    Need Cisco advice

    I disagree, there are plenty of excellent products made from vendors other than Cisco that have the same, if not more features and cost less than Cisco. That's one way to say it... another way to say it is that "Cisco makes it's own standards and then forces the rest of the industry to adopt...

    question regarding managed switch and ACL's

    If you want to control the traffic from the PCs to the server, you can put them into seperate VLANs and setup extended ACLs. If you want to control traffic between the PCs too you will probably need to define a VLAN for each physical port. That would mean setting up 25 subnets and several...

    'My Documents' synchronization problems

    The domain controller policy only applies to the DCs. I would not modify it. I added a few things to it like auditing and such. The domain policy is used to set policies for the entire domain. The only thing I use the Domain Policy for is setting the Password policy, lockout policy, and...

    Monitoring internet usage?

    Use a proxy server and force it to the clients with a GPO. I disabled direct internet access using Access Control Policies on the firewall (Netscreen-25). I use ISA server with SquidGuard Blacklists (imported as Destinations Sets) and then use Proxy Inspector to run reports on usage. I...

    Backups? Volume Shadow Copies? I have tried some server based undelete software before and I never had good luck with it. Too bad the recycle bin doesn't support network drives (except My Docs).

    Win2k3 Logon Script

    What you would want is to have two servers (both being domain controllers). Ideally, each is configured as an Active Directory Intergrated DNS server. You can use Root Hints or Forwarders, it wont really matter. Have one of the servers also act as the DHCP server. Turn off DHCP on the...

    Win2k3 Logon Script

    That's why you have a secondary DNS server. DHCP shouldn't be an issue at all. What is the lease time vs the time it takes to reboot? You do have another DC right?

    Win2k3 Logon Script

    host.domain.xyz is the FQDN. If the clients can't ping the DC via FQDN and they are unable to get the proper SRV records from the DNS server, I don't think the clients will get to the SYSVOL........

    Win2k3 Logon Script

    Does the script work if you run it as a user? Did you put the script in the SYSVOL? Can your client PCs ping the SYSVOL by FQDN? Are the clients getting getting the GPO (use gpresult to verify) Have you run gpupdate /force /sync /boot on the clients (if XP)?

    Importing user profiles into Win2k3 Domain

    Another vote against Roaming Profiles, they are more trouble than they are worth. Folder Redirection is the key. The only useful folder that GPO's doesn't redirect is Favorites, and that can be fixed with a Regedit in the login script. Also refining the Default User and All Users...

    Windows 2003 adminpak problems

    It's probably related to DNS (based on your other post). If the workstation can't query the DC for security to name mappings, it's not gonna work.

    Slow domain logon

    YOU NEED DNS!!!! Active Directory is DNS based. It uses SRV records to finds Domain Controllers. Unless the DC can register the all of the SRV entries, your clients are going to take forever to login. Not to mention, things like login scripts & GPOs aren't gonna work correctly.

    True, but my FDU's have the correctly colored Pigtails fusion spliced to the individual fibers. If I look at the splice pack, I can see all the yellow pigtails to tell me that it's SMF.
