Sounds like board to me. Was it a proper shutdown or just powered off ?

That means you're a geek !!

I've found Ricoh really unreliable in the past. Moved to Sharp. Pretty good, not perfect. I'd advise to get shot of whatever you get within 3 years. I've found this is around when they start wearing out. We use a company called Midshire Bus. Systems. I managed to get an (almost) free colour copier and wrote in a 3 year change of machine into a 5 year contract. I found them very easy to negotiate with. Recommended. Oh and PaperCut is excellent too.

oooh. Good luck m8. 30 sounds like a pain. Pay for it. Go for the easy option.

They better not flippin' do this to me. I've only just just got it running sweetly !!!!! I thought it was your package. They're doing the usual... offer a service for free then start charging when thousands rely on it, forcing them into buying it. I'd ask them to downgrade you if they will..... unlikely unfortunately.

I have a QNAP. I'll take a kook at that, cheers.

On DC1 & DC2 there should be a reverse lookup for each zone in each subnet.

Take a look here... windows - What should the order of DNS servers be for an AD Domain Controller and Why? - Server Fault I'm thinking that your DNS servers aren't replicating so each is keeping it's own copy. Do all your DNS servers show reverse lookup zones on DC1? DNS should do this by itself. This might help... https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windowsserver/en-US/7f06e326-4499-4e76-9387-69ba35d3e7df/dns-with-multiple-subnets

That doesn't look right to me. Microsoft say point DNS servers to their 2nd DC counterpart, so... in your main site, I'd maybe do it like this - where you've got your Preferred and Alternate DNS addresses in TCPIPv4 properties.... DC1: P: 192.168.1.3 A: 192.168.1.2 DC2: P: 192.168.1.2 A: 192.168.1.3 DC3: P:192.168.1.2 A: 192.168.5.5 DC4: P:192.168.1.2 A:192.168.10.2 ....Assuming 192.168.1.2 is your FSMO role holder and the primary authoritative DC for your domain. Are 192.168.5.xxx and 192.168.10.xxx in the same subnet ? Whats the subnet mask Length ? e.g 192.168.1.1 /22 DC2 probably has the firewall on or something if its marked as Public - that might cause replication problems I would imagine. EDIT: Oh and check you have all of your DNS server addresses in your DHCP scope options. How many DHCP servers have you got?

Sounds like they can't connect to the DNS server. What are your DC's pointing to. Might be worth a look. Someone posted a similar problem a while back and he had his DC pointing to ::1 that stopped it replicating. Double check your DNS settings in DHCP. I had a problem with some new machines I put in where they wouldn't pick up GPO's because of a DNS error. Turned out that one of the DC's A records had disappeared or got scavenged. One of the A records that begins with (Same as parent folder). Caused all sorts of confusion.

What are the links? Same multiple buildings on the same premisies or 3 completely different geographical sites? - - - Updated - - - Try this too.... dcdiag /test:replications

Have you got 2 DC's? Sounds like a replication problem between two to me. EDIT: Scratch that. Just re-read your first post. Whats the link between the sites? Any DNS info in ipconfig

Firstly try a full dcdiag on your DC and see if any errors are reported. Also dcdiag /testdns

FYI, top right, you have a customer number. Must be licensed. Mine doesn't. Had ours for about 18 months.

How is '1m of earth' supposed to help you in all out nuclear war ?? 1st floor isn't even underground ? That's not a bunker. Its the same as all crappy London flats ! Imagine selling that and then war breaks out the next day !:rip:

I'm legacy and I can create one. Says Pro on your image. Sure its legacy?

We do. This is a Primary and kids don't have accounts.... although I suppose I could lock some down. Might be a bit much for the little ones.

We wouldn't use it to anywhere near its potential here. 2K = too much. I only want to access shared LAN directories

How much is it ??

I want to do this but we use a shared pool of Ipads, not individual ones - each user will pick up a different 'pad every time. Whats a simple way to do that but still access network shares differently every time? EDIT: Foldr isn't free for the host VM is it? Have I got the right URL - freeyourfiles.co.uk ??

Cheers @dry Just done that. All good (It is App Inventor)

Hi all, Need a bit of advice..... 120 pupils need to use a programming suite called (Cant remember but its M.I.T) They need a Google email account each to login. Whats the easiest way to get 120 Gmail accounts? Google Apps? - Is it free? Do I need a license ? Cheers in advance

Y thats what I said. You're relying on the client to update the record, not the DHCP server. I'd leave it all to DHCP. If the machine is off or network is out when the lease time expires, it won't update. Another client might grab the IP and then you're left with a conflicting or duplicate A record, obviously rectified when you ipconfig /registerdns

Also... DHCP--->DNS Tab ----- Option 2 radio button: - 'Always dynamically update DNS A and PTR records' I set mine to Option 1. Not sure if your setting might be replicating or deleting records that don't need to be. Same tab: Bottom tickbox - try unticking that too. Those two settings look to me like they might be conflicting each other. My settings (working fine) Check that DHCP server 2 isn't conflicting also (If you're using one that is)

Scavenging set up ?
