[NTSysADM] Using GPO to allow pop-ups and to set compatibility settings

Today we start rolling out a new VOIP phone system (I haven't been involved with any of this). This morning I get an email, saying that some of our staff will need to access the system via a web interface, and that we need to turn off pop-up blockers for that site, and to add this site to

In light of the advice you guys provided yesterday, I deleted everything out of appdata\Roaming\Outlook, both the xml files and the srs files. I'm still getting this weird profile thing where when it creates a profile, it is autopopulating those fields from my office 365 account (where did it

RE: [NTSysADM] What is the argument for Windows Server Core/NanoServer over Linux?

Yes, people usually do run Linux servers without a GUI. What I meant was that you can use Windows *Server Core or Nano* to avoid the Windows GUI, thus not having to use Linux to get those benefits. As someone else said, it depends on what the application is as to what platform is more

Apparently, a long time back, I did add my internal domain to the "Trusted Sites" zone via a GPP registry setting, as well as pushing out my internal CA cert. (just goes to shwo, getting old sucks. Only thing worse is not getting old ..) Anyway, when I go to the new VOIP server, and try to log in

Haven't seen this but if it doesn't follow through a restart, try tapping the esc key and see if it fixes it, as that is the common workaround for several weird windows interface bugs like this when they crop up. If not, it sort of sounds like it could be an IE zone settings issue as well, so

RE: [NTSysADM] What is the argument for Windows Server Core/NanoServer over Linux?

Running Core and Nano does not mean running without a GUI, they mean running without a GUI locally. The majority of the server management GUI tools can connect to a remote server (Core, Nano or Desktop), it is a matter of having your firewall and authentication setup to allow this. The

I prefer remote management, actually. The insane thing is how easy it is to build out Nano servers. That another reason; not having a local GUI will prevent me from always using RDP; trying to move away from that as much as possible. -Original Message- From:

Just getting caught up, I don't see that anyone has mentioned it but compatibility view is horrible and it has all sorts of limitations, including that it really only handles addresses out to two domain levels. So for example, you can add xyz.foo.edu, but it actually will put all of foo.edu
