Problem with VPN setup
by Guest Yig- 9 replies
- 619 views
Hi, I have used Routing and Remote Access on my Windows 2003 SP2 server to create a VPN server. It is working, but not like I was expecting. I granted permissions to a few users but when they connect, they can only access the server with the VPN, not the rest of the network. I have a firewall in front of it but it allows VPN passthru and port 1723 is forwarded to the server. What do I need to check to make sure that the network is available? Thanks!

MS DNS Server and corrupt cache records
by Guest Richard Price- 0 replies
- 619 views
Hi, I have been having a reoccuring issue where my Windows DNS Server suddenly stops resolving high profile major websites (news.bbc.co.uk as an example), and the only way to get it to resolve these domains again is to clear the cache. This happens every few days. Is this a known issue, or is there something that I am supposed to be doing? Is there a long term solution? Regards Richard

reboot
by Guest Kevin- 9 replies
- 618 views
I am running Windows 2003 server. I reboots for no reason a couple times a day. All I notice in the event logs is a bunch of warnings about printers being deleted (it's a Citrix server) but those are common. Then messages about booting up and services starting. In order for the server to reboot from a script created by a virus, wouldn't it have to be located somewhere specific for Windows to apply it? -- Thanks for your help. Kevin

extremely long logon time for one particular user
by Guest Alan Truism- 9 replies
- 618 views
I have a problem with one particular user, in which whenever he tries to logon it takes around 20 minutes for the computer to complete the logon state. This seems to carry over to whatever workstation that particular user is using. If anyone else logs on to their workstation it takes the normal amount of time. It seems to hang quite a long time on the "applying personal settings" part of the logon process. Then I get the following errors in the event log for that particular workstation. - == Event Type: Error Event Source: Userenv Event Category: None Event ID: 1030 Date: 11/1/2007 Time: 11:14:35 AM User: domain-corp\fred Computer: CORP-CF-SPAR…

Help with CAL for Win2K3 Server
by Guest ScottD- 8 replies

I have just spent two hours on the phone with M$ bouncing from techs and customer support reps trying to find someone who can help me install this @#$%# 5-user CAL. This used to be easy. I have a properly activated Windows 2003 Server R2, Standard Edition. I ordered a Windows Client Access License for an additional 5 users. I got M$'s white cardboard envelope by UPS that only has a greenish slip of paper in it, no disk media. The paper says it is "genuine" and that it is the CAL I paid for. Cool so far. I go to "Server Management" tool, click "Licensing" and there is an "Add License" wizard link. The form that appears asks me whether to conne…

I am trying to enable RDP to a Server 2003. I have enabled it on My Computer Remote, and in the User settings, but After doing a Netstat, I don't see port 3389 open. How can I open this port on the server? It is open on the firewall already. -- Larry

Server 2003 Blue Screen at Logon
by Guest Rick Clapp- 9 replies
- 617 views
I have a Dell 700 Server running Windows 2003 SP1 and acting as a domain control on the other side of the world. The server works fine unless you attempt to logon remotely (RPD) or locally. If you do it crashes and creates a memory.dmp file. When you attempt to logon in again you get the crash message. System Failure: Stop Error 0x00000008 (0xc0000005, 0x809413c4, 0xf29098dc, 0x00000000) No module or process is shown. The system doesn't have symbols loaded so the crash analyser I have doesn't help. The right thing to do is contact MS to get assistance. My manager won't let me use one of our MS incidents because then she has to explain to her …

Windows Server 2003 Print Server Troubleshooting
by Guest DSI Admin- 4 replies

Greetings! I have an interesting problem I thought I would share to see if anyone has any suggestions. Please bear with me, I've been banging my head on this for a while. Our printing network consists of a Print Server setup on our SDC running Windows Server 2003, SP2 (don't yell, I didn't set it up and now I'm stuck with it until I can free up another server), different types of laser printers including Konica-Minolta, different models of HP and a couple of odd-ball models, and clients all running Windows XP Pro, mostly SP2, some SP3. A few weeks ago I had to replace a corrupt driver on the print server for the HP LaserJet 1022n, of which we have ab…

Change Remote Desktop Port
by Guest DiFFeReNT- 9 replies
- 615 views
I've followed the instructions found all over the internet on how to change my remote desktop port via the registry, and it works great, over the network. All I have to do is ipaddress:3390. Unfortunately, this will not work over the internet. I have setup port forwarding for TCP (and UDP) port 3390 to forward to my computer, which has a static IP address, the same way that I have port 3389 successfully forwarded to another computer. I also manually opened the port 3390 on the Windows firewall. Remote desktop won't connect using the port 3390. When I run the port test at http://canyouseeme.org/, it says Error and Request Timed Out. Since my port forw…

Restore problem
by Guest LoneWolf- 9 replies
- 615 views
I have put up a new file server to replace the old one. After backing up the shares off the old one, when I go to do a restore, it runs for a few minutes, then stops and tells me it is out of disk space. There is over 300GB of free space on the drive. I have tried just backing up and restoring one share at a time, but the same thing happens. Most recent attempt: Backed up Operations share from old server to a file on new server. ~2.6GB Run restore to a folder on new server. Restore stops at 560MB and reports it is out of disk space. Disk has 337GB free. Any help is appreciated.

