Shadow Copy not executing as scheduled
by Guest AParker83- 7 replies
- 274 views
Hello, We are having problems with our Shadow Copy service running as scheduled. Shadow Copy is configured to run every morning at 3am. The "Next Run Time" column indicates that it is scheduled, but when that time passes, the copy does not appear, and the "Next Run Time" increments to the next day. This problem started happening after we ran low on disk space on our OS partition. Shadow Copy actually quit running because of the lack of disk space. That has since been corrected, but this problem has popped up since. We've tried disabling Shadow Copies, then reenabling, and that does not help either. We're really at a loss here. Any suggest…

Defragmenting hard drives on Windows Server 2003/SQL Server
by Guest Zaur Bahramov- 3 replies

Hi! I've noticed that in the company where I've recently started to work in servers hard drives where never defragmented. Servers (windows 2003) are mounted on Vmware ESX Servers. I've tried to defragment hard drives using the windows defragmenter, but on some server, especially with huge files (over 100 Gb database files on partitions with about 200 Gb) some files where not defragmented. So, I'm now considering purchasing a third-party defragmenting utility for doing this. Does it worth investment or most would use the standard defragmenter? I like Diskeeper, besides, native windows defragmenter is a reduced part of Diskeeper. Does it worth inves…

Empty Roaming Profiles
by Guest John Holt- 7 replies
- 284 views
Windows 2008. When users logon with RDP they always get the message that their profile did not load and that no changes they make will be saved. If I delete the profile and login to create it, I get the users profile folder created, but it's empty. I checked the security on the folder. Just the System, Administrator and the user have full control. Anyone have any idea why it's coming up empty? Is there some security/permission that I'm missing??? John

Hi there, I had problem connecting to my SBS2003 desktop using RWW. My SBS2003 (no ISA) has two nics, the ext_nic 192.168.1.52 connects to Netgear modem router, the int_nic 192.168.0.108 to the internal network. I open port 4125 in my router. However, I still cannot connect to my server desktop from any computer (remote computer, a workstation in the internal network, or even from the server using https://static_ip/remote, or https://192.168.1.52/remote. I tried http instead of https on an internal workstation and still doesn't work. I tried netstat -aon |find ".4125" and nothing returned. Can anyone tell me what's wrong? Daniel

policy question
by Guest Tester- 1 reply

Hello there, How can I check if there is a policy that removes the local admin privileges of the AD user that logs on to the AD domain? Some users might need local admin privileges for some applications to work properly. Also, can I enable some local computer policy on the user XP machine to override the above? I have an AD domain with multiple sites and OUs. Thanks, T

Can KB939928 be applied to R2-servers?
by Guest PN- 4 replies
- 219 views
Hello! On our "2003 R2 x86 SP2"-DHCP-servers we have a problem with tcpsvcs.exe eating private bytes and found useful information in article 939928, http://support.microsoft.com/kb/939928. On our request for this hotfix we were adviced to use it even if we stated that we have R2. R2 is not mentioned in the articles "Applies To"-section and later we also found that the current version of dnsapi.dll is newer than the one supplied in the hotfix. Could this cause a problem? Current version: 5.2.3790.4238 Hotfix version: 5.2.3790.4116 Sincerely Peter Nilsson LTHALLAND

When using My Documents folder redirection to Users Home Directory on a Server 2003 R2 SP2 file server with disk quotas, items deleted from the user's My Documents folder are stored in the Recycler folder. This is causing a huge amount of content in those Recycler folders being counted toward users' disk quotas--which is unacceptable even if the default size is set to 1% since the file server volume is over 400GB. We know from experience that our users will not be disciplined enough to empty their recycle bins. Since we use VSS to provide previous versions of files, we may decide to use Group Policy to prevent deleted items from being sent to the Recycle …

CMOS (non-volatile harware) clock sycronisation
by Guest Brian McCauley- 3 replies
- 191 views
I have a number of Windows member servers in an AD forrest and in steady state w32time keeps there clocks approximately right (+-200ms). However when they are rebooted their clocks are (for a short time) all over the place (for 10-30 minutes) because, it would appear, that nothng is keeping the CMOS (non-volatile harware) clock in sycronisation with the Windows clock. On Linux I'd just create a cron job to do "clock -uw" periodically but I can't find any equivalent on Windows. Please note: I'm asking how to get Windows to keep the *CMOS* clock synced so that when servers are rebooted their clocks start out *approximately* right *before* w32time manages…

Entire Network missing machines?
by Guest Troy Bruder- 2 replies
- 186 views
Hello, Ok, probably a dumb question but i'll ask anyway. I have a small network, consisting of 4 subnets. In each subnet, there is a local Windows 2003 DNS/Wins/DHCP server. Clients in each site are configured via DHCP to point to the local DNS/WINS resolvers. The DNS/WINS servers are all DC's. DNS is replicated and so is WINS. DNS via AD replication and WINS via a hub/spoke replication partner setup. In each site, if I browse My Network Places | Entire Network, I only see machines local to that subnet instead of ALL machines on the network. What the heck am I missing!? Troy
