cross forest and child domain dfs
by Dave 18 Dec '08

18 Dec '08

Hello, Has anyone set up dfs? I've got a 2003 setup with cross forest two way trusts with other domains setup as well as a child domain. Partner dc's in the same forest will work with dfs, i'd like to get the child domain as well as a trusted partner domain domain-b to work with dfs. I've got an existing dfs root hosted on one dc, with the targets pointing to two other servers so it'll replicate. Has anyone done this? Thanks. Dave. David Mehler, MCP, Network+, A+

Hello, I've backed up group policies on one server to a folder. I've moved those GPO's to another server and i'm wanting to import them. I do not see either a restore or import option. I do not want to have to manually reenter these policies. Thanks. Dave.

Vista 64 bit vpn to 2003
by Troy Hergert 10 Dec '08

10 Dec '08

Hi everyone, One of my staff bought her own laptop and came in with it for me to setup on our network. Wel because she went and got Vista home premium, I informed her that she can use RDP but can't connect to our domain. I then also noticed that I couldn't get a VPN connection to our 2003 server. She's got the 64 bit version of Vista. Is this likely to be the reason a VPN connection is failing on our 2003 server? Thanks.

2003 rras and ping
by Dave 08 Dec '08

08 Dec '08

Hello, I'm trying to get a few 2003 servers to be able to ping each other. Their network interfaces are set to public connected to the internet as this is in a test environment. Additionally, under the ICMP settings tab i check incoming echo request, outgoing source quench, and outgoing destination unreachable, the checked status does not appear to be holding between restarts of rras. Suggestions please. Thanks. Dave.

jaws9 and remote desktop
by Dave 04 Dec '08

04 Dec '08

Hello, Is anyone using jaws9 with remote desktop? I just discovered that the ability is available and want to get up to speed with it. I've tried to connect to a virtual machine via remote desktop, but performance was not so good. I had several issues, one of which was that it seemed as if both jaws's host and vm appeared to be active and atempting to speak. Another item was that entering keyboard commands on the remote desktop computer for example the start menu activated the start menu on the host. I also noticed a speech component on the host machine called remote speech, if anyone has all this working i'm interested in knowing the procedure. Thanks. Dave.

accessible LiveCD or LFS with Windows/Linux diagnostics
by Dave 03 Dec '08

03 Dec '08

Hello, Has anyone got a Linux From Scratch CD working with speech and added in custom apps? I've got one working with speech, but it was a modification of the existing LiveCD and doesn't have any additional applications. My goal is to have a disk that i can drop in to a machine, and boot and it will detect sound card and enable me to run diagnostics, most immediately being memtest86. Thanks. Dave.
