Some users within a Server 2016 AD network sometimes intermittently disconnect from a Kyocera Task Alfa 3051 copier and are unable to print.

This happens in an office with around 50 laptops. When this happens it only affects one laptop at a time and all the other laptops are able to print without any issues.

The printer will become grayed out and the users will receive errors printing to it from their Windows 10 computers. When this happens the printer that is automatically mapped by Windows 10 and the printer that is shared through Server 2016 and through Active Directory are both affected. No other network or internet connectivity is lost on these laptops when this happens.

This happens even whether the user's laptop is connected via Wi-Fi or a network cable.

Whenever this happens I check the Network properties on the affected laptop and find that the Network type is either Domain or Private and is never public.

To fix this issue I will have to delete the printer from the Devices and Printers applet within Control Panel and will have to re-add the network printer back to Windows 10.

What can be done to prevent this issue from occurring so these Windows 10 computers will always stay connected to this network printer and will never lose their ability to print?

I need a set of guidelines to help me set up a connection between my work and home computers.
I have used LogMeIn before, but I wonder if i can do this without a paid subscription.
My home pc is Windows XP and my work pc is Windows 10.

Hi,

I have a network share on a NAS drive that I want to store all my Technicians time sheets in.  I have created the network share and a folder under that share for each username for every tech.

I have setup the logon script to:

net use w: \\NAS01\Timesheets\%USERNAME%

and this works well to share the correct folder with each Technician.

My issue is that each share has a Display name of the USERNAME but what I wanted is for the share to be called TimeSheets for every user - even though they are all mapped to their own shared folder on the NAS.

Can anybody help with a way to modify the login script so that this can be achieved?

Many Thanks

I Have 1 external NIC , 1 Internal NIC, 2 Internet connections and a Cisco Switch.
Can I Use ISP redundancy feature with the mentioned resources?

NIC 1 Configuration: (External)
IP: 192.168.1.2
Gateway: 192.168.1.1 (Modem 1 with Internet connection 1)

NIC 2 Configuration: (Internal)
IP: 172.18.1.2
Gateway: None

I'm thinking something like this:
1. Connect both NICs to the switch
2. Connect both Modems (2 internet connections) to the switch
3. NIC 1 Config remains unchanged
4. NIC 2 Gateway changes to Modem 2 IP (172.18.1.1)


Is ISP Redaundancy possible ?

Dear Experts
We have hosted SugarCRM application on premise and for external users we have configured firewall that is hardware appliance fortigate 60C to function as SSL Web VPN where the users login to the firewall appliance portal and from here they access CRM application, they are able to login to the CRM through the  web VPN portal but the dashboard reports are not showing up, it shows blank dashboard but when we access directly to the CRM application we are able to see the dash board reports, please help me understand to where things are going wrong and how to fix it please.

We have Windows Domain Controller running 2008 version which needs to be upgraded to 2012. This DC doesnt have any FSMO roles, but it has roles for;

1)Radius Server
2)Certificate Server
3)Service Account for Internet provider

So what will be the best approach to transfer these roles to new DC? Should I name the new DC same and the IP address should be same? Do I have to check DC IP on all switches and routers? What I have to do so that this DC doesnt start advertising as the main DC in our environment, we have single domain, single forest setup.

Thanks.

I managed to setup a test lab with 3 to 4 different vlans using a cisco router and a cisco switch. I can ping ALL remote hosts fine but when I try to use remote desktop from one windows machine to another on a different vlan it times out and doesn't allow me to access that server. On the network I am connected to 10.46.72.x it works fine if I rdp to another machine but when I am on a different vlan this doesn't work. I am using a cisco 3750 24 port and a 1900 series router. Are there any commands to use to allow for the vlans to talk to each other. I am also new at configuring cisco equipment please have mercy on me <SMILE>

Here is my set up:
2 domain controllers, Windows 2008 R2, 600-700 devices in the domain.  Everything is working well with no errors in the event log.

I am moving this customer to a hosted server outside of their LAN.  There is a site-to-site VPN established between the 2 locations.  The new DC is Windows 2016 Standard but the IP is in a different subnet.

When I try and add the new server to the domain I receive: An Active Directory Domain Controller (AD DC) for the domain xxxx.local could not be contacted.

In the details it shows the domain controller SVR records were found but they are not available.

I have verified DNS, I can ping from the new server to both DCs by IP and FQDN.  I added a static A record on the DC for the new server and I am able to ping the new server both by IP and FQDN from both DCs.  i have run DCDIAG and everything passes.  I can browse through Windows Explorer to the DC and see the shares SYSVOL and NETLOGON although I get access denied when I try and open them.

The only errors that I get are when I try and join the server to the domain or try dcpromo.

Hi All,

We have MPLS network between the Head Office and Spoke site. There is no internet access over the MPLS. Our current services are not reliant on the internet so current setup works fine. We do not have any access to the current MPLS routers at the head office or at the Spoke site and we won't be able to change the configs in any way.

We are exploring a new software setup at the Spoke site but it will require internet access. This software runs on Windows 10 normal PC but needs internet to connect to its own Cloud for emails & dashboard reports etc. It does not work over "Proxy" for some reason.

At the Head Office, we have internet but not currently linked with MPLS. We can put a new router (Router 2, as per diagram) that can allow internet access.

The Win 10 PC can ping the router-2 IP (10.10.1.4) & we have tried to key in the static route: "route -s add 0.0.0.0 MASK 0.0.0.0 10.10.1.4 but still, the internet does not work.

Tracert shows the requests are getting dropped at the next hop. For Ex: "tracert 4.2.2.2" will not even each the Head Office network. Is there something else we can try?

Regards,
Kuldeep Saxena

I am in the process of getting an outdated server upgraded to a supported OS. Running VMWare 5.5 and we get getting a system off a Virtual Server 2003 x86, and upgrading it to the only available system possible a virtual Server 2008 x86. The original server is an application and file server. It has 3 IP addresses assigned to a single nick and the DNS has 2 of those IP's assigned to static FQDN's.
Here is where things get unusual...

When the original server is the one bound to the domain I can ping it from all of my systems. When the new computer is bound to the domain it will not respond to ping from only certain subdomains (inbound ICMP v4 & v6 are enabled for file and print sharing.. so it isn't the firewall).

The 2nd and 3rd IP's do not respond to any type of ping even though they show they are connected to the network. I have even tried changing the configuration by removing the 2nd and 3rd IP's from the one nic and giving them their own individual nic cards to see if they might respond from there. Again no such luck.

I am going crazy trying to get this to work properly but I can't seem to find a way to get the nic's to talk correctly, nor can I get them to respond to all of the subdomains that the original server had no issues responding to.

I am hoping that someone may have seen something like this before. I realize that an in place upgrade doesn't always resolve all issues but I've never seen something like this in any previous attempts.
Thank you in …

Dear Team, we grant permissions on Active Directory 2012 folders but seems like it did not correct.

We'd like to have this schema:

- User1(duypvn) and User2(trang.vu) are members of group IT
- User1 can Delete (Modify), Read, Write subfolders and files inside folder IT (#1)
- User2 can only Read and Write subfolders and files inside folder IT (#2)

We did these settings but could satisfy only #1



We got this error when testing #2. User2 COULD create NewFolder, New Files but COULD NOT rename them although it had Write permission



Is there any way which an user can read/write/modify folders/file but CANNOT delete them? Can you please suggest? Many thanks!
