Having challenges with Quota system because our "common folder" and user drive are on the same volume. Symantec Mail Security, Exchange Data files and our Accounting System is also installed on this volume. Plan: Backup that Volume Purchase Partition Magic (or some other form of partitioning software) Partition the drive into two seperate volume. Has anoyone done this before - I've had no problems on XP Workstations - but have never attempted on a SBS Server with RAID 5. One more note - Windows OS on Seperate Mirrored drives.

Windows server 2003 XP Pro Clients with 1 or 2 Windows 2K pro clients Hi there, I need to set up a message of the day & I don't want to spend any money! I know that I could use Domain Security policy and create a crude Title & Message there but this has to be something that an end user would be able to change so it cuts that one out. I have currently created a folder on a global share & that contains a Word document which can be saved as an html file. I've also created a shortcut to go into All Users/Start Menu/Program Files/StartUp to run the html file. Basically it works OK & apart from making the IE shortcut do a few things (no navigatio…

Hi, I want to make uses computers monitors go into standby after 20mins if idle, is this possible via a GPO? We have XP users and AD 2003. Thanks

(Please note: This isn't a job for UPHClean. It's not a problem with users logging off.) Does anybody know how a user hive can remain loaded in HKEY_USERS even AFTER a Windows reboot (and before users have logged on)? A program running with admin privilege, a spyware scanner, directly loads all the user hives into HKEY_USERS to check registry settings for spyware. Occasionally it fails to unload the hives, and users logging on get the "Windows cannot load the locally stored profile" message. A reboot normally frees up the hives. But I am hearing scattered reports--which I haven't witnessed personally--that user hives are still loaded into HKEY_USE…

I was unable to install TurboTax on my Windows XP machine and it turned out to be caused by a third party application: MacDrive. MacDrive by Mediafour allows Windows users to read Apple disks but also unknowingly defaults all drives on the machine to be Apple, if a dual format Apple/Windows disk is introduced. This only occasionally causes a problem, but is unlikely to be found, since it generally occurs some months AFTER installation of MacDrive. I went through all the Windows support debugging of checking my Registry autorun settings and updating all my Windows installers. None of this helped. I only found out the culprit was MacDrive when I re-forma…

When I went through the logs of one of XP workstations I noticed that it gets a lot of errors about not being able to access some group policy located in SYSVOL folder on the server. When running gpupdate the operation seems to be successful but when looking into event logs of that PC there are same errors again. What I found is that it tries to access a policy that doesn't exist on the server within the Policies folder inside SYSVOL. What is the way to fix it? Thanks yaro

And if so...what happens If I decide to extend that volume will that extended volume remain with partition of align 64 and 64k unit size? Thank you.
