Hello, I've got a question about setting up servers via ADSL that I'm hoping
someone will be able to answer.
I'm not new to Microsoft networking or how a server works but I feel I'm a
bit rusty on multiple server things.

I am trying to write policy to set screen saver on workstations.  Where do I
find these files?

We have a very large mailstore on a disk that does not have much space left
after the databases. Today someone tried to send out an e-mail with a 250 MB

Is it possible to setup the virtual memory through GPO settings.
Environment:
                   Servers: W2k3 Active directory services

I just installed AD on a Windows 2003 server, making it the first W2k3 DC in
the Windows 2003 domain. All seemed to go well but now the server randomly

each of these sites gets corrupted in some form or other and that I would
like to go back to an earlier version of the AD(from a backup)

When I arrived on this site the domain it's self was in trouble - lots of
evidence of a bad history - none of the FSMO roles were held by the single

I've currently got my DC running on Win 2k and I am wanting to migrate
everything onto a new win 2k3 DC on new hardware. Migrating DNS and DHCP also.
What is the best way to do this? Has anyone seen any good tutorials on this?
Many Thanks,

Are there some diference between a Distribution List and Groups?
I mean, when we are talking about permissions. For example, I'm setting the
permissions for a resource account, if I add the user as an author on the
caledar permission tab it works properly, If I just add the user ...

Is there a version of Partion Magic that I can use on a Win2003 server on
AD?  Currently, there's only 450MB free space on C:\, but more than 34GB
free on partitioned D:\.  I'd like to reallocate some space around from D:\
to C:\.
