ForeFront - Deployment KB914882 through WSUS
by Guest Vojtech Fiurasek- 0 replies
- 220 views
Note from: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb418807.aspx For non-FCS localized Windows languages, the new installation package does not automatically install the required KB914882 update on x86 Windows XP SP2. Therefore, prior to WSUS deployment, you must deploy the correct OS language version of update (found in the \client folder on the FCS CD media) to XP computers. Is it possible to deploy KB914882-CSY to Windows XP SP2 (Czech) computers through WSUS 3.0? (I would need to manually add this update to WSUS.) Or any other good (simple) method of deploying this update (I was thinking about a logon script, but WSUS would be much preferable)…

ftp & publishing FP files
by Guest Lisa- 0 replies
- 190 views
I have been using ftp for my FP files for the website. During the last 6 months our server has changed and our domain name has changed from .com to ..net. Last year on my website I was able to have a confirmation sent back to the user and the results stored in another file. When switching to the new server the extension had to be re-installed and according to our server techs working fine. Since it is a confirmation page it requires publishing not ftp(not knowledgeable to know why). Frontpage will not allow me to publish (doesn't accept my username and password) but I can ftp the file. http:\\http://www.websitename.net to publish and ftp:\\websitenam…

Problem with Faxes going to the wrong destination...
by Guest Travis- 0 replies
- 186 views
I have a Fax Server running on Widnows Small Business Server 2003. It's got 2 modems attached and only sends outbound faxes. It process on average about 100-150 faxes per day (to date, the most it has sent in 1 8 hour shift is 208, but that is not typical). The second modem was added in the past couple months. Lately it has started to send the wrong fax. I can see that 2 fax jobs were submitted, say FAX_A and then FAX_B a few seconds later. Both FAX_A and FAX_B will be sent the same fax. For what it's worth, it's being fed faxes by a VB 6 application via the FAXCOMLIB libraries. The application creates PDFs, attaches them to the fax object an…

I wanted to give Internet printing a try and was reading up on KB. I've followed the KB and I don't hvae the windows component they mention: "In the Components list of the Windows Components Wizard, double-click Web Application Server, click to select the Internet Information Services (IIS) " this doesn't appear as an option. IIS is installed but under Web Service Extensions. Internet printing isn't an option either. This is the Standard 2003 R2 version, any ideas? thanks

Our DC is a W2K3 Enterprise Server. We have a backup DC /webserver. Does it make sense to run DHCP from both servers? There doesn't seem to be a way to replicate DHCP servers. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Hello I have a windows server 2003 basic edition. On this server I installed an apache web server, and I run a web application. The language scripting used is php. The web application is based on a few pages that call executable applications written in c#. This c# applications make operations on the windows media services, and doing stuff like create/remove publishing points (for those who know what this mean). The web pages, a few of them, are written in a way that they MUST get the response from the c# application, regarding the success or failure of the operation they had to make. To call an executable exe file from the php language script, you use a…

Logical Drives and RAID 5
by Guest rcir88- 1 reply
- 219 views
I have a server running Windows 2003 Server Standard which currently uses a RAID 1+0 array. I will be installing two more hard drives for a total of 4 physical drives and changing the array to a RAID 5 system. This will require reinstalling everything. The question is should I create logical drives on the array that match the logical drives I create on Windows or just creat one logical drive on the array and create a different number of drives on Windows? I need only two logical drives, one for the system and programs and one for data. Is there any advantage of doing it one way or the other, or doesn’t it matter?

2003 Server hangs on shutdown w/KVM
by Guest Peter- 1 reply

I have a number of 2003-R2 (SP2) servers (various motherboards) that hang upon shutdown when restarting after WSUS (v3) updates have run This never happened when we were running Windows 2000 (SP4) on exactly the same servers All are monitored via KVMs and all I have to do to kick the server back into life is to change to that server on the KVM and shutdown/ restart runs through normally. I'm sure it's a KVM issue (they are all different models of Serverlink products with PS2/VGA connectors). I've seen similar discussions about modifying the ACPI settings on the motherboard but I'm not exactly sure what it is that I should be looking at changing Suggesti…

Authentication Problem
by Guest TagaR- 2 replies
- 279 views
I have a remote site with Cisco router and 2 ports were configured for two subnets. The first subnet was for DRP and the second subnet was for CLIENTS. The DRP has W2003 SP2 DC and is configured to provide IP to the CLIENTS subnet using the Cisco router IP Helper. This configuration works ok. The problem is the clients on CLIENTS subnet are authenticated not by the DRP DC subnet but by the MAINHO DC remotely. How is this authentication really works? What should I do that CLIENTS subnet will authenticate on DRP DC if the DC is available? Thanks TagaR

?? Can I "clone" a Local User Group ??
by Guest Tom Baxter- 4 replies
- 340 views
Hi all, I'm using Server 2003 (learning it, actually). Is it possible to create a new local User Group based on the policies assigned to an existing local group? In my case, I'd like to essentially clone the "Remote Desktop Users" group and then add (or possibly remove) some policies. The only reason I'm interested in doing this is to experiment with groups & policies. As a related question, how can I find *all* the policies assigned to a particular group? For example, in the Local Security Policy tool I can see that the "Remote Desktop Users" group has the "Allow log on through Terminal Services" policy applied. How can I find *all* the policie…
