DEP error for IIS Worker Process
by Guest aja44- 10 replies
- 651 views
I rebooted my server running 2003 and Exchange 2003 and began receiving a DEP pop error for the IIS Worker Process. No matter how many times I cancelled it, the pop would return as soon as I clicked on "do not send" to Microsoft. I finally had to go into System Properties > Advanced > DEP tab and choose to exclude the IIS Worker Process. Can someone tell me what this error is about? Thanks

by Guest Scott S- 10 replies
- 643 views
I am working on a Dell Poweredge 2900 with an integrated RAID controller. The server consists of 2 RAID 1 160GB hard drives. I have a few 80GB hard drives and would like to ghost the OS Image from the 160 GB Drive to the RAID 0 80GB hard drive. The trouble I am having is that after the ghost is complete the server will not boot from the 80GB drive. Is there a way to break the 160gb Mirror or convert to RAID 0, before GHOSTING

Windows 2003 Server RC2 SP2 3COM 3C940 GB Onboard NIC I recently installed 2003 server. Got the latest updates. I then set up this machine as a domain controller on a new forest and followed the the instructions to set up the DNS. Now if I try to do anything over the interent, I am lucky to get a full page to load. There seems to be all kinds of communications problems. If I stop the DNS and point everything over to my old server which I want to decomission when this one is up and running, all network performance is perfectly fine. Any thoughts?

Improve speed print server
by Guest Smiley- 10 replies
- 612 views
On our 100mb network I have a W2003 Server with a Firewire Printer shared directly. I can copy files to the printserver at 8-9 m/sec but all print spooling happens at 3m/s maximum. If I print to the Imageserver over Gigabit, then the speed goes up to about 8-9m/s but It's still nothing in comparison to the file copy speed of 30-60m/s. Have tried different servers eg: shared on XP etc and different shared printers. 2 Questions. 1 Why? 2 Can we speed this up?

Hi to MCP and the Experience Pros out there, my company have just purchase a HP Proliant ML350 Server G4p - quad 3.2Ghz Xeon, 4GB Ram, 2x725Watts power supply, 5X72GB HDD with RAID hardware. I have to install either Windows Server 2003 with 32 bits or 64 bits, i did some research for 32 and 64 bits, i found out that 64bits can fully utilize the physical memory and so on, but overall, i am still blur about it. 1. can any Pros out there give me some advantage and disadvantage of 32bits and 64bits? 2. this Proliant Server have RAID hardware, from what i heard, it says that RAID 5 can auto backup and recreate data files if one of the harddisk break down, can …

Drive Mapping Problem w/ Users Home Folders...
by Guest Jason Lehman WC- 9 replies
- 368 views
In AD I have... Home Folder, connect to... U: to \\servername\Users$\username Note the $ after Users to indicate the share is hidden. Some random users get a U:\Users$ Instead of getting U:\Users$\UserName No idea why this is going on. What I inherrited here was the Sys Admin w/ sharing every single users home folder, creating too many shares. So the Home Folder used to read... Home Folder, connect to... U: to \\servername\username$ So I decided to share the Users dir, instead of every single users home folder. Anyone have some suggestions/experience for my problem? Your help is much appreciated. Thanks. Jason.

Problem with Hyper-V, NCQ SATA drives; Event ID 129 from nvstor64 saying "Reset to device, \Device\RaidPort0, was issued".

Problem with Hyper-V, NCQ SATA drives; Event ID 129 from nvstor64 saying "Reset to device, \Device\RaidPort0, was issued". This post is related to the one on 5 Jun 2008, but I think I asked the wrong question in that one! The operating system is Windows Server 2008 RTM with the RTM version of the Hyper-V role installed (Windows6.0-KB950050-x64.msu). The computer is a custom built with an ASUS P5N-D motherboard, which has the NVIDIA nForce 750i SLI chipset. This computer has three SATA drives - two ST3320620AS and one ST3500320AS. The ST3500320AS has two partitions, one of which is the Windows "System" and "Boot" partition (hosts the operating system)…

Cannot ping client, even on LAN
by Guest dan- 9 replies
- 635 views
I'm going to repost this issue since the my information in the other post was getting confusing. I have one client on a small LAN that I cannot use Remote Desktop Connection to access, even fromt the LAN, although I can access all other clients with no problem. Upon investigation I find I cannot ping the client from my server (Windows Server 2000) with either IP address or computer name. If I run pathping, I see the computer name is resolved to the IP address so DNS is working. Pathping reports 100% loss of packets on the first hop- failure. I can ping the other way, from client to server, just fine. I've checked the firewall setting and it appears to unbl…

by Guest hslbz@hotmail.com- 9 replies

Hi all, We are thinking about archiving old files from our fileserves to cheaper storage. To check whether this is usefull I would like to see how many files (for instance older then 1 year) we have on our fileserver. So I just need a very simple tool (or something) which scans a partition I choose with the settings I set and then tells me how much GB is not modified in (for instance) 1 year. does anybody know such a tool? (extensive search didn't give me a result:( Regards, Mike van Gestel

Hello - I have a citrix server (PS 4.0 enterprise) running windows 2003 SP1. This system has all of a sudden started rebooting on it's own... Originally, the reboot was blaming UPHClean, so i uninstalled it and it still is rebooting randomly... I cannot pinpoint the reboot - it seems to happen when someone either logs off a session in citrix, or opens a session... I cannot pinpoint exactly what's going on to make the reboot occur... this is the most recent bug check (any help would be GREATLY appreciated - let me know if you need more info too): Microsoft ® Windows Debugger Version 6.6.0007.5 Copyright © Microsoft Corporation.

