What's New in Folder Redirection and User Profiles

These technologies are Folder Redirection and user profiles. This document discusses the improvements to these technologies and how to customize default user profiles. Folder Redirection Windows 7 improves first-time Folder Redirection performance by optimizing the behavior between Folder Redirection and Offline Files.

User profiles Windows 7 enables administrators to configure background uploading of roaming user profile registry data to a server while the user remains logged on to the computer.

I know this is a Win2008 forum, but I found a problem with Windows Server 2003 SP2 which might still be in Win2008, and I wanted others to avoid the same problem.

Remote Desktop to Windows 2003 Server SP2 when Domain Controller is unavailable

The problem: domain-member Windows Server 2003 SP2 machines prevent cilents from connecting via Remote Desktop unless the server can contact the domain-- even if the server has cached credentials available for the domain account the client is trying to use. This domain-disconnected case is probably common in Home Office scenarios, where machines occasionally connect to the domain (via RAS) but generally log in via cached credentials. Windows XP doesn't have the same problem, nor did (I'm nearly certain) Windows Server RTM. Somewhere along the way of patches and service packs, I believe my server lost the ability to use cached domain credentials for authenticating a Remote Desktop session. On the server's event log, I get two errors: one in the Application Log and one in the System Log. Visual Studio with Roaming Profiles.

I recently migrated a Server 2003 domain controller to Server 2008 R2.

Summary. Different Policies, Same Domain. A limitation of previous versions of Windows Server that often made Active Directory (AD) design complex was the inability to assign password policies to different groups of users without creating a separate domain for each group.

Consider a situation where the Accounts Department requires a more complex password policy than the rest of the company. The expense of provisioning an additional domain can be prohibitive, especially for small organizations. It may make sense, or even be necessary for compliance or political reasons, to enforce a stronger password or lockout policy for groups of users who have access to sensitive information on the network.

SharePoint Server 2010 - Create Web Application. How to Configure a Relay Connector for Exchange Server 2010. In most Exchange Server 2010 environments there will be the need to allow relaying for certain hosts, devices or applications to send email via the Exchange server. This is common with multi-function devices such as network attached printer/scanners, or applications such as backup software that send email reports. SMTP communication is handled by the Hub Transport server in an Exchange organization.

The transport service listens for SMTP connections on it’s default Receive Connector. However, this connector is secured by default to not allow anonymous connections (ie, the type of connection most non-Exchange systems will be making). You can see this in effect if you telnet to the server on port 25 and try to initiate unauthenticated SMTP communications. 220 EX3.exchangeserverpro.local Microsoft ESMTP MAIL Service ready at Wed, 18 Au g 2010 19:42:27 +1000 helo 250 EX3.exchangeserverpro.local Hello [192.168.0.9] mail from: somebody@hotmail.com 530 5.7.1 Client was not authenticated.
