    File Recovery after format and Windows re-install?

    A friend of mine recently re-installed Windows XP on his machine, but he forgot to backup some items beforehand (I know...). So, I immediately told him to stop using the computer until I could find a decent file recovery software and try to recover whatever was possible. Problem is, I don't...

    VPN connection to SBS 2003 network

    Well, apparently there's something that eludes me. I got DHCP, DNS, WINS an RRAS configured, yet still VPN client can't see the computer list in Network Places. I don't know what else to do, I've tried pretty much everything I could find. Any ideas? If you some screenshots of my configurations...

    VPN connection to SBS 2003 network

    UPDATE: I fixed WINS (reinstalled) and it's now working. I haven't tried the VPN since I'm inside the LAN now, will try it later today. I noticed that some Windows Vista machines still don't show up in Network Places. Is there something that I need to configure in Vista?

    GPO newbie, some questions.

    Exactly what I was thinking. That's why I didn't do a lot of tweaking to the default GPO, just minor esthetic changes to the OS, stuff that I want applied company wide. Heavier restrictions such as prohibited apps, etc. will have to go into their own GPO. I was just asking if this was the best...

    Change desktop wallpaper via registry GPO

    I want to create a single wallpaper so all our users use the same one. I know this can be done through an Active Desktop GPO, but I don’t want to use Active Desktop. It uses HTML, makes everything look like crap and the desktop performance drops. So, I’d like to know how to create a GPO that...

    dns BTW, L2TP works from inside the LAN. I believe it's a port forwarding issue.

    VPN connection to SBS 2003 network

    I was able to connect via PPTP from home without problems. I'll give L2TP a second try today and see what happens. I used PPTP with EAP, User Certificates and 128-encryption. Mac and Windows PCs both connected to the network ok. However, in the Windows PC Network Places is empty. Shouldn't it...

    I want to enable VPN access for our mobile users, so they can access local shares and resources while on the road. For that, I’ve followed the steps in the Small Business Server admin guide, but I still have some problems. The configuration is as follows: Server is Windows Small Business...
