increasing disk space 1 2
by Guest Greg- 35 replies
- 1.7k views
I have an HP Proliant ML350 server running Windows Server 2003 and have two 34GB hard drives that are mirrored using a Basic (not Dynamic) disk setup. I have run low on disk space (2GB free) and would like to just increase the size of the current logical drive. I have installed two more 34GB drives that are mirrored (I assume because of the RAID controller settings since they show as one 34GB logical drive). When looking at the "Disk Management" profiles of the installed disks under the Computer Management console, it shows the existing disks as "Disk 0" Basic 33.91GB Online Healthy (System) and the newly installed disks as "Disk 1" Basic 33.91GB Online…

How do I confirm that my time server is running and that my work stations are pointed to it? I have a Windows 2003 server that is my DC. My XP SP2 workstations are not getting their time from that server. Their times are not the same anyway. All the workstations are port of my domain. Is there a good check list I can go throught to make sure everything is configured correclty? The Windows Time service is running and is set to start automatically. Event view doesn't have any Time Service event that I can see. Where do I find the "Peerlist" ? If I change the time on my DC, how long should I have to wait to see it change back to the correct time? How…

Directory Permissions - What gives? 1 2
by Guest Andrew- 27 replies
- 1.4k views
I shared a directory with one of our Windows 2003 servers and gave a user Full Control accesss to that directory. However, from his computer where he is logged on, he can't copy and paste anything to that directory. If he remote desktop's into the server and logs on as himself, he can browse to another network share and pull the file over without any problems. I never had this problem in Windows 2000. How do I configure a directory on a Windows 2003 server so that people can "push" files to that folder without logging onto the server locally and "pulling" the files over?

DNS/Active Directory Issue 1 2
by Guest Lem@community.nospam- 25 replies
- 1.2k views
I recently added a new dc that is also the new global catalog server. I was unable to demote the old dc using the dcpromo. I have 2 main problems: 1. Clients are not using the new active directory server, for example i am unable to share documents, cannot add users because I cannot find the ad when trying to change permissions, etc. 2. Clients are also not using the new dns server (which is also the new dc/global catalog server) to access the internet. I know this because everytime I unplug the old dc from the network no one is able to access the internet and they all have the new dns server added to their nic settings as the primary dns server. …

Hello Will, Normally only hardware that is hot swapable signed can be taken out this way. For example on our servers i can just take out one disk from a mirror or Raid 5 without any problem.

On a SBS (2003 R1 standard) somebody has been trying to log in to the RWW as webmaster during the past few days.

Roaming Profiles and redirected folders
by Guest Scott Micale- 24 replies
- 1.2k views
We have been using roaming profiles and redirected folders for awhile and we are noticing some serious slowness when a person goes to log into their machines. After you type in your password the message saying, "Loading your personal settings" is on the screen for a good 4-5 minutes before it changes to "Applying your personal settings". What can I do to troubleshoot this? Does it have anything to do with my roaming profiles or redirected folder setup? I created 3 shares on my server. One share is \\server_name\Profiles\ for my roaming profiles. I have the offline setting on this share set to, "Files or programs from the share will not be available …

start service with parameters on restart
by Guest exotericist- 22 replies
- 743 views
i'm charged with maintaining an application which has multiple listener services. the first service can be set to auto. subsequent services need to be passed a parameter to start. in 2003 i've used sc.exe to pass a parameter to a service on startup and this works fine. i could set it so that the services were started by the act of logging in. however, i'd like the services to come up automatically on restart without the need for user intervention, since that's what services are supposed to do. my question is, therefore, the one in the title: how can i start a service in windows server 2003 on machine restart and pass it a parameter? many tha…

Offline files synchronization fails for 4 files, "access denied"
by Guest mct@pioneerprogramming.com- 22 replies
- 1.4k views
I have a client who took her XP Pro laptop home over the weekend and made changes to 4 files which are in her My Documents folder. Her folder is on \\server\home$\username\My Documents. \\server\home$ is the share, with Everyone having full control of the share. Her My Documents is being redirected via group policy with Basic redirection to that folder. The folder was automatically created by the policy the first time she logged in, and the files were moved automatically to that folder with no problems. It has worked well for over a month. When she connects to the network, the warning appears in the system tray saying offline changes need to be synch…

Disable Print Job Notification Balloon
by Guest Kathy Meegan- 21 replies
- 713 views
Hello, Is there a way to disable the print job notification balloon in the system tray from the print server so it doesn't have to be configured on each workstation? On the print server I have tried Start/Printers and Faxes/File/Server Properties/Advanced/Unchecked "Show informational messages for network printers" but that doesn't work even after stopping and restarting the print spooler. Can this be set up as a group policy? Can we somehow set the balloon to only appear for a few seconds instead of 15 or 20? Can the balloon be setup so it only appears if there is a problem printing? Thanks, Kathy

uphclean tool
by Guest rocketz21- 21 replies
- 1.2k views
Does anyone have some experience or know anything about the uphclean tool and how it works? We use roaming profiles on a small one domain company and experience strange issues time to time and wondering if it's recommended to use this tool or not. Sometimes a user won't be able to log on with their roaming profile and logs them on with a default temp profile, sometimes the folder gets reset to a default empty desktop, other times the desktop doesn't even load and you need to restart. Just weird things like that and just curious if this tool is good to use on client pcs and what's the benefit? I don't want to slow down logon times anymore than they al…

