Cheers. I had half suspected that this might be the case - now I can go ahead and do this without fear that I might be neglecting a more elegant or proper solution.

I have a client who is having difficulty setting up a Remote Desktop server in their domain. They have added a number of users to the Remote Desktop Users in Active Directory, but their Remote Desktop server is not respecting this, and is instead only allowing users from the local group to have access. It is possible to add users to this group (either manually using Local Users and Groups, or by selecting users in the Remote Access configuration screen), but this is a workaround rather than a fix. I've tried adding the group DOMAIN\Remote Desktop Users to the SERVER\Remote Desktop Users but this doesn't work as that group simply doesn't appear in the list. I can't see ay relevant group policy settings, and as far as I remember there shouldn't be any need to modify Group Policy anyway. I get the feeling that this is a really simple thing, but I can't figure it out at all.

We have a server running Server 2003 32-bit which is causing us problems. Having recovered the system from a serious crash last week, we now notice that it is only running at 10 MB/s. It is connected to a 100MB/s switch, which as far as we can tell is working correctly. The card is a Broadcom Gigabit Extreme card (not sure of chipset off-hand) We have tried the following: * Changing the speed manually from 'Auto' to '100MB Full Duplex' and '100MB Half-duplex'. This causes windows to think the network cable is disconnected. * Updating the drivers * Changing the cable (it's never the cable) * Disabling the primary Broadcom NIC and enabling the secondary (identical) NIC None of these have worked. There is a third on-board NIC - an Intel 100MB device. We have tried enabling this in the BIOS and using this, but this is also restricted to 10MB/s. Setting it to 100MB/s manually causes the same problem. This is fairly obviously a problem with either the switch or Windows itself. I can't make any changes to the switch at the moment as there are other servers connected to it and I don't want to disrupt access to those servers. Is there anything else within Windows that we can try to fix this?

I've been using Excel 2010 at home to copy and paste some charts from Excel to Word. Now I'm at work, using Excel 2007, and it is giving me all kinds of grief. I have a load of data in a pivot table with a pivot chart linked to it. What I have been doing is changing the filters on the chart, copying the resulting chart and pasting it into Word. Each chart is pasted as a Graphic Object so that I can adjust the formatting from within Word. This is the right thing to happen. However, when I try the same thing in Office 2007, the charts in the Word document change every time I change the filtering on the Excel chart, so I end up with the same chart on every page, which is rubbish. Strangely, it remembers the formatting and title but changes the data and the legend titles. How do I make this work properly in Excel 2007? I've tried pasting as a picture, but that leaves me with no way to reformat the chart once it's in Word. I don't really want to have to do this work at home, but I might have to if 2007 continues to be a b***h.
