Guess I'm screwed cuz I forgot our domain users are local admins. !

chugger93

dangit...so no easy way around it eh? I couldnt find anything in GP. I'll keep searching

chugger93

Why is it that in my network a domain user can kick a domain admin off a workstation? For example, if I'm using remote desktop into a computer, someone can log me off whos a domain user? I'm a domain admin?

Is this normal behavior or did I not configure something appropriately in group policy ...

My ultimate goal here is to copy users from one active directory environment to another. They are on seperate networks so I really can't user the AD migration tool.

Anyone know how I can do this? Copy users from domain A to domain B and vice versa? The reason is for now until our companies merge we ...

I wanna be able to either A.) turn my laptop into an access point for others or B.) purchase a device (router) actually so others can share my broadband.

Basically I have this new USB sprint mobile broadband device that gives me internet anywhere I go. So if Im on a boat, or up north, I wanna be ...

no static IP from comcast, I'm always sure they assign DHCP addresses. Probably my first mistake. So I'd have to figure out how to DHCP that interface.

I understand having a default route. Not sure what Id put there. Ive seen them in other routers like "ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.255"

chugger93

I have a used Cisco 1721 I got ahold of and want to set it up for my comcast broadband access. I ordered the WIC-ENET card from ebay and already popped it in there and successfully consoled into the router. I had to reset the register to 0x2102 because it wasn't saving my config on bootup.

Anyways ...

chugger93

Probably not. I'm not very proficient in linux or anything of the sort. Windows guy ;)

I'd rather just buy a hardware security appliance, briefly configure it and be done with it. I just want some of the cool features like antivirus, spam, IDS, etc at the gateway.

I heard Zywall products are ...

chugger93

what about a cisco pix 501? Any experiences with those? Is it all CLI or is there a GUI? Security services? I keep seeing them on ebay for like 200-300 bucks.

I think Im torn between sonicwall or cisco. Of course I guess I should almost rule out the pix if I want a firewall/router. The pix is just ...

chugger93

right and that just means 10 concurrent users on at any time right? What if theres a webserver hooked up to it...that shouldnt matter right?

chugger93

I'm on the prowl for a pretty good firewall. Please don't recommend products like Linksys, Netgear, Dlink. I'm what you would call a little "above that" in terms of my knowledge and experience. Im willing to pay in the $200-300 range as well which is doiable through places like ebay.

I'm really ...

I'm looking for a very lightweight scanner, preferabbly just an exe that will not only scan the network, but also denote a column that shows you the user logged in to that machine.

n/m, finally got it! I had each harddrive set to master and slave. So one HD was a M, and the other was a S, which caused the conflict. Now that they are both Master, it works great! If I pull the plug on one HD, the other still is there and all my data. Good deal! Thanks for the help YeOlde! This ...

chugger93

Same goes for the other drive right? No matter which drive I unplug after the array is setup, I should still see the drive in windows?

Hmm, wonder why its not working. It creates the array like right away when I set it up in the promise BIOS. Like in 1 second then I reboot and it identifies it fine ...

I'm building a fileserver for my home network. I got a Promise FasTrak TX2000 Raid Card , & 2 Western Digital Caverie 320GB IDE Hard Drives . I'm not sure if anyone is familiar with this raid card, but for those who know RAID well, maybe you can answer me this.

Basically I already had installed ...

chugger93

I've had my machine now for about 5 years, built by myself. The past few days, when I'm working on my machine, it'll just SHUT OFF . Like I'll be opening up something, and the computer just shuts off completely. Then when I go back to turn on the computer, the computer chip FAN/HEATSINK will not ...

chugger93

I'm kinda browsing around for a new HD. 80G or 120, but I keep seeing em at ATA 100. What ever happened to ATA 133? I know they make em, but are almost hard to find...I keep seeing like Western Digitals but ATA 100 is the most common.

Why would I do a ATA 100, when my computer supports ATA 133?

chugger93

Well, the HD is in my freezer for the 2nd time (didnt work the first time). I ordered an enclosure for 30 bucks, so when it comes in, in 2 days I will take the HD from the freezer, hook it up to the enclosure and use it via USB. Pray that it works!

chugger93

can I get an enclosure from like tigerdirect?

Also I already froze the HD..and took it out. Because of condensation that already formed...is it possible some components got wet already and messed it up even more? Should I bother with an enclosure?

