Ntback slow after SP2 and .Net 3.5 updated
by Guest Mac- 0 replies
- 134 views
About little over a week ago we updated our backup/file server. We use ntback to perform a daily backup of local files and some network files. Before the update to SP2 and .Net 3.5 the backup took about 5-6 hours now they take over 24 hours. I am using the latest driver for my tape drive (4.3.33.0) as per Windows updates and the manufacture Quantum SDLT 320 Tape Drive. I have ran a cleaning tape through it an have tried new tapes too. The backup job consists of 5 SDLT tapes, one for each day from Monday to Friday. Here the job summary: Normal backup. Summary log. Do not verify. Use hardware compression. Do not restrict access to owner or administ…

Upgrading recognition
by Guest CryptiniteDemon- 6 replies
- 283 views
Okay, I have a few questions and hopefully I can explain it clear enough for you guys to follow me. Basically I'm upgrading an NT 4.0 domain to 2003. There's a PDC and a BDC. The original domain name is something like "CW-PS-CTRL" Now, when I upgraded, the systems to 2003 using the install disk, the domain name became "CW-PS-CTRL.CW.com" Basically all the computers hooked up logged into the domain fine after this upgrade. The XP machines even renamed themselves from belonging to CW-PS-CTRL to belonging to CW-PS-CTRL.CW.com NoW what I did after was take the 2003 upgrades, image them and then stored them away on similar hardware for test purposes. …

I have just installed POP3 on a stand alone web server(not a domain controller/no AD). To test it. I made a domain on the pop3 virtual server "testdomain" one mailbox "testuser" the password is "password" and had the system automatically create an associated user.

Everythong else appears to work properly. the mailbox recieves the test e-mail but I cannot retrieve it. I would appreciate any help…

Is there a way to keep remote desktop from moving all of my desktop icons? My laptop with Vista has a much smaller resolution than my desktop PC with Vista. When I access my workstation from home, many of the icons are moved. Is there any thing I can do to save the locations and restore them when I return? Any ideas would be appreciated.

WS2008 Backup Applet
by Guest Jeff Vandervoort- 3 replies
- 210 views
I have a small backup (2 specific folders) that I do with NTBACKUP in WS2003. I understand that NTBACKUP is replaced in WS2008 with a backup applet that is more like Vista's backup applet...with less granular backup selections than NTBACKUP. Anyone know if the new backup applet allows me to select specific folders for backup? -- Jeff Vandervoort JRVsystems http://www.jrvsystems.com

Migrating "up" from XP Pro
by Guest Gary Richtmeyer- 7 replies
- 345 views
I work with a small business that has a PC (Dell Optiplex 320, SATA, no raid) running Win XP Pro which is used to simply hold files that are shared among their 8 users in a simple workgroup. It's a pretty straight-forward file sharing environment; they're even using the simple file sharing technique. However, their business is growing and they will soon have 13 users, which exceeds XP Pro's 10-user limit, so they will need to upgrade to a Windows server environment. (Linux and other non-Windows OSes are not an option.) My challenge is that I'm not very familiar with the Windows Server arena other than casual reading of various announcements and the …

Gosted Drive gets NTOSKRNL.EXE Blue screen on boot
by Guest Jeff Gross- 4 replies
- 215 views
Hi, I have a customer with a DC running windows 2000 advanced server. It's an older Pentium 3 rack mount server. Runs great, but the drives (mirrored) are getting noisy and it seems time to replace the drives. I ghosted the old maxtor 40 gig drive onto a new Seagate barracuda 60 gig drive. It booted beautifully the first time on the new drive, then I saw something about a hardware update or something, and then when I shut down and re-booted, I got the ntoskrnl.exe missing error. I guess it has something to do with the system recognizing the new drive hardware and making a change. So I had to put the old mirror pair back in for now. What the heck is going…

Error "adprep.exe is not a valid win32 application"...
by Guest SammyBar- 1 reply

Hi all, I'm upgrading a Windows Server 2000 DC based network to Windows Server 2003 R2 64 bits. One of the first steps is to prepare the existing Active Directory to contain W2K3 DCs. It is done by adprep /forestprep. I downloaded the ISO images for W2K3 64 bits installation CDs. The first problem is the adprep.exe utility does not is available at \i386 folder of the CD as the documentation says. I found it only at \AMD64 folder. But when running it I get the error "adprep.exe is not a valid win32 application". I suppouse the W2K3 64 bit installation media only comes with the 64 bit version of the adprep utility. It sounds consistent but this utility i…

