Tips on reducing profile sizes automatically...
by Guest Jake- 1 reply
- 161 views
Hi, Some of my users are plagued with huge profile sizes which takes a lot of time for logging on/off. Does it exist an elegant way to find out which folders are actually pulled and pushed at logon / logoff? From this collection of folders I could list the biggest files from 'temp' and 'download' folders and give the users the opportunity to manually delete unnecessary files. Thanks for tips on this rgds jake

permissions to reboot (both locally and remotely)
by Guest Blake- 6 replies
- 295 views
I have created a domain user and I want to grant it the rights to reboot a server (this is NOT an admin, either local or domain). I am looking for the minimum requirements for both a remote shutdown/reboot as well as a local shutdown/reboot (such as a scheduled task). I am using SHUTDOWN.EXE currently. I have given the domain user both 'Force shutdown from a remote system' as well as 'shut down the system' - but I get errors, most notably: C:\Program Files\Windows Resource Kits\Tools>shutdown -r -m \\test_server The operation completed successfully. A required privilege is not held by the client. During the local attempt, the scheduled task runs …

cannot switch Control Panel to Classic view
by Guest Dave- 0 replies
- 147 views
Hi, For some reason in a Citrix Session on a Windows 2003 server I cannot switch Control Panel to Classic View. Clicking on the 'Switch to Classic View' link does not do anything. I have trawled through Group Policy to see if this is somehow turned off somewhere but cannot find anything. I need to get to the Mail icon as I have a user with an Outlook problem and I suspect his mail profile. Any ideas of either how to get to the mail icon or how to switch to classic view? thanks Dave

If your PC is taking too much time to start up and throwing unexpected error messages and automatically restarting, it is most likely that your PC registry is having errors.

The choice is yours.

NTBACKUP log missing
by Guest seanmig- 12 replies
- 373 views
We are using NTBackup (in a batch command) as a PRE command (runs the batch file first before running actual Backup Exec job) on Backup Exec 10. If you run the batch file manually by double clicking or as a scheduled task you can see "backup.log" being created in "%Userprofile%\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Windows NT\NTBackup\data\" folder. However there is no log file generated whenever the batch file was invoked (as pre-command) by running a Backup Exec job. Has anyone encountered something like this? Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks and regards, Charles

Workaround for a possible bug
by Guest Wowbagger- 0 replies
- 153 views
Not sure if this is a bug or not, but it was definitely an irritation. Workaround included. My server (2003) runs a script several times a day that pulls files off of a remote FTP site. It downloads the files into a temporary directory, then sorts them accordingly. It turns out that the permissions from the -remote ftp server- were being retained during the download, which was preventing people from being able to use the files locally. This behavior goes against every scrap of documentation that I have been able to locate, but the permissions set by the -remote ftp server- were being retained. I even followed the directions in http://support.microso…

Print service slow for clients
by Guest Brian_Christie- 3 replies
- 218 views
Hi. I have a new Win2K3 R2 server as a DC & a print server: Dell PE1950 Quad 2.66, 4GB ram, RAID1 15Krpm drives. (my old Win2K prinserver is failing). When I try to connect to a shared printer from most clients, it takes a real long time to add the printer and sometimes the add fails. If it takes a long time and succeeds, the print driver doesn't get installed. What did I do wrong when I shared the printers? I did it like I did on the old Win2K server. (add printer, created a std IP port, etc.) What's sad is that my old Win2K server is fast at adding printers from the client PCs. This new one should be just as good. Thanks for whatever help you…

Windows Media Server audio/video out of sync
by Guest Janet- 0 replies
- 153 views
I know you may want to redirect me to the Media Server site, but the site's broken? It won't allow you to enter a question. I can log in, but it has a broken sign and won't bring up the pop-up for question entry. I'm running Server 2003/IIS6 enterprise with Media Services 9. When streaming audio/video, one file seems to get out of sync when playing back using ff/rew. Looks goofy. Any reason for this? Others on the same server don't appear to do this. they are smaller files, though. Any help appreciated....

Hello, This is a problem that I frequently run into and hope I can get some advice on. There are some shared folders, that have sub folders with non inheriting permissions (different set).

Now I have user C who A, B, C ,etc report to asking for permissions to subfolders DivisionA, DivisionB Is there a way to add the access ACLs for user C to all subfolders without ma…

Strange domain name
by Guest jawdoc- 1 reply
- 165 views
I really need some help on something. I logged into the server and looked in AD for the full domain name on a DC for a client because I was having trouble adding a workstation to a domain. Instead of the typical FQDN "something.local" the only thing that is listed is "local" no period in front of the name nor is there a second level name. I assume this is the top level of the domain name and the second level was never named. Is that possible? And if so what do I put in the domain name for the workstation. ".local"? So I am trying to figure out how this domain was named? Any help is really appreciated!

When I deploy an XP wim image to a computer using WinPE with injected NIC drivers, the first time around it will image it OK and run thru SysPrep but after rebooting it is never getting into the OS just a continous reboot. I have tried to start in in safe mode as well with the same results. However it has been added to the domain as directed by Sysprep. If I then reimage the machine, there are no problems, it runs SysPrep again as well as being added to the domain but under a different machine name. I have tried both formating and not formating the first time and get the same results, however I just let it run on the second time and it works. Anybody h…

Mapped Share / Scheduled Task
by Guest John Deakins- 1 reply
- 196 views
We have a scheduled task created under User1 to run a script. The script requires a mapping to a share. The share is mapped using User2's credentials. The task runs fine as long as User1 is logged on and the share is mapped properly. Once User1 logs off, the mapped share is disconnected. Is there a way to have the share mapped even while the user is logged off...so that the task can run when the user is not logged on?
