any chance of getting a copy of the echange 2k3 restrictions process? i am at this point now myself and would welcome some guidance. this link above doesn't work i assume because its an old post. many thanks STU

many thanks Lionofbrum, i have PM'd you my email address. Stu

thanks notalot, i have been doing this periodically as well, however in this case the users in question hadn't logged onto the affected laptops!! i am very perplexed

Ok All, i have a weird one. yesterday for some reason when my teachers logon or logoff and the 'my docs' sync kicks in it not only does there homepath but also several of the others!! i have made no changes to the GPO for some weeks now and at am a total loss as to what is causing this. any ideas fellow geekers? Stu

Hey Thanks E.T. they have come out 230 each so i will look through the PSL and see whats what. thanks for the heads up.

yeah thanks PM gona try that one this morning SS

Rob/James thanks guys. looks like a no no for me unless i can blag xp pro out of it. really appreciate your fast replies.

Hi all, i need to beef up my ict suite and have to do it as cheaply as possible. i have noticed that Novatech are doing the ION pc-1222 for £205. however it is xp home. can someone tell me how this will interact with svr2k3? am i looking at some issues or will connect quite happily. many thanks SS

Thanks FN-GM, i will have a sniff about. Stu

hello fellow geeks, i have just set up an exchange 2003 server and created the mailboxes for all the students. what i need to do now is set up roaming profiles for each one. i have done this but am having an issue with the outlook stuff. i think i have sussed the ost/pst issue by sticking it on a network share but the mailbox is proving a pain. at present it seems i have to log on to each user, then start outlook and set create the first outlook profile that way. when its created i then have to go back in and change it to point at the mailbox on the exchange server and not the local one. how can i do this without having to log on to each user account? thanks in advance Stu.

yeah, as far as i know. i have located the dodgy router (by a process of elimination) and switched it off. the two laps that were left were just hanging onto the addresses i think. i recycled the card which did the trick. i am now jumping on the phone to the supplier to get someone in to sort this. thanks everyone for all your input. Stu

yeah they do but i cant access them via the assigned ip and on the odd occasion when i have got through the supplied username and password dont work. (hence the rather heated phone call this week to the supplier) i thought i had sussed it as by switching off one of the routers i was getting evryone back online. i have two left that it doesn't work for though which is kinda blowing my theory out the water.

i see where your coming from now. we only have one dhcp and as far as i can see its only issueing our 10.132.16 range. thats all that is in the address pool anyway. i am wondering if one of the sonicwalls is acting as a dhcp but i cant access them to find out. i am gona switch them off one at a time and see whether that range stops getting transmitted. i'll keep you posted.

ok powered off/on all routers and re-connected to the school network re-entering the wep key. still have the same issue. however, i mislead you before i cant see the server (my dyslexia kicked in again!) i can only ping a 192.168.11.1 which i cant find either!

i am using sonicwall's. i think they must be the problem as i cant access them. it is probably just one or two of them as some laptops are ok. i am going to try resetting all of them and see what that does. thanks guys, really appreciate your help on this one. Stu.
