Win 2003 server switching internet
by Guest Dave Porter- 1 reply

Hi Everyone, One of the sites I look after is running Win2003 server with a 512K ADSL1 connection that is going! ( Don't ask it just is :) ! ) It is being replaced with a 3G Mobile USB Wireless Internet Key Modem. Yesterday I tried to install it on the server ( it is a Huawei model that self installs it's software ), but it just didn't seem to 'see' it when plugged into USB on the server. So I installed it on on of the workstations for the time being ( ADSL is still active until the end of November ) My questions: 1) If I can't install it on the server, can I tell the rest of the network that the internet source is via this USB modem on the works…

Speeding up NTFS access by enabling Content Indexing service?
by Guest MCT Since 1999- 0 replies
- 301 views
If i enable the Indexing service and create a Catalog called "system" and configure for indexing my Win2K3_STD-64 File Server (300.000 files), this will improve performance on regular operations? ("regular operations" is the day-to-day tasks for end users, open folders, subfolders and files). It will be better only in "searches" for files?

My reading tells me that the reason its doing this is becasue it …

Troubleshooting 2008 server hangs
by Guest Chris Cronin- 0 replies
- 309 views
Hi, We have 5 Fujitsu-Siemens rx300S4 servers which I have installed 2008 std 32 bit and 64 bit onto (3 TS, 1 Exchange 2007 and 1 Apps). All are randomly hanging with no BSOD and no response from the console or remotely. Fujitsu have had one of the servers in their workshop for two weeks and run numerous tests with no indication as to the fault, the server has not hung once! I've used the online conciege earlier which pointed me to adplus.vbs and the debugger tools, looking at them though I'm not sure if they will help as they seem to be linked to complete crashes or single/muliple process locks rather than complete hangs! I'm open to any ideas, as I'…

I imaged a server using Acronis True Image software and then restored it to a different server. Everything worked fine, but I noticed that I can't see any of my local user accounts. I can see the group accounts and memberships. When I attempt to create an account that was a local user, it says that it already exists. Can someone tell me how to fix this? thanks -- dee

CD Writing Wizard breaks after applying security policy
by Guest awrightus@gmail.com- 1 reply
- 345 views
Using Windows 2003 Standard. Prior to implementing a custom local security policy, the CD Writing Wizard (native Win2K CD burning) works fine. IMAPI service starts, no problems. After applying my custom template, the CD Writing Wizard gets to the point where you select "Write these files to CD", assign label, and then it says there's no disc in the drive. My security template is definitely breaking this. "Recording" tab on device still has CD recording "enabled". Not using "Restrict CD-ROM access to locally logged-on user only" in my policy. Here's the kicker. I have determined that if I grant the "Lock pages in memory" right in my local security policy (to…

I've come across an odd issue when trying to publish IAS in AD. I've tried three methods of doing it. 1) Via IAS MMC Snap-In. I receive the error: IAS Error: The task was not completed.

DCOM event id 10009.

Hi! From time to time I see the following error in my System event log: DCOM was unable to communicate with the computer SERVERNAME using any of the configured protocols. What scares me is that SERVERNAME is an old Exchange 2003 server we uninstalled a long time ago (we are now running Exchange 2007). How can I see where DCOM gets SERVERNAME from? Why does it try to connect to a server uninstalled over six months ago? Regards Erik

logon.cmd and persistent:yes problem
by Guest Rimfire- 1 reply
- 302 views
Hi A 2003 server std. R2 AD and domain laptops login.cmd problem. In this envinroment they have a login script where server shares are mapped and the persistent seem to be setup to be yes. Actually at the logon.cmd there is nothing related for persistant but since the shares are listed also offline I believe that in that system the default behaviour is that persistent is yes. Now when those laptops are at home and connected to Internet (usually using 3G connection) the user can of couse see the list of server's shares. But if he/she cliks any shares the My Computer will freeze over a minute. The laptop is obviously seeking for those shares. We need tho…

Win2003 server script error: mapping network drives
by Guest samhale- 0 replies
- 321 views
I'm the Tech Director at a school and we use Windows 2003 Server to pass scripts to clients on login depending on user and location. Everything worked well for a year with clients but this year our 4th grade class has been having sporadic problems. The general 'share' folder that all users have always works for these users, but around 20% of the time their individual user mapped-drive does not show up. It is not dependent on machine or user but seems random. Most times the user can logout and log back in and it maps their network drive properly. I'm no script expert (the one we use was created by a consultant) but I would appreciate any help or suggestions that a…

Network Connections

I just noticed this.... in Network Connections, if you change the view to Details, there's a column titled "Phone # or Host Address". There isn't an IP address shown in that column for the installed NIC. Where would one edit that information, to put the IP address in there? I've looked everywhere and didn't it. And Google came up empty. TIA

Windows 2003 R2 Installation
by Guest Jesus- 2 replies

Hi all, I have a question to ask of you experts. I have Windows 2003 R2 CDs. Once you install Windows from scratch and you log into the machine for the first time the system will ask you to insert the 2nd CD from this install. If I disregard this message and continue on my marry way will there be issues with my install later due to the fact that this second CD was not inserted? Not related to R2 components. I'm wondering if there are essential files that are in CD2 that are necessary for Windows to operate properly. I know the 2nd CD from what many people have been saying is not needed and if you install Windows without it is like installing the old ve…

Windows 2003 crashing when enabling /3GB
by Guest Massimo- 7 replies
- 620 views
I've been working a cluster of two Windows 2003 Enterprise SP2 systems, which run SQL Server and are also domain controllers for a local domain (it's an hosted environment, so only two servers could be fitted there). The two servers have each 18 GB of memory, but run the x86 Windows version. The /PAE switch is enabled on those systems, in order to take advantage of all that memory; today, we tried enabling the /3GB switch too, to give SQL Server some extra memory... but then the systems started behaving erratically, taking hours (literally!) to start up, even more time to log on, showing plenty of errors in the event log about almost everything crashing…
