We have had problems with the toshiba wireless before. Is Windows managing the wireless or the toshiba utility? If I recall correctly we swapped from using the Toshiba util to the windows util and that worked much more reliably. Have you tried removing all the other crap that toshiba loads up at startup in MSConfig, just leaving your antivirus. Regards Gary

Hi, I had previsouly installed exchange 2007 on a 2008 member server, I have now upgraded that member server to AD by running DCPROMO. As exchange was already installed the tabs are missing in Active Directory Users and Computers for exchange. how do I add them?

Hi, we have a 2008 server running terminal services and we are utilising the TS Web Access feature to allow users to connect to Outlook for example. the problem is the connection drops out every few minutes with the error : "the network connection to the remote computer was lost" This happens from most remote sites, with different client O/S's Vista with SP1 or XP with SP3. I dont beleive there is an issue with the connection at our office where the 2008 server is, we can RDP into other servers there without the connection dropping fine. Any assistance would be much apprechiated as the new 2008 Web Access Feature is fantastic and we really want to roll it out to more users. Currently there are only one or two people using it due to this issue.

Thanks all, I used the script above and it worked a dream.

Hi, yes it's just a primary school.

Thanks, I did look at this but wasn't quite sure if it would do what I required: for /D %%i in (*) do ( subinacl /file %%i /grant=yourdomain\%%i=C "/grant=yourdomain\domain admins=f" /grant=yourdomain\AreaViewer=c /setowner=yourdomain\%%i subinacl /subdirectories %%i\* /grant=yourdomain\%%i=f "/grant=yourdomain\domain admins=f" /grant=yourdomain\AreaViewer=r /setowner=yourdomain\%%i ) I presume you run this from the c:\home folder (or whichever folder is the root of your home drives) and then it runs through all the subfolders setting the permissions according to the name of the sub folder, i.e. fred gets permission over the fred folder, bill gets permission over the bill folder etc, is that correct? P.S. Whats the AreaViewer part? Regards Gary

Ok, we have around 100 pupils on our network with a home directory for each user under the home$ share : \\server\home$\%username% THe permissions are wrong on the majority of these folders and I need to reset them so that the administrator has full control, the teachers group has RW and the actual pupil has RW. Has anyone got a script that will reset these permissions for me automatically, Its easy enough to add a specific group, but I am struggling to go through the whole structure with a script and set the permission for the specific pupil for their specific home folder. Please help ! Regards Gary

We use ESET NOD32. Great product! very low overhead and much better detection than symantec. Read an independant review here: http://anti-virus-software-review.toptenreviews.com/eset-nod32-review.html

We have some teachers which operate in 2 different schools, with 2 different domains. Is in possible to join an XP pro laptop to more than 1 domain?

Eset will provide tools to mass-uninstall, see here http://www.eset.co.uk/download/av-uninstallers.php also see here for a good guide on how to install the http://www.eset.com/training/index.php

Hi, you can use the msiexec command to unistall software, obviously try this with care on one or two machines before rolling it right out ! use: msiexec/x {Package | ProductCode} Parameters /x uninstalls a product. Package - Name of the Windows Installer package file. ProductCode - Globally unique identifier (GUID) of the Windows Installer package. THe GUID can be found for Mcafee (or any other product) in the registry, but can;t quite recall where!

This is a common problem with 2000 and 2003 server, it's to do with the way that Removable storage Manager manages media. We use this following script to run our backups, which works a treat: rsm.exe refresh /LF"HP C1537A SCSI Sequential Device" sleep 30 for /f "Tokens=1-4 Delims=/ " %%i in ('date /t') do set dt=%%i-%%j-%%k-%%l for /f "Tokens=1" %%i in ('time /t') do set tm=-%%i set tm=%tm::=-% set dtt=%dt%%tm% c:\windows\system32\ntbackup.exe backup "@C:\backup\daily.bks" /n "%computername%-%dtt%" /d "daily %dtt%" /v:no /r:no /rs:no /hc:on /m normal /j "daily %dtt%" /l:s /p "4mm DDS" /UM rsm.exe eject /PF"%computername%-%dtt% - 1" /astart exit Replace "HP C1537A SCSI Sequential Device" with the actual name of your drive out of Device Manager Replace c:\backup\daily.bks, with the name of your backup selection file (saved selections from NTBACKUP) Replace "4mm DDS" with the type of media that you are using (This shows in NTBACKUP and could be DLT for example) Sleep.exe, just creates a pause and can be downloaded from the Windows 2003 Resource kit on http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=9D467A69-57FF-4AE7-96EE-B18C4790CFFD

Hi, Looking to deploy TuxType (http://sourceforge.net/projects/tuxtype) via group policy, it's an exe rather than an msi download. Does anyone have any preferred methods for deploying software such as this please. New to the forum by the way ! Regards Gary