Hi I have installed WDS in our Windows 2003 server (SP2) and this server is a member of our exiting Domain. WDS is installed on a Native mode. We configured the server and things are quite fine, how ever I'm facing the problem in the following situation. 1. I ran sysprep in the Win XP box 2. On restarting the PC, I pressed F12 and pointed the PC to WDS server 3. I selected the option Capture, to capture the image from the PC to WDS server 4. In the option, I selected "upload the image to WDS Server" 5. Now the capture process is successfully completed in the local PC, now as a next step this WIM image must be uploaded to WDS server. 6.

reboot
by Guest Kevin- 9 replies
- 618 views
I am running Windows 2003 server. I reboots for no reason a couple times a day. All I notice in the event logs is a bunch of warnings about printers being deleted (it's a Citrix server) but those are common. Then messages about booting up and services starting. In order for the server to reboot from a script created by a virus, wouldn't it have to be located somewhere specific for Windows to apply it? -- Thanks for your help. Kevin

big trouble with Server - as KB933994
by Guest Trapulo- 9 replies
- 537 views
Hello, I added a Windows 2003 Server to an existing 2000 domain, and made it an additional domain controller. All ok, I restarted, I made GC, all worked fine. Then I restarted an other time... boom. Every crytical windows services don't start more. Only RPC works: others (COM+, network connections, shell hardware detection, etc) don't start. It seems as KB933994 describes: the old group policy didn't assign "impersonate a client after authentication" to Service and Network accounts, so I think that the replicated policy has blocked the 2003 system. Now? I've tried to update policy on the W2003 server, but it doesn't apply it. When I run a gpupdate, i…

Windows scheduler: Running a batch file as another user?
by Guest Andrew Hodgson- 9 replies
- 554 views
Hi, I have an account which is in the users and IIS_WPG group. I would like this account to run a batch file every hour, however, when I schedule the script to run when I am logged in as an account with administrator privileges to run under that user, and when I start the job, it fails. I can see from the audit log that the user is being logged in and out, but it doesn't start. I attempted to run the scheduler logged in as the account I wanted the script to run under, however, it does not give me access. So my question is: What are the minimum permissions I need to grant in order to let this script run as a scheduled job under the limited account? Tha…

Change Remote Desktop Port
by Guest DiFFeReNT- 9 replies
- 616 views
I've followed the instructions found all over the internet on how to change my remote desktop port via the registry, and it works great, over the network. All I have to do is ipaddress:3390. Unfortunately, this will not work over the internet. I have setup port forwarding for TCP (and UDP) port 3390 to forward to my computer, which has a static IP address, the same way that I have port 3389 successfully forwarded to another computer. I also manually opened the port 3390 on the Windows firewall. Remote desktop won't connect using the port 3390. When I run the port test at http://canyouseeme.org/, it says Error and Request Timed Out. Since my port forw…

Restore problem

- 617 views
I have put up a new file server to replace the old one. After backing up the shares off the old one, when I go to do a restore, it runs for a few minutes, then stops and tells me it is out of disk space. There is over 300GB of free space on the drive. I have tried just backing up and restoring one share at a time, but the same thing happens. Most recent attempt: Backed up Operations share from old server to a file on new server. ~2.6GB Run restore to a folder on new server. Restore stops at 560MB and reports it is out of disk space. Disk has 337GB free. Any help is appreciated.

We have a 2003 Server that is being used as a file and print server. It is also running our Panda antivirus, WSUS, and BackupExec. The machine is running out of memory on a weekly basis and requires a reboot after it freezes. When I rebooted it on Wednesday it said it was only using about 750 MB of RAM, according to Task Manager. Right now (5 days later) it is over 2,150 MB. The machine has 2 GB installed. Can somebody tell me where to begin? Thanks, Ron

Override Default Domain Policy - how??
by Guest Okramo- 9 replies
- 614 views
Hi, I've created OU "Testers". Opened "Testers" properties and at Group Policy menu created Group Policy Object linked to OU "Testers". There at GP Object I've changed setting required password complexity and disabled it. Also I've blocked Policy Inheritance to disable applying Default Domain Policy to my OU "Testers", cause there in Default Domain Policy I have password complexity configured which I don't want to assign to OU "Testers". My problem is that when I want to create user in OU "Testers" it always warns me to use complex password, which is configured at default domain policy. I can't create user with simple password what I was planning to ac…

I have a small network, an SBS server running AD, and a file server running Windows 2003 server. Everything has been fine. I know have several users running Vista, and Vista Ultimate. Those now running Vista cannot access excel sheets located on the file server. The permissions are set as they were with XP. Some of the users even created the excel sheets and have full rights to the file and folder. They can open other various files, autocad, pdf's but not the excel files. Their office programs have been registered with MS. They are using Office 2007. -- Dave

Everything is in italics. How do I get all fonts back to normal ??
by Guest Synapse Syndrome- 9 replies
- 361 views
This is actually a problem I am having with Windows Server 2003, but I am sure that the solution is the same as XP. When I applied SP2 for Windows Server 2003, around this time last year, every font turned to italics - the Start Menu, context menus, all text in applications, Event Viewer, Device Manager, IIS Manager, all wizards and dialogue boxes, title bars, icons text, etc. Even the nearly all the text in websites when using IE7 or Firefox is in italics (it does not appear in italics in the rare cases where the CSS calls for 'normal'). The only thing that is not in italics is the Command Prompt. I have been using it for a year thinking that this w…
