I get this in Pembrokeshire - no matter what size the file is once it gets over a certain threshold - of say 10mb for example - it seems to time out at 75% or so

Right, I have had this problem - let me start by asking - are you using any form of Internet Filtering?

This is the situation at present. Server 2008 R2 running as a DC. It was set up with a static IP address on one NIC, with another disabled and everything run fine. I enabled the second NIC, (it isn't connected to the network) and installed Hyper V. DNS then throws a wobbly about it having a 169.254.*.* IP address. At the moment Microsoft Virtual Switch Protocol is disabled. I have unticked the 'register with DNS'.

Should I assign a static IP to the second NIC when i enable it for Hyper V? I'll be assigning the same default gateway for the second NIC as the first, will this cause any problems?

I have all my student folders set on my Windows 2003 Server in a share called pupils, and then their username. Ofcourse, when these directories were created in Active Directory Users and Computers, I set the Home Folder to the path - \\server2003\pupils\~username~. All the permissions for these folders are then soley for the user. Is ther any way to give my staff group read access to these folders, and the administrators full control without having to take ownership as the administrator and set the permissions on the individual users again?

1) I need to set up a new Windows 2008R2 server with the following roles – Active Directory / DNS / DHCP / Hyper V First attempt I have set this box up as follows…… The server has two Broadcom NIC’s which I set up as a team using the Broadcom software. A new virtual adapter is created called Team 1. (I configured this with a static IP address 10.10.1.1. I unticked the IPv6 box in the NIC properties.) When I went to promote the machine to a DC – is stated that not all NICS had static IP address assigned. (I don’t understand this as AD must be looking at the actual NIC’s rather than the Virtual NIC - anyone else seen this???). Hyper V also used this Team then as the NIC for its Virual Network Card. (So the Host OS and Hyper V Virtual adapter ended up using the same NIC called “Team 1”). At his point DHCP would server would not work – the event viewer shows the folloing message "The DHCP service is not servicing any DHCPv4 clients because none of the active network interfaces have statically configured IPv4 addresses, or there are no active interfaces." I’m glad to see I’m not the only one having this problem – as this technet article explains the situation better than I have above! DHCP server not servicing requests Anyway, i ended up with a box where DHCP wouldn't allocate clients nor would DNS start automatically. 2) I'm going to reinstall the OS I’m hoping you can advise me in what the best solution is on a way forward here? a) Should I set up the Host OS using a single NIC and leaving the second NIC for Hyper V? 3) If this is the case, should I statically assign the first NIC with a fixed IP address and disable the second NIC when I set up AD? Also – should I always untick IPv6 in the NIC properties if I only want to use IPv4 currently? 4) Can I then install Hyper-V and assign the second NIC in the server for virtualization? What IP address do I need to set there? As if I set the default gateway on the second NIC used for Virtualization to the same as the first NIC (used by the Host OS) it throws up an error message! Hope that all makes sense - and someone can stop me from having a major sweat!

So I have just changed the first option in GP "Allow or Disallow use of the offline Files feature" - hopefully this will do the trick. I've also got a folder redirect from my documents to the users homedrive, so if the user changes a file in my documents that change is reflected on the homedrive immediatly?

Does this have to be done on Group Policy on the individual machine? Or can this be done on the Server's GP? Cheers for all the help on this one. Are IT Teachers sent from heaven to stress IT Techies?

Can you tell me how you have achieved that? I have done it via GP on the server, and folder redirection. But it insists on marking each file with a silly blue icon and does the redirection which everyone at...

Well that was my next question. Up until now I have used GP to force Microsoft Apps to point directly to the Z: when opening and saving. I used GP today to redirect the contents of my documents to their home directory - but it isn't true redirection - it appears to sycronize when a user logs off - and I don't really want that as it takes forver if a user has a large amount of files. What I need is for it to appear as if it is being saved in my documents - but actually saving direct to their homedrive - the syncronization is the problem for me.

I have Macromedia Studio 8 set up on my Windows XP Clients on my Windows 2003 Server Network. When Users log in, their default path for opening and saving files is the My Documents folder. I am needing to change this to the users home drive, in my case is Z: Anyone have any ideas if this can be done?
