Friday
1. When removing the default password complexity requirements in a Windows 2003 domain, you must leave the options "defined" and "disabled" -- not "undefined" - If you set it to "undefined" you will end up re-enabling the requirements. How lame.
2. When using the BACKUP command in VMS to transfer files from one located to another, you can't use a wildcard in the beginning of the location.. unless you don't mind losing all the security information. the command should look like this
BACKUP/LOG/VERIFY SHIVA$DKA400:[000000...]*.*;* BOPP$DKB200:[user5...]*.*;*
3. If you are looking to upgrade an existing 2003 server with SP1 already installed to vR2, then you only need the second disk. However I dont currently have a volume license key for R2, so if i wanted to upgrade to R2, I would need to re-install 2k3 w/SP1 from the first disk and use my MSDN key.
