    Hi, I have 2 DCs that are running Windows 2000 Server. Both have Windows Server SP4 and one has Exchange 2000 SP3 running on it. The one that has Exchange holds the schema FSMO role. I added a 3rd server to the domain running Windows Server 2008 as a member server and I wanted to make it a DC, so I tried running adprep/forestprep command on the server that is running Exchange and received this error: Adprep was unable to extend the schema.

    Windows Firewall connection rule to force VPN

    January 5, 2009 by Guest Martin Connolly

    • 0 replies
    • 164 views

    I have a requirement to set up a firewall rule, so that all access to the internet is forced via a VPN connection, such that it goes via a managed proxy. I'm struggling to work of the settings for this! Can someone point me in the right direction please? To elaborate further: A home PC with a broadband connection. Set up a firewall rule, so that all networking establishes an IPSEC connection to a VPN server, after which all HTTP and HTTPS traffic is directed via a proxy server on the network into which the VPN connects. There must be no way to disconnect the VPN and gain 'direct' access to the internet. Thanks in antici Martin.

While the new OS has been leaked on less than legal sites for months now, we'll finally be seeing the go-ahead for the public from Microsoft. In addition to the Windows 7 beta launch, Microsoft will apparently be unveiling a new system designed to make networking home PCs significantly easier for the end user. This is definitely important for Microsoft to get a handle on, since 2008 has seen them move into th…
