Hi all I have some sata cages installed in my w2k3 server to use for backups. What I need to do is create a couple of scripts that I can schedule to dismount and remount a drive. This way the staff can just swap the drives without worrying about logging on and stopping them as the card for the drives is not hot swap Can anyone point me in the right direction as I don't have a clue where to start Cheers Glenn

I am having problems with GPO's in general. Firstly i am having issues with gpupdate taking an age to fail - I have found fixes for this, i am waiting no microsoft sending me a hotfix but another problem i have found is: I have some GPo's which can only be applied for a group of either computer or uses. In the AD for Computer Users i can add to this group - no problems I then added this group as the only group that can access it in the GPO scope in the security filtering. once confirmed, i double click the group and i get 'the requested lookup key was not found in any active activation context' I know this is a IE7 issue, i have/had IE7 on my PC…

I have a (non-pro) virtual server as a Guest of my Win2003 R2 but my VPN server can't connect to the internet nor can I connect to it from my labtop or my host. I have two NIC's for VPN: 1) for the VPN using the Internal NIC, 2) connect to the VPN Server, should I be able to connect to the internet. Windows Firwall isn't active for this NIC, I'm using Active Armor from nVidia, but even when I disable it I still can't connect either way. I use the IP assigned to the NIC "192.168.0.100", I getting the Error 800.

I am not sure if I am in the right group. If not, please point me to the correct group and accept my apology for the intrusion. I am getting a report from WindowsServer2003 that there are some 90 .spl and .shd files not backing up.

Large Disk Layout, Best Practices
by Guest Brian McGrew- 0 replies
- 192 views
Good morning All! I've got a brand new server with a RAID 5 controller in it and 6x750GB drives. The box is going to run Win2K3 and be solely a data server and also host Services for Unix. What is the best way to lay out the hard drives and should I do it in hardware or software? Right now the hardware has all six drives in a single RAID 5 array totally up to about 3.75TB of space. I nstalled a copy of Win2K3 Enterprise but it only sees the first 1.75TB of space and the remaining 2TB is unusable and also, I can not covert it to a dynamic disk. Am I taking the totally the wrong approach to this or did I just do something wrong? Or, do I need to g…

Service Pack Question for DC's
by Guest Christian- 1 reply
- 207 views
Hi, I had posted this question earlier, but I'm not sure I got the answer to the core question I had asked. I have a single domain controller running right now at Windows Server 2003 SP1. I have a second server running at Windows Server 2003 SP2 that is ready to be promoted. What issues/problems may show up if I promote this server running SP2 while the other server is still at SP1? Is it best practice to apply SP2 to the first server before promoting the second? Or, should I downgrade the second server to SP1 and then run DCPROMO? Thank you for your time, -Chris

Optical fiber (O.T.?)
by Guest rosgiof@hotmail.it- 4 replies
- 392 views
Hi all. I'm very sorry for the O.T., but I really don't know where to post my question. Is it a good idea to connect two ethernet 100Mbits LANs of two separated buidings (distance about 60 meters) with an underground optical fiber cable connected to 2 switches (1 each building) each with a fiber-module ? I mean, is it safe for the risk of lightnings, electric potential differences between buildings and other electric or electic-magnetic problems that could fry or damage my LANs ? Thanks a lot for the help, and excuse me for my bad english.... Bye bye, Rosgiof.

How to stop the ruddy screen rotation!
by Guest Laphan- 4 replies
- 342 views
Hi All Kids, bloody kids! Is there any option in GPO that will specifically stop users from rotating the XP screen other than normal? I currently set AD pupil accounts so that they can't right-click to bring up the context menu and do the rotation from here, but somehow the kids are getting past this and rotating the bloody screens. How are they doing it? I thought the right-click/graphic options/rotation method was the only way??? Thanks

WSUS 3.0
by Guest lir- 1 reply
- 206 views
Hi everyone, I have just installed WSUS 3.0 in an stand alone server. I configured the group policy for WSUS pointing to http://servername. The GPO is linked to two different OUs. One of them only have a Windows XP computer. The other has a Windows Server 2003. The Windows XP is not able to see the WSUS's policy. When I run a gpresult, the report only shows the Default Group Policy, not the WSUS policy like the Windows Server 2003 computer shows. So the policy is working, but not for XP client. What should I check? Thank in advanced Best regards
