Dear all Our laptop users do not copy or save files on the network, one has now killed his hard disk and all the files are lost unless we pay for emergency recovery (the disk isnt recognised and will not spin up)
we run in mixed mode with nt4 2000 and 2003 servers the files are mainly stored on 2000 machines the laptops all run windows xp sp3 with all current updates Laptops use VPN to access the network and occasionally are actually in the office I tried the synchronise files options but some machine went strange preferring not to sync and use local copies older than the network ones, is this just an isolated occurrence has anyone else had these problems (i had to re create the users profiles to fix the problem) Is this the best way or would it be more advisable to just get the users to save files and copy them manually onto the network (although they will need to remember to do this) Any help would be most welcome because if the sales managers machine goes then it could be I am looking fo another job :-( Nigel Parker Systems Engineer Ultraframe (UK) Ltd Tel: 01200 452329 Fax: 01200 452201 Web: <www.ultraframe.com> Email: <mailto:[email protected]> Please consider the environment before printing this e-mail Ultraframe design and manufacture innovative and quality conservatory solutions to suit all styles, all applications, all consumers and every price point.
