Legacy Operating Systems

Good Day Please can someone help, i have a Windows 2003 server with around 50 users connecting to it, sometimes the TS will keep their printers from previous sessions, so it will show two printers eg: HP1018 in session 10 and HP1018 in session 12 , i think this maybe from the users being disconnected if the line drops, or maybe if they close the terminal sever session by clicking on the cross at the top of the screen instead of logging off correctly by going, start - logoff. Another problem that happens is that quite often it will show all the printers on the server instead of just the users printers. So i was wandering if there was a way to stop th…

My hard drive ,80 (GB), has almost no space left vacant on it. It has 65 (GB) of built in administrators on it, which accounts for most of the problem. What are Built in administrators, do I need them, and what can I do to eliminate this problem? Thanks for any and all help. -- Lester Clark

someone in my office has Windows XP SP2, 3.2Ghz Celeron Processor with 1GB memory. She has a 35GB C drive partition, 22GB of which is free. When she has multiple MS Word documents open (in this case she had 3 big ones open) the message "Disk Full" pops up. What would cause this?

pc keeps rebooting. message says autochk program not found then reboots continually

Re: Disk full error Never mind the RAM count, I re-read the OP. Even at 3.2 Ghz a Celeron is severely limited doing the work you indicate. "R.

I'm posting on behalf of a friend who is getting a 301 keyboard error upon booting with the native USB keyboard on her Compaq XP desktop. She purchased a PS/2 keyboard and it works fine, but she highly prefers her Compaq USB keyboard and wants to get it working as it did before. Any troubleshooting assistance will be appreciated. Thanks.

Late model IBM Server Windows2003 Server standard SP2, almost all updates except for the ones dating back a week (or two). The server will go through the POST and then display Windows Splash Screen, then show progress messages; “Starting Windows”, “Applying Security”, “Applying Settings”.. – eventually showing the login (if lucky). But before login, the server will spontaneously shutdown/reboot. I was able to boot to safe mode just fine. No shutdowns/reboots at all in safe mode. The last error in the System event log before shutdown refers to the WSUS. Event ID 1010 “A process serving application pool Wsus Pool failed to respond to a ping” Next …

On-line lists of features for VS 2008 list the capability of emitting code for 64-bit computing if VS is installed on a 64-bit computer. Does anyone know if such installation is sufficient to cause VS to emit 64-bit code, or is there additional parameters that must be set during installation or at development time to cause VS to emit 64-bit code? *TimDaniels*

Hi! I am running Windows Terminal Services in Application Mode on a Windows Server 2003 machine. The users at the office premises are gettting access to the server from their desktop with the Remote Desktop Protocol client, through the LAN. Currently they are also able to log on remotely from their home through the Internet. I wish to block this access for some of them. Is there a way to do that? Help appreciated Nicolas

Hi everybody! I have following scenario/problem: W2003 TS running in a school. To avoid too many dead sessions, the session count per user is restricted to 1 session only. Also the "reconnect only from same client" hook is set. In the logon script there is a logoff session that compares username and clientname to a ini-file so that the students can only logon with e.g User01 on Terminal01 User02 on Terminal02 and so on. The problem now is, that some "funny" students discovered, that they can take over a active session from their neighbour by logging on at their trm with the neighbours credentials. Since it is a school there are no passwords set so if user01…

All, Suddenly, temp files with a .tmp suffix have begun to appear in various folders. It looks very much as if temp files associated with documents I've been working on haven't been closed properly -- the files have file name corresponding to a file I've been working on resently, adding some gobbledygook and .TMP. So, for instance, myfile.ppt would create one or more myfile.ppt~RFf097fa.TMP or similar. It has begun some 4-6 days ago. I've added a few software packages but no material changes. I have some 7.5GB free on a 65GB hard disk. Thanks in advance Henrik

Issue: Laptops hang at "loading profile" after login w/ domain account when not on the domain. OS: Windows XP SP3 Domain Controller OS: Windows 2003 x64 SP2 Details: Laptops login fine when connected to the domain. Recent Changes to Group Policy: none Recent Software Installations: none Other Recent Changes: I think DHCP and DNS was recently turned off on one of our servers. Possibly also the server role was changed so it is no longer a domain controller. We still have another domain controller running DHCP and DNS. I will try to confirm these changes with the techs and get more details. Also there have been many Windows patches lately. Possibly Relat…

Correct me if I'm in the wrong news group for my question. I'm looking for a way to log/track all AD users that send print jobs to our printer. Lately, users have been wasting a lot of paper and I want to see who is doing this. One of our printers is an HP 8100 shared out on a AD Windows 2003 SP2 box. Any thoughts our suggestions? Dan

*reposted from 'network_web' as no response there* I have recently installed WinXP Pro (previously Win2K) on my small (two PC) home network. Previously I had shared folders and CD/DVD drives between the two PCs. After the install, I can share folders but do not get the share option for the DVD drive: http://www.firish.com/share1.JPG http://www.firish.com/share2.JPG The sharing of the file folders is fine (ie, I have connectivity, permissions, etc.). Any ideas what is going on here? Thanks. PS I have since found a setting in Policies that enables/disables that share but confirmed that the switch is set correctly.
