I cant upload folders via the browser. Only files. I think you need one drive for business,

But have you demoted the current DC as the operations master & Global catalogue etc? It will still be broadcasting as the main DC. EDIT - Ignore that - Didnt see your netdom query above Hang on. I'm confused.... So you've got 2 new DC's ? Why not have DC01 as a primary DC, DNS1, DHCP1, AD etc etc Then DC02 as a secondary DC, DNS2, DHCP failover etc etc. I think splitting those roles is a bad idea. I'm pretty sure your PDC has to be the primary DHCP and DNS.

Makes sense to me that way. Round here they've done previously it without VLANs. 2 completely separate networks.

Just re-read the original post... see what you mean now. You'll have to dump one of the domains and redo the GPO's etc for the other one... then join the SQL server and whichever client machines to the right domain. Shouldn't be that much of a hassle should it ? Migrate the SQL data afterwards.

Are you sure the writing of the folder name isn't white ? (erm, joke) You're client machines had viruses on them? Never seen that unless on a really machine. How unusual. Can you not get Veeam to ignore them ? Why Veeam anyway. Can't you just dump them on an external HDD and leave them ? I'd be slightly tempted to xcopy them to somewhere else and see if it copied those blank folders. If not, delete them. Otherwise you've got a large folder trawling task on your hands m8.

I know what you mean @nikaso @Mcshammer_dj - LA's split the network into either two subnets or two domains. Admin and Curriculum. No VLANs. Why, god knows. Pupil data security I suppose. Mine used to be an age ago. No reason to now. Sims.net minimum requirement is a disk partition with MS SQL installed on it and the Sims.net software config'd to serve and update. Anyway getting back to it.... I wouldn't mix the two if I were you. Simply because the Sims.net data needs to be highly available. I wouldn't put anything on that machine that doesn't need to be there. Lose any of the data/availability and they're . If you ever needed to replace the DC its going to make the job more difficult when you need to keep the data available. If they bought it.. let them lump it. They should have bought a server you could virtualise the whole lot on.. right ?

You don't have to demote the old DC, you can keep it running if you want. You do however have to transfer the FMSO roles and demote the current DC as the schema operations master & Global catalogue server, tell it its the primary domain controller etc according to FSMO. You cant have two masters on the same domain. That means you have to remove some of the FSMO roles on the 2003 server. You can always keep it as a secondary server. Its very simple. Find a Youtube guide. That's what I did, followed step by step and it worked perfectly. Do the FSMO role changes swiftly though or something will break. EDIT... Follow this. It looks pretty bang on. http://blogs.technet.com/b/canitpro/archive/2014/04/02/step-by-step-active-directory-migration-from-windows-server-2003-to-windows-server-2012.aspx

I'm speccing up new PC's for staff that are classroom based. i3, 8gb RAM, etc etc etc The main thing to remember is what they're going to be used for. With Intel the i5 is a bit of an oddity. They're mostly quad core without hyperthreading. i3's - Mostly dual core with hyperthreading. i7's - Quad core with hyperthreading. Do you need more cores? Will hyperthreading do when you do. I've come to the conclusion that (mainly to save thousands of pounds) a dual core i3 @ 3.8Ghz that supports hyperthreading will do just fine in place of an i5 where two/three of the cores are just going to do nothing most of the time. Plenty of RAM, a decent CPU speed and an SSD will be valid for a few years and will be quick now. Unless you're gaming, doing loads of number crunching or heavy excel calculations, compiling, running tons of system intensive processes at the same time.. you don't need an i5 or i7. TBH, a decent Celeron will handle much of what you throw at it without any performance loss. i7's will be redundant in not too many years. Personally on my desk I have an 8 core AMD, 32gb RAM, 750 mb read/write SSD and a £300 gaming mobo. But I can... Oh. I'd avoid Atoms or AMD.

Lol. You've got OUR old caretaker

A folder/directory HAS to have a name. You sure ?

Sounds like DNS. Look for duplicate records with the same IP address and different host names. A forceful way to make the clients to look at the new DNS would be to delete all your local A records and wait for them to re-populate. A good idea also is to set up scavenging to auto delete old/unused records. Check your DHCP server config for the correct DNS server addresses. As @pantscat says - Have you demoted your old DC's ?

They are stupidly expensive. I've found the LapCabby ones are pretty decent and are one of the cheaper brands.

Veeam rocks. Saved my bacon a few times.

This is a script that pops up a dialogue box asking if the user want to print a job in colour (yes) or mono (cancel)... You could modify it to print only in Mono for whichever devices -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- /* * Color print jobs require user confirmation * * Color printing is expensive so users should be encouraged to print * in grayscale whenever they print in color. No confirmation is required * for grayscale jobs. */ function printJobHook(inputs, actions) { /* * This print hook will need access to all job details * so return if full job analysis is not yet complete. * The only job details that are available before analysis * are metadata such as username, printer name, and date. * * See reference documentation for full explanation. */ if (!inputs.job.isAnalysisComplete) { // No job details yet so return. return; } if (inputs.job.isColor) { /* Color job, ask the use if they want to print. The job cost is displayed * prominently to encourage users to consider black and white printing instead. */ var response = actions.client.promptPrintCancel( "This print job is color" + " and costs " + inputs.utils.formatCost(inputs.job.cost) + ". You can save money by printing the job in grayscale. " + "Press Print to Print in Colour. Press Cancel to convert to Greyscale", {"dialogTitle" : "Color print job", "dialogDesc" : "Consider printing in grayscale to reduce costs"}); if (response == "CANCEL" || response == "TIMEOUT") { // User did not respond, cancel the job and exit script. //actions.job.cancel(); actions.job.convertToGrayscale(); return; } } } --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Photos wont print via Papercut using Windows photo printing wizard. Scenario: Sharp MX-XXXX MFP's Server 2012 virtual Print server & Papercut (up to date) Windows 7 Pro clients Latest drivers on the print server & clients This is affecting most users.... Printing e.g. photo's 4-Up via the Windows print wizard - Photos begin to print but only print a centimeter of each photo. All other documents print fine. 9-Up and Contact sheets print fine. Looks like just 2-Up and 4-Up are affected. If I USB connect a laptop to the MFP it will print fine - same driver. If I use the print driver to configure it to print 4-Up... it works fine. Our reseller tells me it a problem with the Windows print wizard (seems to be) but I can print to a laser printer of another brand no problem with the same wizard. Any idea's cuz I'm properly stuck ??? Cheers in advance.

This is my code. Zip this up with all your images (no subfolders) and name the page 'index.html'.

No. I did it from the web interface. Piece of cake.

Here's a theory then.... The longer adults work with children their roles reverse. Children become more adult. Teachers become more infantile. You all know what I mean !

I might be right... Adobe AIR Runtime Distribution | Adobe

You probably did this already but have you signed up for Adobe Redistribution. I have a feeling that Air might be there. Could be thinking of Reader tho'.

Sigh. How true.

In my experience, primary staff have lesser IT abilities that their counterparts. Very 'will you do it for me'. Also age is a factor. Our young'uns fly with it and are very creative especially with online/cloud stuff.

Am I going blind? O365 Video. Where is the delete button to delete a video I have uploaded ? Cheers in advance

For me the most awesome .msi creator is Advanced Installer And its free. Works every time for me

Give av a ring maybe. At least they might find you one that suits.
