Full NTBackup Monday and incremental rest of week
by Guest Jake- 2 replies
- 250 views
Hi, I assume that NTBackup is ok and rugged enough (since it has been around for ages) to restore backed up drives and system state correctly to new drives? We want to use NTBackup to make a new full backup on Sundays and for the consequtive workdays of the week, make smaller incremental backup files which can be combined into the full backup file if a restore is needed. - Or, will the incremental backup data always have to be copied into/onto the huge full-backup file..? What would NTBackup's command line look like if we want a FULL backup to be taken on Sunday: Backup source: C:\ E:\ <system state> Backup Target: K:\Sunday-fullbacku…

Folks, we have a situation where if we run Windows 2003, Windows 2000 or Windows XP workstations as Virtual Machines, then power them off for over 30 days the machines then become unusable. What appears to be happening is that the machines are loosing their trust with the domain that they are members of. Is there any way that we can increase the time that a machine can be powered off before it looses its trust?

Hi, I have the following problem: I use https://my-iis-server.domain.com/virtualdirectory to access files securely from anywhere. I have directory browsing enabled on my virtualdirectory and when accessing the v-dir I can see all files. I have *.dat and *.txt files in that dir. If I download (right-click, save as) or just click on any *.txt file, it opens as expected. Doing the same for *.dat it gives me error 404 - The page cannot be found. Renaming the *.dat file to *.txt and retrying https access it worksfine. Similar for ISO files. Renaming to ZIP I can then successfully access it. I found an article about IISLockdown and/or WebExtensions but I…

by Guest Andrew Hodgson- 9 replies
- 553 views
Hi, I have an account which is in the users and IIS_WPG group. I would like this account to run a batch file every hour, however, when I schedule the script to run when I am logged in as an account with administrator privileges to run under that user, and when I start the job, it fails. I can see from the audit log that the user is being logged in and out, but it doesn't start. I attempted to run the scheduler logged in as the account I wanted the script to run under, however, it does not give me access. So my question is: What are the minimum permissions I need to grant in order to let this script run as a scheduled job under the limited account? Tha…

Hi all. Hope you can help me. Our network guy flew the coop. I've been assigned the job of picking up where he left off. Yay! We have two workstations that are linked to a WinServer2003. Both workstations are on the same domain as the server and can access files on the server. We have a Canon C3200 network printer. One workstation can print to the printer no problem. The other can't. I checked and the printer driver was not installed on the server. So I downloaded and installed the most recent driver onto the server. No luck printing from the server. Researched. Found ip address of printer. Can ping printer from server no prob. Un-installed printer f…

I am migrating from a 5 year old server 2003 x86 server to new server 2003 x64 server. I am running in to a problem loading the print drivers. The client machines are all xp pro x86 machines. I've tried installing the x 64 version of the print drivers as well as the x86 version. None of them will install. They either tell me that this is the wrong hardware platform or that the driver needs to be installed from a remote machine. Any help will be appreciated Thanks,

Roaming profiles load slowly
by Guest joeB545- 2 replies
- 259 views
I am using Win Server 2003 and WinXP SP 2 in a very small domain. There is one server and three workstations. All updates are current. When I have roaming profiles active, it takes more than five minutes for to log on and off. When inactive, the process takes about 15 seconds. An examination of my profile on the client machine shows that the profile is about 3G in size. Half of that is an Outlook .pst file. Why does the log on/off process take so long and what can I do to speed it up? -- joe B

Hello, I'm using Schtasks to create a scheduled task on a remote server using the SYSTEM account to run it. After I create the scheduled task, remote into the server, I try and run it and it comes back with status of "Could not start". When I view the log, it says "The system cannot find the file specified.". The really frustrating problem is I can open the scheduled task, copy the path and paste it into the run command and it will launch my executable. So the path IS correct! If I delete the task and create it manually, browsing to the same executable, it will run just fine! So it seems to be something with creating it with Schtasks. Here is my co…

I'm running a pretty new xeon server with Sever 2003 and all service packs. I've got this on-going problem with the security log. It keeps filling and stopping the server. I've reduced the number of items that it logs, I've incresed the maximum log size, and I've selected 'Overwrite events as needed' but every time I check the security log properties it has reset to 'Overwrite events older than 7 days' and it stopps server operations. Why is this happening? How can I get the machine to keep the settings?
