uninstall with msiexec
by Guest Frank- 0 replies
- 193 views
I'm trying to uninstall a product that was not installed via Group Policy in order to install an update that will be done through Group Policy. My attempt has been to remove the existing one via a Shutdown script in Group Policy (computers) using the following: msiexec /X "\\network path\abc.msi I've tried several command line switches, such as /quiet /QB, QN and I always get the prompt "Are you sure you want to uninstall this product". I even tried msiexec /X{GUID} from uninstall in the registry. I don't want that prompt. Minimally, a progress bar would be nice OR nothing at all until the PC shuts down. How can I remove that prompt and go straigh…

Domain/URL names the same (no email)
by Guest wilscott1st@yahoo.com- 3 replies
- 319 views
Our company finally got a web page up and running yesterday afternoon. The company that is hosting the website went and changed the public DNS records yesterday and Whammo! No email. The URL and Domain names are the same: (http://mydomain.com VS username@mydomain.com) Doing a lookup at dnsstuff.com I can see that the MX record now points to the web-server at the company that's hosting the website. It also *looks* like the reverse lookup is pointing to our exchange server inside our domain (public ip) however, no email is getting through to us inside the domain from outside the domain. We can send mail out and to each other succesfully. My Question: Do I ne…

Hello All, I'm running a Win2003 server with the latest updates, configured as an Exchange / Domain server. I was wondering if anyone can tell me how to get my Date and Time control panel to show me the "Internet Time" tab. I looked around in the Add/Remove Windows Components, but didn't find anything that looked like it. My "Windows Time" service is running though. I was wondering if anyone could please offer any advice? Thanks, Chris

Windows' printer share "disappears" at nearly the same time everyweekday?
by Guest Rob Gordon- 4 replies
- 346 views
I have a really bizarre one.. We have a Windows 2003 R2 Standard server (fully patched), acting as a dedicated print server. There are three networked printers fed off the server, all of the same make/model, using the same version of the printer driver and all on the same subnet. Each printer is shared out as both a Windows shared printer and as an LPR spool for Linux users. Every morning at nearly the exact same time, one of these printer's loses its share on the server and everyone mapped to it can't print. I can easily go into the server and reshare the printer and everything is fine, but it's ONLY that one share that disappears. There is nothi…

Win2K3 Servers continue reverting from SP2 to SP1
by Guest Allyn- 3 replies
- 305 views
We have a few Win2K3 servers that have had SP2 installed on them a couple times. SP2 will show up for a while, maybe a few months, and in the process of doing some maintenance we'll see they have reverted to SP1. We're puzzled at this, as no one in IT is removing them. Has anyone else experienced this? Thank you.

The Quickbooks database server on SBS
by Guest Tom Del Rosso- 10 replies
- 647 views
The Quickbooks database server apparently needs an admin to stay logged in while it runs. I'm wondering if you can make it run as a service or in a startup script. The fact that it also closes when you close it instead of minimizing to the tray makes it look pretty lame. What's the trick to make it work, or do you chuck it and let a workstation control access to the shared file? It seems to be designed to search for QBW files on a whole drive instead of simply remembering the folder you select. Are users supposed to open the file as before and rely on the manager to act transparently? This mechanism is strange for a database server. Does it hook file acce…

Identify if LM Authentication is used
by Guest fridmeister- 0 replies
- 209 views
Is there a way to log or audit the type of LM Authentication used? I'm specifically looking for a way to check if there are any applications or clients that are using legacy LM Authentication that requires LM Hash. I'd like to identify systems prior to bumping up the settings to disable this and use only NTLMv2 and staying by the phone to see if it rings. I see that Event ID 680 gives some information, but cant tell if that will tell me if its using LM or NTLM. Also, is this ID only logged on DC's? I'd like to find an something to capture when each protocol is used: LM, NTLM or Kerberos. Thanks,

Find Process sending UDP Traffic
by Guest Aaron- 3 replies
- 282 views
I'll start at this forum as I'm not sure which one might be better. We have a server that, every few days or so, starts sending out huge amounts of UDP traffic to various IP's. We haven't been able to track down exactly what's causing all of this traffic, and the contents of the UDP packets don't provide any clues. It looks like a binary file being transferred or some such as the packet data is a solid block of seemingly random characters. I'd like to pinpoint the process that is sending this traffic. Is there a tool or command I can use to get this information? I've tried various permutations of Netstat but that only seems to display TCP connections and U…

Reconnecting a computer to the domain
by Guest yaro137@googlemail.com- 4 replies
- 359 views
I had to disconnect a computer from the domain and then I added it back from AD users and computers by going to the Computers group where I want to add it back, right-clicking on the group and choosing New>Computer. Then I typed in the computer name. Now when I'm trying to remotely log on to this computer it tells me: "Windows cannot connect to the domain ..., or because your computer account was not found. Try later" What's the problem here? Is this because I'm trying to connect remotely to the computer? Thanks yaro
