Strange w32time problem
by Guest David Orazine- 5 replies

I have a domain, with a PDC emulator, and a BDC. The PDC gets time from an external source, and the BDC gets its time from the PDC. Then BDC is then the server for all of the member servers and clients on the network.

Using group policies to restrict desktop aspects
by Guest CryptiniteDemon- 3 replies
- 217 views
Can anyone give me a step by step guide or link me to some place that will show me how to set up group policies properly? I want to make it to where 20 users have restricted desktop access when they log on. For the purpose of this, let's just say that the recycling bin won't be visible to these users. How would I go about doing this? I've tried a few things and I can't get it to work when I have those users log into the domain. Thanks

problem with Printer Server (Windows 2003 R2)
by Guest Fran Vázquez- 5 replies
- 372 views
Hi, we've just installed a new printer server (Windows 2003 R2 Stdandard English). We installed all the needed drivers, and added all the printers (TCPIP ports). Everything seems OK. Then we've told our users to add the printers by adding 'network printers' in their computers. Everuthing is fine excepting one thing: the user can apparently change the 'printer setttings', but when he clicks OK on his changed printer settings and print, we see that they are not saved. In fact if we just save the printer settings and re-openn it, we see that they are the same, the default ones. This shouldnt be the behaviour of this print server, users should be able…

Poor Performance Sharing iSCSI Attached Drive
by Guest SteveR- 0 replies
- 125 views
I have an Equallogic iSCSI SAN attached to a HP DL360 G5 Server via MS iSCSI initiator 2.06 and a Foundry FLS624 switch dedicated to the iSCSI traffic. When I copy data to/from the iSCSI attached SAN to the local C:\ drive on the server it performs very well. When I share the iSCSI attached SAN then do the same read/write test from a XP workstation on a GB network, I get great performance when writing to the share however when reading from the server is really slow. Looking at the network performance under task manager, I see 54% when writing and only 20% when reading. Test Server = HP DL360 G5 Test workstation is a Dell Precision 390 attached …

Which services support recovery actions in Windows Server 2003? The list of services that support recovery actions will vary depending on the domain membership of a server. I cannot find this information anywhere, nor can I figure an easy way to export to a file the services console with its services and properties. Thanks.

Home folders map to root of share
by Guest Michael- 2 replies
- 212 views
Don't know if I am in the correct newsgroup. This has just started happening and seems to be spreading: All users map their home folder U:\ to \\server\share\%username%. This has always been the case and there has never been a problem. I set this up in the user attributes, not in GPO. Now many users' U:\ is mapped to \\server\share\, but it is intermittent. Usually a reboot will correct it, but until rebooted, havoc prevailes. If a user has their U:\ drive made available offline, when they logon, it then tries to sync the entire share with all kinds of security violations. If I catch it happening, I will go into regedit and note that HKU\Volatile…

Error moving file or folder - File locked
by Guest GMR- 4 replies
- 356 views
Now a days we are facing some strange issue in our file servers. Users are not able to rename/move/delete the excel files (first time they can do this, but once the file saved and closed they can't do it again). They are getting the error saying 'It is being used by another person or program' though it is not using by anyuser/program. If we reboot the server the issue will be resolved, but again the problem persists with some other files/shares. This is not with the particular user or share. OS in these servers is Windows 2003 Standard edition with SP2. We have upgraded to SP2 in one server and still the problem exists. Antivirus is upto date.

OEM to Volume License issue
by Guest Jeff- 0 replies

I have a copy of Windows 2003 OEM on a Dell server. I need to move it to another server without rebuilding. I understand the licensing issue with this, however I have a copy ofvolume license that I just purchased. The problem is when I image the server it wants me to reactivate the license, it fails when I do. How do I change the license type of the OEM to make it VL? I have heard the idea of "upgrading" but I think I am going to have an issue because my media is older than what is on the server. I am almost certain it is going to come back with a complaint on that. Any help is appreiciated. PS I ant all to understand, I am legal, I purchase the VL…

hi all hopefully my question is a simple one - can SQL Server 2005 and ISA coexist on the same windows server 2003 instalation ? In other words i would like to use ISA for its firewall to give security to my SQL database and at the same time run the proxy as well. The machine is a dual core p4 at 3.4 ghz with 2 gig ram and the database is very small (only 30 entries per day) the users on the proxy is also very small - maybe 50 maximum thanks in advance for any advice -- Paul - South Africa

Trouble logging on after upgrade
by Guest CryptiniteDemon- 2 replies
- 233 views
I'm upgrading from NT to 2003. Everything is smooth except for one thing. Computers that recognized the old domain can't find the new one when I try to log on. However, if I set up a new computer to be part of mydomain.mycorp.com they log on just fine. The NT domain controller was originally just mydomain. And we had XP machines set up to log into mydomain.mycorp.com. When I upgraded, it asked me to put the full name of the domain, so I typed in mydomain.mycorp.com. Now shouldn't these XP machines be able to log onto it instantly without me having to re-find the domain under the properties menu in my computer? Or am I doing something wrong?

ASR functionality

Hi, I have a Windows 2003 SBS server that has run out of space on all its drives and need to either change the drives or supply them with a new server. My first thought is the new server and start again from scratch but before I go down that line is it possible to change the drives on the existing server and set it up with bigger partitions and then do an ASR recovery into the new partition? If so do I need to use an hardware partition for example using an IBM serveraid card or can I use a Windows Partition, would the Windows partition be overwritten? Thanks for your help. anthony

I just tried this for the first time and got mixed results. Not all settings showed up when I tried the new profile. This is on Server 2003 with the workstation being XP. This is what I did: - created an account called profile - logged in as profile and set the Desktop, etc the way I wanted it. One of the things I set was the wallpaper. I created a BMP file and saved it to My Pictures, and then chose that with Display Properties. - I then logged in with an admin account and, from System Properties>Advanced>User Profiles, I copied the profile for user "profile" to \\Server\profiles\AnotherUser - Set the Profile Path for AnotherUser to \\Server\…
