[Fwd: Very strange vbscript issue.]
by Guest Brian Cowan- 0 replies

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: Very strange vbscript issue. Date: Thu, 10 Apr 2008 15:17:16 -0400 From: Brian Cowan <brcowan@nospam.nospam> Newsgroups: microsoft.public.windows.server.scripting Hello all, this is my first post, so please be gentle... I am dealing with a customer with a Windows 2003 R2 Enterprise edition server (x86) with SP2. When they use a 3rd party web server, and it launches a vbscript, the scripting engine fails with what appears to be a "file not found" error. It essentially says it can't initialize the scripting engine because of this error. You may note that I don't have the exact error text... Well that's because…

SP2 kills major funtions of 2003 Server Standard R2
by Guest Terry Hall- 2 replies

Hi all, I installed SP2 yesterday, and a whole bunch of features have stopped working. Help & Support, Search, and Run when selected from the Start button do not function (I get a message saying "Windows cannot create a shortcut here. Do you want the shortcut to be placed on the desktop instead?"); the Administrative Tools, Network Connections, Portable Media Devices, Scanners and Cameras, and Scheduled Tasks links in Control Panel do not respond; I have shortcuts on the desktop to several of the Administrative Tools (AD Users & Computers, System Manager, etc) - the shortcuts still work but the icons for them have disappeared (they just have the…

taskbar icon balloon
by Guest j54ams- 1 reply
- 146 views
I reinstalled windows xp media center 2005 after installing a new hard drive. After doing so, the information balloons in the taskbar don't appear, just get popping sound. For instance, when using the safely remove hardware, I don't get the balloon stating it's safe to remove. Only hear the popping sound. When resting the cursor over an icon, I get the name of the program and right clicking brings up the menu. But, I can't get the information balloon.

Permissions Question
by Guest techiehelpme@gmail.com- 1 reply
- 153 views
Take into consideration the following scenario: I have a Windows 2003 domain with a member file server. I have a share on this file server and the Shared permissions are set to Everyone - Full Control. I then have NTFS permissions set to local Administrators on the member filer server as well as a couple other domain security groups. This share is not accessible to anyone on the domain unless they are apart the of appropriate security group. However, I have another Windows Server 2003 server that is in a Workgroup that can access this share when logged in as the local Administrator. Is this normal behavior? The Windows 2003 domain member file server and th…

Mantatory Profile Woes
by Guest KWME- 1 reply
- 152 views
I'm running a Server 2003 network in a school setting where I'd like things to be pretty locked-down. I use both mandatory profiles and group policy to lock down user accounts. Lately I've had consistent errors when all users load the mandatory profile. The error message states that the profile is unavailable and that the error is that the system couldn't find the file specified. I've checked and rechecked the permissions on the share where the profile is located and they check-out. One thing I have noticed is that when I change the file name from ntuser.dat to ntuser.man the file type label doesn't change from "dat" to "man". It just stays on ".man"…

Strange File Permissions
by Guest Brian McGrew- 1 reply
- 134 views
Good morning, Running in a Win2K3/R2 (64-Bit) I'm seeing some very weird things happening with file permissions and ownership. I've got about 3TB of storage with multiple shares and I'm seeing entire file systems become owned by a random id like 0-24-036-303-630 and permissions being reset to read-only. Any idea why? My network is small enough that I can account for all users actions and I know it's not a user that's resetting them. Also I can be certain that I do not have a virus because this particular subnet is private and not on the net. Are there any utilities out there that I could use to forcibly reset ownership and permissions just in case the…

APC UPS causing crashes?
by Guest Anteaus- 7 replies
- 291 views
Server 2003 R2, also 2000 SP4. APC Back-UPS 650/750, USB signalling lead. No specialist software, standard Windows power-management settings in use. Both of these servers have shown problems with intermittent rebooting since the above type of UPS was connected. The 2000 server very occasionally, the 2003 daily. Since taking the UPS away the 2003 has been stable (touch wood!) A third server running Debian Linux also had issues last year with a memory-leak which was traced to the (distro's own) UPS-monitoring applet. Same UPS model. The Debian guys didn't seem to think there were any known bugs with their UPS-monitoring daemon. Doesn't seem to be pow…

