I'm trying to source a graphics card for a USFF PC that has 1 x DVI, 1 x Analog port. Unfortunately the onboard video is disabled whenever you insert a external card. Otherwise the Nvidia Quadro NVS 55/280 card would have been suitable, however this has only one DVI port. We've tried using...

Wonder if you could help...I've come across a weird problem.... We're running an W2k network with XP clients (SP1) with each Office 2003 - the problem we have is that a number of our users's machines are hanging (not even task manager or process explorer would close Outlook.exe or any of the...

Thanks for the reply. No-one has full-control permissions aside from myself and selected core admins, at best users have only read/write access. Is it possible to prevent the explicit permissions in the \PERSONAL DATA\SHARED DATA\CONFIDENTIAL (explicit read only) from being reinherited from...

Is there any way of protecting explicitly defined permissions for a sub-folder? e.g. Example folder structure \PERSONAL DATA (read/write) \PERSONAL DATA\USER 1 (inherited read/write) \PERSONAL DATA\USER 2 (inherited read/write) \PERSONAL DATA\SHARED DATA (inherited read/write) \PERSONAL...

Shame they changed intro voiceover (in both content and style - Richard Burton's voiceover is classic sci-fi!) Hope they don't change the theme music as well to some soulless, boring, pseudo rock/techno affair! Dan

Data Execution Prevention We've added the 'always off' switch in boot.ini to get around the DEP issues on test machines and we're sending out SP2 to the client machines via Microsoft's SMS, making the necessary changes via GP. Until we can find a better way of making changes to DEP, we're...

SP2 problems We're planning to use it on our corporate network (2500+ clients) - we've only come across a few problems: WINDOWS FIREWALL - Most of the applications we have tested work fine, a few have encountered problems with the windows firewall, however as we have multiple security...

That's great, I'll give it a try. The Power Users group didn't have enough privileges and we've tinkered with user rights until they've more or less got modify access of most of the client (which obviously we don't want). Goddamn SX3!! Thanks for your help Dan

Wonder if you could help? We're running a XP clients on our 2k-based network and we've come across a piece of software that requires users to have local admin access to their PCs, we've tried virtually every permission change on the clients but none have worked, so we're left with giving the...

I'm on the 3MB connection with Telewest (UK) - costs £50 a month though :confused: Dan

Wonder if you could help? We're running a Windows 2000 Network with 1000+ XP Pro clients and we're looking at stopping users connecting Parallel/USB local printers at their workstations. Anyone know of a way we can stop users adding local printers, but still enable them to use cameras...

The Windows Event Viewer shows 7 as the event ID. Bad sector on hard disk? Lost clusters, etc? Would this account for the KDC problem? If so, would a simple chkdsk resolve the problem?

I wonder if you could help? We've got over 50 mom events coming up on one of our core domain controllers - "The Security Account Manager failed a KDC request in an unexpected way. The error is in the data field. The account name was ????????????" and lookup type 0x100". I've checked the usual...

What about water cooling and alternative methods of cooling? Are there air conditioning units available for PCs? Dan

I hope you can help. We've got a number of SAN drives setup and running on one of our servers, however in Disk Management they're all present and correct (all dymnamic disks), however when I look in Explorer, Disk Defragmenter and at the command line, can't see any of the new drives. Help...
