2-2.2 gig scsi hds setup to mirror
tts is on
hot fix off

256 cache pipeline burst
1.2 gig ide hds.
Network
3com fast eithernet 100 M
wire cat-5 twisted pair
rj45 connectors
2-12 port Data Link hubs setup in a 2/star confg's.
Each hub has its own card in the server.
problem
At 64 meg ram the system functions very nicely for weeks.
When I install the other 64mb of ram, the systems comes down hard
with paging out of bounds errors or similar paging errors. This is not
consistant. May do it on bootup and volume mount or may run for a
few hours or 20 hours before it happens.
Cannot find the problem in the books???
Help please......

Any hints to make this easier besides making a global group and adding all
traveling users to it - and adding them as queue users to ALL the printer
object (and that would be hundreds!!).
Thanks for the info in advance.

My goal is to finish the required courses for the MCSE exam by the
middle of next year!
What I would like to know is if there are any NT Study Guides available.
There seemed to be plenty of Novell study guide books, including lots of
software available. I used these tools to test my knowledge with Novell
by using BigRed Self Test, CNE Quizer, and the Novell Assessment exams.
Does anyone know if there is anything similar to these exams for
Microsoft products?
Any help would be appreciated.

assistant: Does anyone know if NT has a "Standards Document" or the like for which

Novell supplied premade forms for which an administrator can list all
the user and group rights created, what directories and files contain
these rights, and what NIC address each user has.  In fact, Novell
pretty much pushed for accurate LAN information!
I haven't seen anything like this for NT thus far any my Workstation and
Server classes.  Does Microsoft not expect an NT administrator to keep
logs?
If anyone knows where I can get some logs already made, please forward
my way.
Since I work for a data processing center that keeps banking accounts
for 60+ commercial banks, we must have everything documented for both
our internal and external auditors!
If I have to restore the server software, I don't have anything to show
what rights I have assigned throughout the server and network.

Or you can just purchase NT and use its NetWare Gateway Services to
access all the resources on a Novell server from as many clients you can
use on an NT server using a limited, 2-user version of Novell.
Microsoft was pretty slick at doing this.  It also makes is easier on
client PC's by not having to use dual stacks for both Novell and
Microsoft.  The clients can simply run Microsoft services and access the
Novell resources through Microsoft; although a bit more slowly.
Nevertheless, it does work.

Is there any easy way to map a DOS variable to the Novell, or better

I'm trying to establish a dual type login script so that if a user logs
on under Windows '95, the Novell script recognizes it and does specific
drive mapping and if the user is not under '95, they get different
mappings.  I need a way to have Novell read the OS or read a DOS varible
to determine which fork to take.
