How can I restore from a secured backup?
by Guest BackupDaemon- 2 replies
- 287 views
Is there a good method or piece of software that will allow me to restore secured backups (ntbackup.exe ... /r:yes) in a disaster situation (total loss of domain server and domain-joined computers)? The obvious fix would be to make unsecured backups. However, we would like our offsite backups to be at least somewhat protected. Maybe there is a better way to make these backups secure? I'm hesitant to use encryption, my worry is that if part of the encrypted backup is damaged, I lose all the data. Using encryption also increases the duration of the backup job (which is an important factor when contending with >100 GB of data). We're running Server…

Hello, I am having a strange issue with a particular remote user. When he does an offline synch instead of synchronizing his User folder from the server it is synching the Domain Admins user folder instead. Ive checked the server side and dont see any references to the admin acct on his profile, and have also deleted the local profile of the domain admin on his laptop. Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks

Help needed with Script
by Guest Count Blackula- 4 replies
- 390 views
Hi everybody. Does anybody know a good webpage or book explaining how to write scripts? I need a script which will compare %clientname% and %username% with a ini file, to decide if the user is allowed to logon to a terminalserver. I want to achieve that specific users can logon only from specific clients to the terminalserver. The specification would be in the ini which will be edited by the customer himself. Thnx in advance, Milenko

hello, I'm about to roll out a couple of windows 2003 sql server 2005 for a financial platform (banking industry). the servers use local hard disks to boot (drive c) but are attached to a san for holding data (drive d). now I noticed that the local sas disks are 15k rpm fast, while the disk hosted on the san only is 5k fast. I don't have that much know how with san solutions, but is it normal that san disks are so slow (our san is from hitachi) ? would it be better to use local disks for our sql server (the databases are used very heavily) ? does rpm makes a big difference in terms of sql server operations ? thanks in advance for any help. regards, z…

NTFS Permissions - effective
by Guest JohnB- 8 replies
- 584 views
Isn't the "effective" permissions the most restrictive combination, calculated from group or individual permissions that apply? I just checked the effective permissions (setup by someone else) of a folder that contains confidential information, and everything is checked off except Change, Full Control and Take Ownership. I did this with random users that should only have Read permissions. There are 2 groups assigned permissions on this folder; one group - Users - is granted everything but Full Control, the other is group - Authenticated Users - is granted Read & Execute, List and Read. And I would have thought those combined permissions would have…

Retire or Upgrade and Retire?
by Guest RandyH- 5 replies
- 430 views
I have what I believe to be the original DC for our company's domain. I would think this server was a BDC promoted to PDC and then upgraded to Windows 2000. Our domain level is Mixed Mode 2003 and I need to decommission this ol windows 2000 DC. He doesn't hold any FSMO roles as they've been transferred across two new 2003 DC's and is not a GC. I was thinking of: running DC promo and de/un promote that server as a DC and then raise our domain level to Native Mode 03. But, my junior admin had an idea to upgrade the 2000 DC to 2003, then set the domain to native mode, then run dcpromo and promote that old server out. Any ideas or suggestions to …

Volume Shadow VSS, control data in days
by Guest Girish J Bhatia- 1 reply
- 239 views
I know that in VSS I can specifically control how much size of previous data want to keep but I need to control it through numbers Which means I want to keep only 5 days backups and then flush it. If this can be done using a Scheduler to flush it in 5 days, I would like to know the commands on how to Flush the VSS. Incase I would like to move the VSS data to a remote location or Archive it, any solutions? Any info would be great! -- Girish J Bhatia MOSS Certified, SharePoint Certified, MCSE2003, MCDBA, CCNA, CCNP, CCSA
