Time service problem
by Guest PaddleHard- 3 replies

Greetings, We are running server 2003 r2 fully patched domain controllers. Everything has been running fine for quite a while--event logs running clean, no replication issues, etc. This afternoon, I noticed my time changed on my XP box. I got on our PDC Em. and it was skewed by an hour just like my PC. I had set this server a good while back to pull time from an external source and it has been humming along. I hunted down the KB article on setting an authoritative time server and dug into the registry. It appeared that some setting had been changed, so I got that fixed and changed the source (time.windows.com didn't seem to be working) to USNO ntp. Now it seem…

Windows Server 2003 x64 with latest patches and SP. VSS service will not start. Gives "file not found" in System log. ImagePath in registry is correct and vssvc.exe is in the path (%SystemRoot%\system32) shown in the registry. Running vssadmin list writers doesn't show any writers. Please help as this is affecting our ability to back up or Exchange 2007 mailstores and the System State on this server. Many thanks!

office Update EULA
by Guest John- 6 replies

I am using WSUS to push updates, and recently have had on Office update that requires the end user to accept an EULA thing, yet it doesn't take the accept. It keeps popping up. It appears to go away with admin rights. I do not want to have to visit each one of these machines with the login out... required. Is the a fix for this so the user can accept it or it is done from the server? I posted this under WSUS group but haven't seen an answer.

Lack of Drivers in Windows Server 2008 Standard Trial?

Hello Group, I recently downloaded Windows Server 2008 Standard Trial and installed it on a test machine, ie. MB: Asus CPU: 800Mhz PIII RAM: 512MB HD: 10GB ATA133 Video: NVidia GeForce 256 Ethernet: Intel Pro 10/100 (or maybe RealTek) Audio: SoundBlaster Live! The installation went very smoothly, but afterward I noticed I didn't have Audio or Ethernet connectivity. I looked in Device Manager and sure enough there are two "Other Devices" labeled "Ethernet Controller" and "Multimedia Audio Controller", and the icons for these devices have a black on yellow exclamation mark. I also noticed my Display Adapter is set to a "Standard VGA Graphics Adapter…

Hello, I had a user delete a bunch of files from a share. I was able to recover them but would like to know what user did this. Is there a way to find this out? It does not appear any auditing was turned on on the server. Also, how can I just turn auditing on only for permission changes to folders? Thanks. Kevin

KMS count for windows 2008 / Vista
by Guest Igor Karasik- 20 replies
- 1.9k views
Hi, We have KMS 1.1 service installed on windows 2003 server. Our KMS key (group B) activated on this server. We successfully activated 6 windows 2008 servers vs. our KMS server. Currently we have only 4 Vista Business computers and they don't want to do activation. Error message: "Error: 0xC004F038 The computer could not be activated. The returned count from your Key Management Service is insufficient." 1) After reading different articles about KMS activation - if I understand correctly - I thought Vista machines will do activation if we have at least 5 windows 2008 servers OR 25 Vista machines. Apparently, even with 5 windows 2008 servers we need …

by Guest Richard Price- 0 replies

Hi, I have been having a reoccuring issue where my Windows DNS Server suddenly stops resolving high profile major websites (news.bbc.co.uk as an example), and the only way to get it to resolve these domains again is to clear the cache. This happens every few days. Is this a known issue, or is there something that I am supposed to be doing? Is there a long term solution? Regards Richard

Hi all I am sure the bulk of the questions behind this topic are concerned with how to turn it off. But we print over a WAN and I need to ensure the successful print popup window appears for users who print to remote printers in other geographical locations. 1.

On both my Windows print server and the advanced print properties on each terminal server i have the following set under print properties>advanced tab: "Show informational notifications for network printers" and "Notify when remote documents are printed" Is there any other setting that could override these settings? Are the …
