Server (domain) migration
by Guest Smith- 3 replies
- 314 views
I have test environment based on Windows Server 2003 and there are two AD servers. My knowledge for Win2008 is limited, so for new test I'd like to migrate second AD to new machine which will be Server 2008 and then move first AD also to a Server 2008 (probably move roles etc...). What do you recommend for this scenario?

VSS snaps filling my drive
by Guest Phil McNeill- 2 replies

Hi, Just got a warning from my monitoring software that my 400GB database drive with around 100GB of Exchange information store is 75% full. I've seen this before, so went looking at the System Volume Information folder (after changing permissions to allow me access to it) to discover that it had accumulated 200GB worth of snapshots over the past 2 months. Every day when Veritas BE 9.1 (yes, we're upgrading this year) kicks in, I get the following message in my app log: Event Type: Information Event Source: MSExchangeIS Event Category: Exchange VSS Writer Event ID: 9604 Date: 5/1/2008 Time: 4:30:37 PM User: N/A Computer: PAGE Description: Excha…

Windows 2000 to 2003 domain Upgrade
by Guest PMC1- 1 reply
- 200 views
Hi, I'm in the process of upgrading our domain from W2000 to W2003. Before any upgrade tasks I had 2 x W2000 DC's. One of these servers was the only DNS server in this domain. So far all I have done is performed a DCPromo on a W2003 server (following a forest and domain prep). Also I have installed DNS on the new W2003 DC. My query relates to Domain Trusts and how the might be effected by this upgrade. Configured on the W2000 server is an "incoming trust" to an external domain where we have access to a shared folder on a server. From an AD perspective there are no other connectivity to the external domain. With the view of gradually retiring the W2000 …

Question about exporting the DHCP database
by Guest Brian- 2 replies
- 269 views
Hello, We have a 2003 Server SP1 as our domain controller. To save possible headaches itwas suggested that for disaster recovery purposes I can create a script to run that will export the domain controller DHCP database to a text file. That text file can be exported to another location, perhaps on a server where where it could be quickly imported into DHCP for in case the original domain controller suffered a failure. I was reading these articles: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/325473 http://searchwinit.techtarget.com/tip/0,289483,sid1_gci1048889,00.html# http://www.geekadmin.com/?p=13 My goal is to have a copy that periodically copies the D…

JCIFS18_15_5D
by Guest Charles- 6 replies
- 284 views
We had a few Windows servers that had the last batch of Windows Updates installed and were not rebooted (there was a box indicating that a reboot was required on the desktop). We noticed that a user account that is used on many services on these servers was getting locked out on the domain controllers every couple of minutes. We finally resolved the issue by rebooting the servers. What makes this odd is that the source of the authentication request aws from JCIFS18_15_5D and JCIFS18_145_ED. These machines do not exist on our network. We scanned our network and did not find them. We did a NETSTAT -a and no host was found. My question is this: …

Scriplogic Active Administrator

- 162 views
Our WAN consists of 10 geographically dispersed sites. On each site there are 2 domain controllers. Our sites are connected by means of an MPLS network. One of the sites serves as the central hub, where all services are hosted. We are using an application called Active Administrator by a company called Scriptlogic to centrally record the security logs of all domain controllers on all sites. This application is hosted on a server in our central hub site. The database backend is hosted on another server on the same site. There is an Active Administrator service running on each domain controller. This service uploads details of the security log on each domain …

Please advise on what steps you would take in this situation to determine the problem/diagnosis: email is down as well as FileMaker and other services. also getting different issues and calls from end users. All of the programs and end users work from the same windows 2003 server. There is also another tech that has access to this server.

NTP Service (Windows Time)
by Guest Tyler Barnes- 2 replies
- 215 views
I have a Windows 2003 Stnd server that is a member of a domain. However, the specalized software used on this server is logged in via a local account on the server. Because of this software I am needing to sync with a NTP server for proper time stamps for this application; however, if I set the NTP server staticly and type net time under the local account; I get Access Denied. Is this because this machine is on the domain and I am logged in as a local account? This local account is an Administrator of the local machine, BTW. Thank you!
