Okay, I made a simple .bat file to map a network drive on logon and put it under the group policy in an OU I made. The script is simply net use z: \\THETEST\FXI When I run the bat file manually from any of the computers it maps the drive just fine. However, when I login the script never maps the drive.

Windows Explorer always crashes
by Guest Jack Spratt- 8 replies
- 544 views
I have 40 users who RDP into Windows Server2003. They are all controlled by a group policy so they have limited access. They do have access to use Windows Explore but shortly after opening it they get an error message that it has failed and needs to close. Any idea if there is a patch out there for this or is there something in the Group Policy I need to work with? When I restart the server I end up getting a large number of prompts asking me if I want to submit each of these incidents to Microsoft. Thanks.

Windows 2003 Standard Server. This is a new Server bought from Dell and do not know where else to look for support. I am trying to set up users and therefore change user passwords. I cannot and get the message "Windows cannot complete the pwrd. Password does not meet the password policy requirements etc." I have checked the policy in domain controller Securtity Settings and they we all not defined. So I have tried by defining and following the rules. Still cannot change a password. Have looked on Microsoft website and downloaded a hotfix and still no luck. Can anybody help? I would think a new install on a new server would not give me this anoun…

by Guest Edward- 8 replies

I have a couple of domain controllers running Windows Server 2003 Standard with SP2 and I'd like to know if it's possible to upgrade them to the Enterprise edition? Basically, I need to do this as IAS on the standard version only supports up to 50 devices and I need to add more devices. Apparently the enterprise version of IAS supports more devices. Thanks!

only part of a ReadProcessMemory or WriteProcessMemory request was completed error on 3 servers. I have 3 servers (DC, Exchange, App Server) all running Windows2k3 Standard. I have about 50 systems running WinXP SP2. Just last week I went to install the client for an application when the client executable file came up with the generic executable icon (the blue/white one) and when I tried to run the application it popped back the error, "only part of a ReadProcessMemory or WriteProcessMemory request was completed". Troubleshooting done so far: 1. tested on various machines- approximately 10. Through network mapped drives the error occurs 2. tested via remote…

Hi We currently have machines (mostly winxp and linux) setup using static ip addresses, manually configured on each computer. We now want to implement DHCP and use reservations for all the PCs. However, we want to use the IP addresses they are already on (we can see these in DNS). What we need is a list of these IP addresses along with machine name and MAC address so that we can put them into the dhcp reservations, either manually or via some sort of import/export utility. Does anyone know an easy way around this ? arp -a seems a bit unreliable and doesn't give us machine name. thanks

How can I give an employee a mailbox without at least making him a user
by Guest OscarVogel- 8 replies
- 495 views
We have a temporary employee starting next Monday. He will need an email account, but it's important that he NOT have access to any of the shares on the servers. My problem is that there are a lot of shares that are accessable to "Everyone". If I make him a "domain user" he'll be in the "Everyone". And I'd rather not "Deny" his account access to each of the shares. So, is there some way that I can give him an email account with a mailbox (Exchange 2003 on a SBS 2003 server), without making him a Domain User? Thanks

Rebooting server causes PC to lose connection
by Guest Net Admin- 8 replies
- 572 views
I have 2 Domain Controllers at my site. Both are Global Catalog Servers, DNS servers, WINS servers, and are version 2003 Standard with SP2. When I reboot either one, some of my servers report errors about not bieng able to connect to other servers in my domain such as the database server. In the IP properties of each member server I have both DNS server IPs entered. Is there a timeout period that has to occur before the member server switches over to another DC to authenticate or resolve names? If so, how to I speed that process up? Thank You

Unable to log into file server
by Guest r. wales- 8 replies
- 532 views
I have a file server that has become unresponsive to ctrl-alt-del. It is functioning normally in all other aspects. I could not connect using remote desktops, but I do not usually log in this way so I am not sure if it is set up to allow it. I came in this morning and hit ctrl-alt-del as usual. The screen saver stopped but the log in window never appeared. How can I get back into this machine? I do not want to have to use the reset button if I can possibly avoid it. Thanks in advance.

