Hello all I have a problemwith spam on our network and I think its from a compromised email account. What steps should I take to remove the problem I ask this as I have had no training on how to deal with this issue or how to manage Exchange Server. Would getting all of our staff to have their account passwords changed be the first step Thanks

Will do Ta

Hello again. server 2008r2 windows 7 laptop exchange server for emails A teacher complained that she could not login to her laptop. I checked the AD to find her user, and it had disappeared. I re-created her as a user on the domain. I asked her to login on her laptop and everything was fine. 10 minutes later the same thing happened again??? any ideas Thanks

Sorted I typed in http://localsource/fog/management and it came up with a message that fog needed updating I pressed update and voila So what is the difference between http://10.6.185.6/fog/management and http://localsource/fog/management Moving onto playing with fog This should be another laugh Ta again

Fog setup complete It tells me to open http://10.6.185.6/fog/management but I get a error ACCESS DENIED Do I need to change some settings on the proxy server Ta

Hi again I have installed ubuntu 10.04 lsv Just downloading the fog 0.32 tar I am using Ubuntu 10.04 - FOGProject Wiki and its telling me to setup a static IP Address Can you clarify What should I put in the settings? Ta

Been trying to install UBUNTU and then FOG. What a laugh it has been...On and off 4 days. Tried a few different tutorials but there is always problem. I am not LINUX literate but I am learning fast. I was going to give up but I am going to have another go tomorrow. If anyone has the time to help I would be very very grateful I am going to use the guide from https://dl.dropbox.com/u/9458832/Ubuntu%20install%20guide.pdf if anyone want to follow me along. I have lots of stupid questions to ask about linux repositories, keys, sudo, bash etc Ta Frustrated but not beaten yet!

Thanks for that I will try that tomorrow Ta again

Ta Liam I did consider that option as well.....I will have another look at it... Just anxious that I knack up the server installing it over the summer hols... Is it easy to install Ta John

Hi all. I have 35 new laptops. I have installed extra programs and made one a "master" I need to clone the other laptops. I can use a "Clonezilla" disk to do them one at a time........takes ages What about running "Clonezilla" from a 2008r2 server would that be difficult to set up. I did try to install UBUNTU on the server but the server was not too happy about that and said there was a permission problem. Any tips Ta

I found out that there was a dodgy tape in the tape drive which I removed. I tried everything again "scan" "inventory" etc. I discovered that the offline tapes were full. I got fed up and moved them. all(offline) to the "scratch" area. I done test run of the backup and it worked. I then started a full backup and it started OK. See what happens to morrow? TA

Okay ..will try that tomorrow Thanks TA

I managed to get a full backup done and I removed the tape for safety... Now its playing up again. Everything I do (Initiate, Inventory, Test,) always comes back with a media problem ........and with the additional problem of 6 tapes offline . Used the Dell TL2000 interface to do an inventory etc but it still say there is a tape problem. My simple mind tells me to take all of the tapes out and try again from scratch. Is it possible that I could add one tape at a time and format them then do an inventory to get them back on line Ta.

SIMs was installed for a trial on the eportal server....(Nobody officially informed me!). Then they wonder why eportal was not working. When SIMS was installed it took charge of port 8080............then eportal broke. They then set up eportal to use 8081. and it worked...................... When I installed an update for eportal (remember I did not know this info) eportal broke again! I have since found out how to change the settings using the .XML file that is stored in the eportal config file... I know doing a trial run with SIMS on the Facility Server is going to cause problems...But "Them upstairs" dont! TA

Thanks for that... Our default mis is eportal......but someone decided that they would like to run SIMS. I was not tasked for the job or involved. the conflict of ports crashed eportal. Support has set up port 8015 for eportal but when a backup was done it changed its port and crashed. This info will help me lots Thanks TA

There was no media data tapes available, as the dates for them( period of time to keep data etc) were all screwed up I reset the properties of the tapes to NONE and the backup started working. All I need to do is to set up the dates properly later Thanks again TA

More like SIMS killing EPORTAL. Sims should be using port 8080 Eportal should be using 8081 but its using 8015 and I dont know how to change it back! Ta

Hi all The state of play is this... a. One year ago new server 2008 R2 installed by Dell. (I have no support). b. "Backup Exec" and a Dell TL 2000 Tape Drive installed by Dell. c. Dell configured the backup strategy. (The persons in charged failed to arrange any training for me on the systems. When the "Backups" started to fail my newly appointed boss decided to bring in her own "outside" support to assist. The support person did manage to get it working to a degree but it still fails to do "full" backups etc. Now the new boss has withdrawn that support and I am left with a broken backup server !) State of play today... a. Both differential and full backups are failing to run. b. The tapes that were allocated to do the "Full Backup" are highlighted as offline. c. The error messages indicate that the media is not available I have tried lots of ideas to fix this but no luck and I now have no support............ I have considered using the admin guide to start a complete new fresh backup stratetgy using the 16 tapes that are already in the tape drive. (I have 3 tapes that contain previous backups set aside) Is this possible to achieve a new fresh backup strategy using the old tapes with Backup Exec. Do the tapes need formatting etc I am on my own with this one and need to get it running. Any Suggestions Ta

Thanks again. caution will be observed

Thanks very much. I shall give that a go tomorrow. thanks again TA

Thank you , thank you. thank you......for the info and the quick response. I shall try this tomorrow and report back. Ta

Hi again Backup not working...incremental and full. Backup Exec 2012 reports error ......tapes are not online.....no media available How do I go about getting the tapes back online It is a DELL TL2000 tape drive Ta

Hi all again, feel like a wooss having to ask these simple requests, but I am really grateful! Unbelievably....We have on our server SIMS using port 8080 and CMIS using 8081 eportal worked aok I had to upgrade mis and eportal and now eportal does not work Some suggested that the ports have probably got mixed up owing to the upgrade and that eportal is using in conflict with SIMS. How do I check what ports are allocated and in use? Thanks very much

Thanks Glenda and Sted for helping me . The article explained it a treat.

Hi again. I am the administrator for our network. To help me with some of the tasks..... I created another administrator and showed him how to change passwords for pupils etc. I have been instructed by our Head that she does not want this other administrator to be an administrator but she still wants him to be able to changed passwords for thepupils Any ideas.... Should I change him to a Power User ? Ta
