Pemission on Files/Folders
by Guest GovAdminGuy- 1 reply
- 183 views
Using a command line tool such as XCACLS.exe, XCACLS.vbs, SetACL or a similar tool, can we change the permissions so one user/group can only list files but not read them (to see how big the files are)...Effectively, list on all folders and contents but no read access...Is that possible perhaps with a combination of allow/revoke?

Access Denied to COM Security using Admin Account
by Guest Asad Malik- 1 reply
- 209 views
Hello, I was hardening the security of my windows server and i read the document about MSDTC that if you don't need it then disable. And this is exactly what I did. I stopped and disabled MSDTC service. And then i removed Anonymous Logon & Everyone permisson (Local Access & Remote Access) under component service for COM security. I restarted the server, logged in as Administrator and got access denied to most of the tasks such as creating users or adding users to group. The worst thing is that i can't even Right-Click on any object to check the properties. I tried to bring back the permission on the COM security but failed as I’m getting access …

Exchange Server C Drive out of SPACE!!

We are currently running Exchange 2003 on a server with mirrored 18GB SCSI hard drives. As you probably guessed, the drives are filling up with the logs as the Database is stored on the D drive. Is there a way to break the mirror on the Boot drive, insert a bigger hard drive and remirror on a bigger drive and not lose any of our data or have to reinstall?? Any help would be greatly appreciated! -- jasongrubbs ------------------------------------------------------------------------ jasongrubbs's Profile: http://forums.techarena.in/member.php?userid=47991 View this thread: http://forums.techarena.in/showthread.php?t=960657 http://forums.techarena.in

by Guest Dave Hickman- 5 replies
- 273 views
I need to upgrade the lone server, running AD, DNS and DHCP, in the domain to a completely new box. I would like to do it a seemlesly as possible and wanted input regarding suggested steps for doing the migration and any pitfalls I should avoid. Is it as simple as installing Server 2003, making the device a member server, synchronizing the AD and DHCP, demoting the old server, promoting the new server and then copying the file structure? Any help will be greatly appreciated. Dave

Any suggestions? thanks

Cannot rdp into Domain controllers
by Guest Mike Bannister- 3 replies
- 215 views
I had a 2003 domain with a 2003 & 2000 domain controller. I ran dcpromo on the 2000 box and demoted it to a member server. I then ran adprep /forestprep on the 2003 domain controller and then I ran dcpromo on a Windows 2003 R2 box and made it a domain controller. I can no longer rdp into either domain controller with domain administrator credentials. I see a security event 534 when I try and I also get this message interactively: "To log on to this remote computer, you must be granted the Allow log on through Terminal Services right. By default, members of the Remote Desktop Users group have this right. If you are not a member of the Remote Desktop…

.MSI
by Guest teddkilroy- 1 reply
- 164 views
I am trying to create (which I have done) a GPO to push .Net 2.0 Framework to 24 computers. I have converted the .exe to .msi with freeware (Advcance Installer 6.2), created the GPO and pused it out. Computers see it, shows window after applying security settings and before you login, but my problem is that .Net 2.0 Framework requires user interaction to finish and runs in to the ULLA acceptance. Therefore it may get pushed but not installed How can this be accpomplished, to automate an installation that requires you to choose options? Thanks to those that respond.

\All Users\application data\microsoft\windows\ntbackup\catalogs51 is the repository of catalogs created by running NTBackup. One of my clients has about 1.5 GB of catalogs in this folder dating from 2006, 2007, and 2008, through today, and all but the last five have no corresponding backup data file (.bkf), because the files have been deleted. Before I go and delete these, is there any reason why I should retain them? Thanks in advance, Jim

Hi there, we are facing the following problem: On our Windows Server 2003 SP2 Standard Edition File server we are forced to reboot due to low Paged Physical Kernel Memory.

This is a Fileserver with approx 2 TB of data containing AutoCAD files and user home directories. All volumes use Volume Shadow Copies for Folders to give our users the Previous Versions possibility. The target for these Shadow Copies is another Volume f…

I really like what Windows Home Server has to offer: *Automated daily backups of multiple computers *Remote access *Streaming music *The way storage can be expanded including redundancy Now I have a Windows Server Enterprise license sitting around doing nothing. So rather then shelling out money for Windows Home Server I am wondering if Windows SErver Enterprise can do all of the above as well. Any input is appreciated. Thanks

Pesky Profile Problem
by Guest Frank- 0 replies
- 126 views
Due to some weird things occuring with a user's account, I decided to delete the profile. Of course, that means deleting it from the profile storage location on the server, deleting the profile on the XP PC in profiles and removing the profile path in the user's account. At this point, no trace of a previous profile should exist. Yet, when the user logs in, desktop icons from the previous profile re-appear and a shortcut (that points to a mapped server drive) still has a .dll error. Repeating this process, I had the user login to a computer never used by him previously. I repeated the deletion steps. He logs in. Same problem. It has to be pulling thi…

I'm running server 2k3 ent x64, 8gig ram. After installing just the OS off the CD, the system is fine. But once I start patching or install the chipset drivers, the system starts bluescreening on an almost clockwork basis. I tried installing hotfix 929161 as it was the only disk.sys related fix I could find. Still no luck. OCA just says driver issue, and doesn't give any specific ideas. Does anyone have any ideas?

Can't format Soft-RAID5 on Windows Server 2003
by Guest Marcel- 7 replies
- 308 views
Hi, I have a noname SIL3114 4-port SATA-Controller on an ASROCK P4V88+ (VIA-chipset with 2-Port onboard sata). With RAID5-BIOS, Windows Server 2003 started formatting my 4-HD-Array but couldn't complete it ("the format did not complete successfully"). The same happens when I use the SATA-Controller with a simple BIOS without onboard-RAID functions. Neither Quick-format nor longformat could complete the format. I also tried different cluster- and volume-size with no success. Any ideas? Should I use another special format utility? Marcel
