Photoshop Gimp or gimpshop if you need menus etc to match photoshop

Hi, It is in the attributes of the AD account... look for proxyAddress The default email will be in capitals e.g. SMTP:[email protected] Aliases are lower case e.g. smtp:[email protected] Hope that helps

Agreed...I have read of some zend framework mucking up mysql_connect for some reason but I have not used zend really
-
I am not totally sure but would it be something like $list = Import-Csv C:\computers.csv foreach($entry in $list) { Your command replacing the parts of the line with list entry } eg New-ADComputer -Path "CN=CampusComputers,DC=AllStudents,DC=local" -Name $($entry.computerName) -SamAccountName $($entry.samAccount) -DisplayName $($entry.displayName) -Description $($entry.description) -Location $($rentry.location) -Enabled $true This assuming your list has Name, SamAccountName, DiplayName, Description and Location in the csv I am not sure if this is right as I do not have much experience in powershell...I will try test it here to and see my own mistake
-
Not a problem at all...glad you got it all working again Not sure I done much really but good stuff... Have fun
-
Can you check something for me please... in your php.ini is the following uncommented to php_mysqli.dll having a quick look most sites suggest mysql is enabled by default
-
Interesting...I would of thought you would find a whole block for mysql...the first part of the block with MySQL Support enabled it sound to me that php is not loading the mysql externsion...phpmyadmin is a great piece of kit for admin of MySQL...but it will fail to connect if your php is not running mysql extension I google windows php install to see how the dll are stored and post back asasp
-
Any joy?
-
also make sure php has mysql set in the php.ini...when you run your phpinfo page does it contain the mysql settings?
-
mysql_connect would indeed be the connection to mysql database...so I would check to see if it running using mTail or looking through logs you can find most point at which php is falling over
-
have you ever used an app called mTail? Its the same as tail in Linux...point it at the log and it will pump the latest entries going to the log, then you can refresh the page and see what is being created in the log here you go if your interested http://ophilipp.free.fr/op_tail.htm

They are a few years old but I think that would be the quickest/best option right now and I will see in September if I can get funding for new kit
-
In his defense, I am a Linux fan to I was hoping I would get some rep for apologizing for him Right I am gonna kick him into getting some of the old hardware out...we will let you know how its all going I'm sure
-
Does your simple php info page work? I have not had much experience running php on windows but have loads running on Linux...LAMP server
-
Thank you both...you have had great input money is always an issue with us but I do have some old HP Proliant DL380 G5 generation that I could make a temp server on until we get the funding or we have enough storage on our VM san to house it We have gotta get a move on I guess...I really appreciate the thoughts/comments and advice from you all...just ignore shadowx, he is young he is good really just not so keen on MS/Apple/Blackberry/Olympics or anything that is not Linux really Its not a quick or impossible job but the jobs from it could be interesting, one I can think of is having to alter all our backups that we have housed externally anyway I am sure we will post updates/questions for you to follow up on...I look forward to then Thanks once more
-
Thank you... Now can I ask, what would we gain from using VM rather than using hardware to cluster File Services? If we use a VM for file services, as you suggest it can be recovered by a snapshot but during that time I would assume the file access will be unavailable to anyone...if we use hardware to cluster it then surely we have a little more redundancy for failure and keeping the data available to stop the moans, not that staff moan of course, just an example Sorry to keep going over the same point, I just want to get this moving... The aim is to end with DCs being on their own as recommended
-
The SAN and files are currently set up for a clustered solution...would one virtual server be able to use them LUNs or would we need to re-create them... If we create one virtual file services server we would not be able to cover software failure or is best to not worry about that for file services? thanks
-
Here is our theory...point out my obvious mistakes please... 1. Create two new servers and add to existing cluster for File Services and DHCP 2. Create a temp DC3 for luck 3. Remove clustering from DC1 (remove DC from cluster) and demote 4. Rebuild DC1 as new server and promote 5. DC1 FSMO 6. Demote DC2 7. Rebuild DC2 and promote If the theory is right we will end up with 3 DC server, one of which will be temp DC3. We will have two servers running as file servers/dhcp in cluster All sound good in my head...probably not though
-
Well there is no space left on the SAN to create new LUNs but I was just thinking, CSV would be for clustered storage...If we was to create a virtual file server for file services why would it be using clustered shared volumes?
-
Thanks beard...I was just reading about if the Virtual Host or Virtual Server should have the iSCSI Initiator Software, although it is slightly slower to put it on the virtual server, it will work... I will look at the SAN, as you said we would need to remake or use fresh LUNs which will cause a massive headache for existing data once again thanks for the response
-
Good thing is...I have a lot of junk on my desk and he is within throwing distance Thanks for the comments...we will need to look in to moving the DCs...flat file systems, like Linux, are much easier, DHCP and DNS was mounted when used buy the node server and the eDirectory was replicated across most of the servers...thanks for all the posts, I am learning to think more MS by the day
-
Lies....he thinks he is better than everyone watch he will correct my English now
-
Thanks...the way we have file services set is via iSCSI as we could not afford fibre...we have two SANS, one used to store the VM images and one used for File Storage basically...so if we was to virtual the File Services we would then need to connect via iSCSI to the other SAN for storage...I am assuming this is possible with MS Hyper-V?
-
I think we will look at moving in this route...I do like point 14 but I am not sure there is less tedious work on our list... We only moved to MS last summer and a very fast pace, as mentioned by shadowx...Novell seemed to have greater stability for our style system but I think we need to think more MS... The main problem, as usual, was finance so we went with 2 clusters...one for hyper-v to virtual pretty much every other server we required and installed file services on the DC...which now I understand is a bad idea Question...do you run your file services as hardware servers? Thanks for all the great posts

We was ok with Mac, Linux and Windows and smoothwall but we was using ident authentication at the time. This year we have set to NTLM auth which makes a problem with Macs, iPads etc..
