A simple one...?
by Guest Jake- 9 replies

Hi, We have two domains, DomainA.local and DomainB.local on different w2003r2 domain controllers and separated subnets. When I take a workstation which is a member of DomainA.local and connect it to DomainB.local and try to login with a_valid_username@DomainB.local it complains that the domain (DomainB.local) is not available. It thought that a computer account would be created the first time this workstation logs in to DomainB.local and its user should get access according to the DomainB.local user account used. What am I missing in this scenario? jake

Making domain users local admins
by Guest Laphan- 9 replies
- 635 views
Hi All I had a problem whereby the teachers couldn't use their home internet on their 'domain-linked' laptops because of the limited access that they get. Didn't want to make them part of the domain admins groups so somebody suggested that I add the domain users group (which they are part of) to the laptop's local admins (ie via Computer Management / Users&Groups/ Groups/ Admins. Is this OK to do? They seem to be able to get to the TCP/IP bit now, but what other 'doors' have I opened to the blessed teachers by doing this? Can they install/uninstall software now??? Thanks Laphan

How much RAM Windows 2003 Server Standard Edition can use ?
by Guest Peter- 9 replies
- 676 views
Hi, If we have 3GB of RAM in a Windows 2003 Server, we would like to know would it be possible for us to make use all of them or we have to add switches like /3G in the Boot.ini ? If it is the truth, we have to add this switch in some of our servers. This is because a fellow has mentioned that by default, Kernel and Operating System uses 2GB of that XGB of RAM. Regards, Peter

Security Log Question & Hotfix?
by Guest Daniel P. Cayea- 9 replies
- 574 views
I have this peculiar problem with my security log on my domain controller. I've set up my security log to overwrite events as needed, but the size is large enough that it will not overwrite events unless they are like two weeks plus old. Problem is, every time I log onto my server I get the "Security Log is full" message. I go into the event viewer and change the atributes of the log, and it gets set back to "Do not overwrite". I remember a while back there was a hotfix to fix this, can anyone remember it or help me with this issue? Thanks Dan

is there anything other then Remote Assistance for remote assistance...
by Guest Kelvin Beaton- 9 replies
- 637 views
I spent a short stint a year or so ago working in a Help Desk environemnt. On that network they had some Netware server and there was a software package that we used to remotely access the user PC... I think we entered the user account name, the got a popup that asked if we agreed to give them access to their system and likely asked what level of access to give us. The product might have been or had something to do with ZenWorks... I suspect there was an agent installed on both machines... Is there a Micrsoft equivilent? It seems like Remote Assistance has too many hoops to go through... Thanks Kelvin

Hi All… I am running a production Windows Server 2003 SP2 on C:\ with Exchange 2003 installed on E:\ when the E:\ drive was full in the morning and has 0 bytes free space! I tried to free and delete or move some files but they appear shortly after I do that again and no changes in the size appeared. After restarting the sever, I start to get this error: E:\ is not accessible. There is not enough space on the disk. Also the Exchange services and some other service couldn’t start. This drive E:\ has all the Information Store and the files!!! Any idea how to resolve this? Thanks -- Aws awsok@yahoo.com

Hard drive - How do i clean up the C drive
by Guest MSExchange2003Student- 9 replies
- 762 views
Hi all I have 3 three partitions on my exchange server. Exc2003 SP2 and Win Ser2003. The C drive was only made 11GB when the servers was setup but the D and E drive is 55GB and 200GB respectively. The freen space on C cramped from 3.41G to 2.59GB in 2 weeks time. How can i stop this as i heard terrible stories when C run out of disk space. The C\windows shows Size 7,13GB and Size on Disk 5,60GB (whats the difference?). Any way that i can get this folder smaller? Any way that i can take some of the space of the bigger drives and add it to the smaller one. They did build RAID 5 into the servers. Will this technology cater for this type of scenatio or m…

Question about setup /PrepareSchema - Preparing the Active Directo
by Guest dean.carrefour- 9 replies
- 593 views
I'm trying to install the Exchange Server 2007 SP1. The docs say to prep the active directory prior to installation. I'm following this article for the ad prep: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb125224.aspx When I get to step #2 and run setup /ps from a command prompt, I get a small dialog from 'Windows Setup' that pops up and says "Please go to the Control Panel to install and configure system components." with only an OK button on it. Is that normal? If not, what am i doing wrong. I am just starting this process (SP1 install) and this is the very first step I've performed.

