Domain setup
by Guest susan_brady@comporium.net- 1 reply
- 169 views
Hi All - more questions about Domains vs. Workgroups My husband plans to purchase a server-based database application for his business. He currently has 6 users, each with XP Pro. They are set up as a "Workgroup" and aren't sharing any resources except printers. His router handles DNS & DHCP. In addition to sharing the database application on-site, he also wants his users to be able to acess this database application remotely, which means, I presume, some kind of VPN solution and maybe Terminal Services. He has already purchased a server with Windows 2003 Server Standard - being shipped as I write. It has 4GB of RAM and a RAID5 disk array. I app…

Does DFS break when I move a server?
by Guest Ray- 0 replies
- 136 views
Morning All, I currently have two domains OLD and NEW and I’m in the process of migrating servers to NEW. I have a DFS structure setup in the NEW domain and the shares are pointing to a system in the OLD domain. My question is: If I move the file server in the OLD domain into the NEW domain (simply changing the domain association using the computer name tab) will the DFS pointers break? (DFS is currently using the UNC of the file server). Thanks in advance.

Windows 2003 Net Time
by Guest vmtraver- 0 replies

I recently upgraded from a windows 2000 to a 2003 one forest one domain, domain and have 8 sites. Four US sites and four overseas sites. I found out by accident that if I do a net time command from a client at any site it returns the time from our Bangkok (non PDC emulator) domain controller. If the Bangkok domain controller is unavailable it hits the next domain controller in alphabetical order. I have the PDC emulator pointed to two internal time sync appliances on our network by ip address separated by a space. After replacing a leased domain controller, I noticed the default installation of a domain controller creates a registry setting for the ntpserver unde…

Mapping printers to particular machines
by Guest Laphan- 2 replies

Hi All Hope you can help. Basically I need to map a printer to certain PCs so that all the PCs on the first floor have the ability to print to one printer and all the PCs on ground level can print to another. To do this, I tried the following: a) Created a new OU in AD called 'Upstairs PCs'. b) Drag and dropped one particular PC from the default Computers folder to my new OU. c) Went into GPO editor and created a new GPO for this OU called 'Upstairs PCs'. d) Went to User Config > Windows Comp > Logon and dropped in a script file that uses the usual printdll command line to map the upstairs printer. However when I log onto the relevant…

Hello, In the Application Event Log, I have daily Certificate Enrollment Failures appearing on 5 of our Domain Controllers.

Remove Windows 2008 member server from domain
by Guest Lars Zeb- 1 reply
- 187 views
I am switching 6 computers in an AD domain to a workgroup. I made a big mistake and knocked down the DC before removing a Windows 2008 member server which is used to run SQL Server 2005. When I attempt to change the Windows 2008 server from the domain to a workgroup, it launches a model window titled Windows Security. This window is asking for a username and password belonging to the domain for permission to remove this Windows 2008 server from the domain. Well, the domain no longer exists. Is there another way to remove the server from the domain? TIA

file security slow
by Guest John- 3 replies
- 214 views
I have a folder on the 2003R2 file server that when I change folder security settings takes a very long time. It seems much longer than other large folders. Is there a tool that I should use in this type of situation that can check for corruption...? Many files and folders in this folder have very long names and possibly characters that should not be used.... Is there a document that would give me ammunition to tell them to stop using certain characters or exceeding some length?

Event ID 1053
by Guest Tony- 6 replies
- 336 views
I have a new server (actually two identical servers) that are receiving an Event ID 1053 error message on boot. The error says: Windows cannot determine the user or computer name. (The specified domain either does not exist or could not be contacted. ). Group Policy processing aborted. I can successfully run gpupdate /force from a command line. I also see in the log that policies are being successfully applied later. This seems to be only during boot. I've tried several things thinking that it might be trying to establish communication before the NIC team is ready. I have disabled another NIC on a different network (this machine is intended to…

Hi All, Just wondering if anyone has any ideas how to do this please? We are trying to get access to WMI information on a Windows Server 2003 and Windows Server 2003 SP1 box. I have setup a domain user account and added this account to the security permissions for WMI. I have also added this account to the DCOM Security Settings for "Launch and Activation permissions" with full remote control on both. I am still receiving a error when I'm running a script to poll data. "80041003 - Access Denied" There is no problem with the script as I have successfully tested when the domain user is added to the local administrator group. Any help would be g…

shadow copy - only 1 copy appearing
by Guest Sleb- 2 replies
- 283 views
Hi, I have seen this problem a couple of times on windows 2003 servers even though this is not a common issue (different clients). When I look at shadow copies of a drive, I see only 1 copy. It looks like everytime it does a copy, it deletes the old ones. I've checked the schedule, the quota, deactivate/reactivate with default options, all the options, everything is fine and even redoing the shadow copy configuration did nothing. If I do a shadow copy manually, I now see 2 shadow copies. The one made by the schedule and mine (I've done a couple manually and can see all of them). But at the next schedule, I will see only 1 copy which is the last one made…

SCSI vs SATA for Virtual Machine SAN box

We're getting a SAN to use with our VMs. We understand that SCSI drives are much better for SAN used for VMs. Our price target requires SATA, however. Has anyone seen a study of the performance drawbacks and sacrifices that are inherit with using SATA rather than SCSI drives for VM applications? - Dan

Terminal Server 2008 woes. Unable to print to network share
by Guest YADER.CELL@gmail.com- 0 replies
- 218 views
Hi there, I am testing terminal server 2008 and remote app. However, I ran into an issue with clients being unable to print from a published remoteapp session. If I log into the server with the admin account, I am able to print via the remote session. If I log into the remoteapp via a power user account, I simply cannot print. It will refuse to carry over my local printers to the terminal server. I also understand that the new TS supports a new printing mechanism called easy print. Well, I guess its not too easy at all lol. I temporarily assigned the power user as a temp local admin to see if its a permission issue. same problem persists, It wont …

Longshot
by Guest Glen- 1 reply
- 225 views
I know this is a long shot but... Is there a way to start an application in the same state it exists when you disconnect a remote session on Server 2003? This is what I want to accomplish: I have some critical software of a questionable quality. I have written a Ruby service that will start the app at boot and check periodically to make sure it's still running. I would like to be able to launch this program in such a way that when the account it runs as logs in they can interact with the GUI. Basically I want the same behavior you get when you log-in remotely, start it up, disconnect, then log in again and it's still there and ready to go. If someone…

I haven't used this in a while and can't figure out what I am doing wrong. I am trying to execute a vbs script that will copy files to another pc. The script works fine run by itself, but psexec is giving me an error of "system cannot find the file specified". I'm sure it's a real basic thing, can someone tell me what is wrong?? psexec \\mw_pc20 -u DOMAIN\administrator -p password \\mw_pc21\sharedfolder\file.vbs The pc20 is the target pc and the pc21 is mine in this example. I took notes before but apparently I'm missing something.

I have a box that is consuming roughly 50G of memory. It has 64G physical, 32G virtual. I want to determine what is using the memory. Just looking at the "Mem Usage" column in task manager doesn't add up. Where else can I look to get a better break down of memory consumption?
