I see a lot of excellent information out here in the discussion group but I understand little of it. I am technology savvy but not an IT man, so please be patient when I ask questions to clarify your responses.
My first question should be an easy one to answer. Has anyone told you all that they appreciate your help today?
I DO !!! Thank you for your kind nature and your choice to help others (like me)!

#1 In Event Viewer (Local) Application I have recurring event Source=Userenv Event 1053 every 9 minutes.
#2 In Event Viewer Directory Service I have recurring event Source=NTDS General Event 1126 every hour.
#3 In Event Viewer DNS Server I have recurring event Source=DNS Event 6702.
Also, I am surprised that the LAN NIC #1 is not set up as DHCP!
What information may you require to assist me?
