Hi. My DC is still running on Server 2003, but I'd like to run a DC on Server 2008 in a test environment as we are planning to roll-out Windows 7 quite soon and I want to get to grips with .admx templates etc. My question is, is it possible to have two DCs running on two different Operating Systems? Also, if I alter the group policy templates on the Server 2008 DC will this scupper the templates on the 2003 Server? If I haven't explained this very well its because I've run out of coffee. Thanks!

Is it not easier to set it up using a local tcp/ip port instead?

Jim Jefferies is the epitome of offensive jokes. If your into crude/offensive stuff check out his 'Alcoholacaust' DVD.

For some reason, we cannot see the search bar underneath the Google logo, so nobody can do a search!! Anyone else experiencing this??

Got to say I'm disappointed with MW3. Not much has changed from COD4 it seems. Even one of the buildings in MW3 was on the Pipeline map in COD4. Thats just lazy! Saying that however, I've been glued to it since I bought it yesterday

ERGO Computing. Excellent company to work with and their after-sales support is really good. Not pushy in the slightest.

btw - is this something to do with NTUser.man?

Hi Andrew. Thanks for this - I have seen this fix somewhere before and I couldnt figure out how to add it to the mandatory profile. How did you do it? I've also seen a fix for editing permissions/ownership on the .msg registry key. Thanks.

Hi. We installed Office 2010 throughout the school during the Summer holidays. However, when a user opens any of the office software it wants to reconfigure - this can take quite a long time on the older computers. There are a lot of people with similar problems out there but (suprise suprise) Microsoft doesn't seem to have a complete fix for it. We have tried several methods to resolve it, including registry cleaning, uninstallation of previous Office versions, fresh Ghost images, installing Office 2010 as a local admin, etc. etc. It is so frustrating! Sometimes Office will not reconfigure itself for days so when we think we've resolved the problem it suddenly comes back. Has anyone encountered similar problems? Thanks.

If we replaced the current hard drives one-by-one, wouldnt this 'break' the existing RAID configuration? Or could you allow the data to stripe across each new hard drive one at a time?

Yep. We had hard quotas in place but then changed this to soft quotas as the Art and Design students were unable to save their stupidly large files.

Hi. I have a Dell PowerEdge 2900 with 8x 300Gb HDDs in a RAID-5 configuration. I only have 240Gb left before I am out of space and I fully expect this to be gone by this time next year. I don't have enough in my budget to afford a NAS/SAN solution so I'm panicing a little bit! I can't expand the RAID so purchasing some extra disks is not an option. What would you suggest as a relatively inexpensive method to resolve this inevitable problem? I've already got quotas in place and free'd up as much space as possible. Thanks!

Have Microsoft released a .MSI of V4 yet?

I'm experiencing the same problem so any solution to this problem would be greatly appreciated.

HappyMeal - don't suppose you have a copy of your script do you?

Hi. During the Summer holidays I intend to upgrade every computer in the School from Office 2003 to Office 2010. My initial thought was to update our Ghost images and install Office 2010 on a new image before rolling this out to all of the computers. However, I'm not sure if this would work now that you have to register your licences on your KMS Server. Can anyone confirm that this method of rollout will work? If not, what would you suggest? I'm reluctant to roll out using Group Policy but if this is the best method I'll give it a crack. This article I have found seems to suggest that Group Policy is the best method: How to deploy office 2010 using GPO and OCT. - Spiceworks Community Thanks. Alan.

Exmerge is only for Exchange 2000 and 2003 isn't it?

Just in case this happens to anyone in the future, here is how I managed to solve the problem... In Exchange Management Shell: Get-Mailbox -Server exchangeservername | Add-MailboxPermission -User administrator -AccessRights Fullaccess -InheritanceType all Get-Mailbox –ResultSize Unlimited -Server exchangeservername | Export-Mailbox -ContentKeywords "write here a part of the email body exact" -StartDate "07/07/2011" –DeleteContent Note: if you want to do this for 1 recipient rather than every mailbox, change ‘-Server’ to –‘Identity’

Thanks ChrisMiles - this appeared to work. Our major headache is that the subject line was left blank so we had to amend the PowerShell script to say Export-Mailbox -ContentKeywords " " Panic Over!

We have dismounted the student email database in the meantime so fingers crossed the suggestions above will work. Cheers.

Hi. Really urgent help needed. A member of staff has accidentely sent a private and confidential email to ALL of our Year 10 students. Luckily they are not in today. Is it possible to prevent these students seeing the email even though the message has already been sent? I think I know the answer but worth a shot. We are running Exchange 2007 if that helps. Thanks!

Hi. Quick question - I bought an external connector licence for SharePoint 2007 but now we are looking at upgrading to SharePoint 2010. Does this external connector licence cover me for use with 2010 or do I have to fork out for it all over again? Thanks. Alan.

A really simply and crude way to do this is to use something like a Docking and Cloning Station - USB 2.0 & eSATA Docking & Cloning Station for 2.5" & 3.5" SATA Hard Drives | SATA & eSATA | Drive Enclosures | Hardware & Security | LINDY UK

Hi. I'm sure this has been done already in multiple threads but I thought I'd share with you how I've managed to get my computers pxe-booting to Ghost over the network in just FOUR steps... Do all of these steps on your Ghost Server!! 1: Install 3Com PXE Boot Services This is on the GHOST Installation CD under ‘extras’. If you don’t have the CD search for ‘master.exe’ in the ‘extras’ folder. By default, only the Administrator option is selected, which will install only the management tools. Remember to change this to Server during the install. Accept all other defaults. After installation, start the 3Com PXE Server and 3Com TFTP Server services (services.msc). Set the startup type to Automatic. 2: Create a Network Boot Image Start Ghost Boot Wizard, and select option: TCP/IP Network Boot Image. Select PC-DOS, then select the universal driver, and store the boot image in the C:\TFTPBOOT directory. 3: Create a PXE boot menu Using the 3Com Boot Image Editor, select Create a PXE Menu Boot File. Click Add and select Boot From Hard Drive as the default entry, then click Add again to create a second entry containing your boot image file (the .sys file you just created in step 2). Save the file. 4. Create an entry in the BootPTab control file Start the 3Com BootPTab editor. Delete the existing entries and go to Edit > Add Host… - add a wildcard host id "????????????" as a node identifier, and point it at the PXE Menu Boot File that you created in step 3. Hope this is useful. Alan
