great idea i have now activated this and am awaiting a tug on the line! thanks Osprey

i am having a folder violation in a 'common area' folder that all students have read and write permissions on, the folder background is being changerd on a regular basis, i can change this back with IESHWIZ.exe but its getting annoying, i have right click disabled and all the usual illegal application assigned, i cant see how they are doing it? does anyone have any ideas on how i can either trace who is doing it or how i can stop this?

OK thanks, I have excluded a 254 IP range from the existing DHCP leases and would have liked to have DHCP on the new domain is this 'doable', and could i now create this new domain DNS, DHCP, on the LAN or would i need to do anything else to stop service conflictions?

I would like to build a replacement domain in the school i work at but i only have 1 LAN, can i simply exclude some DHCP address from the current domain and place the new domain on the pinched IP addresses to build and test the new domain? i cant see how DHCP would work as when a client plugged into the LAN it would see 2 conflicing DC's, DHCP server DNS etc. (i have tryed to get an extra LAN from SWGFL but they are taking forever to get back to me)
