Upgrading Windows CA Authority
by Guest PMC1- 0 replies
- 188 views
Hi, I have a windows 2000 CA that I want to remove from the network. I want to replace this with a 2003 CA but the standard process poses some problems The MS suggested Upgrade/Migration process states 1. Upgrade the 2000 CA to 2003 before migration - the problem here for me is the 2000 DC is very old and I'm fairly confident it wouldn't be sufficient for W2003 2. The new CA should have the same name as the old CA - I already have all the required servers setup and running. Further I would prefer not to have a server named the same as the old one. My question is - considering my preferred network setup requires that I move to a new server with a differ…

Audio driver: which PCI sound cards are natively supported?
by Guest Andrea.Treggia- 2 replies
- 272 views
I have a customer with a Windows Server 2003 SBS Standard with Windows Audio service activated. I *must* install a PCI audio card on this server. I have read that some Creative Sound Blaster is not supported but that someone has installed the Windows XP drivers. I don't like very much this strategy and I prefere the use of the native drivers. I can't found on the HCL a PCI audio card that I can buy in Italy. I have tryed a Creative CT4790 that work fine, but the customer's server do not support PCI card at 5V, only 3.3V. Now the question: Which sound cards are supported from the native audio drivers of Windows 2003 server SBS? Very much thanks for…

In "User Accounts" on Windows XP, I currently have a user named John who is a "Computer Administrator". I'd like to change this account to "Limited", but it's greyed out, so I can't even select "Limited" as an option. Also, I don't even see a user that is named "Administrator". How do change user "John" from "Computer Administrator" to "Limited" ?

Hi All, Please could someone help else .... I have a desperate problem with my machine at work when i try to syncronize with folders and files over the network. It can Literally take all night and even a few hours during the day to actually syncronize my PC to the Server connected at a different site.

I have a windows XP machine which connects to a Cisco 2950 switch which then connects to a Cisco 800 router - it passes a firewall into the cloud back through the firewall into a F&P server in a different town. I am unsure as to how many hops it passe…

2008 Backup - Device Error?
by Guest Steve Copley- 0 replies

Hello Technet, When running Windows Server Backup from the Server Manager (2008) - selecting VSS full or copy backup, it reaches around 3.8gb on C: then fails with an "I/O device error". We've tried saving to alternate disks and network locations, as well as running wbadmin, same error message. It appears to be failing during the System State backup. Server has been restarted, and checked for any more recent updates, but there is no change. I've found reference to this particular error in Vista where the solution was to go to System Protection and disable Shadow Copy on the drives, then re-enable - though I cannot see the System Protection area in 20…

Win2k3 Standard File Server - Missing Data
by Guest Fred Orcutt- 3 replies
- 258 views
Hello all, I've got a Win2k3 Std SP2 file/member server in an SBS2k3 domain. This file server developed an issue where it would not connect itself to the domain. This was fixed easily with a repair reinstall, but an important issue remains: The file server uses 2 HDD which are mirrored. The HDD is partitioned into the normal system/boot partition, with a logical D drive where user data are staged. Following the OS repair/reinstall, data files for about a 6-month chunk of time simply no longer appeared on the data partition. Also lost was any kind of data file on the boot partition, such as app license files, for example. Nothing was done to att…

by Guest naza- 3 replies

Hi, I have got a machine with no keyboard mouse and screen, so I have to control it with remote desktop. I have set it to auto-logon and creates as session automatically, which list's the sound card and uses it. When I connect via remote desktop it creates a new session which I do not want, I want to continue with the one that was create by auto- logon. I can change via task manager but I want it to join that specific one, is there a way to do this? I have tried /console and it does not work and I have restricted the user to one sessions but that does not work either