I have an external 120 drive thats in an enclosure ...

chugger93

Never knew about that trick! Thanks alot...Gonna try it and pray!

chugger93

Guys I really need some help.

This morning, I was just checking my email when a tooltip came up outta nowhere that said "Delayed Write Failure D:\MFT" or whatever. I've seen this before and it usually means your HD is either taking a dump or will take a dump shortly. Last time my BIOS even told me ...

looks like the primary DC is already AD integrated. Interesting. So I guess I can proceed with just installing DNS on the secondary DC.

B.T.W, since you seem to know a great deal about this stuff. I noticed the option "Enable automatic scavenging of records" or something in the advanced tab under ...

chugger93

ad integrated zones? You can tell Im just a beginner at this stuff.

Well then no, I guess I dont have integrated zones setup...not sure?

chugger93

Ok Thanks. Now what happens with DNS? Normally lets say our clients primary DNS is 10.0.0.2 which is the Primary Domain Controller. If that goes down, then that DNS is basically void. Login will take forever because DNS server is down. Would I then have to change DNS settings on the DHCP server, or ...

chugger93

yep.. dcpromo is basically the setup program for Active Directory. In order for people to be able to login using the second server, you should make it a global catalog server. Basically a global catalog server is a fully replicated copy of the entire Active Directory database.

To make the second ...

chugger93

Should you be able to log onto your machine when a primary DC is down? Im doing some testing, creating a secondary DC, etc. So I have my primary DC on a 2003 box, and a secondary DC on a virtual machine. Then I have a workstation on a virtual machine. If I shut off the Primary DC & Secondary DC, I ...

chugger93

I havnt even done this yet. Do you think its a good idea for fault tolerance? Have you ever seen a primary go down? We have only like 50 employees, but an outage would suck

chugger93

Ok thanks, so its that easy huh? No extra overhead? Everything will be replicated so if my primary goes down this secondary will take over? Oh & what do u mean promote, using dcpromo? Never used it before

chugger93

NT? No Im talking about 2k3. Didnt know those terms (pdc, bdc) werent used anymore. So all I have to do is setup a another domain as a child? Then that will be like my BDC?

chugger93

I wanted to setup a backup domain controller. I have a server ready for it, but I have never setup a child domain before. Is there anything I should know? Can I do this on production hours and not have the PDC go down or have issues? Is it relatively simple as when I setup my PDC for our company ...

Im having some troubles lately with my connection. I have a cable connection, that goes into a win2003 box, (which acts as my router/gateway, dhcp server, etc) After that it heads off to my upstairs room, into a linksys 5 port switch. I have two computers that feed off that.

Every 3-5 minutes or so ...

I havnt been keeping up with hardware lately, and my friend wants a computer built for him. He wants to play some fairly top end games, do email, internet, etc. So he'll need a pretty decent system.

Can someone recommend some ASUS motherboards with chips? I want to do a P4, but I keep seeing ...

I ended up buying this one:

Ideal
LinkMaster™ Tester

and its really good. Guess the true test is hooking up PC's though

chugger93

If I were to buy a DELL all-in-one printer,scanner, faxer, copier, etc can I setup a fax line at my new home? Would I have to call in the phone company? Can I use one line for phone/fax or does it require 2 lines? Is it a monthly fee extra?

Any info with faxing would be appreciated.

Thanks

chugger93

Wow, thanks for all that helpful info. Maybe what I'll do is buy one of those SRX series, and put it in my basement. Hopefully it will broadcast throughout the entire house without any issues. Its only a 1650 square foot house, so its not like its gigantic or anything. All Id wanna do is make it an ...

Im preparing my new home for networking, with wired and wireless connectivity. I already have a netgear wireless router, that Im using and configured only as an access point . My house is fairly big, and would like to repeat that signal somehow. Im checking out netgears product page http://www ...

chugger93

Is there a way I can test network connectiviety on each wired port, without internet hooked up at the house? Should I just use a switch? Then hopefully if I hook a PC up on each port, it will show it in windows as being connected. THen I will know if I wired it right...?

Im starting to run cat 5e cable in my new house, cutting holes for the plates in each room etc. I bought Cat5E riser cable, instead of pleninum which I hope is ok.

My questions are this: Can I run this cable alongside an electrical wire or two? Will it interfere? Same with Coaxile cable?
