Server Console login
by Guest Ray234- 0 replies
- 141 views
I have a Server 2003 server that is running Exchange 2003. Several times over the past few months it has locked the console login, so I can't get response when using CTRL+ALT+DEL. I can RDP in and all is running fine, but when I try CTRL+ALT+DEL at the console, it won't respond. When I use mstsc /console, it allows me to enter the login information, but then goes to the same blank screen as at the console itself. Since this is on a KVM, I setup USB mouse and keyboard, but CTRL+ALT+DEL still didn't work. The mouse moves around the screen fine. It is running Symantec for Exchange, Symantec (with the proper exceptions), and the Blackberry Enterprise s…

New Windows 2003 R2 x64 server, Quad core proc, 12gigs ram, dual HBA fiber attached SAN storage. 3 SAN data volumes (2 - data volumes and 1 for user folders, mapped to look like one share). Server will suddenly seem to stop responding, sort of. Very slow browsing of the mapped drive. Server is still responding, and RDP to it, and open both data drives, but cannot open the use folder volume. No errors are generated. Very little to no disk activity in perf mon. There are no errors on the server, and no errors in the SAN storage system (which is also brand new). We have a duplicated system (same server and SAN system) as we were planning for an offsi…

Hi, I would like to make my Windows Server 2008 Enterprise create a terminal session when booted up: I've got some daemons that I want to make start at boot, but I need also the GUI available and launching them as jobs doesn't allow me to get to the GUI.

Move 2003 file server to new domain
by Guest Nic Hanekom- 0 replies
- 136 views
Hi We are in the process of a NT4 to 2003 migration. We are running a NT4 DC on domain X and a 2003 DC on domain Y in mixed mode. All out file servers are already on 2003. All users and groups have been migrated with ADMT from domains X to Y and all workstations have joined the new domain Y. Because of all the SID history being migrated with ADMT, all users on the new domain Y can still access the files and shares on the file servers on old domain X. Now we want to move these 2003 file servers to the new domain Y. How can we do this in way so all file and share permissions will automatically be changed as well? At the moment all shares and files on the …

Server 2003 network directory access
by Guest Hybrid- 6 replies

I 've had many issues with a server over the past couple of days. The server is running Windows 2003 Enterprise and handles our backup-to-disk operations. Over the weekend, a memory module failed and the server restarted. When we booted back up on Monday, there was corrupt data that was saved to the hard drive. The first thing we did was test to ensure that there was no issues with the hard disk and after verifying it was the memory, we removed the bad module and began to repair the problems. There were a couple of corrupt OS files keeping the server from booting so we recovered those in the recovery console and it booted into windows fine. The next…

NTBackup Hangs at Shadow Copy

Having a real real nightmare with this now. My backups just wont run on my Windows 2003 R2 SP2 server. I go to create a normal backup using the wizard on NTBackup, then when I set it to run it just hangs on "Preparing Shadow Copy", hangs the NTBackup app, cranks the processor to 50% and thats it. I had a real issue the other day when 5 backup schedules all did this during a day and ramped the processor to 100% for hours. I've tried searching the net for solutions to this but its hard due to the nature of the error. Logs are empty in the backup logs, Event Viewer shows the Backup "Begin" event then nothing. Scheduled task viewer hasn't had errors in …

HP ProLiant Opteron 1210 or Xeon 3040
by Guest Kappa- 0 replies
- 142 views
I'm stuck between buying HP ProLiant ML 115 Opteron 1210 @ 1.8 GHz and HP ProLiant ML 110 G4 Xeon 3040 1.86 GHz. All the rest of the specs are the same. Difference of price is about £10. But according to HP UK's website Xeon 3040 is discontinued. But my question is which processor is better? I have started MCSE, so I'll be using it for my home lab/server. PS. I've searched through the forum, only bechmark I found was between Xeon 5000 vs Opteron 200 series. Here Xeon out performed but not when it comes to power consumption. Thanks in advance.

Gurus, You know when you install a third-party application which need a domain-level service account to run, and you install the service and then during or after the installation when you tell the service who to log on as, a dialog box pops up and says "XXX service has been given the following rights: ..." I forgot what those rights were. Aren't they: Logon as a service Logon as a batch job Act as part of the operating system? -- Spin

Hi, I am just wondering. I noticed App Data was getting too large for indivdual profiles and so decided to keep all profiles to access a single App Data so it could be administered easy and so I could 'add' settings for applications easily. But something wierd is going on. Programs such as Microsoft Outlook or Microsoft Word are retaining user's custom settings. This is perfect, as I wanted users to have this freedom. I just do not understand. For Example: In Outlook, all profiles have been set to acquire and save e-mail to U:\Email\folders.pst. However, the account settings have not. I always imagined this was saved in App Data or Local Settings, h…

New network on different site - same or seperate domain?
by Guest Fox1977- 2 replies
- 182 views
Hi there, Just wondering if anyone could offer any advice on this issue. I am in the process of setting up a new network domain in a new colo data centre. The plan is to setup about 4 new servers and eventually joing them upto our existing win 2003 domain running in another datacentre using a metro ethernet connection between the two. I was thinking of setting up the new solution as a new domain and once it was up and running properly then join it to the other domain. Is this possible? What is the best way to set this up? Any tips and suggestions gratefully received. Thanks in advance

Dear All Here's the background, Windows 2000 Server running AD, added a W2K server to the domain, all well, applied service packs hot fixes etc. Then made the W2K server into a domain controller (no problems with adprep), everything working perfectly except for an annoying security event being logged every so often.

Memory Leak
by Guest Jeff- 3 replies
- 203 views
I'm having a problem where every few weeks or so, my server gets hosed. All of the sudden it stops accepting network connections. Usually a reboot does the trick. We also notice that an error is always written to the event log whenever this occurs. The errror is "The server was unable to allocate from the system nonpaged pool because the pool was empty." After doing some research on the error, we figured that the problem was a memory leak. We have been running pool monitor for the last week. The tag called STRG has climbed all week. It is now at about 120mb. I guess this is our culprit - however what is STRG?

Windows 2008 and WebDAV Mini Redirector
by Guest Fabian- 3 replies
- 213 views
I can't use WebDAV webfolders with my Windows 2008 Terminal server. As I understand, Windows 2008 and Windows Vista share the same codebase. So I thought it shouldn't be too hard to make it work with Windows 2008. I searched for the driver that Windows Vista uses "mrxdav.sys" and it exists in some subfolder of Windows\winsxs. But it seems that it is not installed. Is there a way to make the WebDAV Mini Redirector work with Windows 2008? And if so, would that be supported by Microsoft? Greetings, Fabian
