies. Yes its Windows Server 2003 Small Business Edition. How would I go about installing the full terminal services? Do I need to do Add/Remove programs, remove the Terminal Services, reboot, then Add/Remove and add it in again? Would this give me the option of making it run on the correct mode? Simple walk-through would be appriciated! Thanks Owain

We have a licence for 5 users but it will only let a maximum of 2 users in at a time. Any one know a setting etc we can edit to let the full 5 users access at the same time. Thanks Owain
