I don't know how the intruder got my company's internal addresses. The e-mail appears to be sent to us as '[EMAIL PROTECTED],' where 'xxx.xxxxx.xxx' is the name of any organization. There is no mailbox in our network called 'data.' Further, there appears to be nothing outstanding within the headers or components of the messages. We're stumped. Do you have any idea how the intruder is doing this?" >>CLICK to read Laura's expert response... http://searchwindowsmanageability.techtarget.com/ateQuestionNResponse/0,289625,sid33_cid476749_tax288041,00.html =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= CERTIFICATION BOOT CAMPS | by Ed Tittel Dear Ed: "How do you feel about two-week certification boot camps?" >>CLICK for Ed's expert response... http://searchwin2000.techtarget.com/ateQuestionNResponse/0,289625,sid1_cid476319_tax285126,00.html =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= PROTECTING EXCHANGE 5.5 SID DURING MOVE TO NEW DOMAIN | Scott Schnoll Dear Scott: "I am migrating from an NT 4.0 domain to a Win2k domain, and I am concerned about the SID for the Exchange 5.5 service account.

We store profiles on the local machines, not the network. We do, however, have an MS domain that we created along with our Novell network. We want our Win2k users to run only domain profiles on their workstations. The problem is that everything from the local profile isn't being copied to the domain profile when I run the copy profiles command. Also, when I try to delete a domain profile that I have created, it seems to corrupt other profiles." >>CLICK to read Paul's expert response... http://searchwin2000.techtarget.com/ateQuestionNResponse/0,289625,sid1_cid430443_tax285115,00.html _____________________________________________________________________ IMPORTANT FEATURES AND LINKS: =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= UNDERSTANDING GROUP POLICY | Live Webcast Who: James Michael Stewart, author and MCSE When: Oct. 1 at 2:00 p.m. EDT (18:00 GMT) SearchWin2000.com admin expert James Michael Stewart will discuss Group Policy configurations, capabilities and limitations, and show you some practical tips you can apply when using Group Policy Editor (GPE) for software management and distribution, security and user management. >>CLICK to pre-register... http://searchwindowsmanageability.techtarget.com/webcasts/0,289675,sid33,00.html =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= IS THE MCSE TOO EASY? | Member Poll Do you think practice exams make it too easy to memorize your way to MCSE certification or do you think it's fine the way it is?
