Permissions removed from domain controler, how to fix
by Guest ThatsIT.net.au- 8 replies
- 623 views
I have a problem where a windows 2000 domain controller has had its hard disk permissions changed. By default everyone has full access to files on c drive. Someone has changed this believing that it was a security risk. He removed everyone permissions and gave administrators full control, and users read and execute. At next reboot the domain controller would not function, it gives a error I can not remember at the moment, but to do with security and asks you to reboot in directory restore mode. You can not log in and they have forgotten the system restore password or it is not accepting it. My guess is that the system can not access files it needs. Wha…

I've come across an odd issue when trying to publish IAS in AD. I've tried three methods of doing it. 1) Via IAS MMC Snap-In. I receive the error: IAS Error: The task was not completed.

In a corporate computing environment we have two users, userA and userB. UserA has been using its laptop for a long time. He has access permission to \\servername\aaa and has made its content available offline. It works beautifully without problem. Now userA ( a He) bought a new laptop and gives its old one to userB (a She). UserA continues to access its \\servername\aaa folder and files and makes them available offline to him. UserB uses the old laptop under her own Domain user account UserB. She also has access permission to \\servername\bbb folder in the server and is also having a need to make its contents available offline. But when the syste…

Startup Scripts
by Guest Trinity Catholic High School- 8 replies
- 604 views
Hi, I'm using a startup script to copy a folder with a startmenu from a server to a local machine. I've been using robocopy, and its creating the folder structure but not the links. What am I doing wrong? The weird thing is, when I run the script from the command-line when logged in it works correctly, therefore I'm thinking its a permission problem. I tried granting everyone read-only permissions, but it didn't solve the issue. The command I'm using: robocopy /e /zb /copyall /XO \\thssvr01\startmenu$\1015vlaptop c:\startmenu Any ideas, Anyone? Thanks.

SAN Solutions query
by Guest Paul King- 8 replies
- 534 views
Dear all, I have a basic network business setup comprising of five laptops and workstations running either Windows XP and Vista. It is now becoming apparent that storing files on the local machines is dangerous for us and we do not have any backup facility. Thus I have now started to look at SAN/NAS solutions to ensure that we can access all our files in a single location. Furthermore, we need a facility whereby we can VPN into the office and access our files remotely. I have looked at the Seagate Mirra solution and it looks good on paper. The only concern, is that this is not a SAN solution but a synchronisation facility. The only good part is …

LDAP and surfing
by Guest ki4zji- 8 replies
- 603 views
Here's the problem... One of our installations is having what appears to be intermittent problems with internet surfing download speeds. We have replaced the DSL modem and thoroughly tested all the associated LAN hardware. The DSL provider has now responded saying: "I have taken a further look and it seems that your server (LAN IP: 192.168.0.2) seems to be using something called "LDAP" which tries to verify certain information before allowing your PC to bring up that webpage. This LDAP in your server is not recognizing certain pages correctly. I would suggest the following:" The address x.x.x.2 is, in fact, our windows 2003 server, however I fail to see h…

NetBIOS name doesn't work when joining a workstation to domain
by Guest Umma Gumma- 8 replies
- 533 views
I've done a few searches in the past on this and have found the opposite of the problem I'm having: When I attempt to join an XP SP2 workstation to our domain using its NetBIOS name, the process times out and a message comes up. Something to the effect of the domain cannot be located. If I use the FQDN instead, the domain can be contacted and I get prompted for the credentials to join the workstation. This is also a FQDN for a child domain: child.parent.com Not sure if it makes a difference or not but I'm throwing in as many details as possible. If anyone has run into this problem and has found a solution or suggestions, I would greatly appreciate i…

Help with CAL for Win2K3 Server

I have just spent two hours on the phone with M$ bouncing from techs and customer support reps trying to find someone who can help me install this @#$%# 5-user CAL. This used to be easy. I have a properly activated Windows 2003 Server R2, Standard Edition. I ordered a Windows Client Access License for an additional 5 users. I got M$'s white cardboard envelope by UPS that only has a greenish slip of paper in it, no disk media. The paper says it is "genuine" and that it is the CAL I paid for. Cool so far. I go to "Server Management" tool, click "Licensing" and there is an "Add License" wizard link. The form that appears asks me whether to conne…

Monitoring loss of connectivity of printers via PING or SNMP?
by Guest Thee Chicago Wolf- 8 replies
- 355 views
Hey guys, here's the situation. Occasionally, our 4 HP LaserJet 8150s simultaneously throw a 79.00FE error. I have contended for years that this is someone in networking screwing with the network and some change causes the printers to lose connectivity in the middle of a print job and throw errors 79 errors. I have been able to recreate it by simply printing to a printer and pulling out the Ethernet cable in the middle of a print job. They claim no one is doing it. I say it's either faulty hardware or someone is a liar. I am looking for a way to ping or monitor (via SNMP?) the jet direct card and printer. I thought that if I sent a simple PING every 15-30 secon…

Just wondering if this is something for me to be concered about, as it is like it has lost all it's history and started again. My main concern if it pushed ALL updates to the clients then they would all take a few hours to install, and amy interferre with business. TIA Lewej
