Brooktrout Shared Fax
by Guest Brandon Molletti- 0 replies
- 148 views
I purchased a brooktrout 2 port analog board (TR1034+P2-2L-R MSF). It is supposed to be the best. However, I am having trouble sending faxes with v.34 enabled on the board. I get "Fax transmission Error" every time after the first page. With v.34 disabled, the same fax goes through without error. Dialogic (brooktrout support) has sent me a new card, no different. Dialogic claims that this is a software problem with Microsoft. They claim MSF doesnt support v.34. I think they are full of crap. At&t says there is nothing wrong with the phone lines. I can send a fax to the same server with v.34 enabled without error. (This seems to prove dialogic wrong)…

Robocopy and the /Z and /B flag
by Guest rwvoss- 3 replies
- 231 views
I was wondering if anyone could better explain the /Z and /B flags and how they work exactly? I understand that they help robocopy restart where it left off in case of a networking issue, but I guess I'm looking to see if it is causing the issue I am seeing. I am robocopying file shares from one server to another. While doing these copies, I always use the /ZB flag. I have had issues from time to time that require that I get folders copied over before robocopy gets to them. So, I will start a second robocopy that copies the files that the first hasn't got to yet. However, I have seen that once the first robocopy does get there, it copies the files again li…

dcpromo /force problem
by Guest Cindy B- 2 replies
- 195 views
Hi - We had a server that we needed to demote. Due to some replication problems, it would not do the dcpromo --- without adding the force to the end of the command. That seemed to be OK - except it changed it from the domain to a workgroup server. I would like it to be a "member" server within the domain. When trying to re-add it to the Domain, I'm getting errors saying the it already exists... and it does... So I went to the current DC and was going to remove the server name so I could readd it. Now I'm getting a message about removing a DC - which I guess also makes sense, because it doesn't know it was demoted. Here's my question... which is m…

Has anyone successfully installed the Access Based Enumeration tool on a server running Windows Storage Server 2003 R2? I have heard it is compatible but when I try to run the .MSI installer it bombs out saying "You can only install on computers running 32-bit versions of Windows Server 2003 with Service Pack 1."

windows 2008 server
by Guest colleen- 1 reply
- 153 views
I have a windows 2008 server and it intermittently loses connection. I have 2 NIC cards in it. I have disabled one nic card. I have noticed that if I changed netbt to restart on all errors, it seems to help. Most of the time when this happens, the only way to get connectivity back to it is to restart the server. I have had to restart the server during the day and there are at least 25 users attached to it at the time. Any suggestions would be helpful.

DNS
by Guest Michael Yardley- 2 replies
- 178 views
1) Short for Domain Name System (or Service or Server), an Internet service that translates domain names into IP addresses. Because domain names are alphabetic, they're easier to remember. The Internet however, is really based on IP addresses. Every time you use a domain name, therefore, a DNS service must translate the name into the corresponding IP address. For example, the domain name http://www.example.com might translate to 198.105.232.4. The DNS system is, in fact, its own network. If one DNS server doesn't know how to translate a particular domain name, it asks another one, and so on, until the correct IP address is returned. (2) Short for digital nervo…

W2K3 ASR Backup Floppy Disk
by Guest Wake-Up-Jeff- 3 replies
- 194 views
W2K3 ASR backup insists on creating a floppy disk which must be located in the A: drive. How archaic is that? Very few of my servers have floppy disks drives. I gather that this floppy disk stores information on the hard disk partitions. My question is . . . can this data be redirected to another location / disk drive? I haven't found a way to do it.

RAID
by Guest Michael Yardley- 0 replies
- 149 views
râd) Short for Redundant Array of Independent (or Inexpensive) Disks, a category of disk drives that employ two or more drives in combination for fault tolerance and performance. RAID disk drives are used frequently on servers but aren't generally necessary for personal computers. RAID allows you to store the same data redundantly (in multiple paces) in a balanced ay to improve overall performance. There are number of different RAID levels: Level 0 -- Striped Disk Array without Fault Tolerance: Provides data striping (spreading out blocks of each file across multiple disk drives) but no redundancy. This improves performance but does not deliver fault tolerance…

Distributed File System (DFS): DFS allows multiple network shares to be aggregated as a virtual file system. Support for SAN and iSCSI: Computers can connect to a Storage Server over the LAN, and there is no need for a separate fibre channel network. Thus a Storage Area Network can be created over the LAN itself. iSCSI uses the SCSI protocol to transfer data as a block of bytes, rather than as a file. This increases performance of the Storage network in some scenarios, such as using a database server. Virtual Disc Service: It allows NAS devices, RAID devices and SAN shares to be exposed and managed as if they were normal hard drives. JBOD systems: JBOD (Just a b…

DHCP
by Guest Michael Yardley- 0 replies
- 137 views
Short for Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol, a protocol for assigning dynamic IP addresses to devices on a network. With dynamic addressing, a device can have a different IP address every time it connects to the network. In some systems, the device's IP address can even change while it is still connected. DHCP also supports a mix of static and dynamic IP addresses. Dynamic addressing simplifies network administration because the software keeps track of IP addresses rather than requiring an administrator to manage the task. This means that a new computer can be added to a network without the hassle of manually assigning it a unique IP address. Many ISPs use dyn…

Windows Server 2003 (also referred to as Win2K3) is a server operating system produced by Microsoft. Introduced on April 24, 2003 as the successor to Windows 2000 Server, it is considered by Microsoft to be the cornerstone of their Windows Server System line of business server products.

Dynamic DNS, DNS Resource Records & Scavenging
by Guest David- 0 replies

Hello Peeps, We have an issue whereby we want external clients to register there VPN IP addresses in DNS. The VPN connections are handled by a RAS server which gets the IP addresses from DHCP. There are two DHCP Servers; DC01 DHCP,DNS, Domain Controller Server01 DHCP,DNS, Domain Controller Server02 RAS Both the servers are set to update A and PTR records for clients. In DNS however this doesn't seem to be the case. I then added DC01 to the DNSUpdateProxy and when i did this i saw my test laptop register its ip in dns. I then disconnected and reconnected and got a different IP address. the ip address i got then was one which was alre…

Workstation loses default printer
by Guest Edward- 0 replies
- 140 views
Our environment: 200 users, 50 printers (I know that ratio is ridiculous but I am stuck with it) I am using Server 2003 R2's Print Manager and I am pushing printers to users in security groups through the console and pushing the "pushprinterconnections.exe" file as a logon policy in a GPO. All of that works wonderfully. All users are XP Pro with SP2 and are updated weekly through WSUS Problem: Users get a random error when they go to print to their default printer: "Windows cannot print due to a problem with the current printer setup." This will be to a printer that they successfully printed to before. If they click print again they can usually print…
