I just purchased a Cisco SG300 managed switch and would like to seperate my network into two VLAN's, one for my lab environment and the other for everything else.

I have the switch in L3 mode and and been reading the admin guide but I'm still at a loss with VLAN configuration.

This is a 10 port ...

Think I got it figured out, looks like you can use Powershell with ActiveDirectory module

For exemple :

Import-Module ActiveDirectory

$LISTPC = Get-Content C:\temp\LISTPC.txt

$LISTPC|Foreach{Get-ADComputer $_|Move-ADObject -TargetPath "OU=TARGET,DC=...."}

I have a list of computer names I would like locate within AD (2008 R2), using the search feature it seems I can only do one at a time, I have also discovered the ADAC but not sure if that can handle a search like that either.

Once located these machines will be dropped into their respective OU's ...

Well I decided to simply move the installation to another server and it works, not sure why I didn't do that in the first place, anyway, that brings me to my second question, when I usually setup s software deployment using the "Software Installation" package method, the software will only run once ...

I simply pulled the two test machines from their original OU and created another OU called "Office 2010 Installs" and created the GPO on that OU.

For whatever reason I cannot get it to work running under the "Computer Configuration" POLICIES/WINDOWS SETTINGS/SCRIPTS STARTUP/SHUTDOWN, I am getting ...

scj6771

Using this method I have been able to deploy Office 2010 Standard using GPO and OCT, my question is, what are the difference in placing a startup script in the "Computer Configuration" and "User Configuration"?

If I have a GPO with two users and apply the startup script in "User Configuration" it ...

I'd probably let it hang at 2003 functionality level for a while.
I'm OK with that, however, my DC states that I am still at a "Windows 2000 native" functional level, I'm assuming that's normal coming off a 2000 environment? Just wasn't sure how that could be if we no longer have any 2000 DC's ...

scj6771

Thanks, that's kinda what I figured since only a few machines out of the 900 or so we have are actually having this issue, I was just afraid it would blow up into a much more serious issue.

We have just within the last week migrated fully from 2000 to 2008 R2 and still need to pull the trigger on ...

The old DC is offline, the user accounts seem to be fine and if I run IPCONFIG /ALL it shows the correct DNS server.

The issue has occurred on 3 machines so far, one of them I was able to remove from the domain and place back in and it was able to log in, I tried that on another machine and it did ...

scj6771

Upgraded the last of our 2000 DC's to 2008 R2 and we are starting to have issues with random users not able to log into the domain, getting messages stating that the domain is not available.

If I look at the event viewer on one of these machines one of the errors that shows up is"

Not to get off topic but do you have any advice on cleaning up old and lingering GPO's and polices? And many when running GPOTOOL of which have only the name "New Group Policy Object"?

scj6771

After struggling with this for a couple of days, I finally decided to create the file NTFRS_CMD_FILE_MOVE_ROOT (no extension) in the C:\WINNT\SYSVOL\DOMAIN folder on each of the old DC's, restarted the File Replication Service on all DC's and it seems to be working now?

I read that the above method ...

scj6771

Disregard last post, it's doing so because that is our DNS server (old primary), and yes the DNS is entered correctly on the new DC.

scj6771

I just realized after running nslookup for the two problem DC's on the new DC that the "Server" and "address" is giving the name of the only old DC I do not have an issue with. (old primary).

scj6771

After I used GPOTOOL I noticed (and seems to be confirmed from reading the file replication error logs on the new DC) that it's not the old 2000 PDC but the other two that are having issues, for example, below is a Remote Assistance policy I setup before we introduced the new DC, looks like the ...

scj6771

Well I was finnaly able to check the Event Viewer File Replication log on the new 2008 DC after some access denied issues and discoverd that the error was the same except sure enough this one has the "c:\windows\sysvol\domain" instead of "c:\winnt\sysvol\domain" message.

We just recently introduced a new Windows 2008 R2 DC into our Windows 2000 environment and promoted it using this method here , since then we have had a few issues, the one that concerns me the most is after creating a new policy on the new 2008 DC I noticed that clients were getting the following ...

I need to be able to play the XBOX and watch TV at the same time.

I do not have cable so I use the XBOX for Netflix and such / HDMI directly from XBOX into TV.

Now that I'm thinking about it, what good is any of this going to do me if my only form of TV watching at the moment is the XBOX, if I ...

scj6771

Hope this is the right area for this.

Is it possible to hook my XBOX 360 into my 7600GT via the VIVO option which would then allow me to play the 360 on my PC?

My thought is that if my son wanted to play the XBOX and I wanted to watch TV he could do so without taking over the television.

I have ...

Looking for a replacement for my Seagate Momentus 5400.4 ST9250827AS hard drive.

Having issues trying to find a compatible drive for my HP laptop, did find a couple similar as seen below.

Could really use some help. Thanks for your time.

CALs are on their way and we are going with Windows Server 2008 Enterprise Edition and not R2, I would have rather we went with R2 but some things are out of my control, do you foresee any issues with that?

I just wanted to reiterate some talking points and get your thoughts.

1. After this new ...

scj6771

Something else just came up, what about CALs (Client Access Licenses) ? I'm not even sure why this was brought to the table but it was. All of our clients are running Windows XP Pro which are each licensed with the single volume licensing key we purchased way back when.

If our domain is upgraded to ...

scj6771

Closer to 70 really, have 4 ESX machines containing 10-15 per and then several physical boxes, we run so many application servers around here its ridicoulous.

So I think what we could do is setup our primary and then build a another DC for replication/backup/redundancy and whatnot?

scj6771

How large is your organization? How many other servers?

700 users and around 100 servers or so, I definitely want to run in native mode so I don't see any issues demoting those other two or upgrading them. Am I wrong to believe that one DC is sufficent for a single domain of our size?

scj6771

Hate to be a pest but I had another potential issue.

We have two "backup" DC''s... Once my new Windows 2008 machine is "promoted" and the Windows 2000 "primary" DC "demoted" what will become of the secondary DC's? (they are Windows 2000 machines) Can a Windows 2008 DC and a Windows 2000 "backup" DC ...

scj6771

How do you do a migration from one server to another and have two servers of the same name on the network? You can't! Can't have 2 computers with the same name in active directory.

No doubt, the 2008 box is already in place with a name like "DCAD1" and our current DC is called something like ...

scj6771

Thanks for the reply Stonecat, your suggestions are spot on and are exactly what I had in mind. What are your thoughts on the new DC NOT taking over the same name as the old DC? I have to admit, I have planeed and tested this whole process with the understanding that the new DC will take on the same ...

So I decided to give UBCD4Win and BartPE a try, however I find these to be very bloated and not so user friendly, I understand that I can turn off plugin's but it still weighs in pretty heavy, and once I got a thumb drive loaded with BartPE I found it difficult to get anywhere on the network ...
