Windows Server 2008 and Fibre Channel
by Guest BobL- 2 replies
- 257 views
Hello, I have a lab environment in which I have Windows Server 2003 R2 and a Qlogic QLA 210 fibre channel card installed and hooked up to an EMC array. Windows Server 2003 sees the LUNs I have created on the Array and presents a drive to the Operating System which I can read and write files to. I have configured another server with Windows Server 2008 and the same Qlogic QLA 210 fibre channel adapter. Although the LUN assigned to this Window Server 2008 adapter is detected, whenever I try to bring the disk online with Disk Manager it states the 'Drive is not ready' I have configured the interface on the EMC array in the same manner as the connecti…

Server on a desktop
by Guest Maurice- 3 replies
- 298 views
Would like to load the majority of the Microsoft Action Pack onto a home desktop [server 2003, Exchange, Sharepoint,etc]. Have a 500Gb SATA drive in a 3Ghz machine which would be dedicated to this project. My questions are as follows: - Is there a way to have Server 2003 running simultaneously and independently of Windows XP then load the remaining applications to the same drive? [i do know about dual-boot] Is there a virtualization 'how to'? This set up would be for a maximum of 10 connecting at any time - Is there such a thing as a 'virtual RAID' using either memory, free space on this intended drive or another drive? Looking for fault tolerance for…

Hello all. Here is the error detail that I am getting. What I did was originally install a Radeon 7000 with TV Out but elected to downgrade the video to an older regular Rage card.

Catastrophic Corruption of Dynamic Disks
by Guest Will- 10 replies
- 379 views
I had a really disappointing event take place today with a critical system that runs Windows 2003 32-bit. Effectively *all* of the dynamic disk structures were corrupted, even though we were not working on them at the time of the reboot. Upon reboot the system gives some brief message about the disk being corrupt, and the Windows 2003 boot sequence never starts. Looking at all of the drives inside the Disk Management utility in Microsoft's ERD Commander Boot CD, the Dynamic volumes show in the state "Offline". A Google search seems to suggest that Dynamic volumes in an offline state normally means the Dynamic volume information is corrupt and ca…

Hi, I have two servers to upgrade. The user base is about 80 people. One is to be a file and print server, the other to be mainly an Exchange (2007 probably) server. Looking at the Dell web site, they offer dual and quad core processors of varying speeds. Dell want to sell me systems based on 2 quad-core processors in each. My questions are these: 1.My instinct tells me that this will be overkill for a File and print server. Will Windows take advantage

Hi, Windows 2003 Server, File and Print and Database, member of a domain. I setup ntbackup to do a nightly job but it continues to fail. I have a few USB external drives that I swap and take off site. I replace these every few days as it is cheaper and more convenient than tape. My problem is the backup job when it is set to automatic it fails saying it cannot locate the media. I have the removeable drive on another server that is running a local backup and works fine. This server is connected to that with a drive mapping. If i go into the backup job, and copy and paste the command line parameters to a command prompt the backup works just fine.…

We have a win 2003 server that uses a mandatory profile for 300 students that share windows XP desktops. I have tried to use the GPO to delete local profiles but that didn't work. I tried using the Registry tweak deleteRoamingCache. But that also did not work. Since The desktops are windows XP, is it possible that the tweak should be applied somewhere else instead of here?

The problem – When offsite I logon to my computer locally then I use a third party remote access provider to VPN into my office, but once connected through the VPN I’m not asked to provide any authentication against the server and therefore I have no access to the resources residing on the server. To work around the problem I have to map a network drive and provide \\server_name.domain_name.com\folder_name, then I’m asked to logon with LAN credentials. First after providing a valid usern_name@domain_name.com and the password I gain access to the server. Is there a way I could force an authentication to the server once that VPN is up and running so I wo…
