I read this one. Maybe no one knows the answers to your questions or you're
not providing enough details. I cannot comment on that though, as I can't
remember any of your posts off the top of my head. Although this is a link
I'd typically post in an ASP group, the same logic can be applied.

Since you are using the web interface, you are probably having trouble
finding your posts and replies. Either switch to something like Outlook
Express, or search Google groups for your posts to find replies.

There are a few hundred posts added here daily, and those reading them and
replying are volunteers, not paid Microsoft empoyees.

Have patience. It was just 2 hours before that your original
message had been posted. I would like to answer your question
about the dialog box but I had never encountered anything like
it...so cannot provide an answer.

Sorry Guys, just having a rant, but I placed a problem in
Internet Explorer 6 about Compact Privacy Policies no no
one replied to it after a week, but it is a major problem,
and then this Run Dialog Error completely stumped me, so I
was feeling a little frustrated!

Part of your problem may be that alot of us have no idea what a
"Compact Privacy Policies" is! Although putting that phrase into my
Yahoo browser brought up almost a dozen pages of links.
And now your "Run Dialog Error" I never saw.

Same here, and I use a decent news reader and know hot to use it.
Like my last one was identical to an Exchange database corruption, but
on Active Directory itself, and Exchange has not touched this server.

Thins is, no hardware failure. Windows 2003 server decided to begin
corrupting Active Directory all on it's own.

I cured the fault by ripping out Active Directory (demoting the
server) and setting up the domain from new. Luckily, the server is
not in production yet, but hope to get it there by next weekend.

It's quite worrying that the absolute and most important core
component in Windows 2003 server can be faulty.

Just in case anyone is interested.... I caught the problem when I
tried to perform a test tape back-up.

(0x0000000000610000) for 8192 (0x00002000) bytes failed verification
due to a page checksum mismatch. The expected checksum was 602865412

read operation will fail with error -1018 (0xfffffc06). If this
condition persists then please restore the database from a previous
backup. This problem is likely due to faulty hardware. Please contact
your hardware vendor for further assistance diagnosing the problem.

I would have not discovered the problem otherwise as the server seemed
to operate correctly.

I suppose when enough people clock the fault then someone will try
suss out what's wrong.

Same here, and I use a decent news reader and know hot to use it.

The major problem is Microsoft's web-based news interface.
Many of the experts who used to participate in these groups
no longer do so, because Microsoft's web interface can't even
manage to put a "Re:" in front of responses.. So nobody can
tell the difference between new posts and responses to existing
questions. Horribly confusing.

Leave it to MS to ignore Usenet standards that have existed for
20+ years now, and to make their own support groups virtually
unusable.

Yeh, so who use the web-interface. Just point your news reader to
`news.microsoft.com`? Outlook Express is capapble to using
Microsoft's news servers.
