Thanks

I have a phone interview scheduled for a Network Admin position at a college on wednesday. One of the questions they said I'd be asked is the following:

“Your boss has promised the Dean that you...

I believe some of the problems may be attributable to the following Grou Policy object:

Computer Configuration -> Windows Settings -> Security Settings -> Local Policies -> Security Options ->...

After all this time, I finally found a solution to the random disconnects from the 2003 server.

The solution is to disable offline files on the client computers. What was happening was the...

Thanks for the suggestion, but when I open the rsop.msc, I don't have those options under computer configuration, administrative templates. However, if I open up the local group policy (gpedit.msc),...

Appreciate the suggestion which I've tried, but the registry keys themselves will revert back to what they were before. Weird...

The file is working, but something is reverting it back. I know this because I can log on to a machine, manually change the server, log off and then back on again. After about 20 seconds the server...

Well the users must be connected to a mapped drive in order to run certain programs. The only way I could apply this fix would be to add it to the batch file that runs every time they log on. But...

That would probably work, but the problem is this fix needs to be deployed to 3000+ computers accross multiple locations via a registry file that gets applied each time they log on. As far as I know...

It does not.

I've noticed that if I'm joinging a thin client to the domain, and I've previously tried to browse to the C drive of the server using the name (not the IP), it won't let me join the...

Hi SpywareDr, the registry settings are in fact correct, but the time server and registry entries keeps reverting back to time.windows.com. Any other ideas?

I'm trying to change the time server on a bunch of machines I have in schools. I'm trying to change it from time.windows.com to pool.ntp.org. This works untill you log off and log back on again. ...

JDC200, there are enough CALs but that shouldn't matter considering we're not using terminal services. (Except when they launch an application through remote desktop which most of the time they...

I'm using a server 2003 domain controller and thin clients with XP embedded.

I have this same setup at multiple sites.

I'm also using folder redirection for the Start Menu and Application Data....

I think it's all for the better. I've never been an OpenOffice fan. It's so darn slow and takes forever to open (even with the quckstarter). Not to mention all existing versions seem to be full of...

I've given up on OpenOffice. I even tried mapping a drive to a shared folder from the thin client, then properly installing openoffice (both version 2.4 and 3.1.0) onto the shared drive on the...

I'm testing with local files. But the users open documents that are stored on the server due to My Documents folder redirection.

However, I tried as you suggested and attempted to open up a...

Its neither a local access issue, a membership issue or a restrictions issue. I created an administrator domain account, removed all the restrictions (server-side and local) and the problem...

It can't be a local access issue. I figured out how to give other user accounts the same local privileges as the Administrator account in XP Embedded.

1. You simply boot the thin client up to...

I have. It doesn't show anything useful at the point where it crashes.

I agree that it's likely an access issue to the local C drive. The problem is, I can't figure out how to unrestrict it. It's something with XP embedded where only the Administrator account has...

I'm not quite sure what you mean. I tried filemon and it didn't come up with anything useful. I've tried disabling group policy and that didn't make a difference. I've also tried making the domain...

I'm just not sure where. Domain users have access to the entire open office folder on the server. There are no other openoffice files anywhere. Plus, they have access to the appropriate registry...

Unfortunately no entries are being made in the event logs. Neither on the local thin client or the server.

But users can open OpenOffice applications by clicking on the links to the program. Plus the domain users group has read/write access to the entire OpenOffice on the server. However, I'll give...
