I've a user trying to access our network over VPN, and the error I'm seeing when trying to authenticate is this: "The referenced account is currently locked out and may not be logged on to." Now, the interesting this is that I'm generating this error consistently when I try to access one...

TTT - anyone? This is still going on. The biggest issue is Event ID 9127 and the KB article that I linked above; I've verified that the OAL/Public Folder relationship is there, but replication just is not happening. Help! Thanks.

OK. The company's Exchange server (Exchange 2003 on Server 2003) is generating a couple of troublesome errors that don't seem to be effecting performance per se, but are annoying. The first is: Event Type: Error Event Source: MSExchangeIS Event Category: General Event ID: 9646 Date: 4/29/2004...

I'm putting together specs on a new Exchange server for my office, and am reading up on client licenses, CALs, etc. 80 user office. I'm looking at getting just Windows Server 2003 Standard with the requisite 5 client licenses. Since this is not the domain controller, it's sufficient to order...

My receptionist has an .mdb file that gets updated monthly (I have no clue why it's not archived each month before she wipes out the old information for the new month - novel idea), and has wiped out the March information before printing it. She's sure that in the past when this has happened...

So I'm meandering through Diagnostics logging in Exchange 2003, and I'm trying to log Logons. My suspicion is that the Net Admin in my other studio is opening users' mailboxes in both studios without authorization. I want to nail this guy. My understanding is that anything the Diagnostics...

First off, I have a Compaq Proliant 720 from '99 as my print server right now (yeah - it needs to be scrapped), running Windows Server 2003 as best it can, and supporting 15 print and plot devices. It's up to date in terms of patches, and it's got a Gigabit ethernet card in it, despite the fact...

For those of you that are IT Managers over small to medium businesses, what is typically the ratio between IT employees and users that you like to maintain? I've heard 1:30 from a few locals, but I'd like to try to corroborate this information on a larger scale. Any documentation you can point...

Actually, I only paid $90 for SBS, but your point is valid. I set up Exchange for the express purpose of learning about Exchange 2003 before I implement it in my office. I've been the office's net admin for a month now, and the existing system that was literally dropped in my lap is just plain...

Am I correct in the assumption that that call would cost me over $200?

Follow-up: I found three separate .ost files under Local Settings/etc., all with different 'last modified' dates; one of which is almost exactly the last time I was able to successfully download my email into Outlook. So it seems to me that the emails are now being funneled to one of those...

OK, I have Small Business Server 2003 installed on my server at home (2 node network; a PC and a laptop), and Exchange installed for managing my Comcast email account. Up until the morning before last, it seemed like it was working fine. I have Outlook 2003 installed on the laptop, and...

I have a woefully-outdated Collaborative site on my network that allows registered users to click on files to download. Simple enough; click the link, and the pop-up appears that says 'Open', 'Save', etc. I have a user on Windows 98 who is clicking on this link, but instead of going straight...

I did find this in the Microsoft Knowledge Base, and it was of no real help to me. I went ahead with the manual configuration of the permissions on the directories in question, but they were all already correct. That left me with removing and reinstalling IIS 6.0, which made me dig a little...

I clicked the link, but MS' Help & Support Center had nothing to offer. What I'm finding is that this is specific to Application Partitions, which is new to 2K3 Server...? The only recent change I've made is the implementation of Software Update Services, but I've only configured the Client...
