Harry,

You have some good suggestions here already, but another thing you can do is check to see that your docsis for your cable modem (if you have one) is updated. You might also try updating your firmware for your router/switch. Most of the router/switch manufacturers have a firmware update from the admin page (for your router).

Of course when all else fails, restart, resynchronize your network. Hope this helps you.

After a merger last year we have postponed the domain rename procedure - and it is about getting time to get this one done.

Does anyone of you have experience from this undertaking?

The domain is a W2K3 native controlled domain, raised to R2 functionality, with three domain controllers - a number of clients, servers and applications with services.

Are there f.ex. any problems with Backup Exec in such a procedure?

Make sure you select AD DS and AD LDS tools under the RSAT. Before we start the rename make sure forest domain activities are stopped. Such as adding new DC, changing forest configuration etc. Then in the member server log in as domain admin and open the command prompt with admin rights.

thanks for the reply thomas

i setup roaming profiles with and still when i moved between computers it would ask me...im not sure about the access rights on the folders, i will look into it tomorrow when i return to the school..

i agree with the incredimail comments, but i also agree with the school in that the youngest users will find most email clients complex.. the older pupils not so much...

Sounds like a path problem where you are using drive letters instead of UNC paths.  When you have a c:\ specified then the remote users will be trying to access their local drive rather than the server.

The other thing that could be the problem is that the clients do not have full rights to their mail directories.  The users need full rights to their own mail directories for the system to work.

 FWIW, you could run Pegasus Mail on it's own without Mercury/32 if you just want to setup local mail.  WinPMail can deliver mail to the other WinPMail users just using the USERNAME for an email address.  This setup will allow you to turn off the winsock support and ensure that the users are not sending mail via the built-in mailer to the outside world.

In addition, I think that in using the  incred(ibly bad)mail client in training the students to use email it's going to be teaching the wrong lessons.

And if all else fails, turn to drink and join AA.

Seriously, Acryonyms are a pain, but without them it would be even more laborious. I have been teaching Data Networking for years including Cisco. I remember teaching a VoIP course and a Senior Technical Manager on the course was heard to remark during a break on day 2, "Bloody Protocol City".
