Legacy Operating Systems

Hi all, We have an accouting software that uses the local computer\username to authenticate to the server shared folders in this way: local-pc\local user No matter if you had already established a connection with the server or not. The clients are not in the domain, and due other reasons will not be added. The clients OS is windows xp and vista. My question is if I can create a new user account that reflects the remote computer and remote user in the DC, or make it accept the connections from them. Thanks, Isaac

Hi, The printer folder on one of my windows2000 servers won't open (also a TS), it just hangs. Also the server cannot browse the network, again it just hangs. No issues until I ran windows updates earlier this month. I've removed the windows updates which were installed but still no joy. The office updates(office 2003) I installed can't be removed as they aren't in add/remove programs. If I reboot the server it works fine for just over an hour then starts with these issues again. Any ideas please guys? No errors in event viewer.

We have Windows 2008 Server with Terminal Server RemoteAPP services installed. The application I want to publish requires a mapped drive. If I use a Remote Desktop session, I can launch the app fine. The "desktop" environment gets the mapped drive either from Group Policy based on the user logon or because the drive is mapped locally on the server. If I use RemoteAPP, I am getting errors and the app is not working. It appears (but I am not 100% sure) that the mapping might not be working. Since there is no desktop environment, I can't verify mapping or even run CMD to see what environment variables are set. I have a VB Script that runs at logon w…

Anybody know how I can obtain a copy of the TS ECL EULA? We're looking at deploying it for an ASP scenario running on Server 2003 Datacenter CPU licenses and want to make sure we're EULA compliant before we make the big purchase.

Hi All, First of all, I am new to both windows server 2008 and Volume shadow copy services. I am writing an requestor application to take backup of active directory. So following "Overview of Processing a Backup Under VSS"(http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa384589(VS.85).aspx) link.

So can anyone suggest me how do i rectify this problem. code snippet: HRESULT hRet = S_OK; IVssBackupComponents *pBackupComp = NULL; IVssAsync* sync = NULL…

Is there a utility that will show which ACLs (chaining up from the current folder location) is the one that is responsible for each effective permission a user has on a file or folder? I have always understood that Modify permission in an ACL only gives the user the ability to change data, and not the ACL itself. Changing the ACL itself requires Full Control permission. I have a user with Modify access to a folder who is somehow able to add new users into the ACL. When you look at Effective permissions he does have the "Change Permission" permission. The thing we cannot figure out is where is this being inherited from. -- Will

I was wondering this because of the recently discovered vulnerability within NT even though Microsoft does not support 98, 98 Second Edition and ME effective as of July 11, 2006.

I have 2 Samsung DVD units in my XP based PC. One is a reader, the other a writer. When I try and open a commercial DVD in either unit, media player shows the dvd contents down the right side but it appears when it tries to start audio, the system crashes and automatically reboots. This happens with both units. So far I have run Driver plus and upgraded all my drivers to current level. Loaded latest firmware on each of the DVD units, installed Windows Media Player 11 and the windows supplied codecs, upgraded XP to SP3. Both units play audio cds no problem - mediaplayer plays all my wmv files ok. I also have NERO on the machine and as soon as I start Sho…

Hi, I have a PC that has recently been updated to Win XP SP3. However, when it now attempts to open files that are located on our domain server the Open File Security Warning box appears everytime. We had turned this off by adding our Domain Server name to the "Trusted Sites" area of IE7 when running SP2, however the upgrade to SP3 seems to have brought it back and ignored the fact that our server is still listed as a trusted site! Can anyone shed any light on how to solve this problem and remove the annoying prompt? Thanks Paul

I have a Windows 2003 server running low on disk space for the C drive. I've already cleaned out my temp files and any other thing I can think of. Under the Windows directory I see a folder titled ServicePacksFiles which contain the I386 folder and a folder called ServicePackCache. Can I move this folder to another drive on the same server without casuing any problems to my server? This would free up over 700Mbs.

Is there a tool or a command line that I can check a server to see what I will need to address before or after when upgrading from Windows 2003 to Windows 2008. Thanks in advance, Eric Sabo

Hi all, I also posted this in the Office thread however i don't know if it's an Office or server/network issue as yet. Replaced an old working ok network with all new equipment. Including a Server 2003 R2 DC. Unmanaged Switch. Linux gateway and 12 PC's. The only thing that still exists from old equipment is the cabling. Problem: When opening an Office 2007 document from a PC or notebook (from either in domain or standalone) from a network drive, it intermittently crashes PC's/server. Symptoms: If we're lucky it causes the PC to stop responding for 5 minutes before closing the Office application. When possible a restart will then render the PC us…

Hello, we have two Iomega Storcenter Pro 150d NAS in our network. Since we migrated the domain to windows 2008(Windows 2008 native mode), we are not able to acces the shares on the NAS anymore. We always get a "login failed" message. Web login still works. There seems to be a parameter in Windows 2008 default domain configuration(NTLM level or other), which prevents the NAS from authenticating users agains the domain. Any idea? Best regards PR

Hello. I am running Vista 64 Home Premium. My relevant system specs: Asus P5B-E mobo (Intel 965 chipset) Q6600 4GB OCZ PC 6400 RAM. I have been running this configuration for 6 months or so and *just* last night, I noticed that Windows is no longer recognizing the full 4GB of RAM. I first noticed something out of the ordinary when gaming, and the game began to stutter badly due to disk swapping, which never happened in the past. When I tabbed out of the game I saw my "All CPU" gadget showed 99% utilization, which again, never used to happen. After rebooting and checking a few more things (including turning down graphics settings on the game), I r…

Hi all. Since a day or two my XP Pro SP3 / IE 7 (7.0.5730) installation is acting up. All of my user name / password combinations seem to have disappeared. Worse, whenever XP asks me to save the password I click "yes"; but the next time I have to retype the whole thing. Also, the same happens with Live Messenger. I've done some searching here and found the comments about deleting the protected storage key. Doesn't help. I've restarted the PC several times since it first happened. No joy. And just now I reinstalled IE 7. Same problem... If you know what's going on and how to fix it I'd appreciate your help! Thanks, Erik

Hey guys. I decided to upgrade my WinXP setup to SP3. After doing so I can't access my SeaGate ST332062OAS 300 GB SATA HD . A couple things to note, before the install, the SATA drive was assigned with F: but now for some odd reason after install reassigned my original IDE drive to F: instead of C: (weird). Also in Disk Management, the IDE comes up as Healthy (System) and the SATA drive comes up as Healthy (Active) so apparently to some degree Windows knows it's there, but just won't let me access it. I'm not sure what to do, there's some pretty important Docs that I can't really afford to lose on the drive otherwise I would have formatted that ba…
