User X can not rotate a thumbnail from our file server on our domain. User X has full control and is the owner of the folder/ file. The administrator account has no problem rotating the image. Message "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". The file is not in use, open or readonly. Help appreciated.

I upgraded Windows Server 2008 x64 gold with the RC0 Hyper-V KB949219. The upgrade went without incident except when I tried to start the previously installed clients. All the clients generated the following error message: "An error occurred while attempting to change the state of the virtual machine "machine name". "machine name" failed to initialize. Failed to read or update VM configuration. This is BAD!

Windows 2008 - Disable the spinning blue circle ?
by Guest Peter Lawton- 0 replies
- 183 views
Strange request but does anyone know if there's a way to disable the small spinning blue circle that's displayed during logon, logoff, startup & shutdown, next to the description of what's happening? It's because I'm running a few servers with lights out management cards and the spinning circle really upsets them Peter Lawton

Offline Files
by Guest -Draino-- 7 replies
- 584 views
Hi all, I am not sure why I would want to use offline files? Scenario is as follows: On my local workstation I have my document folder that I write and change files. On my server I have folder redirection enabled. If I change files on my local workstation they change on the server as well. If my server goes down I still have a local copy on my workstation. If I make any changes while the server is down....so what, they will get copied when the server comes back online.....right??? Am I missing something??

Some of the folders in our file system contain sensitive financial data. The file server is managed by our IT department. How do I restrict the people in Domain Admins group (some of them are from IT Department) from accessing sensitive data? If I remove read permissions to Domain Admins, backup jobs may fail.

Workstatons lose connection to server overnight
by Guest DBCallaghan.SpmOff@googlemail.com- 2 replies
- 275 views
Hi This is a similar problem to others seen here like "Workstations lose connection to server after 10 hours" BUT I can't follow even the first instruction as we don't have a internic approved domain name. Here's our problem: We leave our PCs switched on and logged in overnight. During the night our PCs lose their network connection. On re-booting the PCs login and regain their network connection with no problems and work fine throughout the day. The PCs have all their power saving features disabled and in particular have the power saving features of the network card turned off. All power saving features of the server are also turned off. Some ne…

Running Window's Update on server
by Guest Tomg- 6 replies
- 445 views
We recently had an issue with a .dll file being locked on the server (Win2003) and we are trying to track down the cause. Will a Windows Update that is ran on a server scan all the directories and lock any .dll file? If so, is there a specific type of update that will lock .dll files? Example: Was there items in the March 2008 update that would have locked a .dll file and not in the February 2008 update? Thanks, Tom Greenway

Hi There, I am thinking of turning on folder redirection to point various desktop folders to the server. If people have laptops does it sync the next time they are connected?

scavenging issue (fix addresses being scavenged)
by Guest bisi- 2 replies
- 178 views
Hello, we have our printers configured to do DHCP with fix reservations. DNS- entries are being added manually for each printer since DNS security is activated. We activated scavenging a few weeks ago and now our printers start disappearing in DNS, even if manually added adresses normaly should not get affected by scavenging. When I had a deeper look with dnscmd, I saw that most of the printers have the timestamp set to 01.01.1601, so they should be ignored in scavening. Others have an actual timestamp dating from a few days ago, so they will be deleted in a few days or weeks when records get "obsolete". It seems to me that the time stamps get updated when…

Server Restart - Event 1003
by Guest Ian Zahn- 3 replies

Hi, We have a HP ML350 G3 with Windows 2003 SP2. It is used for WSUS, Print Server, Etrust Admin Server, SQLAnywhere database and some small IIS programs. The server is rebooting sporaticly, not at the smae time each day, not every day but nearly sometimes multi times a day. I think it is driver related but how do I diagnose this? It actually stared probably 6 months ago, but very seldom, now it is daily. I have run the latest HP drivers through it, though not the printer drivers that it hosts. Is there a program like pstat that I can run? I ran this but do not understand output. Here is the system error 1003 Error code 000000d1, parameter1 00000008, p…

Help - administrator locked out!
by Guest Ageing Brilliantine Stick Insect- 12 replies
- 423 views
I have just come back from 6 weeks leave. While I was gone, users at one of our remote branches started getting 'must change password in xx days' messages (they have their own 1-server domain running W2K3). Being users, all they did was to note down the message, and then ring the help desk the day AFTER xx days had expired! Now all their passwords have expired (apart from 2 users who changed theirs in the required time) and they cannot log onto the domain. The really strange thing is that the passwords for the domain administrator appear to have expired also, as well as the 'back-door' account I set up for myself for just such an occurrence. Their server s…

Internet Over a VPN connection
by Guest David- 4 replies
- 230 views
Our customer would like to set all remote clients to access the internet though the VPN. This isn't a problem but one of the requests is that traffic to two specific sites doesn't go over the VPN and goes straight out of their home ADSL connection. I'm sure this cannot be done but just wanted clarification.

DHCP not providing correct DNS all of the time
by Guest Jeremey- 1 reply
- 172 views
Hello, I have a client that is having an issue after demoting old Windows 2000 Server, which prior to putting in a new 2003 server was the FSMO roles holder, that some times when a pc reboots it points to the 2000 server for DNS when the DHCP server on the 2003 DC is set for the DHCP server to give the 2003 IP as the DNS server. The only way around the fix is to flush dns and a release/renew and then it gets the correct IP. When this does happen it shows that it obtained the IP from the 2003 server and not some rogue DHCP server. The goal is to shut down the 2000 server and upgrade some parts so it can be reinstalled as a 2003 server, but until we can …

I have a customer "Mike" that had a mailbox and user setup as MikeW@xyz.com. The user was modified to Mike and I would like to have his Exchange e-mail box to be Mike@xyz.com as well.

Also since the user properties has MikeW I cannot modify it in the distribution list as well. Help please. I am totally lost.

Opening PDFs in Server 2003
by Guest maltman- 1 reply
- 162 views
I don't know if anyone else has experienced this but when my users try and open a PDF from any of our terminal servers, they are not allowed to open it. It pops up with the message for them to save the file. All of our terminal servers are running Windows Server 2003. Has anyone encountered this and know of a way around it? I was told that it has to do with Server 2003 blocking the pdf extension. If this is the case, is there no work around? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Matt
