Stop users access to UNC within Office 2003 Apps
Just shooting from the hip here – I don’t know of any TS/AD tricks to remove the ability to type a UNC path in the file open window, but with the proper NTFS permissions on the other students folders and files, this shouldn’t be an issue. IF those proper permissions are in place, no one, [...]

Exchange 2003 problems on DC
I have Exchange 2003 running on Windows Server 2003 domain controller, and formerly on a Windows 2000 domain controller. It works fine although not “best practice”. Look elsewhere for the cause of your problem. I cannot suggest anything since you don’t describe it in any detail.

Installing RAID 1 on XP machines or use server software?
