Offline Files Synchronization Failure
by Guest Jim- 0 replies
- 272 views
Hello all, I have a client who is experiencing problems synchronizing a large amount of data (approx 60GB) from a network share using offline files (on Windows XP clients) - effectively the synchronization looks like it has completed, but when disconnecting the PC from the network the majority of the files are not there (and the files are indeed shown as not being synch'd in the Offline Files Folder). The files in question are predominantly word / excel Office documents (i.e. supported file types) so the problem appears to be size related. We have implemented a GPO on the Server (SBS 2003 Std) to ensure that both the 'Default Cache Size' on t…

We have recently upgraded a few dc's to windows 2008, whilst keeping some DCs at 2003. Mostly all member servers are 2003, however we have a few older nt4 machines with data on them. The nt4 servers were migrated years ago from the older domain structure into a single domain in active directory. All has been fine up until recently. The PDC emulator is on a windows 2008 DC now. When logging onto the affected nt4 server/s the user manager for domains shows the main domain, but when you look at local groups, the domain groups which are inside are showing as 'DOMAIN NAME\account unknown'. WINS and DNS entries are the same on all servers which exhibit this issue, …

I have a Windows 2003 R2 server with WINS installed. Opening the WINS console, I get the message - "Can not find the WINs server". I have configured Wins to point to the server it is installed upon. The Wins service is operational and everything looks fine, except the red dot on the server and it stating it can not find the server. What am I overlooking? Thanks

No response to ctrl-alt-del
by Guest dan- 4 replies
- 451 views
The computer is a Windows 2003 Server, Standard, SP2, configured as file/print server on the domain. A couple of days ago, the server stopped responding to ctrl-alt-del to unlock the server, and remote access stopped working also. I feel like the problem has to do with too many terminal services sessions in use or something related to that, but I thought a reboot would clear that up. It didn't. After reboot, I'm back in the situation where I can't remote access the server (either on the lan or over the internet via RDP) and it will not respond to ctrl-alt-del. I'm obviously going to have to reboot again, but when I do, any thoughts on how I can troublesh…

R2
by Guest Dave Mc- 4 replies
- 478 views
I have never read so many posts and still not be sure of the correct answer. 1. If I have a server 2003 installed before R2 was released, is there an "upgrade" to R2 without buying the whole new product ? 2. If I have server 2003 installed after R2 was released (have the CD2), but exited the install when asked about installing additional features from CD2, can I now make it an R2 ? Just run adprep and setup2 from the CD2 ?? Thanks for clearing this up.

VPN/Firewall/Remote Access Problem
by Guest Leo Seccia- 1 reply
- 305 views
Hello everyone, I have a bit of a problem. Today for the first time in my life I had to set up one of our servers as VPN/Remote Access. I managed to set it up, but as i only had one NIC I had to go for the "Custom configuration" settings. On the way, I had to disable the Firewall service. I can now connect to the server VPN, however now I would like to restrict access to remote desktop and other apps - eg. I need the firewall to control access. Essentially, I want to: - only allow remote access to the server through the VPN. - have all the convenience of the firewall. Is this possible? Thank you in advance Leo

system drive upgrade possible?
by Guest anthonyx26- 4 replies
- 473 views
I have a fairly new Dell server (2 yo/dual core) but the dummy who originally set it up, split a single 120 GB hard drive into two partitions...one for system (12 GB) and another for data (108 GB). It's configured as a "basic" drive in disk manager. The server is running Windows 2003 and Active Directory. I'm not sos concerned about the data drive as I am about the system drive (as I'm considering upgrading it to Windows 2008). Is there any way to, more or less painlessly, migrate the system drive to a larger hard drive? - anthonxy26

Swap File Question
by Guest supersonic_oasis- 1 reply
- 294 views
Hi all, I have a 64bit Windows 2003 R2 machine. It is an exchange server, and it is starting to run out of space on the C: drive (only 2.6 GB left). Pretty much the only thing that puts files on the C: drive are Windows Updates. I was thinking about making some changes to the swap file to make some room. The server has 32GB of RAM. The swap files are currently setup as follows: C: 2046-4092 MB E: 2046-49149 MB My question is this: What if I change the size of the swap partition on the C: drive to say...300MB? That would give me plenty of room, as the swap file is currently taking up 2.5GB. Is it safe to do this? Any help is appreciated, th…
