If the pdc emulator goes offline where do the other domain controllers get their time from? Do they get it from their own local clock? Can you set it so they will automatically go to an external source to get their time if the pdc emulator goes offline?

Win 2003 VSS EventID 20
by Guest Geoff Lane- 2 replies
- 262 views
I recently changed Antivirus vendor and system state backup got broke during the process :( The source of the problem seems to be that Volume Shadow Copy Service DLLs have become unregistered, but I don't know which DLLs are involved to try manual re-registering. Here's the first associated event from the Application log: Event ID: 20 Source: VSS Volume Shadow Copy Service error: A critical component required by the Volume Shadow Copy service is not registered. This might happened if an error occurred during Windows setup or during installation of a Shadow Copy provider. The error returned from CoCreateInstance on class with CLSID {40700425-0080…

Hi Folks, I have a server with two network cards. I need to configure the network cards in order to have backup network card. To explain more what i need is to know if there is something i can do to make the two network cards have the same IP but one of them is working and in case the switch related to the first network card go down automatically the second4 network card placed on another switch will work. It's like Load balancing the two network card but and not two servers. Can this be done, if no is there something i could for that? thanks in advance.

I have several people that need to manage a Windows Media Services 9 server. Without giving them administrator permissions, I cannot get them to connect. I have followed http://support.microsoft.com/kb/842072 and this does not work. Ultimately I would like to deploy the admin tool and have people connect without being local admins.

C:\Windows\Security\edb.log and tmp.edb
by Guest Danno- 2 replies
- 284 views
Hello, Backups are skipping the following files on a Windows Server 2003 SP1 box: C:\Windows\Security\edb.log C:\Windows\Security\tmp.edb This server happens to be hosting Exchange (it's the Front End box) but I don't believe this is related to Exchange. I see this directory and database/transaction logs for all of our Windows Server 2003 machines. I'm not having any luck finding articles that explain why these files are being skipped but from the error we get it's stated the files are unable to be opened. Any thoughts? Thanks,

VPN under NAT with a single eth interface: how?
by Guest Sid- 3 replies
- 293 views
Hi, I have a w2k3 enterprise server, which is under a NAT. As my router does not have an integrated VPN server, I would like to set up my w2k3 to accept incoming VPN connections in order to have access to all my internal network from the Internet. The server has just one ehternet card using the DHCP of the router, so it has an IP like 192.168.1.2. I would use Internet IP to connect to the VPN from the Internet, and the Port forwarding would redirect my traffic to the server. I've set up the VPN using with the wizard of the Routing feature choosing the custom option, and then VPN. I can connect to my server using VPN, but the IP assigned belong to a diff…

Question forcing clients to access new server shares
by Guest AllenK- 2 replies
- 255 views
Hello all, I am going to be adding a new Win2k3 server to a domain. No problem there. My question is if I give this new server a new name, how do I force the clients to access the network shares on this server. The server is basically just a file server and the users login with a batch file in theNetlogon share that creates their drive mappings. When I did this before, I had a hard time getting the clients to access the new server shares. I had to manually remove the existing mapped drives from the PC's then re-run the logon.bat file in the Netlogon share. I know I can add the /d switch to remove the previous drive mappings. Maybe I need to also…

Hello, a few days ago my server became unstable, SMTP and Exchange services restarted and other applications do not respond well. I've been looking into many things but none of them fix the problem so far. One thing I noticed is that the processes do not use enough memory. All processes use memory under 50mb but in Task Manager Performance tab MEM Usage is over 1 GB. Any ideas where all that memory is going?

Print Migrator and old printer share name
by Guest Steve- 0 replies
- 191 views
We used the Microsoft Print Migrator to migrate the printer devices from Windows 2000 to 2003. However, we want to use the old server name \\printserver1. We changed DNS to the same IP as \\printserver2..but when we try to go to the UNC path of \\printserver1 to see the print shares..we get "\\printserver1 is not accessible. you might not have permission to use this network resource. logon failure: the target account name is incorrect". When I look at my printer setup (XP SP2)..I see 'access is denied'. What have others done in this case to transfer the printer devices to a new server, but keep the old print server name. We may be better off just renaming …

cannot run scripts on domain controler
by Guest RichGK- 4 replies
- 362 views
I have a logon script located on a domain controler created to map a drive to a shared resource on the same server (this is a test server for learning purposes so the domain controler is also a file and print server). However it fails to run. When attempting to run the script manually via the client PC I get the error message "Windows cannot access the specified device, path or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item" However, I can open the folder that the script is contained in and create and delete items so security of that resource isn't a problem. I have also replaced permissions on the script directly with the same result. …

NEED HELP uninstalling SP2 on SBS 2003
by Guest Bryan- 3 replies

Hi, I'm having issues trying to uninstall SP2 on my SBS 2003 box. Reason why I'm trying to uninstall is because ever since I installed SP2, my companyweb is no longer viewable using RWW. At first, I thought something was wrong with the companyweb. I've tried uninstalling it and reinstalling with no luck getting it back on line. Then I found a post saying that SP2 has had some issues with companyweb and RWW. The person uninstalled SP2 and bingo, he was able to access companyweb via RWW. When I try and uninstall SP2 it hangs up in the "restoring catalogs" then I get an error message. "The system cannot find the file specified" - "The service pack 2 wa…