Robocopy /MIR question
by Guest Bill Artman- 8 replies
- 433 views
I am using Robocopy GUI 3.1.2.0 with Windows Scheduler to to copy/sync a folder from a client PC to a shared folder on a Microsoft Windows Home Server. The scheduler runs Robocopy every hour. I want to use the /MIR Switch to copy everything from the Client PC folder to the WHS shared folder and when a file changes or is deleted in the Client folder the change will be copied to the WHS shared folder or the file I ill be deleted in the WHS folder. People on other forums have told me that the /MIR switch purges/deletes the entire destination (WHS) folder when a source file change occurs then Robocopy copies the entire source folder to the destination fol…

Recommendations for Server Room KVM Switch?
by Guest Will- 8 replies
- 569 views
Does anyone have recommendations for server room KVM switches that can handle 16 or more Windows boxes at 1600x1200 resolution? The Belkin products for 16 ports are absolutely awful...constantly we have one or two servers that mysteriously stop being controlled by the switch and we have to reboot them. The list of names the Belkin shows on the screen for the systems mysteriously clears itself and you have to spend 10 minutes re establishing that list. This is happening on both older and newer generations of the Belkin product. I also don't want one of the many flimsy IP-based KVM solutions that make a 1600x1200 screen look like a jagged bitmap. …

Hi All, Please could someone help else .... I have a desperate problem with my machine at work when i try to syncronize with folders and files over the network. It can Literally take all night and even a few hours during the day to actually syncronize my PC to the Server connected at a different site. This for me is now approaching desperation and i am seriously considering quitting my job over it. I have a windows XP machine which connects to a Cisco 2950 switch which then connects to a Cisco 800 router - it passes a firewall into the cloud back through the firewall into a F&P server in a different town. I am unsure as to how many hops it passe…

by Guest Jon- 8 replies
- 507 views
I have just finished installing Windows Server 2003 Enterprise R2 on a DL580. I had no problems getting to the internet with the native IE6 installed. I installed SP2 and could no longer get to the internet. I uninstalled the SP and was again able to get to the internet. I installed all of the security updates except for the SP and everything was fine. I installed IE7 and could still get to the internet. I again installed SP2 and cannot get to the internet anymore. I know someone must have experienced this but I cannot find anything on it out on the interent. Any help would be greatly appreciated and thanks - Jon

Can a Server 2003 (5 users license, 4 users) Domain conroller be rolled back into a plain file and print server - this is a very small network and it seems that it is overkill for access to a few documents. also, why would a single workstation (xp pro) be able to login in to the server but "read only" rights. the other 3 stations (xp pro) login fine.

Laptops hang at "loading profile" after login w/ domain account...
by Guest JoshGfromPortland- 8 replies
- 777 views
Issue: Laptops hang at "loading profile" after login w/ domain account when not on the domain. OS: Windows XP SP3 Domain Controller OS: Windows 2003 x64 SP2 Details: Laptops login fine when connected to the domain. Recent Changes to Group Policy: none Recent Software Installations: none Other Recent Changes: I think DHCP and DNS was recently turned off on one of our servers. Possibly also the server role was changed so it is no longer a domain controller. We still have another domain controller running DHCP and DNS. I will try to confirm these changes with the techs and get more details. Also there have been many Windows patches lately. Possibly Relat…

Confused about ASR process
by Guest Guy Kerr- 8 replies
- 540 views
I feel stupid asking this question since I've found no discussions about this and feel that I must be missing something. We're doing an office move and I want to create up-to-date ASR's for each of my servers (all Server 2003). I used Windows Backup and the wizard to generate the ASR. It instructs me to insert the floppy but in no time the floppy is full and I'm asked to insert another. The backup progress indicates that I've got THOUSANDS more files (depends on which server) to backup and based on that screen I'd have to be swapping out floppies all day. Am I doing something wrong here? I expected that the process would simply copy the critical…
