Well, the XP version of 2KAdvancedServer is .Net Server, which I don't believe has been fully released yet. XP workstations should integrate nicely in a 2K AD environment. Good luck! -JB John A. Bjelke AFRL\VSIO Business Support Analyst UNISYS Supporting AFRL Kirtland

RE: [ActiveDir] Rolling SRP1 into a RIS Install:

2002-03-06 Thread Bjelke John A Contr AFRL/VSIO
James, The rough instructions are in Q296723, but the specific outline is something like this: 1. Copy the Windows 2000 CD-ROM onto the HD 2. Slipstream SP2 into it (update -s:path) 3. Extract the SRP1 files somewhere (sp2srp1 -x:path) From this point, what you have to do is remove

DHCP is going to work on a first available basis.. i.e., the first DHCP server that a system can contact when it looks for a lease will issue an IP and register the connection in dynamic DNS. This could cause managing computer domain accounts to get ugly, unless you are willing to keep all

RE: [ActiveDir] RIS and RipRep

2002-01-24 Thread Bjelke John A Contr AFRL/VSIO
Did you slip-stream the service pack and hot fixes prior to the ris, or after you have pushed the image to the system? I belive that if you apply SP2 AFTER the install through ris, the image will NOt match the install. -Original Message- From: Morgan, Joshua [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]

There are a number of internet tracking applications out there that will track the ammount of time connected to a given URL. I believe some proxies can be configured to do this as well. Have fun parsing those logs... I wouldn't want to do it. Sessionwall from SSi will do this and much much

James, unfortunately, the bulk of our experince has been in using SMS to push patches and updates. I really don't think building a new .msi file is the way you want to go. Slip-streaming the patches into the original installs has worked very well for us, and has allowed us to keep an

Actually, we have seen similar issues in our mixed mode domain. Sometimes, it seems that there is a sync problem between pdc and bdc's. Other times, we have no clue why it is occuring to an individual over and over again. We have even gone so far as to delete and recreate accounts in AD for users