Hi to MCP and the Experience Pros out there, my company have just purchase a HP Proliant ML350 Server G4p - quad 3.2Ghz Xeon, 4GB Ram, 2x725Watts power supply, 5X72GB HDD with RAID hardware. I have to install either Windows Server 2003 with 32 bits or 64 bits, i did some research for 32 and 64 bits, i found out that 64bits can fully utilize the physical memory and so on, but overall, i am still blur about it. 1. can any Pros out there give me some advantage and disadvantage of 32bits and 64bits? 2. this Proliant Server have RAID hardware, from what i heard, it says that RAID 5 can auto backup and recreate data files if one of the harddisk break down, can …

Surprise Shotdown
by Guest CLM- 11 replies
- 613 views
I posted this yesterday but didn't get much of a response, so I thought I'd try again: We have a Win 2003 Ent SP2 server that just shuts down unexpectedly. The admins never tell me what has happened with this box. I looked in Event Viewer and there's no clues there. Furthermore, Perf Mon logs do not show anything unusual, i.e. high activity, etc. Where else can I look to find out what is going on with this server? I guess what I'm asking is what logs (besides event viewer) can I look at to see why this keeps going belly up and how do I find them?

Can't browse server shares
by Guest LincolnIT- 10 replies
- 612 views
We have about 6 Windows XP machines that suddenly cannot browse the server shares on the DC. These computers are not running the login scripts from the server automatically and I think this is why. Other XP machines are not having this issue. If you try to browse to the server using its ip address the shares do appear. I've tried the following with no success: -using a host file with the servername and ip address -enabling netbios over ip -ipconfig /flushdns

Override Default Domain Policy - how??
by Guest Okramo- 9 replies
- 611 views
Hi, I've created OU "Testers". Opened "Testers" properties and at Group Policy menu created Group Policy Object linked to OU "Testers". There at GP Object I've changed setting required password complexity and disabled it. Also I've blocked Policy Inheritance to disable applying Default Domain Policy to my OU "Testers", cause there in Default Domain Policy I have password complexity configured which I don't want to assign to OU "Testers". My problem is that when I want to create user in OU "Testers" it always warns me to use complex password, which is configured at default domain policy. I can't create user with simple password what I was planning to ac…

Is it possible to restore a system state backup to an alternate file path on a different computer, WITHOUT changing the system state of the computer you are restoring from? I have a computer that crashed, and I want to use the system state backup files to help attempt a recovery on that computer. Ideally I would like to restore the system state on a file system then copy files over. -- Will

WS 2008 32-bit MAX Usable RAM?
by Guest David F- 7 replies
- 611 views
I am currently running WS 2008 32-bit on my laptop as a workstation (I'm using PerformancePoint Server 2007 whiich only works on a MS Server OS) and when I use msinfo32.exe it says there is 3.93 GB Total Physical Memory (as opposed to 4 GB Installed Physical Memory). So this means that almost all 4 GB of RAM is available to WS 2008 32-bit. Is that correct? That compares with 3 to 3.5 GB that is available to MS Vista installations. Correct? TIA

Slow connection with new server
by Guest Chuck_N- 14 replies
- 611 views
I am preparing a new server to replace our 5 year old server running Wndows Server 2003 - Enterprise edition. That server has been upgraded through several versions of servers probably back to an early version of NT. As a result, it retains the old directory structure. We only have 20 workstations that are served by the server. It handles everthing for us including file sharing, web site, FTP, Exchange Server 2003, enterprise virus protection, and probably a few more tasks. It is obviously the PDC. This 5 year old server is running great and has had no problems. Because of its age, we are replacing it with a new server, and are planning the same co…

Improve speed print server
by Guest Smiley- 10 replies
- 611 views
On our 100mb network I have a W2003 Server with a Firewire Printer shared directly. I can copy files to the printserver at 8-9 m/sec but all print spooling happens at 3m/s maximum. If I print to the Imageserver over Gigabit, then the speed goes up to about 8-9m/s but It's still nothing in comparison to the file copy speed of 30-60m/s. Have tried different servers eg: shared on XP etc and different shared printers. 2 Questions. 1 Why? 2 Can we speed this up?

only part of a ReadProcessMemory or WriteProcessMemory request was completed error on 3 servers. I have 3 servers (DC, Exchange, App Server) all running Windows2k3 Standard.

Troubleshooting done so far: 1. tested on various machines- approximately 10. Through network mapped drives the error occurs 2. tested via remote…

OK, now I'll admit that at times I may not be the brightest light in the room but I have a pretty good understanding of repairing a failed software mirror.
