Firstly: We are quite a new MS Server 2003 network, comprising of around 10k users, and 40 ish servers.

Would I be correct in thinking that I need a dedicated server for System Centre 2007 with operations manager, vm manager and softgrid…

Hi guys, Got a good one for ya. :) I have a couple of users that are in a domain and I want to move them to another domain. I want to do it as painless as possible to them. Would be nice if they could use the same profile on their workstation. That's the kicker. How can I move them and use the same profile under Documents and Settings as they always have, preserving all their register entries for the various programs they use??? Thanks, John

NTP warning
by Guest Canuck geoff- 2 replies
- 222 views
Hi: I have a series of Win2000 servers that were formerly connecting for NTP to my client's site via a backend connection. A security finding meant they had to be redirected internally to our UNIX server as an NTP source. The machines are all stand alone machines, and they are regularly giving the warning below. When I try a manual update using w32tm -once everthing appears to work just fine as shown. The documentation (and even the options) seem to be conflicting, and from what I read net time is deprecated. Any assistance would be appreciated.

We noticed there are lot of "Application Data" folder showing up in our user's Home folder. When I double-click on the "Application Data" folder, it will shows the user's name as "F:\home\john" and displaying all of my user's files. When I double-click on another "Application Data" folder it will show the next user's files. When I rename the "Application Data" folder to the user's name it will change the username to all of the "Application Data" folder. Could you tell me how to fix it?

Schedule system state backups on W2K8?
by Guest Augusto Alvarez- 0 replies
- 145 views
Hello everyone, (re-posting this question) Is there anyway to schedule the system state backups on a Windows Server 2008? I found out that the only way to accomplish that backup is using the WBADMIN cmd tool and there's no graphic option. I cannot use a .bat file with the task scheduler because the command line requires for confirmation when it runs. Anyone with a solution for this???

Need Help with Win 2008 Network Access Protection

I'm following Microsoft's "Step By Step Guide: Demonstrate DHCP NAP Enforcement in a Test Lab" but am having difficult. I have the 2 servers and 1 client set up per the directions, but am having 2 problems: 1. In the 1st test where the only SHV requirement is to have the Windows Firewall on, despite having it turned on in my Vista SP1 client, the machine is still being shunted to the restricted.contoso.com domain through DHCP. If I turn off NAP for the DHCP scope, then the client goes into the default contoso.com domain. Is there a way to see what's failing in the validation? I can't see anything in the NPS server event logs. 2. Despite having a router o…

License Replication Problem
by Guest Aamir- 0 replies

Hi, Initially we had single Windows 2003 domain Controller with Per server license mode (server1). After sometimes we changed the name of this server to Server2 by using NETDOM. We changed server license mode to Per Device Mode and have bought 30 CALs for per device. Problem is that license manager is still showing both old and new name in Server View window. When I click on old name ‘Server1’ I got message box ‘ access denied.’ How can I remove completely old license information? We later added two more servers and setup as Per Device mode and install DFS root on all three server and make all server Global catalog server. 2nd problem is tha…

Replacing a DC
by Guest SeriousSam- 2 replies
- 176 views
I need to replace a DC. I would like to get some feedback, before I get started. Currently the network has a SBS2003 as DC with no othe rmember servers. I need to replace that with a machine running Windows Server 2003 R2. I am considering the following: 1. Join the new server to the network and promote it to BDC. (Im still not sure this is possible with SBS, since SBS wants to be the only DC on a network.) 2. Decommision the SBS, and allow it to transfer the all the roles and Global Catalog to the new server. ....Will this work? If not whats the best path for this when SBS is part of the picture? Thanks!

Issues Configuring SMTP for 1st Time
by Guest tuned- 1 reply
- 164 views
We're doing some testing w/ a W2k3 SE vm and would like to test the ability for mail to be sent directly from the server without using Exchange. The VM currently has an internal address on our network but I can give it an external one if that helps in the matter. IIS has been added as well as a Default SMTP server. Authentication has been configured to "anonymous access" and relay has been set to allow "all except the list below" with the list empty. This is a stand-alone server not part of a domain so under the domain name for the SMTP settings all that's listed is the server name. I've tried opening a telnet session to the mail server and sendin…

Wacky Backup
by Guest Anteaus- 0 replies
- 148 views
I'm beginning to wonder just what this 2003 R2 server has been smoking? http://iwrconsultancy.co.uk/img/wacky.gif Backup using NTBackup applet, batch (top left) file clearly defines tape name, yet the program requests last Friday's tape to be inserted instead of the one stated. What's even stranger is that if the job is cancelled then manually relaunched via the exact-same batch file, second time around it runs normally. I guess one answer would be Backup Exec, but for small sites it's a tad costly.

Hi, We have two subnets linked together and two seperate routers that pipe out to the Internet, with another router joining the two subnets together. We need one subnet to use one Internet connection and the other subnet to use the other Internet connection. At the moment, it is set up as follows: Internet Connection (External IP) -> Router A (192.168.0.31) -> Subnet A -> Router B (Subnet A,192.168.0.42), (Subnet B, 192.168.1.1) -> Subnet B -> Router C (192.168.1.31) -> Internet Connection (External IP) I've managed to set it up so Subnet A and B can talk to each other, and one of the subnet can get out onto their Internet, but I'm unable …
