Offline folders in peer-to-peer environment
by Guest - Bobb -- 3 replies

Background: Friends have small shop with a W2000 server. They (9 users) log onto server and from there the primary application is to use QuickBooks in a workgroup mode. Exchange NOT on their server. They fetch their email from their internet webhost ( not ISP - just outfit that hosts their website and email - I'll call the webhost company ABC ). Currently the email service at ABC delivers their email to their PC's and then deletes it from ABC's server, leaving the only copy of their mail on each PC in the DocsandSettings\Username\...AppData\Outlook folder. They COULD buy a new server/disks but they are really just casual users and no one qualified to be …

WSUS Question
by Guest KDawg44- 1 reply
- 202 views
Hello, We are trying to install and configure WSUS on a server that has SQL Server on it. We do not want to use the SQL server instance so we wanted to install MSDE for the WSUS. We are receiving an error when we try to install MSDE: A strong SA password is required for security reasons. Please use SAPWD switch to supply the same. Is this a conflict between SQL Server and the MSDE on the box? Can they both be on there? Thanks. Kevin

Disable NTFS Compression for Users
by Guest Snuffy- 2 replies

Is there a method to disable users from compressing NTFS drives, folders, and/or files on a server? For example, if a user goes into properties for a network drive there is a check box option for "Compress drive to save disk space". If they check this option there are not denied access and the compression occurs. A couple users have already compressed their home folders. Luckily nobody has done this for the common shared folder yet. I played with this in the lab and it appears write access or higher allows a user to compress. This MS article says how compressing can affect performance so I find it odd it can't be easily disabled for users. "Best pra…

by Guest Steve- 1 reply

We have a W2K standard server used as web server that can access external sites / hosts by IP address, but not by hostname. nslookup shows that DNS is working fine and it can resolve hostnames to ip fine. But, when trying to use IE, or ASP mail directed to a hosted mail server on the same network (mail.domain.com) it will fail and gives an "Unknown host mail.domain.com" error. Using any browser by hostname fails with server can't be found. Use http:// ip address and it works fine. Incoming traffic works fine, but there are some sites on the server are using ColdFusion's cfhttp to access remote data, as well as posting credit card data through custom ta…

Performance counter not working in Perfmon
by Guest markeboy- 0 replies

I have a simple custom performance counter that is created each time my service starts. The category is created at install time. I can connect to the service's process and see my counter incrementing correctly. Perform shows this value as 0 regardless, however this was working a few reinstalls ago. It did stop working after I had to reboot my computer to fix a "this installation has been marked as deleted (or similar)" error message. I am sure I am checking the correct counter as when this in uninstalled the counter category is removed. I can see other non custom counters correctly in perfmon I am running WIN2K3 SP2. Any issues or explanation f…

Modem software on Window 2003 Server
by Guest rcir88- 0 replies

I have a faxmodem attached a server running Windows 2003 Server. I use the server as a terminal server and to receive faxes. I send faxes using an email fax service. The faxes received are forwarded to a folder on my file server. I use the Microsoft fax program that’s part of the OS. My problem is that the faxes are missing a line or two per page. I called the maker of my faxmodem and they said I needed to make some flow control setting changes; however the Microsoft program doesn’t allow you to make flow control changes. Is there a simple program that works on Windows 2003 server I can use which would allow me to make these changes and do everythin…
