Hello. I´ve two windows 2003 std DC. This two DC are DNS servers of the lan. One of the servers has Exchange 2003. At 5 days ago i´ve done an upgrade to 4 GB (maximum supported by windows 2003 std) to the server with Exchange 2003, and since that the server hangs, and do not generate any error in event viewer. The system freeze. All the client computers are Windows XP Professional, and are configured by DHCP and know the 2 DNS.

I think the other server should kepp users authentications and computers working ok in the lan, but when users try to logon, the…

SCSI Enclosure Device in Windows 2008
by Guest jas- 1 reply
- 201 views
Hi I have a storage array that supports SCSI Enclosure Services on LUN ID 254. In Windows 2008 this appears as Generic SCSI Enclodure Device under System Devices in Device Manager. I need to send SCSI inquiry on this device but I am not able to figure out which device name I should be using. I initially thought this will appear as another \\.\PHYSICALDRIVEn but it did not. How do I find out the device name for this device? Thanks jas123

Can't format Soft-RAID5 on Windows Server 2003
by Guest Marcel- 7 replies
- 304 views
Hi, I have a noname SIL3114 4-port SATA-Controller on an ASROCK P4V88+ (VIA-chipset with 2-Port onboard sata). With RAID5-BIOS, Windows Server 2003 started formatting my 4-HD-Array but couldn't complete it ("the format did not complete successfully"). The same happens when I use the SATA-Controller with a simple BIOS without onboard-RAID functions. Neither Quick-format nor longformat could complete the format. I also tried different cluster- and volume-size with no success. Any ideas? Should I use another special format utility? Marcel

Hello, After installing another HBA-card I lost all my SCSI or HBA devices. I was installing HP MPIO for Eva 4000, when I got blue screen. I managed to restore my system to a ide hard disk. Now all my SCSI controllers say that "A driver for this device was not required, and has been disabled." if I check them from device management. Same if I try to reinstall drivers. Any idea what could cause this?

Redirecting users
by Guest Chris Wilkinson- 1 reply
- 177 views
Hi, I'm not sure if if this is the right forum but here goes. I have a problem in that I have a load of Word documents with attached templates that are on a now defunct server. The problem is that Word now hangs for a long time looking for its template on non-existent server(it has been moved to a new server). Further investigation showed that this location is hardcoded in the Word document. A guy called Terry Farrell on the Word discussion group said that the only solution is to use the Windows Server Redirect command to redirect any requests for templates on the dead server to the new location. Can anyone tell me how to do this? Also, where would any …

Print Server Issue
by Guest kman- 2 replies

I have an odd issue. I have a Windows 2003 server I am using as a small print server. When I connect to it using \\server and then choose Printers and Faxes the window hangs for several minutes then finally populates. I do not have any issues printing from it just connecting to it remotely. Any idea what could be causing this?

Rights to run Server Manager from client?
by Guest Peter- 2 replies
- 167 views
When we ran a Windows 2000 domain, I could appoint a certain number of selected staff members as "Server Operators". This enabled them to use Server Manager to disconnect sessions for students who had not logged off properly. Since we moved to Windows 2003-R2 (SP2) such a staff member can open Server Manager and when he/she clicks on a Domain Controller, he/she can control sessions. However when clicking on a Member Server, the message "Access is denied" is displayed As administrator equivalent I can get into both DC and Member server. It just affects "Server Operators". Client computers are Windows XP SP2. The server manager executable is V5.2.3790.1127. In…

by Guest Joshua Bright- 7 replies

I have been getting insufficent memory errors when I attempt to copy large pst files from our file and print server. This is also the case when I try to run scanpst (yes, I know there is no support for networked psts). My question is if it is ok to run chkdsk over a raid 5 volume? I have ran it in read only mode, but am concerned about possible corruption. Any words to the unwise on how to conduct preventative maintanance on a RAID 5 volume?

Greetings, I need one 2003 server in my domain to run on a different timezone for a specialized application that is time sensitive. If I change the TZ, the DC changes it back. Even if I script to change it, launch my app, disconnect the session, when I reconnect, the TZ is changed back. Any ideas?

When you have to backtrack and downgrade a DC
by Guest CryptiniteDemon- 3 replies

Okay, so I have this book from Microsoft that's basically a guide to get from NT 4.0 to Server 2003. Of particular interest is the section where they talk about going back to an NT DC if there's and installation error or something. Now basically the procedure is: Keep a BDC off line just in case. When something goes wrong, take all 2003 DCs off the network Promote the BDC to a PDC. And I would imagine this works fine if no computer had ever logged on to the new domain. But say you got everything up and running just fine on 2003 and a few days later decided you needed to go back to NT for some reason. This is the scenario I'm trying to simulate. …
