Windows 2003/ Exchange 2000 Mangled attributes

Jlcelestine — Mon, 24 Mar 2008 15:30:56 +0000

I have a windows 2000 Domain controller. it is the only server on our network, and is about to be replaced with a windows 2003 server. i have read several places that before i run adprep/ forestprep i need to run an inetorgpersonfix for exchange 2000 (what we currently use). but do i only need to do this if i am in a forest? because i am not. this is a one server show we are running here. in any case, i figured it wouldnt hurt to run the fix anyway, but i got an error message when i tried. any help would be greatly appreciated.

C:\>cd iop

C:\iop>ldifde -i -f inetorgpersonfix.ldf -v -c DC=X “dc=domain,dc=org”

Connecting to “server.domain.org”
Logging in as current user using SSPI

Question about IT management software

Natethegreat — Sun, 24 Oct 2004 19:58:32 +0000

Hello, I am just wondering if anyone knows of some software avialable for IT departments, that say is accessable to users through a company intranet site where a user can go in and log an issue or problem with thier system which goes into a database, then once the issue is resolved the user can go in a close out thier issue. It doesn’t nessecarily have to be accessed through the intranet site some sort of small desktop application would work as well. But once they log an issue, they can go and check the status of it, it would help IT departments track and keep an eye on issues or common issues, it would help management monitor the IT department and it will help users giving them the assurance that thier issue is being resolved and they an close the issue once it is resolved. My company only has about 50 employees so it doesn’t have to be anything huge. Any ideas? Or does something like this exsist?
