scheduled task job (access denied)
by Guest pedro28@gmail.com- 3 replies
- 2.9k views
windows server 2003 r2 sp2 I created a domain acocunt called domain\username and added that account to the "log on as batch" and "log on as service" and "backup files and directories" in local security policy. When the job runs the log shows access denied. To clarify I set the job to run with the account I created and with the correct password which I also validated. I notice the job will only run if I add the above account to the adminsitrator group and I do not want to do that. What other priviliges are needed for a scheduled task job to run without adding it to the administrator group? Any help is grealty appreciated thank you.

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 …

increasing disk space 1 2
by Guest Greg- 35 replies

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…

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…

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?

High CPU Usage After KB958644
by Guest jason.hill- 9 replies
- 1.3k views
Hi, We installed the critical update KB958644 on a Windows Server 2008 machine 2 days ago and have experienced a massive increase in CPU utilisation, apparently for the System process. Our performance monitor reports typically showed the web server running in the 5-15% CPU utilisation range for the whole day even under fairly heavy load. For the last 2 days, the CPU graph now looks like an earthquake has hit and we have had to reboot the server both days to reset the CPU to normal. Today, the graph was showing 90%+ CPU utilisation and we were not able to RDP to the box and all web sites were non-responsive so had to get the ISP to do a hard reboot. The grap…

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…

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 …

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. …

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.

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

I am using WSUS to push updates, and recently have had on Office update that requires the end user to accept an EULA thing, yet it doesn't take the accept. It keeps popping up. It appears to go away with admin rights. I do not want to have to visit each one of these machines with the login out... required. Is the a fix for this so the user can accept it or it is done from the server? I posted this under WSUS group but haven't seen an answer.

Hi all I am sure the bulk of the questions behind this topic are concerned with how to turn it off. But we print over a WAN and I need to ensure the successful print popup window appears for users who print to remote printers in other geographical locations. 1.

Ok, i'll start off with my network topology. I have a Windows 2003 Server (SP3) running a 5TB RAID5. I have 1 Windows XP workstation, 1 Windows 2000 Workstation and one Ubuntu Linux workstation. Please note I did not have this problem when I was running XP Pro on the machine that is now running 2003 Server, so I have almost no reason to believe it is a hardware problem. I am running simple file sharing (This is a home network, I had to go to 2003 to handle GPT volumes unfortunately). I have administrative accounts on all 3 windows machines with administration permissions and the same password. The Issue: When I login to one of the workstations…
