by Guest Brock Hensley- 0 replies
- 189 views
I am curious as to what exactly this event means. It seems every server I log into that has experienced unexpected shutdowns for one reason or another there is a good chance the following error is logged: ================================= Source: LsaSrv Event ID: 6033 An anonymous session connected from DESTRUCTOR has attempted to open an LSA policy handle on this machine. The attempt was rejected with STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED to prevent leaking security sensitive information to the anonymous caller. The application that made this attempt needs to be fixed. Please contact the application vendor. As a temporary workaround, this security measure can be disab…

A user X on our domain can not rotate a thumbnail from our file server. The user X has full control permission to this file. The owner of the file is user X. The administrator account can successfully rotate. Why can't the user rotate the thumbnail? The message comes up "You cannot rotate this image. The file might be in use or open in another program, or the file or folder might be read-only"

W2K3 WORKGROUP share permissions problem
by Guest dubh@vodafone.ie- 1 reply
- 197 views
I've set up a lab to do some basic testing involving moving shares to AD. On the stand-alone (workgroup) server I've set up some shares with various permissions. The permissions need to satisfy the following criteria: 1. allow only read access to members of certain groups. 2. allow read and write access to members of certain groups. 3. allow full-control to members of certain groups to any files or folders they create within a specified share. Steps 1 and 2 work fine (as they shoud); however, I cannot get a user belonging to the 3rd group to control access etc to any folders he creaes on a share. I've tried every possible combination of Share Permissions an…

Hi I established a new authoritative time server on my network - it is synching with an external source properly Example Previous time server/PDC - DC1 DC2 gets promoted to PDS/authoritative time server DC3 is still looking to DC1 for time even after changing the Windows time service config on the previous PDC emulator Event ID 35 The time service is now synchronizing the system time with the time source dc1.abc.com (ntp.d|192.168.1.37:123->192.168.1.7:123). Any ideas?

Strange printer issue
by Guest Dave- 1 reply
- 209 views
Hello all, We have a Windows Server 2003 print server connected to a Printronix L7032, which is a laser pin feed printer. When a large number of small in size print jobs are sent to it it prints 9 jobs, pauses 13 seconds and then prints the next 9, pauses. This continues until the queue is empty. As a temporary work around we have connected a HP JetDirect between the print server and the printer, with the JetDirect installed the printer behaves as we would expect: printing the entire queue without pausing. Does anyone have an idea on what might be causing this behavior? Thank you very much for any help you can give!!!! Dave Schaeffer

Major help needed
by Guest athos_01- 4 replies

I am the tech person for a small k-12 school. Above average experience, but have gotten myself into a big situation. I have a small domain of windows 2003 servers. One server I have had running for several years, but started flaking out. I removed all of it's roles to another DC, except Global Catalog. I added another machine as GC and just left it that way. Now what has happened is that the original server has had major issues, so far as not even being able to log into it, so I assumed everything was gone, so I took it offline never to be returned. If I couldn't log into it, I couldn't demote it so I tried to go through ASDI Edit and removed the server …

Domain change and orphaned digital signatures
by Guest UrJac- 0 replies
- 176 views
Due to a company merger we have to change our domain; all servers, no exceptions. We have been using the Certificate Authority to create digital signature-enabled authorizations on a huge number of change forms (PDFs) for the past year. Our fear is that there will be no way to prove the authenticity of these signatures after the domain change, as the CA will be under the new domain, essencially a different CA. Any creative ideas on how to prove the authentication after the domain change will be very appreaciated.

Permissions required to manage remote computer
by Guest weaverbeaver- 0 replies
- 177 views
When logging onto a server I am able to access computer management and view the event viwer, services etc. however, if I try to connect to another server from the computer management mmc, the computer management 'tree' is displayed but if I try to access any of the branches such as event viwer or services I get an 'Access Denied' error message. The account is not a domain admin (which does work) . This account worked when the servers were windows 2000. Can anybody please advise on a possible cause for this? Does the account need to be a member of domain admins to do this or maybe another group? any suggestions appreciated Karl

Scheduling Task For Network
by Guest Powlaz- 6 replies
- 460 views
I have been trying to get a scheduled task to run that I made using schtasks for the 40 computers on our network. Here's my problem: If I leave the user info blank (let the task assume the credentials of the person logged in) the task doesn't run - and then I don't know if the computer is logged off (which it will be) if this method would allow the task to run. If I use the System account's credentials the task doesn't run If I use the domain admin account's credentials the task doesn't run. The task sets up and configures exactly as I expect. I will then physically go to one of the computers, log in as the user of that PC and right click and Run the…

setting NTP time source for all domain controllers
by Guest mhowell- 1 reply
- 211 views
If I set my PDC operations master to point to an external NTP server will all domain controllers automatically sync their time with the PDC operations master? Is this automatic because I have domain controllers that point to time.windows.com and their type is NT5DS. If I just leave those settings in the registry for the other domain controllers will it just ignore them and sync their time with the operations master?

RIS and NVIDIA Network Card (Controller)
by Guest Drumgod- 1 reply
- 191 views
All, I have a problem with RIS and the built-in Nvidia nForce Network Controller card. I have a 2003 RIS server that had been working great for a few years. Just recently got new CPUs that require a different RIS image. This is where the fun begins.. I am able to initiate the RIS setup and run the text mode setup of WinXP as normal. RIS detectes my Nvidia network controller at this point and allows the file copy + text mode setup to complete. However, once it goes into the GUI mode setup and attempts to join my domain (via the .SIF answer file) it fails. It Says "Invalid Domain Was Specified, Would you like to proceed for now and try joining t…

Updating to SP2
by Guest Adam Raff- 3 replies
- 311 views
Good Day, We are running Windows 2003 SP1 servers and I am slowly getting ready to upgrade these servers to SP2. After doing a lot of updating to get ready to update firmware and backup software as our current backup software is not supported on SP2 so I had to load .NET 2.0 on the servers to support the new backup software, I came across the read me file that states that if you have installed .Net 2.0 you need to run the update from the windows update site so that it will support the .net 2.0. Is this still true? Are there any other little gotcha that anybody can share Thanks in advance Adam Raff

Admin Pack / Poolmon.exe
by Guest Kelly Armitage- 2 replies
- 266 views
I have a server (Windows Server 2003 Standard) and I am trying to run a tool called "poolmon.exe". However it does not seem to exist natively so I went to install the server 2003 admin pack found at http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=c16ae515-c8f4-47ef-a1e4-a8dcbacff8e3&displaylang=en thinking it might also have that tool. When i go to install that admin pack from the precious link it tells me it can only be installed on XP machines, and Server 2003 machines...... which it is. At this point I am at a bit of a loss as to where this poolmon.exe is supposed to be as well as how to install this admin pack? Any ideas anyone?

Hi All, We recently upgraded a windows 2000 server to Windows 2003 enterprise edition server, it was a fresh installation. We created all the shares which existed and gave permissions, and user started working on it for the last 2 days, yesterday we gave windows update and updated the server using express update, so almost everything got updated. This server is a member server in a AD domain, users are grouped this way. Two groups H1 and H2 were created in "Tai2d/built" OU and all users were placed in respective groups according to their privileges. But from today onwards some users are not able to access some shares. for eg. user1 and user2 are exactly …