I'm setting up a MOSS07 database server which will be Server 2003 Enterprise R2 SP2 64 bit (x64). However, when I access the MVLS site to download that product under terms of Volume Licensing, that OS does not appear. The only choices are Server 2003 Enterprise R2 SP2 or Server 2003 Enterprise R2 SP2 64 bit Itanium. Where am I supposed to obtain the correct OS download under Volume Licensing?

Password Policy + Cached user
by Guest FL- 4 replies
- 241 views
We have some users who mainly work on the road and rarely come into the office. The user logs in cached and then will vpn to the office if required for network files, etc... Mail is connected via Outlook RPC. If we enable password policy for these users, they will get a message after they run a vpn connection to the office that the password will need to be changed but can't log off and log in as their VPN will drop. We are not using the Microsoft VPN so selecting the "Logon Using Dial-Up Connection" doesn't work with 3rd party VPN. What options (if any) do we have to ensure a cached user still requires a password change but can still log on successf…

In our domain we have 2 DCs, both with Windows Server 2003 Enterprise SP2 installed. We have obtained 2 copies & licenses of Windows Server 2003 Enterprise R2 in order to perform upgrade, but the installation media does not incoroporate any Service Pack. Should we expect to be any problems in installing R2 on those servers due to SP mismatch? Thanks in advance

by Guest yaro137@googlemail.com- 4 replies
- 226 views
I've installed RD client on one of the 2kpro PCs on the network and when I try to use it co connect to other computers it works just fine. The problem is when I go the other way round so connecting say from the 2003SBS to that 2kpro machine. I'm getting a message saying that I cannot connect to that computer as remote connection might be not be enabled on it. How do I go about enabling it then? There is no Remote tab as in XP. I found some articles about installing TS on it from Add/ Remove Windows components but I jus can't find it there. Does anyone know how to get it work? Thanks yaro

Incomplete offline files...
by Guest Jake- 0 replies
- 142 views
Hi, We have problems with Windows' 'Make available Offline' feature. Despite that I have tried both the offline files cache reinit tips here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/230738 ... more than half of some users' offline files are still marked with 'Incomplete local copy', after a new, full syncronization. Hence they are not available offline. Does the server include any managing functionality for controlling the workstations' offline files? I have only attacked the problem from the workstation side (notebooks). This problem started to occur for quite a few of our users around a month ago and I don't want to reinstall their windows to get r…

Hi, we just installed a file server (and print server) with good hardware configurations. However, users experience very poor performance when reading files from folders in that server. Curiously, uploading a file works fine, the problem is when we try to open it. Any tip to start looking for a solution? Regards. Daniel

Remove Old Mapped Printers via GPO/Script/Something?
by Guest Scott Townsend- 1 reply
- 209 views
We've migrated our Print Server a Few times and now we have several legasy printers mapped to user sessions. The Printers were connected by just double clicking the Printer Share on the Server by the User. So not pushed by GPO. We are now pushing out the New Printers to the users via GPO. Besides having the Users go and Delete the Printers out of the Printer's Control Panel, how can I delete them?? It would be great if there was a Script, GPO, or something that I could run when the user logs in and have it remove all of the old printers. I've tried running these Manually for users and myself. rundll32 printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /q /dn /n\\server\HB…

Replacing domain controller and exchange box
by Guest infused- 2 replies
- 254 views
Hi All, I was wondering about the best way to replace a domain controller and exchange box while staying live if possible. If not, the shortest down time. I have one box as the domain controller and exchange box. I want to create a secondary domain controller to take over the primary role. I wish to build a seperate box for exchange as well, but the exchange box is normally quite busy. So basically I am splitting one box into two. My main concern is the exchange box. Suggestions? Thanks,
