Stuck on Permissions

Hello, I provide IT/Network support for a K-8 private school. The school uses a Windows 2003 server and Windows XP clients. On the server is a shared folder that is used by workstations in a computer lab for students to save their school assignments. These lab computers all log in with the same user account. We've recently run into the issue where students have been deleting the assignments of other students or moving files and folders to another folder, and I spend a significant amount of time undeleting files, and moving the files around means the instructors are spending additional time trying to find the missing files. In an attempt to resolve this,…

hey When people say "Terminal Server" on a windows platform (Windows Server 2003 platform), to they then really mean "Terminal Server" or do they mean Terminal Services? I've checked microsoft.com and AFAIK they mean Terminal Service, a service which can be set to run on a Windows Server 2003. However I'm not sure... so that's why I post here... (I'm a newbie on Terminal Server)

Logon Script will not run
by Guest Absolutely- 5 replies
- 395 views
Have a network of about 25 workstations and today I added 5 workstations. None of these new workstations will run the logon scripts. I can manually map drives without a problem. I can browse out to the NETLOGON folder and run the script without a problem. I can logon to any of the other existing workstations as the same users I'm logging onto the new workstations as and the script runs without issue. The machines joined the domain without a problem. This is baffling the hell out of me.

Hi everyone, Windows File Open/Close operations are quick but when it comes to printing, documents take over 90 seconds to print. Using the latest HP drivers on the Server. Sophos Antivirus is installed on the Server. Stopping Sophos does seem to help but not by much. Any ideas most appreciated!

by Guest ColinR- 4 replies

I have a brand new laptop with XP Pro. The machine name and domain have been set. The administrator can log onto the laptop with no problems. I have got the new user to log on to the laptop with the "log on to:" set to the domain. This creates the files within Documents and settings Shut down the laptop and remove the network cable, I restart the laptop and get the user to log on but this take forever. Any ideas how I can get the log on to be much quicker? I need the user to log onto the domain so the user can access mapped drives etc via a VPN.

Off-line folders - possible to omit certain folders
by Guest Laphan- 1 reply
- 143 views
Hi All I'm using the off-line folders default setup when XP Pro machines hook up to a Win2k3 server AD domain and I'm finding that the off-line folders feature just won't work with certain laptops because the user has sooooo much crap on them that the sync never completes. I was thinking that if I could designate one folder in their My Docs so that this folder doesn't get sync'd then I could get them to put all their personal stuff (they're teachers by the way!!) into this folder and just keep the rest (ie work stuff) to be sync'd. Is this possible? Thanks

Hello, I'm trying to setup a policy to grant access for a security group to have domain admin level access only on a few specific servers. We are using OCS and the chosen few to be administrators for it are not domain admins. I have read and understand they will need domain admin rights for some aspects of the software. I only want to enable the group to have admin rights on the OCS servers. Where do I find the correct policy to accomplish this? Any and all assistance would be appreciated.

Hi All, Hope someone has seen this problem and has a solution. I have a Windows 2003 SP1 member server of a Windows 2003 domain. Every few days the server will stop accepting connections to shares, printers, RDP attempts, etc. The clients will receive an error message similar to "Access Denied". When this happens, I am able to log on at the console. Hoever, I cannot hit the Internet. If I run Netdiag, all of the domain type tests fail. Netdiag is normal when the problem is not occurring. In the Event Viewer is an event 5719 that contains the following text: "This computer was not able to set up a secure session with a domain controller in domain Doma…

Help me with DNS problem I created (very stupid)
by Guest pez- 1 reply
- 199 views
I posted this over on the DNS group. But I will post here too because more people read this group. Last week we were having issues with our ISP's DNS so I pushed a GP to set our primary DNS to use OpenDNS. Obviously this broke active directory. So I changed the GP back. But all my Xp clients that were pushed the GP update needed to be fixed. After disjoining and rejoining to the domain their DNS was set back to our internal DNS servers. I am having trouble with one laptop. No matter what I do I cannot get the laptop to forward DNS queries to our internal name server. From the command prompt if I type nslookup it still displays the open DNS name server. I…

GPT Disk Signature
by Guest jas- 0 replies
- 189 views
Hi The WMI class Win32_DiskDrive has a property Signature and it correctly shows disk signature for MBR disks. However for GPT disks this filed is null. (Since GPT signature is GUID and Signature property is of type INT32 it is not possible to show it here anyway). Is there any other new WMI class to represent GPT disks? Is it possible to get GPT disk signature from WMI? BTW, I am using Windows 2008 RC1. Thanks and Regards jas