Does anyone know if the update contained in MSKB 891957 was incorporated into SP2 for Windows Server 2003 R2? I am receiving Event ID 12289 from VSS just as a scheduled NTBackup kicks off. MSKB 891957 was pointed to from EventID.net as a solution for Event ID 12289. However, I already have SP2 installed and am still logging the events. Thanks. -- Bob Felton

KMS count for windows 2008 / Vista
by Guest Igor Karasik- 20 replies
- 1.9k views
Hi, We have KMS 1.1 service installed on windows 2003 server. Our KMS key (group B) activated on this server. We successfully activated 6 windows 2008 servers vs. our KMS server. Currently we have only 4 Vista Business computers and they don't want to do activation. Error message: "Error: 0xC004F038 The computer could not be activated. The returned count from your Key Management Service is insufficient." 1) After reading different articles about KMS activation - if I understand correctly - I thought Vista machines will do activation if we have at least 5 windows 2008 servers OR 25 Vista machines. Apparently, even with 5 windows 2008 servers we need …

Hi, We have a Microsoft Server 2003 with 3 computers (XP Pro) connecting via a LAN to synchronise files in the shared folders. There is also a Draytek Vigor 2800 router for internet access with a static IP and DHCP disabled. The server is giving out the IP's for the client computers but about twice a day the clients are going 'Off Line', they loose their IP address (it reverts to 169.xxx....) and are unable to access the server or get onto the internet or print (The printer is set up through the server). I have tried giving the clients static IP's but the same thing happens anyway. I have also tried disabling and enabling the LAN connection on the clients…

Question about mapping a shared folder
by Guest Marc S- 20 replies
- 672 views
When sharing a folder on a Windows 2003 Server, does the location of the actual folder matter? For example: If the folder called "data" is located on Server named DRSERVER on D:\Disaster Recovery Store\new\Data and has a "shared name" of "Data". So the actual folder is 3 levels down. Then would the mapped drive be just \\DRSERVER\Data ? (1) Does Windows just know to look at a root level to see all "shared folders"? (2) No matter where the folder is actually located, the UNC would always be \\servername\shared folder? Is there documentation on this anywhere? Thanks.

Anyone running Java on WS 2008?
by Guest Dominick- 19 replies

Is anyone running Java (32 bit) on IE7 under Windows Server 2008? I have done all the steps to try and trouble shoot this, but it does not support applets on my machine. I have reset IE7, uninstalled, confirmed uninstalled with Windows Install Cleanup, turned off AV and antispyware, reinstalled, and when I go to a test applet page the JRE (v 6u6) shows in the system tray, and a blank window pops up with a little Java icon in the top left corner, but nothing happens on the IE7 web page that should show a test applet running (one of the standard ones on the Internet, not anything I wrote). The kicker is, JRE runs fine with Firefox. To me this looks li…

Hacker locking my accounts
by Guest just bob- 19 replies
- 549 views
Microsoft wizards please help me as I am desperate. Someone continues to lock all my admin accounts. My firewall is working properly (allowing only port 53) so I think the guy is using one of the 120 PC's or another server on my network to read my user database and identify the admin accounts and send a command to lock them. We've got the latest Symantec antivirus corporate edition installed and updated on all the machines and it's supposed to identify spyware, etc. Why is it so easy for this guy to do this? I have downloaded all the high priority updates for all machines, servers and PC's. We've also used the server lockdown tool. Why doesn't this help?…

OK, I have a sched. task in Windows Server 2008 64 Bit RTM Enterprise, that fires (sorry, I mean sexy new term "Triggers") on second Thursday of every month, then repeats every hour. However, although I ask it to stop after 6 hours,it keeps going & going up to 8 hours now and counting!!!!!! I am seeing posts on this in Vista groups also (no surprises there - same kernel). So, can MS admit this is a bug and advise when this will be dealt with please? Oh the pain, the pain. (Dr. Smith) Thanks.

Hi, I have Windows server 2003 with about 40 clients attached. I did have Webmarshal 3.5 and a firebox connected but this was causing loads of problems so I have unintalled Webmarshal and taken the firebox from the system. I have given the router DHCP ability and taken it from the server. I am now able to access the internet from the server without any problems but all of the clients just get 'this page can not be displayed' message. I am able to ping the site from the clients computer though. We have a static IP address The router is 192.168.0.254 The server is 192.168.0.203 the ipconfig /all on the server is.

Antivirus Solutions

We're currently running SAV Corporate 10 on our 2003/XP network and really don't want to shell out the $1500 for new 50 new licenses. Symantec has become increasing more bloated with each new version to the point where, if I wanted to upgrade to Endpoint Protection 11, I'd need to upgrade my workstations, and that's not going to happen any time soon. I've been looking into some alternate solutions and wanted some opinions on NOD32. AVComparatives.org shows it has a high detection rate and there seems to be a lot of praise coming from IT admins in various forums. I've installed the trial and like it so far. Uses much less resources than SAV. Anyone h…
