Network log on problems
by Guest zmoustache- 1 reply
- 364 views
Hi... Hoping you can help with this problem User gets pop up saying windows passwords will expire in 14 day (something like that) We have nothing set up like this for the passwords...just to reset once a year. User will reset password and then after logging on again can not log in with that password. User is also locked out after 1 attempt? However, if user changes password to same one as before, then there is no problem At first it was just 1 user...now it seems to be affecting all users. If the user changes password and gets messed up, then it's a pain to get them back to the way they were before...I delete various workgroups from the profi…

Cannot create large files on USB drive
by Guest Bill Smith- 2 replies
- 395 views
We are using a windows sbs 2003 server. We are backing up to multiple external usb drives that we rotate in and out. YES, the usb drives are formatted with NTFS. There are approx 400GB of free space on each drive. We are using Nova Backup to accomplish the backups. We are backing up approx 40gb. The issue we are having is that when Nova does the backup, it creates several smaller files opposed to just one large backup file. The files are approx 4gb each so I initially thought the external drives were formatted in FAT16 or FAT32 but that isnt the case. I cannot find any setting in Nova Backup that allows you to set it to create just one large file. …

Extend Partition
by Guest John- 5 replies
- 633 views
Hello all: Here's the deal. We got a new server with Windows 2003 x64 Standard. It has only 12GB for the OS partition w/only 4 left. We have 200+GB of unallocated space that I would like to extend this partition onto (at least 8 more GBs). I know this can be done with diskpart but since this is the system partition, needs to be done from the command line (i.e. boot into DOS). However, to do so requires a boot disk with the proper RAID drivers (this is a Dell PowerEdge with a PERC 5/i). We do not have a floppy and I have tried creating a boot CD with the drivers slipstreamed, but that failed. My next resort was to use the Windows Automated I…

Windows 2008 Remote desktop instances

In all windows 2003 servers we have possibility to use two parallel remote desktop connection plus one console connection. (mstsc /v:XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX /console) On all our new Windows 2008 Enterprise servers we can only have one remote desktop connection, and it seems that it is the same as console connection. Should we activate some services to have the same possibilities in windows 2008? Regards MarcusB

Workgroup Question

- 404 views
I have a server running Server 2003 Standard that I want to set up for a small group of computers running WinXP Pro for file sharing purposes. I want to leave the server and computers in a workgroup, rather than adding them to my domain. Question: If I create a unique workgroup on the server, is there a way to add some type of security to that workgroup that would prevent users from adding unauthorized or unwanted computers to that workgroup? Some what like joining a computer to a domain which has to be done with an account with proper rights. Thanks

Converting Dynamic Disk back to a basic disk
by Guest Saral6978- 5 replies
- 531 views
This is my situation - I have an old HP storageworks attached via SCSI cable to an HP Proliant DL380, Windows 2003 SP2. When the storageworks got migrated to this server, I accidentally converted the array to a Dynamic disk. I have since removed all data from this volume, and the only thing left is the System Volume Info and Recycler folders (hidden folders). I understand the first step in converting back to basic is to delete the volume itself (using Disk Mgmt). I attempt this step and I get the following warning: "The volume storage (E:) Simple volume is currently in use. To force the deletion of this volume, click Yes. Warning, forcing a deleti…

We currently have a GPO set for our eventlog sizes. We would like to remove the GPO, but in testing have seen that the event log drops back to the setting(s) that were in place prior to the GPO. Is there a location in the registry that 'saves' these old settings? Thanks Ken

Configuring multiple outgoing fax printers, W2K2003
by Guest thundergod255- 0 replies
- 300 views
We have installed a four port modem in our Windows Server 2003 Domain Controller. This server is also used for file/print sharing. The goal was to have four printers that connect to each of the four ports on the modem so that users can decide what the outgoing number/line will be and print to the respective one. After installing the modem I can see all of the ports configured under fax services, but I can't seem to figure out how to make multiple fax printers. Is this possible? Thanks!

PXE windows install
by Guest freedom rock- 2 replies
- 380 views
Hi All, I’m tying to find a good package to manage PXE installs of Windows 2K3 systems on multiple hardware platforms. I used a package a couple of years ago that allowed for multiple driver packages and options for scripted installs, but I can’t seem to remember what the name of the package was. The plan is to set up something simple enough that the junior admins can rapidly build out servers that come will out consistent, and do it without adult supervision. (You’re basic DUH mode) Has anyone had any experience in this area? Thanks Dan H

Win2k3 Packet Size
by Guest brycejlowe- 0 replies
- 322 views
I am not really sure where to go with this. I am currently at a loss. I am trying to optimize communications between our iSCSI SAN and Windows Server 2003 boxes. Right now I am doing test copies between two Server boxes but the issue exists when I copy between a host and the SAN. Basically my servers are transmitting packets with a maximum size of 61K. My test switch can only handle 1.5K. We are going to be using jumbo packets but the 61K is still over the amount that switch can handle. Now I do not experience this on file transfers between Windows Vista boxes. Can someone tell me if this is normal? Let me know if you need clarification. -- bry…
