I need a little help understanding SCCM. From what understanding I have of it, it's basically group policy and WSUS wrapped into one. Any better description or help understanding what it is and what it does and how it differs from GP and SUS would be greatly appreciated.

We have 6 server clusters running Windows 2008. We can ping them via name and get a response. However, when we try to access them in Windows Explorer by name they can't be found. We can only access them in Explorer by their IP address. For example, we can browse to \\123.45.6.789\c$ but not \\servername\c$. Does anyone know how to fix this? Thanks!

Hi, I'm really hoping someone can help with this because I've lost a lot of very important files. The problem is this: I have a Windows Server 2008 R2 machine running with AD DS that supplies user profiles and a redirected 'My Documents' etc to a collection of workstations. Most of the machines run XP, with a couple on Windows 7. The Documents/Favourites/Application Data folders are redirected to a shared location on the Server and so far I have encountered no problems. However, I recently logged onto one of the XP machines with a user account that has previously only logged on to one of the Windows 7 machines. When I logged back on to the Windows 7 machine wi…

I am in the process of building a new server to allow thin clients to log into a new server running Windows Server 2008 R2. I however want the users to be redirected to a desktop that resembles Windows 7 and not Server 2k8 when logging in using RDP. I have it setup right now to when an user logs in they get their own profile with a Server 2008 desktop, but I can not get it to redirect to the Virtual Windows 7 machine I have running on Hyper-V on the same server. I have about 50 users so I do not want to create a virtual machine for each user, just have each user with their own desktop that can be customized to their own liking. The users would login using their AD …

I made the mistake of installing a new server with a Windows 2008 R2 Standard Retail DVD (not realizing it was this at the time that I did the install). Since that installation, I've configured the server and otherwise put work into it. I purchased an OEM key (not really knowing that there were different license types out there at the time of purchase). So now I have an unactivated and unlicensed system that I need to license and activate. I also have a System Builder Windows 2008 Server Standard Edition OEM DVD and license (unopened). Can I simply use the product key that comes with the OEM DVD to license and activate the server that I've set up, or will I get s…

Hello, I manage a Windows 2008 Server and I cannot access IP restricted URLs/sites for which my IP is already granted access. I can navigate to Google and any other page, but not to those sites. The URLs in question are XMLs authorized to affiliates only, that's why they are IP restricted but my server's IP is already in their allowed list. I asked them for help but as I do not refer much traffic yet they just did not provide any suggestion. I'm stuck, so any help is appreciated.
