How Can I force all client to sync with the PDC? also what si the update interval that the client use to sync with PDC?

suggeston on how to make migrations easier

Hello all Well I am working with a client that I am converting from server 2003 to sbs 2003 r2 because of some of the features which are in SBS and not in server 2003. This got me thinking.. why does Microsoft have this multi version of the same OS and wouldn’t it be easier on everyone if they sold a product which: 1. Came with all the features (Exchange, Sharepoint, SQL Server) which could be installed with 1 user so that a person could learn the products. 2. Allowed for additional users based up the the licenses purchased (1-50 Small biz), (51-x medium), (x-y large). This would allow an organization to grow without having to go thru the issues tha…

I am setting up a Windows Server 2003 machine ONLY to get over the 10 users share limit in XP Pro. I have over 10 users that need to map a drive to this server. 1) Do I need to purchase a license for every simultaneus user mapping to a shared folder (e.g. \\server\data)? a) If so, does it have to be a Domain, or can it just be setup as a Workgroup? 2) Are CALs installed and how is that done? Please list details.... Thanks!

Securing Folder For Remote Desktop Users
by Guest Edward- 1 reply
- 175 views
Hello, I need some help. I'm trying to quickly setup a server that will allow users to login remotely using REmote Desktop connection. I can't use Terminal Services. Within the C drive, I'm want to create a folder for Remote Desktop users. Within that folder I want to creat individual user folders for each user that logs into the server. I want each remote user to be able to access ONLY their user folder and NOTHING else. Sure they should have access to their individual user profile folders under documents and settings, but other than that, they should only browse to the user folder. I don't even want to allow the to browse the c drive. I was thinking o…

Server on domain has greyed out domain login.
by Guest Bromc- 2 replies
- 196 views
Why is it that some of my domain servers (not DC's) only give you the option to login locally and not to the domain (it's greyed out). You can still login to the domain by putting your domain in front of your network id, but still, why does it do this (and how do you fix it)?

Yes I know there are other parms I did not include, but my issue is that the file.log captures all the files being copied. However if there is an error message, it appears on the screen and never stored in the file.log. This was not the case in NT4. Any suggestions

Network Error and an unknown Error Code
by Guest Jonty303- 2 replies
- 228 views
I have a range of servers reporting a large amounts of the following Warning in the event log: "While transmitting or receiving data, the server encountered a network error. Occasional errors are expected but large amounts of these indicate a possible error in your network configuration. The error status code is contained with the returned data and may point you towards the problem." The event ID is 2012, the source is Srv, and the error code (last word contained within the Data) is 0000097a. I have checked the obvious things like drivers, firmware, ip and dns settings. I've rebooted boxes, rebooted switches, taken perfmon readings (nothing unusual…

Script to close open files
by Guest ara- 1 reply
- 166 views
Hi - We are running windows 2000 server. I want to be able to give one of our users the ability to close certain open files on our data (windows 2000) server. And really wondered what the best way to do this would be. I was thinking via a script maybe but I'm unsure of the contents that the script would require to do this. At the moment I close the open files for the user through computer management - shared folders - open files, but obviously I'm not always here to do this. Any help on this would be gratefully received. Cheers

Godaddy Hosting Support Problems

I am posting this here online because I cannot get any straight answers concerning my problems. 1) Description So long and short of it that one folder within the site disappears 'randomly'. Now let me explain. The site has a subdomain http://weddings.stephenkiers.com/ that points to http://www.stephenkiers.com/weddings/. Every once in a while (that I notice at least) the folder starts displaying "The system cannot find the path specified" error. No other details, just that. Then, about 15 min later or so it is back up again and running. 2)Details It only effects the one directory (and its subfiles and subdirectories) http://www.stephenkiers still w…

Windows 2003 Server and Terminal Server Licensing nightmare
by Guest AllenM- 0 replies
- 174 views
I have a few questions regarding legal licensing in a clients environment where we will be installing software and assisting them in setting up terminal and remote services. I'm not 100% sure of all the logistics but I'm going to give all the details as I know. This is new hardware (DELL 2350 64-bit) and Windows 2003 R2 Standard - 64-bit I believe. This will be a terminal server as we will be installing Citrix Presentation Server 4.5 as well as Citrix Web Interface for remote access. So Citrix licensing part is easy. no problem there concerning licensing. Here's where I'm a bit confused as to the proper licensing they need to be legally licensed. Apparently …

HOW TO SEARCH FOR FILES ON WINDOWS 2008
by Guest JJ Jones- 0 replies
- 125 views
Hello out there, I am running Windows 2008 Server. Microsoft has apparently changed the simple SEARCH utility that hangs off of the START button in XP. In other words, in XP you click on START, then click on SEARCH, then FOR FILES OR FOLDERS. Simple as pie. Unfortunately, somebody has apparently come up with a "better idea" in Windows 2008 because SEARCH isn't there anymore, and I can't figure out where they put it. I can't find anything in the documentation. Does anybody know where Microsoft hid the SEARCH function? Please help, since it is driving me stark, raving, mad. Thanks,

Free upgrade to R2?
by Guest rmangaldas@gmail.com- 2 replies
- 197 views
Sorry if this is a dumb question, but it appears from Microsoft's web site that the "R2" in Windows Server R2 consists of free updates released by Microsoft over the years since Windows Server 2003 was released, which makes me wonder, can I upgrade my Windows Server 2003 install to R2 by downloading those updates? Which ones? Thanks.

Hi, Just looking though the domain controller for this office, noticed that in the event viewer i keep getting a "Automatic certificate enrollment for local system failed to enroll for one Domain Controller certificate (0x80070005). Access is denied" each time the GP is refreshed. I scouted about and found out that Certificate Services was not installed on the DC? But is installed on the other DC in the other office. Do i need to install Certificate Services on both domain controllers? or can I ignore this error, or prevent it from occuring? As you can tell, this infrastructure was set up previous to me, and has its fair share of issues. Thanks for yo…

give normal user rights to start/stop a service
by Guest el- 1 reply

Hi all, How can I give normal user right to start/stop a service. This service is control by a program. When a user runs one particular function in the program, the program will stop the service, update a file and then start the service again. As a normal user does not have write right on any service, this function will fail. I believe by giving normal user to have right to start/stop this service, the problem should be gone. TIA el

We have a Windows 2003 DC (also being used as a Terminal Server -ugh) and we have setup an OU for our remote users and linked a GP to that OU that we modify to permit certain functionality. When we use gpupdate/force at a Command Prompt to update the GP, it does not work. If we reboot the Server, the changes to the GP take effect. Does anyone know why this is? Thanks

Need Help Auto Populating a Security Group
by Guest Enrique- 1 reply

For a new application I was asked to create a new Security Group that does not include any Administrators (because we would show up twice and could cause problems). I would like for this Security Group to auto-populate with users so that when a new user is added to the network, they do not have to be manually added to this Security Group. How can I do this? Additional Info: By default, everyone is added to the Domain Users group. Running W2K3 Server Enrique
