Allowing file share browsing for un-authenticated users
by Guest Nonapeptide@gmail.com- 9 replies
- 538 views
I have a Windows Server 2003 file server in a workgroup environment that needs to allow anyone who plugs into the network to browse its file shares without being prompted for a username and password. Ideally it would behave just like a Windows XP machine that has a file share. A simple UNC path like this: \\ServerName\ should reply with the available file shares to anyone who asks. What is the option to get this behaviour? I can't seem to find the local policy to get this to work. Thanks bunches,

VSS errors
by Guest Vallen- 1 reply
- 263 views
I have a domain controller that will not run VSS. Everytime I go to shadow copies i get en error, "Initialization failed. Error 0x80080005: Server Execution failed." Event Viewer says "Volume Shadow Copy Service error: Unexpected error NetGroupGetUsers(). hr = 0x80070005." Everytime i run the volume shadow copy service i get "Windows could not start the Volume shadow copy on Local Computer. For more information, review the system event log. If this is a non-Microsoft service, contact the service vendor, and refer to service-specific error code -2147418113." I have no idea how to fix this. Does anyone have any clue as to what I can do to fix this?

Hi All, I'm trying to find a way to backup and restore the network printer settings for a server I have to reinstall. I found PrintMig from MS but it seems it backup\restore only the settings for local printers and not for network ones. Does anybody have an idea about that? Thank you very much

User Home folder and Profile folder creation
by Guest Paul Mathieu- 0 replies
- 175 views
Just wondering if anyone could point me to a resource/document that explains the industry best practices for creating user folders in 2003 server? Essentially I'm looking to automate as much of the process as possible, as right now I’m adding and configuring the permissions on the home and Profile folders manually – and this needs to change. Perhaps there's a Microsoft Document that highlights their recommended model from the ground up? Can't say I've come across it yet though. T.I.A. Paul

Recover deleted file
by Guest Jom- 2 replies

Hi, I have a user that created a file on a network drive and then accidently deleted it 10 minutes later. Is it possible to recover the file since there was no backup within the 10 minutes and since deleting a file from a network drive doesn't put the file into the recycle bin. Thanks, J

Adding a second RAID set
by Guest John- 1 reply
- 168 views
Hi Our Dell Perc 4/Di had two disks in a RAID 1 configuration. Now we have added two more disks and have made another RAID1 out of these two. In Perc configuration old and new raid sets appear as two logical drives. However when I reboot the server it says 0 logical disks found. The only way for me is to take out the two new disks and reboot and then the original logical disk appears and I can boot into windows. What am I doing wrong and what is the correct way to add another pair of disks in a RAID1 while there is another pair already in RAID1 on Perc 4 /Di? Many Thanks Regards

Backup Exec not talking to VSS on Windows Server 2003 R2
by Guest deca2499- 1 reply
- 202 views
Hello all, I am not really sure where to put this thread so here goes. I have come into a company where they are having a problem backing up one of the domain controllers. I am seeing an error message ID# 13, Source: VSS. It is showing a username in the registry that is no longer valid. When I go to the properties of VSS it is showing to use the System account. My problem is this: 2 DC's, one getting a successful backup and the other is not. Both have the same error message, and both are configured the same from what I can see. Can someone help me with this issue? This is getting to be very confusing. Thank you in advance for all of your help.

Debug of offline folders
by Guest Adrian Marsh (NNTP)- 0 replies
- 181 views
Hi, I've an ex-SBS2003 server (transitioned), where I use offline folders. However, quite frequently, my client PC will take the shares offline (whilst on a 100Mb LAN) saying the servers are not available. Server CPU hovers at between 20-40%. memory is pretty much 100% anyway thanks to Exchange.. No firewalls involved. But I dont understand why my client thinks the server isnt there. So - two questions: 1) Is there any debug I can enable on the client? 2) Network utilisation is <1%, ICMP roundtrip is 1ms, and with the server stats above, what else could be causing it to "timeout"? Would like to sort this as its quite annoying. Thanks, …

Network Share file list refresh delays?
by Guest Richard Price- 0 replies
- 170 views
Hi, I have a Windows 2003 R2 Enterprise server that is acting as a file share server, with several shares that clients mount. The problem I am currently seeing is files are being put onto the shares, but the clients are not seeing them - they exist locally, but clients are not seeing them in Windows Explorer, even after a forced refresh of the folder. Eventually the clients will catch up and the folders will appear to them, but often thats inconvenient timewise. Has anyone experienced this before? Cheers Richard
