confused about time synchronisation
by Guest Jeroen Wijnands- 2 replies

I've got a small customer domain consisting oft 4 windows 2000 member servers, 1 windows 2000 domain controller and, since a few months 2 windows 2003 domain controllers. 2 of the member servers are running an application that requires these 2 servers to agree on time. Since there was upto a 50 seconds discrepancy I was asked to investigate. I followed http://support.microsoft.com/kb/816042 to set the windows 2003 server that was the pdc emulator to use an external timesource. After this I stopped the w32time service on all the servers, did a w32tm -s and started the service again. All the windows 2000 servers now agree on the correct time. The 2003 servers …

Hi: I have Windows Server 2003 sp1. I had installed Certificate Services and it was working fine for me. It suddenly stopped working and not if I try to start the service I get "Certificate Services did not start: Unable to initialize the database connection for <CAserver>.

Windows Server Cal license compliance
by Guest headgeek- 1 reply
- 148 views
What is the recommended way to ensure license compliance for Server CALs? In Windows 2003 there was the licensing utility but it looks like in Windows 2008 even that was removed. For the minute I am interested in Windows 2003 but also would like to know how installations ensure comliance in Windows 2008. I have read the Microsoft documentaiton and I think I understand when I need a CAL and when I don't but our installation is complex enough that it will be difficult to accurately estimate this without some software prividing an audit. We are migrating from Novell and will be a fairly large installation - 25,000 workstations/users plus about 4,000 exter…

WIN2003: VPN Clients not getting IP Addresses
by Guest Gary- 0 replies
- 139 views
I need some help with Windows Server 2003 Routing and Remote Access and DHCP. Suddenly, VPN clients no longer get IP Addresses from the server when connecting up. My VPN connection shows an Autoconfiguration IP address instead. I saw some errors in the event log for Remote Access, but when looking at another server that is working, it has the same errors in the event log. Namely, event id: 20192 and 20169. 20169 actually describes kind of what my problem is...but since it still occurs on a working server, I'm assuming these are both unrelated. I'm not even sure where to start looking. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Restrict folder permission to prevent from moving
by Guest Fat Frog- 6 replies
- 292 views
I am trying to set up a folder permission like this: Regular uses are able to modify existing files and subfolders, create new files or subfolders; but they should not be able to move the said folder, because sometimes this folder was accidentally moved to somewhere else, possibly due to a slippery mouse. I had tried to take "modify" out of the permission list, this allows the user to write new files, but will not allow to modify existing files. They cannot even do "Save As". Thanks and regards. TL

Re: 2003 server hangs at Applying Computer Settings - Can't login Hi Thread, I had exactly the same problem. Normal boot activity, IP stack comes up OK, server making all the right noises but hangs at the "Applying Computer Settings". By 'hangs' I mean, the system was obviously still responsive, but would not complete this process, hence no CTRL + ALT + DEL screen. The server was running Windows 2003 SBS server SP2 on a HP ML350 G5 which has known issues with the NIC (HP NC373i). I updated the driver to the latest edition, latest BIOS and latest NIC BIOS firstly and then opened a command prompt and did... C:\>NETSH WINSOCK RESET OK. Reboot to com…

Can't save spreadsheets... file in use
by Guest cmatera- 3 replies
- 219 views
We have a 2003 Server in a LAN environment. Some of our users are trying to save changes to a spreadsheet using Office 2003SP3. When the user tries to save the changes, the error msg from excel is "can't save - file in use." Copying the folder down to the local machine and copying it back up seems to work. However, simply working from the server does not work. Drives are mapped to letters i.e.: G:\ = \\servername\group\directory and the permissions are setup correctly, in fact this hasn't been an issue until last week. Running Process Explorer from sysinternals on the server doesn't show any locks or handles on the file. Disabling our A/V scanner do…

Change WS2008 logon screen to 2003/XP style?
by Guest IT Guy- 1 reply

I absolutely *hate* the WS2008 logon screen for domain joined servers. It takes several clicks to logon, plus the available domains are not listed. I can't see how anyone in their right mind thought the change could be good. How can I revert the logon screen back to the 2003/XP style with the drop-down for the domains?

For default domain group policy, it showed the policy "Password must meet complexity requirements" was not defined. For default domain controller group policy, it said something like 'The policy engine did not attempt to configure…

Problem with clients getting disconnected from mapped drives

- 178 views
Hi We are experiencing problems with some of our clients losing their connection to our mapped drives. We use offline files and what happens is that suddenly the Offline file notification pops up with a message telling the user that they are working offline. The connection to our Exchange server is still running and the user can use the internet as well. If the users just right-click on the Offline notification and select synchronize they get connected to the mapped drives again. This is a problem that occurs around once a week, we have around 40 clients and about 10-12 of them experience the problem. They are connected to different network hardware …
