Hi, The easiest way to do what you want is to use ROUND ROBIN with DNS. The problem is that this method is not actually a real load balancing, it just sends one time to HOST1 and another time to HOST2. The best way to load balancing the load, is to use what the applications offer: exchange: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff625247.aspx SharePoint: http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&cd=2&ved=0CCgQFjAB&url=http%3A%2F%2Fdownload.microsoft.com%2Fdownload%2Fc%2Fe%2F9%2Fce9623cf-fb93-4094-874c-476c46a20b71%2Fwssipo3N.doc&rct=j&q=microsoft%20sharepoint%20load%20balancer&ei=KcQJTvGeIMqAOsbWhJUB&usg=AFQjCNE5gSHqOVjEfw5OgPouIXStCo6Phg&cad=rja I don't know what is ACT! Let me know if you need more help.

I don't think this will solve the problems with ping and printer but try the following procedure: (from technet): Check this: Go to network and sharing center and click advanced sharing settings on the left, see if there are any profile which block network discovery. If you type the IP address of the print server, can you see printers? Regarding the PING it's still strange, anyway, from your client to your server ARE THERE ANY FIREWALL? Correct?

Hi and welcome :) Good luck for both certifications! Where are you studying computer networking? Which university?

Hi, 1- Right click on COMPUTER > properties > remote settings > Click the REMOTE tab and click SELECT USERS. 2- You can buy the REMOTE ACCESS (RDP) CALs "Windows Server 2008, RDS Client" here you can find all the available licenses: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserver2008/en/us/pricing.aspx To add RDP licenses, open the terminal server manager (from admin tools) and add the licenses. Read this post too: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/forums/en-US/winservergen/thread/7e5e4c6c-acce-4f07-9eaf-b9b643672ba7

That's a good question and the answer is not easy. From TechNet: That's ok, but in a normal environment, what about big files? To say the truth, "opportunistic lock" locks anything! I think you don't have to lock files, everything should work without locking files. What do you think?

Mhhh Kernel-Power error is one of the many unuseful error provided by Microsoft. As you can read in this article: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2028504/en-us Your case looks like an hardware issue. Memory fault or overheating or power supply are the most commonly problems. Check with MemTest(http://www.memtest.org/#downiso) the RAM, then make sure your server is not too hot and finally try to determine if the wattage supplied is enough. If you are not sure, post your srv config.

Don't be scared... http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc770842(WS.10).aspx Near the end, you can find 4 steps, follow those links. If you need help, I can write something easier than that. Anyway, be patience and you will be able to accomplish this task :)

Hi, this is only the INTRODUCTION forum, so WELCOME! Please post in the right session.

Hi, Can you check the Event Viewer when the server reboots? If there is an entry with: "Last reboot was unexpected", your server were in BSOD, if not, you can understand what's happening. Just to know, is this server a DC?

When you are local... WHERE? On the "office" network? This is correct, on LAN usually you don't have to pass a firewall because of you are on the same LAN. When you use VPN you create a tunnel and sometime the firewall blocks other communications channels.

In theory, it is FASTER. I know a friend who is using this and he's so happy. Anyway, he doesn't need to work with files of 20 GB. You could try in test environment, then monitor performance and make some calculation.

Yes, But for RDP I suggest you to use the "old style" right click on computer > remote settings and add the group you need. THAN modify policies.

If you have at least windows server 2008 as DC with functionality level windows 2008. If you have this scenario, I can give you the solution. Let me know.

You can easily disable inheritance, but this affect everyone on the domain. If you want to BLOCK only a user / group you can do this: Open Group Policy management mmc, select the OU where the policy is applied, select the policy. On the right side, there are 4 tabs, select the last one (I think is DELEGATION), on the right corner (bottom), click ADVANCED. On the next windows, click ADVANCED again and add a new user (the user or group you want to block), now check the box FULL CONTROL on the column DENY. To be honest, you can simply DENY the penultimate setting "APPLY GROUP POLICY", but deny everything just to be sure. After that you can use GROUP POLICY RESULTS to create a resultant policy which should show you that a specific policy is blocked. (Access denied).

I think the problem is your network firewall which is blocking some ports and protocols. For example, you should enable ECHO REPLY / ECHO REQUEST in order to receive an answer from the printer.

Hi, Everything depends on the following factors: 1) Your knowledge 2) What you can use (physical servers, clients, ...) 3) What you want to accomplish (you can set up a domain with AD, file server and print server, or you can set up a clustered environment with remote connection and RDP with TS). Let me know.

I think the problem is you firewall, maybe not the local, but the network FW. Can you provide what kind of VPN are you using (Windows, Cisco, ...), which protocol (L2TP,...) and if other users don't have this problem. Cheers

Hi, The first synchronization will take a bit (that's ok, you have many giga to move), anyway DFSR uses a protocol and algorithm which can update only the changes to a file (so a 20GB of file is not "copied" entirely every time). The limits are the followings: Size of all replicated files on a server: 10 terabytes. Number of replicated files on a volume: 8 million. Maximum file size: 64 gigabytes. And take a look here: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc773238%28WS.10%29.aspx Let me know!

Hi, Everything depends on HOW people will connect to your server. RDP is permitted only to the Admin, if you enable RDP TS, users in REMOTE DESKTOP USERS will be able to logon via RDP. The share (let's say \\IP_Srv\folder) is managed by SHARING PERMISSIONS and SECURITY (properties of folders). There's a group policy here: Computer Configuration\Windows Settings\Security Settings\Local Policies\User Rights Assignment\ Which can help you to DENY users to login locally, remotely and so on. Let me know.

Hi, Try to write a script which can delete this key: KEY_CURRENT_USER\Printers\Connections\ (where printer is the name of the printer you want to delete). Restart the spooler and check if everything is ok.

Nice :) Well, when you decide to visit Switzerland, we can meet ^^ bye

Hi, After googling a bit, I found that there are many people that have this problem. Take a look here: http://forum.notebookreview.com/acer/480992-acer-laptop-phoenix-bios-bios-mod-request-157.html Here's the guide to enable the VT, anyway, pay attention, it looks a bit tricky. http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&cd=1&ved=0CBUQFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.mediafire.com%2F%3Fcsey87y4la6bu58&rct=j&q=How%20to%20unhide%2Funlock%20hidden%20menu%20in%20Phoenix%20BIOS%20Setup%20Menu&ei=qjMITuuSOYT3sga7jdXUDA&usg=AFQjCNEWBD-q3UOECbV7GRI9zrKf3bwkYQ&sig2=vKrhXfow6IE2rMudxYvOAg&cad=rja

Actually you must be able to log something, from what I know there's any program which can do that.

Maybe the problem could be the network firewall, is there any rule which block connection on port 20 / 21? usually block port 20 and 21 except for the server which need to connect to a FTP server.

Yes I live in Switzerland, where did you work?
