Hi all,
I'm looking for a bit of advice on changing a network from a workgroup setup to a domain environment .
We're a small and growing business with a total of four office locations ( one main office, and three satellite offices).
All satellite offices are connected into the main office via VPN ...

For printers I typically set the printers network settings to obtain auto, connect them...fire them up, and looks on the servers DHCP console to find it....grab its MAC address, and create a DHCP reservation for it (so it has a static IP all the time). Apply that reservation, power cycle the ...

TeddyTed

Have you tried to do a cold reset?

1. power it down
2. hold down BOTH buttons (go and cancel)
3. power on (still holding down buttons)
4. all lights come on at same time, success
5. power cycle again and it should pull an IP address from your LAN (provided DHCP is being used)

Thank you for ...

Hello all,
I’ve got a somewhat odd question which I hope someone may be able to answer.
Here’s the scenario:
I need to reset / reconfigure a printer in a remote office, but I do not know the actual IP address.
The printer was moved from another office and had a static IP address assigned to it. I ...

If the other agency allows you to use a self signed cert...most clients can generate them

Thanks for the suggestions guys ! I will see if the self signed cert is good enough. If not i'll will go with a ...

Hello all,

I'm not sure if this is the right area to post this question, but I’m hoping to get some advice on this question.
Does anyone know of a tool which can be use to determine if a system in running "UEFI”?
I know it's possible to use the function key to get into "bios" options to make that ...

Hello all,

I'm looking for a solution for printing via remote desktop on a VPN connection.

Here's the setup:
I've got two offices connected using a Soincwall TZ210 in the main office, and a Sonicwall TZ170 on the satellite office.

Connected using site to site VPN
Main office local network ...

TeddyTed

yeah, i was thinking of suggesting purchasing 2008 Server for the DB server, and then using the copy of 2003 Server on the domain controller, but i didn't want the force them to spend extra money.
I'll see what i can do.
Would it be difficult to migrate Active directory from the 2k box to a new 2k3 ...

TeddyTed

Thanks YOSC ! you were exactly correct. I wasn't using the DC own IP address for DNS.

Thanks ! your advice is always solid.

TeddyTed

Gotcha !! maybe that's the part i didn't pay enough attention to.
I'll run a new virtual machine tonight and if it works well, I'll rebuild the physical machine which i'm preparing for the DC.

Hey, quick question....
This is small network of about 15 or 18 workstation; if you were doing this setup ...

TeddyTed

If i remember correctly, i've tried using it's own IP address, as well as using the outside DNS address.
I can do another test run tonight to be sure this is not where i've been messing up.
So it MUST be the it's own address right ?

Thanks,

Hello all I need a bit of help getting acquainted with setting up a Active directory.
I'm basically using old test machines (and virtual machines) installing Server 2000 for this project. But eventually I've got to install a DC on a small network for someone.

Is anyone here really good with Oracle SQL?
I'm pretty new to Oracle SQL and I'm looking for some quick help on some join statements which has to be done by a deadline in the next few hours.
I'm willing to pay (paypal) for assistance if need be.

TeddyTed

I’ve got a client who does in-house payroll processing for about 400 employees using QuickBooks Enterprise Edition, and is now looking for additional solutions to streamline things a bit and basically take things to another level.
The office is setup pretty simple:
No active directory. Simple ...

TeddyTed

Thanks YOSC!
Your info is always solid! I like Sonicwalls a lot! I’ve never had any major issues with them. I just find the support/maintenance a bit pricey. I will look into the Juniper devices, but because I’ve got a few Sonicwalls in place for this client, I’d probably keep it all Sonicwalls ...

Hey fellas,

I'm looking for a solution for SSL VPN access for a small office.

The scenario is as follows:

Workgroup of 14 machines workstations (XP & Vista).
Windows 2k3 Server

Currently there are two other small offices connected via VPN using TZ170s as well.

Thanks YOSC!
Do you remember if it's flexible in terms of customizing cover pages etc?

