The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

workgroup or domain

Hello Experts,

I am trying to find a solution as to why the laptops I have installed Vista is loosing the mapped network drives upon reboot since few days ... i  think the problem might be due the domain controller.

When I added a new user with exact credentials as of the laptop user on the server then the mapped drives to this server worked on this laptop.

I would like to know instead of creating new users on the Server, can I not assign the laptop a domain name on the server instead of work group?

Can someone please also advise if there are any  steps which needs to follow in order to set this up on any new machines in the future?

Many Thanks in advance

Regards
Kay
