EFS blocking users from accessing their encrypted files
When we upgraded the server from Server 2000 to 2003 there were some user
documents that were encrypted (not sure if before or after the upgrade).
The users are now unable to decrypt the files, copy or even read them, and
even though I took ownership of one of the files (as a test) as the domain
admin, neither can I.
The error message when trying to decrypt is: "An error occurred applying...

Auto-enrollment setting at different OU levels
We have stumbled across something a little bizarre when trying to set
auto-enrollment for computers at levels below the domain object.
What I mean, is that if we set a GPO (say in the default domain policy) at
the root of the domain to autoenroll, then computer objects happily accept
the cert that is automatically given to them. However, further down, if we
set a GPO (say at a server O...

scheduled task
I log in as administrator.
It seems the only way I've been able to get my bat files in scheduled tasks
to run reguraly is to check the box "On resume, display Welcome screen" in
screen saver and let windows log me out.
If I log out normaly as administrator I will sometime get the 0x4 in the

Write but no overwrite?
I have recieved an odd request. Basically what is desired is the

able to delete or overwrite those files. Is this possible?
The machine in question is running Server 2003.
I was told this had been the case in the past but am finding no

Ok, on one of my Windows 2003 servers I keep getting this error in the event

spy ware, a virus to something Microsoft uses to even a worm. Can anyone

Look at the permissions from Windows XP and the folder doesn't appear to be

Hi All,
Sorry if this is the wrong group but I wasn't sure where to post it....
What event is logged in W2K3 when a disk is below 10% free disk space. I
found http://support.microsoft.com/kb/112509 that shows how to configure it
in 2000 and our MOM alerts now work fine with those servers but I need to do
the same for the W2K3 servers and I can't find which event I need to

389 (LDAP)
53 (DNS)
assume both TCP and UDP for the above. The problem is I...