Fax permissions not allowing users to see what they should?
by Guest Darryl- 3 replies

Hello, I have a Windows 2003 SBS Server, with the Fax Console being used on 10 workstations. Last week, we had an issue in which the Fax system sort-of stopped working (would not automatically answer the fax line). After reinstalling the fax system, everything worked fine. But I have one huge problem. Now, all the non-admins cannot see all items in the inbox/sent items. I have made everyone Fax Operators, and even confirmed the Fax Operators security group has appropriate permissions on the Fax share, but I still cannot seem to get this fixed. If anyone has a suggestion, it would be greatly appreciated. The moment I make an individual Domain…

Sharing and syncing files
by Guest Harry Hornet- 0 replies
- 156 views
All users on our network have their homefolders directed to the 'H' drive on the server. I have two users, one the manager, the other his PA both using Vista. They need to be able to see/update each other's Documents that also need to be available offline and synchronise when back on the network. On the server, all other users have a folder with their username in the Homefolders folder. These two are shown just as Documents. When the manager updates his home folder, his PA does not always see the file on her computer (she has a mapped drive to his home folder with full control). Am I missing something here? If I map a drive to a user's folder, I expec…

Inplace server 2003 upgrade on 2 domain controllers
by Guest Eddie- 0 replies
- 147 views
Hello, I am planning to upgrade 2 DC's running 2000 standard to 2003 standard r2. These servers are the PDC and BDC of the domain and the only servers still running windows 2000 left in the domain. I've been running in mixed mode for a couple of years and have upgraded all other servers except for the 2 DC's. What would be the best approach to upgrade these servers? Also, these servers are running SQL 2000 will this upgrade impact SQL in anyway? Thanks, Eddie

I posted this once before and never got any replies, so I'm trying it again, hoping it was just a slow day back then ;-) Has anyone tried to setup a user profile template? If yes, did the wallpaper that you used when creating the template show up with subsequent profiles that were set to use the profile template? I've tried this twice, and both times it does not. TIA

Change SBS to Windows Server
by Guest BDZ- 4 replies
- 267 views
I purchased a new server with Windows Server 2003 on it. I currently have a server with "Microsoft Windows Server 2003 for Small Business Server" on it. I am trying to determine if it is possible (or even advisable) to change my current one to a plain Server version. We do not use Exchange. We want to start using Terminal Services. I think it may be best to have Terminal Services on the current box rather than the new one. If it possible, can anyone guide me as to how to accomplish it? Thank you for any help/guidance you may provide. BDZ

Hello, I am having trouble with Backup Exec 11 d and I am wondering if the problem is on my domain controllers instead of with Backup Exec. Here's what's happening: The Backup Exec 11d "restore job properties" window is displaying multiple copies of the same SS backup for domain controllers. For example, I made one system state backup of a domain controller at 11:02 on 4/17/08. When I view the "restore job properties" window, I see three copies listed, for the same backup at the same time. If I select any one of them, all three copies become selected. Could the problem be caused by an issue on the domain controllers, rather than a problem with Backup…

by Guest Matt- 5 replies

ok, I have to admit, I'm no expert. But here is what I'm trying to do. I have a 2003 solitary domain. It has a bunch of users. ok, so far so good. Well I now have new XPe machines to add to this domain. the users of the XPe machines are a different class of user than the existing users. I want XPe users to log only into those machines, and the existing Domain Users to not be able to long into the new machines at all. so here is what i thought would work. i created a new OU. Linked a new GPO to it. inside the OU i have the new XPe test units active directory computer and a test user to log into this machine. both the computer and user are me…

Cannot Manage Certificate Services
by Guest jfh777- 0 replies
- 153 views
Hello, I have an online subordinate CA. I requested a certificate from a new Citrix web interface server, and found that my CA is misbehaving. It appears to receive the request and issue a certificate, but it is not really working. On the CA itself, when I launch the management interface, the CA has a yellow warning sign and says " Warning - This CA is currently offline or unavailable". When the CA is double-clicked, this message appears: "Cannot manage certificate services. The network path was not found. 0x80070035 (WIN32: 53)" I read where the file and print sharing option has to be checked in Networking, under the IP settings. That was al…
