When I need to alter permissions for a folder on our file server, the selection location is our domain.  I always have to change the location to my OU to find the groups I need to work with.  Is there a way to set my OU as the default location in place of our domain?

Thank you

Under a shared folder, is it possible to make this path...

\\server\share\folder_1\data\

appear to the user like this path?

\\server\share\data\

I have attempted to use Traverse Folder alone on "folder_1", but this doesn't work. List Folders is required, but then "folder_1" becomes visible.

Thank you

Primary server is Windows 2008R2 and the secondary server is Windows 2012r2.    I have an app that uses both servers and they show the hits per server and I am trying to figure out why the primary is being hit so much more than the secondary.   I also need to know if that is a problem.   When I reboot the primary server then most people cannot even login until it comes back up.  

Is this normal or could I have setup something wrong on the secondary server?

Is there any best practice in how to upgrade a Hyper-V 2008R2 Cluster to 2016, without destroying the cluster?
We have active VM's on both nodes.

Hello! I have a Windows 2008 Server R2 server that displays error 0x8007000d when trying to upgrade with SP1. I have already run the Microsoft Windows Update scan tools and DISM commands to try to resolve. But nothing had any effect. Any suggestions are welcome!

Hi all,
How can I tell if my win 2008 R2 is corrupted, I mean is there anything specific in the logs that I can take a look at? Where can I find indications of Os corruption??

We have Opentext application on it running on SQL server database.
Today when the server got rebooted the SQL server services were not starting up
We had faced this couple of times before but after repairing SQL installation everything would be fine but today it was not allowing us to repair SQL as it was giving multiple errors.


Thanks in advance.

I created a simple .bat file to delete a website in our favorites. It works locally but I need to add it to a GPO to deploy to remove it off 100's of machines. Can someone assist with step by step instructions on how to do this? I have not done this before.

Thanks for any assistance.


del "c:\users\%username%\Favorites\website.url"

Share Permissions

I have ShRoot\Folder1

ShRoot is the Share name, on its properties it has 2 tabs:
Share Permissions and Security

I have an Active Directory Group named ADgr

I would like to know which permissions the ADgr should have under Share Permissions tab as well as Security Tab

on Folder1 it should not be a problem since there is only Security permissions no Share permissions. I gave ADgr full access to Folder1

Any help will be very much appreciated

Thanks

We have Exchange 2010 Sp3 and we are using Outlook 2010 as well.

Apparently a user, needed to access his email while not at his desk so he just added his email to another user's outlook account settings.  This user opened outlook from another workstation (logged on from a Citrix session) and added his email to the Outlook Email Account settings .

The problem was that he did not remove the account after he was done and then the normal user was getting login prompts to enter the correct password for the 'evil' user whenever she opened her outlook program.  I removed the extra user, form the Outlook Email Account settings and then exited out of Outlook and then re-opened outlook.  Problem solved.  or is it.

My question  is how can I prevent any user from making any changes to their outlook settings?  Or can I disable and enable the feature for the times that we need to make changes?  We do have all of the Exchange email accounts on our Exchange server.

Bye the way, I suggested to the user to open a web browser and to browse out to the company Outlook Web Access page for future situations.

Get-ChildItem -Path \\serverabc\c$\fs01\ -name -Recurse

I have 2 2008 r2 DC's

One is VM and the other Physical machine

Both DC's seem to not be running the RPC service

I tried net view on both and both say the service has not been started

The RPCSS and DCOM services are greyed out so I cannot restart them

Thoughts?

Thanks!
