We are going to upgrade seven of our Win2000 servers to 2003, and I was working with CDW for an upgrade cost. They want to know the number of CAL's needed, and there is some question in my mind about this. By their definition, a CAL equals a person pulling information from a server. If this...

For what its worth, we are using the SonicWall Pro3060, enhanced OS, for our routing, VPN, and firewalling needs, and it works great. I was skeptical at first because of the low cost, but I would have to say that I have been pleasantly suprised. We have specific ports blocked and open, but...

We purchased 17 Dell Optiplex GX270 workstations several years ago as part of a system installation, and immediately, we started to see issues with the units locking up; screen goes black, no response. Dell service had us pop the hood, and look at the capacitors. On all these that...

I already checked to see if it was set for verbose reporting, but it wasn't. I'll try disabling indexing, thanks

We are having some latency issues with a Win2000 server, and looking at Task Manager, I see winmgmt.exe coming up periodically, and grabbing CPU useage. It is set to log errors only, but seems to be come up alot. Is there any issue with disabling winmgmt that anyone knows of?

I have been trying to troubleshoot an annoying TCP socket connection issue between our Win2003 server and a UNIX box. The UNIX box keeps sending back RST_ACK requests, so our Win2003 server keeps sending SYN requests. As a result, there are typically six established connections between these...
