Hi folks, I apologize if this is the wrong forum but I have an unusual issue that only occurs on our TS servers, it does not happen on our client workstations. We are running 2 Citrix PS 4.0 servers on Windows Server 2003 SP1. What is happening is every 1-2 days the Internet Explorer settings get changed so that Outlook Express is the default mail client instead of Outlook.

while looking at the security event logs for my main file server / DC i noted several unusual entries from last night. The server is 2K3, current sp, and fully patched (including MS08-067). Beginning at 8:01:51 pm and going until 9:45:43 pm, there were entries for Event ID 673 for several of our users and a few machines. There was no one in at that time and all work stations were shut down. At varying times the different accounts showed up in two entries. Both were event id 673. all entries showed the client address as 127.0.0.1. the first entry service name was "fileserver2$" (where fileserver2 is a win 2k server at another branch) and the second e…

Hi Community, Looking for a dumb down explanation of VSS with NTBackup by adding /SNAP:on switch.
