There is no upgrade path from core to a full installation; you must do a clean install. Information that you can't export to other locations would be lost.

Here is a sample from another site on mapping based on group memberships: ' GroupMap.vbs ' VBScript to test group membership ' Script can be amended to actually MapNetworkDrive ' Author Guy Thomas http://computerperformance.co.uk/ ' Version 3.3 - May 2010 '...

Back in your gpedit local policy, what is your setting for Local Policies > Security Options > Network Security: LAN Manager authentication level ? You may need to check your NAS documentation to see if it recommends changing that to: Send LM and NTLM - use NTLMv2 session security if negotiated...

Ok. Different tack. In your net use command, are you using a domain username and password, or is that a NAS device username and password?

Carp! You're right. I was thinking of the Drive Maps option which is under the User Configuration which brings us back to the same problem. Hmm.

Yes, you could put this in the Default Domain Controller Policy if this is the only domain controller (assuming domain controller from "domain server") and no other machines will apply that policy. If it is not a domain controller, but just a member server in the domain, you can make a new...

Gpedit opens just your local computer policy. If you use gpmc.msc, that opens your domain group policies -- assuming that you have a domain, which you may not. The domain policies add the preferences section, which contain a lot more settings. Security filters are another gpmc addition. The...

Hmm, does it need to be a script? You could map a share through your GPO in Computer>Preferences>Windows Settings>Network Shares. If it's not something you have an OU, you could security filter the gpo for that one (or more) computer account (or a group).

Are you running your script via a GPO? If so, from the computer section or user section? If computer, try changing to user section. You might also enable "Always Wait for the Network at Startup and Logon" under Computer\Admin Templates\System\Logon. Perhaps also try net use /persistent:yes...

How about if you add a line "net use z: /delete" before your other net use z: line?

Is the script running on the server and mapping a drive from itself? Does this behavior change if you use the IP address instead of the FQDN?

Do you have other workstations on the network? What kind of speed do you get copying files between workstations? Do you have a separate switch or is everything plugged into extra ports on the router? What speed is your server NIC autonegotiating? It's possibly it may be having trouble with...

Are you trying to save information on this server other than the Active Directory information? If not, it seems like it would be far easier to simply create a second domain controller and use active directory replication to update the info. If you don't have an always on WAN link to the...

2008 has volume shadow copies. This works by backing up files on a set schedule, up to 64 versions retained. You can then revert to any of the backup versions. This doesn't help when all of the changes have been made after the last backup, though. Something like DocsOpenwould be a more...

It's really up to what you want, but if you are going to have 1 virtual server, then it's good to have 2 virtual servers. With 2 virtual servers you can move servers from one to the other if you need to, or recover your servers if one of the physical hosts dies. We're running just about...

I believe that the Belkin F7D4302 is only capable of forwarding UDP and TCP protocols. You will need to get a more advanced router/firewall in order to forward GRE -- for example one of the small office Sonicwall products. If this is just for home, and you like playing with tech, the DD-WRT...

Most of the Dell rack servers, at least, just have one built-in vga port, but an add-in card would be possible if you aren't filling the slots with other things.

netsh ipsec

If you run RSOP.msc on that machine, does the setting show correctly or not and either way does is show the correct GPO name for the setting? You may have a policy that isn't applying correctly or fully. You might also try creating a second policy that sets the same thing.

Make sure that your Windows 7 machine is configured with a DNS server that is in the new 2008 domain. To check if it is, go to a command prompt and type "ipconfig /all". Under the Local Area Connection you should see one or two DNS server IP addresses listed. Make sure the first one is the IP...
