WinServer 2003 - Tired of italic font introduced with SP2
by Guest Synapse Syndrome- 8 replies
- 297 views
I am tired of *everything* being in italics in Windows Server 2003 SP2. As I access it through Remote Desktop, I cannot even use ClearType, so using apps strains my eyes more than necessary. Is there any way to get rid of it and use a normal font instead? Cheers ss.

Everything is in italics. How do I get all fonts back to normal ??
by Guest Synapse Syndrome- 9 replies
- 360 views
This is actually a problem I am having with Windows Server 2003, but I am sure that the solution is the same as XP. When I applied SP2 for Windows Server 2003, around this time last year, every font turned to italics - the Start Menu, context menus, all text in applications, Event Viewer, Device Manager, IIS Manager, all wizards and dialogue boxes, title bars, icons text, etc. Even the nearly all the text in websites when using IE7 or Firefox is in italics (it does not appear in italics in the rare cases where the CSS calls for 'normal'). The only thing that is not in italics is the Command Prompt. I have been using it for a year thinking that this w…

Hello, I am having a problems copying large files (500M backup file) from one server to another, I get the below messages. I also tried this test with large folders (+500M), sometimes they work and sometimes fail. If I ZIP the backup file it copies OK. Very strange. Error message on screen: "Network name no longer available" The following message appears in the Event Viewer: "Event ID: 3019 Description: The redirector failed to determine the connection type" The servers in question are Windows Server 2003 Std with SP2 and all patches through December 2007. Any help you can give would be appreciated. Thanks Angelo

Multiple Branch Office HookUps
by Guest JJ- 5 replies
- 247 views
Hi All, I have an app that needs to be used in multiple branch offices by 25 users on average. The application is built using c# with a thin client front end and Sql server 2005 for back end. What would be the best way to get the data back to HQ? I could pop servers at each location and replicate the data down to HQ every night but would prefer to have a solution that pushed the data on a 10 min cycle back to HQ. Any thoughts on the way to go with this? From a network and application stand point how would you set something like this up? Thanks, Jam

Apple Macs connecting to SMB file shares
by Guest CL- 4 replies
- 214 views
I have several apple macs (10.4 & 10.5) connecting to files shares on our 2003 R2 server (which is a domain controller). They can connect fine using AFP (but files get truncated) and if I try to connect them via SMB you get several different errors relating to permission access or can not mount the volume but connecting via AFP is fine our via a PC. Now.......yesterday I setup a test share on the 2003 R2 domain member server, SMB connections worked perfectly. The share and folder permission were exactly the same as the original file server? I have tried also creating a new GPO and binded the macs to the domain and set the GPO to KB555652 which chan…

WSUS Setting question
by Guest sfisher- 1 reply
- 146 views
Does anyone know why the 'Allow Basic authentication (password is sent in cleartext)' checkbox on the Proxy Server Tab of the Update Source and Proxy Server settings in Options does not remain checked. This is only happening on my newer Server 2k3 R2 Enterprise X64 edition SP2 Server. I have two WSUS servers one for two seperate AD Forests and the other Server is Running Server 2k3 R2 SP2 Standard 32 bit. My syncs fail on the new one until I recheck that box and immediately do another sync.

by Guest lansvcs- 2 replies
- 191 views
We are using W2K3 Standard R2 SP2 as a file server. We grant access to the share using share permissions and NTFS permissions and all works as it should. We would also like to restrict which computers a user can access the share from. User A has access to the share from Compter A but User A is denied access to the share from Computer B. So far we have been unable to do this. Any ideas would be appreciated.

why have a server?...advice needed
by Guest Greg Peterson- 12 replies
- 420 views
Greetings. I will be starting a small (20-30 person) business soon, and will likely be a key decision maker for the IT equipment. In the future company, I am wondering why we need to have a server, when a relatively cheap NAS will likely do the trick for all of our filesharing needs (mostly sharing engineering drawings and other large files). For e-mail, we'll probably go with Gmail and eliminate the need for any mail server (if people want to set up POP3 accounts on their PCs, that's their choice). Our website will receive minimal traffic, so it will be hosted elsewhere. If we use something like Peachtree accounting (which is for 5 or so users), …

I wish to control bia logon script the field "description" on my workstations, but I not found an environment variable or something to read that from the dos prompt. How can I do that?

Disabled Domain Controller
by Guest athos_01- 9 replies
- 340 views
I have a DC that I thought was dead for good, so I removed it through asdiedit. Later I find out that because of other network issues that I have, I needed to have that server back up, so was able to resurect it. It re-registered itself in DNS and is serving login requests. But, it shows in Active Directory as disabled as well as there are no NTDS settings. Can this be fixed? If I log into that particular DC, it's Sites and Settings have the the NTDS settings, as it has never received replication from the other servers that it is gone. So, two questions, can I enable the DC machine account somehow? and Is there somehow of repairing the NTDS settings? Than…

Hacker locking my accounts
by Guest just bob- 19 replies
- 549 views
Microsoft wizards please help me as I am desperate. Someone continues to lock all my admin accounts. My firewall is working properly (allowing only port 53) so I think the guy is using one of the 120 PC's or another server on my network to read my user database and identify the admin accounts and send a command to lock them. We've got the latest Symantec antivirus corporate edition installed and updated on all the machines and it's supposed to identify spyware, etc. Why is it so easy for this guy to do this? I have downloaded all the high priority updates for all machines, servers and PC's. We've also used the server lockdown tool. Why doesn't this help?…

Windows Vista/Windows Server 2008: GUI Improvements Required
by Guest Axel Dahmen- 5 replies
- 260 views
Hi, Evaluating Vista/Server 2008 for migration from W2k, W2k3, XP I noticed a couple of drawbacks when using those OSs. I've compiled the problems and put them all into one issue here instead of creating separate issues for all of them. -- 1 -- : Keyboard handling: It's very straining to use Vista/Server 2008 by keyboard. It should by far be better supported, like in the previous Windows versions. Current drawbacks are: -- 1.1 -- : Common Dialog File Open/Save boxes are missing keyboard shortcuts, e.g. for creating new folders (previously <ALT>+<F>-<W>-<F>). -- 1.2 -- : Using Windows Explorer with the keyboard becomes horror: …

Windows 2008 Server, wmiprvse.exe taking up excessive CPU
by Guest Mike M- 1 reply
- 158 views
Win2008 server running in VMWare Workstation 6 with latest VMWare additions installed. Win2008 runs flawlessly in this configuration save for the wmiprvse.exe taking up 8-15% of the CPU. Turning off the Windows Management Instrumentation fixes the problem but is not ideal. Turning the WMI back on seems to "fix" the problem however the services "IP Helper" and "Windows Resource Manager" aren't automatically started when the WMI service is turned back on. Turning the IP Helper service back on has no ill effects on the CPU. But turning the Windows Resource Manager on brings the WMIPrvSe.EXE back to the top of the CPU's most used processes. Would lea…

Windows update makes server unresponsive
by Guest Ron Hinds- 1 reply
- 170 views
Has anyone else seen this? Windows Update will cause IIS, SMTP and POP3 to become unresponsive if there is a pending update (Automatic Updates set to notify only) or during an update (A.U. set to update automatically). Why does MS think that is a good idea? Since I need my web and eMail up all the time, I have to set A.U. to completely off!
