RDP restart not working
by Guest mrants- 2 replies
- 246 views
I have noticed on a few full y patched servers that when I choose to restart the computer, the RDP session closes and the server "reboots". I try to connect a few minutes later and cannot. After more investigation the server never actually reboots, rebooting the server fixes the problem. Has anyone seen this and know of a resolution? Thanks

VBScripting Issue with System Administration Script
by Guest adrianr- 3 replies
- 318 views
Hello, I hope this is the correct group to send this to.... I've written a vbscript that searches through a file system and reports on files that have not been accessed in xx days. I pulled a lot of the code from scripting guys examples. My scripts works fine until I get to a folder that the script does not have access to. With 'On Error Resume Next' configured, I check to see if 'err' is <> 0 and if so, write the problem folder to a dictonary object before clearing the error and then resuming the script. My problem is that for some unknown reason, my script always picks up the next folder in the sequence and reports an error on that too - even i…

Accessing users windows shares on webbrowser?
by Guest Alan- 2 replies

Hi, We are currently in the final stages of planning a move from Novell file servers to Microsoft windows file servers. Our Novell server offers the ability for users to login and see there network drive letters on a webbrowser, where they can download and upload, and perform file operations on there network files and folders. The product that allows this is called Novell NetStorage.(http://www.novell.com/products/openenterpriseserver/netstorage.html) Is there a similar comparable product to allow you to login to the windows domain, and see your network drives and windows shares on a web page? Our users will miss this feature immensly, so i need to fin…

server 2008 GP
by Guest MNews- 0 replies
- 173 views
Dont know if anyone has seen this or even if this is the correct group. I have a lab setup with a mix of 2003/ 2008 DCs. and a mix of vista and XP. I set a key on GP for 'Display information about previous logons during user logon' and after that no vista or 2008 machine could logon to the domain. The only remedy so far was to logon the server 2008 machine and revert the GP. Has anyone else experienced this? I read that MS doesnt consider it a bug, but a security enhancement. Quite a surprise if suddenly no Vista/ 2008 machines in a 2003 domain can not login. Carl

How to add a dialog to Windows Server 2003 startup?
by Guest eaguilar- 2 replies
- 269 views
Hi, Does anybody know how I can add a dialog box to Windows Server 2003, to be displayed when users access a particular servers or group of servers? For example, this dialog would display legal info or server usage privacy policies, etc, before the user even gets the default log on dialogs... Also, on the same idea, where would a particular server store this info, if it already had this dialog working? I have access to a group of servers that have this feature, but I cannot find where this info is stored or where it can be configured... Thanks lot in advance, </edwin>

VSS Client Problem
by Guest Andy McKnight- 3 replies
- 305 views
Hi, We've had VSS running on a few of our servers for a while without any problems until this morning. Our primary file server now shows "No previous versions available" under the previous versions tab. The Drive on the server shows that shadow copies are being made twice a day and it's holding the last six weeks. Browsing \\localhost\drive$\ from the server allows me to see and restore those copies. So the problem appears to be just with the clients. Anyone seen this before? Andy.

Hi. I would like to develop a system to make backups to computers or only for outlokk folder of computers. I have a software on my FP server that backup daily my files. But I have a problem.

Running out of DHCP address leases howto rectify?
by Guest connor_a@hotmail.com- 7 replies
- 317 views
Hi everyone, What is the best way to add more address leases in DHCP to support multiple subnets for 400 - 600 users in a single building? On idea would be to create a DHCP superscope with RRAS enabled to perform the routing between subnets but this would place too heavy load on the DC which is also the DHCP server. I'm thinking more toward using DHCP relaying on the switches but not sure if the switches can perform the layer 3 routing. Any suggestions most appreciated. Thanks!

Question about My Documents and replication
by Guest Adam Sandler- 2 replies

Hello, I have a system of Windows 2003 R2 servers and Windows XP desktops. The users have roaming profiles and a user home specified on the file server. I am not using the GPO for redirecting My Documents. A few of the users are absolutely he|| bent at the system operation and have gotten the ear of senior management. Anyway, if a user 'A' logs onto host 'A' and places a file in My Documents, and then while still logged into host 'A', they log into host 'B', they are complaining they don't immediately see the file from Host 'A's My Documents in host 'B's My Documents.

Scenario: I have desktop systems on LAN Subnet A. My servers, including my WDS server, is on LAN Subnet B. The servers are all Windows 2003 R2 (fully patched).
