hi all i have a user bob@mycompany.com and wants to send emails using bob@anothercompany.com using sbs2003 and exchange 2003 so i created a new smtp connector for the anothercompany.com domain i have ticked the "use dns to route each address space on this connector" secondly i created a global distribution group with the address bob@anothercompany.com and added bob as a member this however doesnt seem to work, no bouncebacks or anything, nothing not even through telnet (all i get is "250 server queued mail for delivery) can anyone see why? or offer help? thanks very much

does your cd have a file called bootfix.bin on it?

iv got it working and heres what im up to so far.. i copied the xp cd using risetup and then i put my winnt.sif into the i386 folder and created a bootable cd. i booted it up and it copied the files ok and when it came to the billboard screen it asked me for a name and organization and a cd key. (which i didnt want) EDIT: its ok i found out whats causing this in that ris sub-forum thanks ever so much for the input guys

what do you mean by this? i know xp is better at doing this anyway, do u mean something else?

yeah thats what i used thanks, im now trying to make a bootable cdrom from a floppy drive.... just followed one method and it didnt work, going to find another now. thanks for the help EDIT: iv done it. open up nero and select boot cd and then make sure that A: is the boot drive selected, press new and then drag the contents of A: to the image/cd you are going to create, hey presto! a bootable cd for use with a RIS server

that worked! i disabled both floppies in BIOS and the virtual floppy was given the A: drive letter it contains only one file after running rfbg.exe its called "RISDISK" ill post again if i manage to make a bootable cd from this

believe me i have been 'googling' for around 45 minutes now, and if all else fails ill use vmware (using microsoft atm) i seem to have almost found a workaround for this... im using a virtual floppy drive and an image but the server refuses to create an image on the B drive, so atm im rebooting the server (takes forever lol) and im gonna disable the A: drive in the bios and see if i can get a virtual floppy to be assigned the A drive letter, ill post once im done and let u know how it goes thanks

Hi all i have a RIS server setup and i was going to test it by deploying XP to a virtual machine.... unfortunatly the VM does not have the ability to use a boot PXE so i have to boot from a floppy. however i dont have a floppy drive in my system so now im stuck my idea is this... can i install a virtual floppy drive on the RIS server, create the floppy using the virtual drive and then create a bootable cd out of this floppy image? (i know this can be done with win 98 boot discs) if anyone has done this or knows how it can be done please share your knowledge! many thanks Title Edited - Please follow new posting rules from now on. --Zxian

hi all setting up a RIS server and i ran risetup and it copied the files from a win XP cd to a partition on the server. however the directory structure is different to normal so i deleted the files an im now just copying the entire xp cd onto the server maintaining the same directory structure as on the cd, does anyone know if this will still work? (as far as installing using RIS goes?) thanks EDIT: iv just found that it wont acknowledge the image unless it copied through risetup to the server.... so does anyone know how to add $OEM$ folders to the RIS image? or is it exactly the same?

thank you i shall take a look and post if it works. if you were wondering what i wanna do is tweak my xp in certain ways and save that as an exe and then make an msi of it and have it run silently as part of the unattended installation

does anyone know if its possible to do this? il explain... can i start with a fresh xp, take a before snapshot make some minor changes (i.e tweaks + customizations) and then take an after snapshot and have this made into an exe? thanks for reading

Hi upon deploying software via group policy there is no way to check whether or not it actually worked without physically going to each machine and checking, well being the lazy admin i am i would like a way (maybe through a script if possible) to check an ip range for a certain file does anyone know how to do this please? thanks for your time

ok so if i put all these files in a network share and deploy via GPO it should work? il give that a try later today. thanks guys btw i used the one from the windows server 2000 disc, i guess the newest version would be a lot better, but i dont have a budget for things like this so... lol

Hi, does anyone know if its possible to compare the contents of 2 txt files through a script or other and have the differences output to another file? many thanks

right click my computer and under the computer name tab you should be able to change the computer name, but i think you are alos refering to my documents as it says "missy" for this you will need to create a user for yourself ( go to control panel and user accounts) thanks

i have created an .MSI of realvnc however i get the whole program files directory of vnc, a reg file, a .nai file and my .msi. if i then try to run this .msi file on any other machine it wont work unless all the files are present. surely this isnt right? can anyone help me please?

excellent article. i notice prefetch is set to 128 in xp does anyone know the registry key to make this higher? thanks

excellent! thank you very much for your reply i really appreciate it anything i should know before i begin? or is it fairly straightforward?

hi, i just have a few questions regarding this, which i cant seem to find the answer to so here goes; if i have 2 machines as follows: 1- fresh XP install 2- xp install 1) if i install wininstallle on machine 2 and then run it from machine 1 do i do it through UNC path or map a drive to it? 2) does the fresh install have to be 100% up to date? or can i do it using "as is" 3) does it matter if i sign the fresh XP onto a domain and then use the MSI i create on an entirely different domain? 4) also does it matter if i set a manual IP address or an address given by a dhcp server? thank you

sorry yes that should have been /11 lol iv edited my post sorry wasnt thinking straight

do you have the XP firewall on?

lets take 10.0.0.0/8 its a standard class A address and has a S/N of 255.0.0.0 so if we wanted 8 subnets we do 2 to the power 3 which just happens to be eight (dont want to complicate it yet) and then we take that 3 and add it to the subnet mask to create an extended Subnet mask like so 1111111.11100000.00000000.00000000 so our extended sn mask is now 11 bits long so we now have 10.0.0.0/11 as opposed to the original 10.0.0.0/8 ok so we are left with 21 zeros's or bits for the host ID so we do 2 to the power 21 and get 2097152. so in summation we took a 10.0.0.0/8 and subnetted it to 8 subnets each with 2097512 hosts. the ip range for each subnet is calculated from this below s/n 1 - 00001010.000 00000.00000000.00000000 = 10.0.0.0/11 s/n 2 - 00001010.001 00000.00000000.00000000 = 10.0.0.32/11 s/n 3 - 00001010.010 00000.00000000.00000000 = 10.0.0.64/11 and so on............ hope this helps you mate

thank you i shall keep regmon in mind, its just i find it brings up a LOT of information as obviously there are loads of registry keys being accessed at any given time thanks again
