Server Freezing Up
by Guest cypherus- 0 replies
- 181 views
Hey all, For a couple months now our Windows Server 2003 R2 SP2 has been freezing up and we couldn't figure out why. We have a Dell PowerEdge 2900 and contacted Dell for assistance. The informed us that we has too little RAM with only 4GB and 3.5GB being taken up by various services (MSSQL Server 2005, MS Exchange Server 2003, etc) so we got new memory. Things we ok for a couple weeks and then the same freeze- up again. It turned out we had the wrong amount of memory for configuration. They require that we have 2, 4, or 8 sticks in at a time (we have space for 12) so instead of the 2 4GB stick and 4 1GB sticks, we yanked 2 of the 1GB sticks and that left …

TCP/IP NetBIOS Helper, WINS Tab, Netbt.sys
by Guest UselessUser- 3 replies
- 303 views
Hi all, I am trying to work out exactly what each of these items do in terms of networking?! I have discovered that if I disable the netbios entries under the wins tab of my network card, my computer stops listening on UDP 137, 138 and TCP 139... so I assume the effect of this, it that my machine is technically unavailable for wins elections, and SMB over 139 (legacy clients)?? The TCP/IP NetBIOS helper seems to be an odd one, because the moment I disable it, I cannot use UNC shares etc nor join a domain using a FQDN - why is this exactly?? Do these things I am trying to do rely on NetBIOS in some way, or is that without this service running, the re…

Hello, We currently have a Windows Server 2003 Enterprise server with VMware Server installed and three virtual machines of Windows Server 2003 Standard. I am considering migrating to Virtual Server 2005 to replace VMware. Is it possible to install Virtual Server 2005 on this same server and migrate one at a time? Mainly I am curious if there is any compatibility issues by using two different virtualization technologies simultaneously. Also, I was able to do this in a test environment, but I mainly ask because I am planning on doing this shortly in the live environment and would like confirmation that this works. Thank you!

HELP PLEASE! HTTP 404 error, cannot access website anymore.

I had a wesbite serving up an online curriculum program, and have been hosting additional content in the web folder of the site located on this server. Well, I got a little bored and tried to host an Access database with a data access page in the same folder, but when I got the "Internet Server Error: Object/Module Not Found", I did a little research on MS website, and screwed with the Execute Permissions settings on the Home Directory tab in IIS. It did not fix my database problem, and now I cannot even access my site. I went back to undo what I did, and the settings I had previously changed, appeared as though I had not changed them, however the website …

Files corrupted / will not open
by Guest Tom R- 4 replies
- 338 views
All of a sudden today one of our 2003 servers has a problem. When trying to open documents (Word and Excel), it prompts to do a file conversion. Wants to know what "Encoding" to use to make the document readable. It appears all across this server, but does not appear to be a problem on other servers I checked. I have started a full backup (probably too late), and plan to run scandisk after the backup completes. Any ideas?

Hi all. I have a small office with a few domain client PCs. The DCs are housed in my main office. The small office is located in another location away from the main office and both offices are connected using a lease line. We are using a firewall to restrict traffic coming from the small office into the main office. Hence i would like to know what port should i open to allow the domain PCs in the small office to be able to authenticate to the DC upon logon. Thks in advance.

Server 2003 - Limiting jobs sent to Print Spooler?
by Guest daniel_l_v- 0 replies
- 185 views
Hi All, At work we utilise a Windows Server 2003 Print Server. We have recently had issues whereby customers have unwittingly sent huge (200+MB) jobs to printers, causing slowdown on the Print Server. Is there any way to limit the size of individual print jobs that are sent to the Print Server? Is there a way of stopping such jobs before they even reach the Print Server? Note it would be preferable to accomplish this within Microsoft's own environment and tools, rather than resorting to 3rd Party, but any ideas appreciated. Regards, Daniel V

SNMP request not working
by Guest seanmig- 0 replies
- 204 views
Hi, We are using Dell IT assistant application to monitor or Dell servers with Windows 2003 installed via SNMP. Dell IT assistant can detect and monitor all Dell servers in our networks except for one Windows 2003 SP1 server. SNMP service is starting on that server. Restarting SNMP service and the server itself won't work. SNMP configuration on that server is exactly the same as the others so that shouldn't be the problem. Very unlikely that the problem is with Dell IT assistant since all other server can be detected. Any suggestion on how to fix this problem. I prefer not to install/reinstall SNMP yet. I would rather just replaced the SNMP …

PC Server File/Folders display as truncated on MAC
by Guest Geoffrey Starr- 3 replies
- 310 views
My team uses a file storage "server", at another physical location on our network, and when we save files to it from our PC's every thing is ok. However when our Mac's vew the files on the "server" the names appear truncated to six characters and a ~ plus the file extention. It show up only on the MAC side of things so i was hoping there was a way to make the names appear on the Macs the same way as they do for the PC's.

Server will not shutdown or log off
by Guest Glenn Hayes- 2 replies

W2k3 R2 sp2 will not respond to a log off or shutdown command. Nothing unusual logged in the event log. Removed APC UPS software to eliminate that possiblity. Can't seem to find anything that is not right but it is slow to respond and no response on shutdown, restart or logoff. Server is a Dell 2850 Dual proc server. -- Glenn Hayes
