Okay so I'm setting up a mail server using 2003 server and I can't get it to work properly Every time I set up to get my mail from the server in outlook I get the following error after hitting the "send/receive" button: Task 'THETEST - Receiving' reported error (0x800CCC92): Your em-mail server resjected your login.

MS File Server Migration Wizard question
by Guest AllenK- 0 replies
- 142 views
Hello all, I am going to be installing a W2K3 Server in an existing W2K domain and I would like to use the FS Migration Wizard to copy shared folders to the W2K3 machine. One thing I have noticed is the old server has shared subfolders under shared folders. Example: \\oldserver\apps\users. I would like to maintain the same shared names on the new server as the old server. By default the new shares are created with a _oldservername at the end of the share name. I know I can change the root share before copying the shares, but have not figured out how to change the subfolders sharing so the _oldservername is not part of the new share. I'm not…

PATH environment variable hosed, and all normal files need Administrator access (??!)
by Guest Jon Davis- 1 reply
- 149 views
Using Windows Server 2008 as a developer workstation, with all recent updates installed. If I open a command prompt (cmd.exe) as myself, the global PATH variable is populated. But it doesn't do much good because, as a developer and power user, I cannot do anything I'd normally do, like "defrag" because you must run cmd.exe as Administrator. If I open a command prompt "as Administrator", the global PATH variable is NOT populated; only my profile PATH that normally gets prepended to the global PATH is populated. I had to create a setpath.bat file and paste my global PATH variable. But that was a kludge and I'm finding normal, non-console apps not fu…

I have a W2K3 Enterprise Print Server. It has about 120 printers on it. Most are HP Printing Devices. As of recent we are having many of the HP printer queue's freeze. The only way to gets jobs flowing thru them is to restart the Printer Spooler Service then delete all the jobs then it starts working again. This does not affect any of the other Printer's. We are having to do this about 3 times a week with different printer's. Any suggestions on why we keep having to do this?

Hello, Any software or windows update related installs take FOREVER on our 2003 server.

Cannot log onto DC console
by Guest Thorny- 7 replies
- 285 views
Hi Guys, I have a customer who is running a windows 2003 domain in mixed mode and has 2 DCs, one is a File server and the other a SQL server. Whenever I try to log onto the console of the File server DC (either physically connecting to the machine or using mstsc /console), I enter the user credentials into the CTRL+ALT+DELETE screen, then it show the 'applying personal settings' then 'saving your settings' before taking you back to the CTRL+ALT+DELETE screen. I can successfully log onto the same machine using RDP (not using the console). There is nothing obvious in the event logs and all services are running. Does anyone have any ideas?

2003 Server R2 SP2 AD problems
by Guest Josh - DSTECH- 1 reply

Good morning all, I have been having issues with a 2003 Server R2 with SP2 for about a month now. It is the lone domain controller in a single-server environment with less than 20 user accounts/client PCs. About once a week AD seems to stop responding completely.

If I attempt to open ADUC I get an error of "The server is not operational". dcdiag comes back with the following: Domain Controller Diagnosis Performing initia…

Hi First of all my apologies for cross posting, but this covers many issues that I do not think may be possible to cover in a single post. If I have underestimated the skills in the community, again my apologies. I have a major redesign of our network to undertake - without impinging on the business operation.

Pinging issue on a couple of windows 2003 servers
by Guest Sara L- 0 replies
- 138 views
Here is the scenario: I have three 3Com 4200G series switches. I have 8 servers. All servers are HP Proliant DL380, 360, or 320 servers. All servers are connected to the same 3COM switch. I have 2 APC Smart-UPS 5000 RM XL. These are plugged into the same 3COM switch. I'm having an issue in which some of the servers can ping both of these APC devices, some can only ping 1 of the APC devices, and some cannot ping either of them. All servers can ping each other. I can't figure out why some of the servers can ping the APC devices and some can't. It doesn't make any sense. The 3COM switches are not specifically configured for anything special. All…

cygwin problems on 2003 Enterprise, impersonating fails.
by Guest qa4ever- 0 replies
- 135 views
Hi On Win2003 SP2 Enterprise _only_ we have seen an odd thing happening when logging on using telnet. telnet into machine work but inside telnet prompt "switching to user andy failed" cygwin inetd service, who runs the telnet service, is running as "Local System" account and interact with desktop. Identical to other 2k3 Standard Edition Computers , this works (running cygwin on LocalSystem account and login successfully) . In what respect is Windows Enterprise Edition different than Standard Edition in these service and security areas? (I think basically the cygwin inetd NT service tries to impersonate the other user but fails, but why ? ) We have …

Directory services restore loop?
by Guest Transam388- 0 replies
- 125 views
Have run into one of the LSASS.exe errors and Directory services unable to start issues. Now it says to use the F8 and run Directory services restore / repair but now this has gotten the system into sort of a setup loop. It always wants to go into the Setup / Directory services restore but then has the error about lsass.exe with the 2e1 detail so all it will do is restart. I am offsite but have ILO working so can at least work on the server. Anyone have some ideas on how to get into this thing without just doing a system restore / rebuild? Even safe mode command prompt goes right back into the DSR / setup. It was a primary DC but there is a backup so…

Does the NLB Service 'Know' if Something is Listening?
by Guest Charles Law- 5 replies
- 257 views
When the NLB service forwards to the nodes in an NLB cluster, does it know whether something is listening on a given port? Suppose I have a 2-node NLB cluster. I run the same program on both nodes, listening on the same port. I expect that NLB will share incoming sessions/messages between the nodes, depending on how I have configured it. When a node goes down, NLB should just send messages to the remaining node. But what happens if both nodes are running, and I stop my program running on one of the nodes? Is NLB clever enough to see that there is nothing listening to the port on one of the nodes, and therefore just forward to the other node, or does i…
