    Laptop on a domain - VPN Options?

    +1 for DirectAccess (Although you need Enterprise version of Windows...) If you're worried about the Trust Relationship/Secure Channel breaking, maybe you'd like to disable the computer password from expiring (https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj852191(v=ws.10).aspx)?

    To work as a Network Admin need a degree?

    OP, are you able to manage a network? If yes, apply. If no, then seek a role that's more suited for your skillset. Degrees/Certifications will help your career/job advancement. If you have the concentration, time, and financial investment, to actually acquire them, do it. I apologize...

    Multicast and WDS/MDT

    You're right. It is slow. Unfortunately, it's all I have. I'm looking to get a gigabit switch soon. Regarding my multicast question, I guess all I needed was to enable IGMP Snooping. I guess I'm good to go in that sense :)

    Office 365 for mail

    Which plan are you going with though? I see these: http://products.office.com/en-US/nonprofit/office-365-nonprofit-plans-and-pricing I use Office 365, and we went with Full, Installed Office apps (Click-To-Run). Pretty straight forward stuff. We have DirSync to automatically synchronize...

    Win7 x64Pro...DHCP "enabled" on an adapter not sticking?

    Anything in the Event Logs? I'm wondering if the DHCP Client service in Windows Services is set to something other than the default settings (i.e., Automatic, Local Service). If anything, are you able to just give yourself a static IP address on your WLAN network adapter, and match it...

    Multicast and WDS/MDT

    Catalyst 3560 Switch (IOS 12.2(55)SE9) Windows Server 2008 R2 MDT 2013 I want to setup multicasting for my imaging network (vlan 2, 192.168.2.0). This won't go over any other networks. I'm not familiar on how to set this up, so maybe someone here can assist? I have IGMPv3 snooping...

    It it a good idea for a windows server to be running DNS services?

    Although I would go a different route than most of the replies provided on this thread, I would really advise to go with the technologies the OP and his/her team can support, research, and ask for assistance if something goes over their heads. I tend to use Active Directory-Integrated DNS...

    Trouble accessing new Windows 7 pc across my LAN

    You don't get the "Remember my password" box when you get prompted to put in credentials? Doesn't XP have the Credential Manager too? Can you run this command from Run? rundll32.exe keymgr.dll, KRShowKeyMgr and just add the login you would use to connect?

    2003 shares not mapping through GPP

    The workstations are Win7 x86 clients. I think I figured it out though. I ended up recreating the GPO and apparently that worked. It could have been a timing issue to be honest. I just kept manually disconnecting the drives, ran gpupdate /force, log off/on, and the drives appeared just...

    2003 shares not mapping through GPP

    Anyone experienced this before? I have 2012 R2 shares that seem to be mapping correctly through User GPP, but the 2003 R2 shares are not (all in same GPO). I'm using Item Level Targeting to map to members of certain security groups. Interesting enough, if I log in with a problem user account...

    Trust relationship

    It's usually because the computer account's password (on the client) changed and it isn't in sync with the PDC Emulator (Active Directory). You could set the Maximum machine account password age to 0, and that could fix the issue. However, this is a security risk and I would run it by your IT...

    IE11 Enterprise Mode - Anyone ever used it?

    I will be testing this soon. I will be using the Enterprise Mode Site List Manager, and saving the file as an XML file to a network share my users can access (UNC). I ended up going with the following Group Policy: User Configuration > Policies > Administrative Templates > Windows...

    Friday stupidhead networking.

    How's that switch configured? It makes me wonder if DNS is an issue here. On the desktops, do they have DNS servers statically assigned? If they don't, set them that way, plug in your switch, and see what happens. Typically when I get a prompt to access network resources, it's because the...
