Can anyone on here kindly explain why this would be happening? I don't really fance going to every PC delelting certain docs and settings folders

Thank you for your responses. Sted, if this is what is causing the problem could I do something remotely as I have 500 clients in my environment. Why would this only happen on my 2008R2 DC and work fine on the 2003 ones?

Hi there, we are experiecing profile issues in our 2003 domain with our newly added 2008R2 Domain Controller. Users receiving the following image when the 2008R2 DC authenticates them: http://filedb.experts-exchange.com/incoming/2010/07_w28/t324554/User-Environment.jpg This only happens on this DC, the other two 2003 DCs run happily without any problems. Can anyone advise me what I need to do as i'm banging my head at the wall at the moment NB: This is the first DC to move from 2003 to 2008R2. Regards Simon

Hi all, I am finding it exteremly diffitcult to get my hands on Win 7 Enterprise, can anyone on here point me in the right direction? I have spoken to my Software reseller and they have told me I am allowed to install Enterprise within our agreement however they can only ship a Win 7 pro disk. So confused

Thanks all. Here are the steps I followed for others who may be curious. 1. Deleted the target sites Site-Links. 2. Verified that the sites Servers container was empty, both through the MMC and in ADSIEDIT. 3. Associated the sites remaining Subnet with another site. 4. Deleted site clicking "Yes" to "Are you sure you want to delete object sitename and all of the objects it contains?" 5. Deleted Subnet.

Thanks for quick reply, Just gone to delete NT-6 and now asked if I want to use delete subtree server control. Warning seems to serious for me to just go ahead and do it, so I thought I will quickly ask here before continuing

OK, I joined and promoted our sixthform sever as a DC on our domain. However I'm having replication issues.

I checked AD sites and services and saw NT-6 is still there with its NTDS settings. Can I just delete it or would more be required?

Thank you all for your advice. I will add the server to our domain and currently leave it in AD mixed mode and maybe look at moving to native in the summer. I just need advice on AD sites as this section is all new to me.

OK, thank you.

Do you have any good guides/URL links I could follow regarding Sites? Thank you for your quick responses.

When you say make it a single domain, do you mean a child domain? If so, would parent and child users need to login as DOMAIN\User when going to a different location?

Hi edugeekers, I hope I have posted in the right section, if not, i'm sure the lovely mods here could move it to the right one for me Right, our secondary school is opening a brand new sixth form centre in its own new separate building this September. I have been asked to implement a network solution where staff and students from the secondary school can logon to the sixth form computers and vice versa (sixth form students and staff can logon to the schools network. Sounds easy huh, well heres my dilemma. Our school is currenly operating in a 2003 domain with XP as its clients. I have been instructed by senior staff to deploy Windows 7 in the sixth form centre. I have currently bought a HP DL380 G7 server and installed 2008R2 Enterprise but before I join it to our domain and promote it to a DC, I want to know which approach I should take. Do I make this server a child domain for the sixth form centre or just add it to the domain as our first 2008R2 DC (I have already done adprep on my 2003 domain) or do you have a better idea, which you would like to share? If I choose my second approach and keep my network on one single domain, how do I force my win7 clients to authenticate to my 2008r2 server rather than the other DCs I have on my network? I want to keep as much network traffic in the new sixth form building in the sixth form building! I look forward to hearing your views. Regards, Techie2008