Hello fellas,

I'm looking for an electronic Faxing solution for my client.
It's a small business,and they probably do about 150 faxes per week.
I've looked into eFax, but i was wondering if anyone has a better suggestion.

TeddyTed

Thanks TonyT,
I'll give this a try and let you know how it turns out.

Hey fellas,

Got a quick question and I’m hoping someone could help out with the issue.
Basically, I’m wondering if it’s possible to create a script which would batch print the contents of a folder on the network as well as the contents of all subfolders.
The main folder is shared within a ...

TeddyTed

It's a small office.. no domain, just a "large workgroup"
The TZ170 hands out IPs to the workstations. But the servers both have static IP addresses - that's the only thing i can think about which makes a difference in this scenario.

TeddyTed

That's an excellent first question YOSC! didn't think of that.
I just tried and YES I am able to connect via IP address.

Any other questions?

TeddyTed

Hey fellas, here’s the scenario:
I’ve got a site to site VPN tunnel connected using a Sonicwall TZ170 at the office and a Sonicwall TZ180W at home.
The problem is, I’m having problems connecting via Remote desktop to all the XP workstations in the office.
NOTE: I am able to connect to a Windows ...

TeddyTed

My mistake , i just remoted in and tested another one of the machines and it worked fine.

Thanks YOSTC !

TeddyTed

YOSTC, I went with your suggestion and all looks well except, now I’m not able to connect to those workstations via remote desktop because they're outside the DHCP scope on the TZ 170. I typically connect to the Antivirus security server and then connect to workstations on the network.
Looks like ...

TeddyTed

Sounds like a plan. I'll give it a go when i get to that office location later on.

Thank for your help.

TeddyTed

Well, it is a centralized server but I’m actually using an older box (Win2k SVR -which was previously the DB sever as the Virus Server console.
So basically, the workstations are not looking at the same machine for Database access and virus definition updates. I assume that would be a problem, right ?

TeddyTed

Thanks for you feed back YOSTC,

So you’re saying this approach would still allow connections to the server for database access as well as virus definition updates being push out from the Trend Micro Security Server ?

TeddyTed

Hey everyone, I'm looking for a suggestion on following scenario in my client's office.

Workgroup of 13 workstation (11 xp machines , 2 Vista) and 1 Win 2K3 server.
Sonicwall TZ 170 Standard OS
Trend Micro Client / Server Security Suite.
2 Networked Oki printers
Basically, the client would ...

TeddyTed

Actually, I have been thinking of using a DC because this 2k3 server is replacing another box running server 2k. So logically the older box can become the DC. That would be perfect, however, the only issue they will have to purchase another 2k3 server license and I'm not sure if the boss would want ...

TeddyTed

Got a little question on using Terminal Services in a small workgroup.
Win 2K3 Server standard with 15 workstations.
I've purchased 6 TS CALS for users to connect to the server remotely and i'm getting ready to put em to work.
I'm just not sure if it makes sense to use "per user" or "per device ...

TeddyTed

Thank for the info. I will be sure to look into these options.

TeddyTed

Not sure if this is the right spot for this question but here we go...

I'm looking to apply content filtering to a workgroup 15 XP machines in a public environment.
My first thought is to replace the Linksys I’ve got setup with a Sonicwall TZ 170 Wireless Appliance (25 Node) series, and then ...

I'm using regular Cable.

TeddyTed

the PCs are using private IPs and the Linky is running is router mode.
Let me also mention this because it may ring a bell.
On the LAN I'm unable to connect to remote desktop/terminal server using machine name but i can connect using the local IP address (192.168.15.xxx)

TeddyTed

nope... I've got some configured with a static IP and some with automatically obtain an IP.
My rouuter is not using PPPoE.

TeddyTed

I did check out IP address (209.86.xxx.xxx) and it seems to be associated with earthlink (my ISP). I get the same reply IP address for all machines on the LAN.
Also, the IP address for earthlink's DNS servers are 207.69.188.186 & 187

TeddyTed

No, and this happens even if the server is turned off.
