OT: Backup Exec Help
This is off topic but I figured there are a few Backup Exec experts out there. If anybody as seen this can you let me know. Thanks. System: WinNT 4.0 SP6a. Backup Exec v6.11 Problem: We changed our Backup Exec services to use a new Services User account that has Domain Admin user rights. But since then Backup exec has had problems accessing some systems (seems to be more Win2k systems). Here is the Backup Exec log file entry Unable to attach to \\I3SRV\D$. Here is what I find in Windows event log An attempt to establish a network connection to \\computer failed. Error 5. It seems to me to be a rights problem but I've check that. I've tried hunting around Veritas support site but haven't found a solution yet. Does anybody know what Error 5 means? I'm guessing Access Denied. Any help would be appreciated.

RE: Autoforwarding Rules.
Don't know about OL98 but in 2000 you can setup one rule that will move selected e-mails into a folder of your choosing and foward it to another users. Two rules for the price of one. :) Just select the Move it to the specified folder Forward it to people or distribution list options.

This user says that somebody else had it setup, but I can't find a rule like that anywhere. The only rules I see are ones to deliver mail to a particular folder, not to automatically forward mail onto another user.

RE: Nimda
Sure I make my living supporting Microsoft's software too but you do have to admit that there are some features in outlook and many other Microsoft products that seemed like a good thing at the time but only make our lives entertaining. Personally I see no need for HTML/scripting/vbs/ActiveX in e-mails. Most of these mass mailers use well known holes/bugs in Outlook/OE to replicate. If Outlook only supplied plain text or only allowed basic HTML without all the fancy scripting then it would be ok. The fact that viewing an e-mail via the preview panel will trigger the virus/worm is dumb. Or how about the new feature found in OE 6.0 what will run, under certain conditions, scripting in a plain text e-mail. The other option I can think of is to enhance Windows Update to always be on and for Microsoft to release all patches via that web site (IIS, Exchange, Server, Workstation, etc). So all Windows users will have the current up to date software. The main problem that I see is that most system aren't patched because the admins or home user is lazy or doesn't know any better. I think it was Russ in NTBugTraq that did a search on Microsoft's site for IIS patches and found 3 different repositories for patches and all 3 of them had different number of patches. So an admin hits one of the pages and downloads all the patches that he/she sees thinking that's all the needed updates. But the system may still be missing a few very important security updates that the page failed to mention. But in the end we can do only two things. One sit back and watch as other non-patched systems infect more non-patched systems or two get management jobs at Microsoft and change some of their features. Oh yes, and as Kevin says you can always use something else (many do).

RE: Plain Text Only
We'll just to give you some ideas to look at. Things I'd check. Not in any order. 1. Plug the video card that doesn't seem to work into another system and see if the card works. It might be a dead card. 2. Check Ati and make sure you have the correct drivers. (http://support.ati.com/products/pc/rageltpro/rageltpro_drivers.html) Plug and Play will not always install the correct driver. 3. I'd also check to make sure that the bios is the latest version. Find the Make/Model of the motherboard and head over to their site. Look for any bios updates for that motherboard. If there is something messed with bios this will set everything back to the defaults. 4. Make sure you're not booting into safe mode. :) 5. Look for bent pins on the monitor cable. 6.

ATI XPERT98 Do you know what the Motherboard make and model is? Sorry, without throwing the user off the unit, I couldn't tell you right now. Or do you guys/gals have a technician onsite that can look at this. That's me. I'm it. Told you -- we are on a shoestring these days. We spent all our money on upgrading to W2K server, ISA Server and E2K and buying 3 new servers for that deployment. -Original Message- From: Jeremy Newell [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, August 28, 2001 10:45 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: Plain Text Only Just a few questions for ya. I might be able to help narrow down the video problem. What OS is the on (Win9x, WinNT, Win2k)? What are the model number for the video cards? Do you know what the Motherboard make and model is?
