Hi, I recently installed an Enterprise Root CA on my domain and am running into some issues with my servers autoenrolling a computer certificate while all of my workstations can autoenroll without any issue. Also, the CA can autoenroll itself for a computer certificate as well. Some background regarding this listed below: -All servers are Windows 2003 SP2 Enterprise -All workstations are Windows 2000 SP4 -CA is installed on a member server in the domain -Workstations are able to autoenroll and request a cert via MMC and Web -Servers to include DC's are unable to autoenroll or request via MMC and Web MMC error I get is "The certificate request failed bec…

Running Win XP (home). Got an USB hard drive for backup. Right now, it's got tons of files on it. I'd like to delete all files, and go to a Ghost, Casper, or Acronis thing. Is there some simple way I can delete all files at once?

All, I've recently installed the Recovery Console on a 2003 x86 server and a 2003 x64 server (both new PowerEdge servers) however when I reboot and select the RC option it quickly displays "a disk read error occurred" and it fails to start. I figured that it was maybe having a problem reading the SCSI disk so I took a look at the unsupdrv.inf file in the cmdcons folder and it appeared to be referencing the percsas.sys driver correctly (i.e. correct PERC hardware ID and sys file location) so I'm at a loss as to what's up. Both installs were run from either the i386 or amd64 folders and both ran dynamic update during the install. Any ideas on this would b…

I have an XP home computer that I've commected an external USB drive to for back up. I've selected the C drive & system state for backup, to run every night at 1 AM, but nothing is backing up. Any ideas why? -- Mr. Simpson, there are thousands of people like you with no discernable talent. Yeah, they're called Congress.

Some programs by default installed to C:\Program Files\Common Files\ProgramFolder\program.exe\..., not into standard path C:\Program Files\ProgramFolder\program.exe. This path used intentionally. Why?

Hi again, It's been a while since I re-installed ME. Full install, not an upgrade. I was trying to recall if you have to Activate ME with Microsoft? Did it have that requirement back then or was this introduced with 2000 or XP? Please advise. Thanks! Lynn

Windows Server 2003 x64 with latest SP and patches. Upon reboot a large number of services fail to start. Primarily this is due to the ImagePath missing for that service in the Registry. When that value is entered manually, of course the service (and any dependant service) will start. What might be the reason for this? What other corruption should we be looking for? (Backup Exec 11d cannot query the System State when choosing it for backup.)

helllo How to create a System Restore point on my windows 2008 server TSE thanks

One of the Windows 2003 Member Servers within our Domain is keeping its local System Time incorrectly. We have repeatedly set the System Time to sync via net time to one of the Time Servers (Domain Controllers). When we perform this function manually from command line using Net Time, the time syncs to the time server and gives us back a "successful" message. Unfortunantly, we see that the local System Clock stays 1 hour behind even after this Windows Time success sync message. What could be causing the Windows Server 2003 to keep its local System Time 1 hour off, and not update its time based on time received from the Domain Controller?

Are registry cleaners a good idea or bad? I have done some reading and some say they are bad and some say they are bad. Has any one here had any experience with them good or bad. Or are they even necessary looks like Microsoft would build it into the operating system if it were needed. Sammy Castagna

Hello, We have three scopes set up, subnet 1, 2, & 3, on a single DHCP server. We have a VLAN for each subnet. However, if a machine moves from an office on subnet 1, to the conference room on subnet 2, the machine holds the old subnet 1 address. It will not give up the address on reboot, disable/reenable the NIC, release/renew, anything. The only way to get the address to be given up and get an address on the new subnet it to manually go to the DHCP server, delete the lease, set a static address on the NIC on the machine and ping, then set the NIC back to DHCP. At this point it will get the correct address on Subnet 2. Then this must be repeated when…

hey jerry, did you ever resolve this issue? i am experiencing the same thing but i have not seen resolutions posted anywhere. thanks - noel

Hi, I have exact the problem as described here, so I just post these links: http://www.itexperience.net/2008/03/13/quick-access-toolbar-in-office-2007-and-roaming-profiles/ http://www.technologyquestions.com/technology/microsoft-office/232919-office-2007-roaming-qat-quick-access-toolbar.html OS Terminal Server: W2K3 enterprise Windows Domain: W2K3 Microsoft should be aware of this, right?!
