Do you know of any information which would explain changing the AD topology?

Active Directory and VPN tunnels

You are correct - the replication has to accur across an encrypted channel, however I think meshing will be the only way possible. Looks like I will have to upgrade the firewall there. In answer to a previous post - I am using Watchguard Firebox 700's in 3 locations, and a Firebox SOHO in...

Do you think time travel will ever be possible?

Hmm... I don't see a whole lot here on parallel dimension theory which could occur in going forward or back in time. Basically you would be travelling through time to a parallel dimension, so you could in effect travel to a state before the time machine was built. However, you could never...

Active Directory and VPN tunnels

A dedicated line between offices would not help in this scenario. I would need dedicated line(s) due to the fact that it is a many to many connection. ie. In the case of 4 offices, there would need to be 3 lines from each office to each office.

Active Directory and VPN tunnels

I have a query about Active directory and what you can and cannot do - I have a VPN set up between a few of my offices and wanted to add another branch office in to the mix. From what I understand of AD, I would need to create tunnels from this office to every other office which has an AD...

Combining partitions on Win2k Server

I am just wondering what the best application would be to combine a couple of partitions on a Win2k Server (SP4). I have a C: and D: drive which are both on the same 18GB HDD and I wish to combine them. There are no installed programs or active shares on the D: drive so I am fairly safe in that...

lmhosts.sam file

It doesnt really matter what the file is called, as long as it is modified to hold the addresses that you want, and imported. I have done this.

lmhosts.sam file

I have been having a lot of trouble with the lmhosts.sam file and logging in to a VPN connection. Basically, the lmhosts file does not get imported at boot up. So when I go to access the exchange server, it does not know the host name because the named address in the lmhosts file does not get...

Win2k Logon Scripts

I want to apply a logon script to a number of users across a Win2k domain. Could someone please tell me the easiest way of doing this. Also, I wanted to know whether it was possible to add printers into the logon script that are not under a server share. For example, if I had a HP Laserjet...

Password permissions on Win2k Server

On one of the Win2k servers I have, I need to password protect a directory. I will give the scenario below, as I can't think of a workable solution that would be easy to implement. There are two client computers which login to the domain controller (which also has the shared dir). They map this...

bridging subnets over the internet

I think you will have problems with this (cost wise) any way you look at it...... If you are using VPN, then you will need to set up VPN tunnels to every connection if you want everyone to be able to see eachother. This is unless you are using something like a Watchguard firebox where you can...

Can a GOOD firewall protect your network from a DOS attack?

Just about any of the hardware firewalls will kill a DOS attack before it becomes a problem. The only problem, as was mentioned earlier, is bandwidth. If you are running on a T1 or something similar and it is a large attack, then you don't have any real chance because your bandwidth will be...

server recommendations please

I currently run two Poweredge 1500SCs, one 1600SC, and one 2600 mahine. Never had any problem with any of them. In fact, they have been better than the HP and IBM servers that I have had in the past. If you can afford it, a 1600SC would be your best bet. They are rock solid.

Security for AD Exchange 2000 Server

I was thinking of using SSL for all remote logins and closing port 80 alltogether. This would seem to be the best way to protect the server, however my only worry is that some people won't be able to get into OSA from certain remote sites. I would think though, that reducing the risk should be...

Security for AD Exchange 2000 Server

Would having a front end OWA server really make much of a difference? If they compromised the front end server then they would definately be able to get into the main exchange server. Please correct me if I am wrong...