W2k3 - clearing space in C:\
by Guest Newell White- 9 replies
- 435 views
Can I safely remove any of the following (after backing up to D:\): C:\WINDOWS\ServicePackFiles (689Mbyte) C:\WINDOWS\DriverCache (114Mbyte) Also, I note that the .mdb file in C:WINDOWS\ntfrs\jet is 200Mbyte. Can this database be reinitialised? Cant believe we need this much history in an isolated .local domain with 2 servers and 40 workstations, which does not use DFS for data file shares. -- Regards, Newell White

Cannot change target folder location for My Documents
by Guest LincolnIT- 8 replies
- 548 views
We moved our data from a Win2k server DC to a another server running Win2k3 and noticed that the target folder location for the My Documents folder is still has the UNC path to the original server and can't be changed. We've looked for any GPO's that could cause this but none are configured. Any ideas on where/how to change this would be helpful. thanks

NTBackup / Tape Label problems
by Guest Gnubman- 8 replies
- 365 views
Greetings, I am having problems running backups on an HP StorageWorks 1/8 Autoloader. The backup fails when it tries to load the tape. We are running Server 2003 sp1. We have a copy of Backup Exec v8 that is installed. This version of BackupExec does not support our Autoloader. I have tried to uninstall BackupExec but it fails with a "uninst.iso is corrupted or not valid" error. When I put a new tape into the Autoloader and try to run a test backup, it recognizes that it is a new tape and tries to use it. After this part I watched the tape drive load and unload the tape several times before ntbackup started complaining about the wait time. E…

"workgroup" server Win2003 sbs?
by Guest bill allemann- 8 replies
- 546 views
I think earlier versions had an option to config as workgroup or domain server. Is there any way to make win2003 act as workgroup server? It didn't seem like there was any choice during setup for other than domain server. It created a new domain on the LAN, and the existing PC's were in a named workgroup, which shows up separately when browsing the local network. I'm dealing with a small LAN with a few PC's, one of which is XP Home, and it doesn't appear that I can make it a client computer on the new server.

NTFS Permissions - effective
by Guest JohnB- 8 replies
- 598 views
Isn't the "effective" permissions the most restrictive combination, calculated from group or individual permissions that apply? I just checked the effective permissions (setup by someone else) of a folder that contains confidential information, and everything is checked off except Change, Full Control and Take Ownership. I did this with random users that should only have Read permissions. There are 2 groups assigned permissions on this folder; one group - Users - is granted everything but Full Control, the other is group - Authenticated Users - is granted Read & Execute, List and Read. And I would have thought those combined permissions would have…

Windows server 2008 - What theres no tape backup!
by Guest w-cubed- 8 replies
- 549 views
Yes what a shock I sold a new Windpows Server 2008 with a tape unit in it. Only to find no NTBACKUP and the new Backup product just does not do Tape. I have not been seeing this huge change in any press releases I have hunted around and I cannot find an affordable or practical replacement for the LTO4 tape backup unit. What else streams at 120MB/s and stores 1.6TB of data? It needs to be at under $200 a unit and I need at least 30 backup devices to support the backup program policy in place. I am for the first time in 28 years in the computer industry having to source a third party backup tool to backup a server. This is wrong very wrong! I h…

Multiple Domain setup in Server 2003

Hey everyone, Just a quick question. Is it possible to have multiple domains configured on 1 computer? Specifically we want to have a new domain and exchange email services installed on a computer already running an exisiting domain/exchange server. Does anyone have a link for a walk thru or is the process the same as setting up the original? Also can we use the same Static IP for the 2nd domain/exchange server? Thanks in advance! -Scott
