DHCP problem
by Guest yifli- 18 replies
- 962 views
Hi, My Windows XP Pro with SP2 box couldn't get DHCP offer when I tried to boot it from network. But it does not have problem with getting DHCP offer from the same DHCP server after the OS is up and running. I looked at Windows Network Monitor when I tried to network-boot the machine, I saw the machine sent a DHCP request and the DHCP server replied with a correct DHCP offer, but somehow the machine did not get that offer. Could anyone help me out? thx Yifei

I get this error only after a weekly reboot. Is there a process not loading up before hand? should I be concerned about this? Is it updating at other times during the week? Windows cannot access the file gpt.ini for GPO CN={6AC1786C-016F-11D2-945F-00C04fB984F9},CN=Policies,CN=System,DC=mydomain,DC=com.

Hey guys i have a problem with one of my network shared folder, this folder contains a software that i want to install across the network. my problem is that, folder has been shared and i have given everyone a full access (i mean really total access to this folder) but i get the access denied problem. what makes me confuse is that i have other shared folders which contains also some softwares and everyone only has read and execute permission but they dont have any problem, they cant install the softwares across the network. But this particular network shared folder keeps on denying everyone who access it and yet everyone has total access on it....:) can anyone pls…

Can't access server via remote desktop connection
by Guest Mark Christensen- 17 replies
- 929 views
I have an XP machine that I use to remote into our server that's located in another part of the building. The server is running Server 2003 R2 Enterprise Edition SP2. The server is set up to accept remote connections. Usually I can get in to it fine, but then every so often when I open the Remote log on box on my PC and click connect (after entering the log on info like normal), the Remote log on box just refreshes and won't let me connect to the server. Our fix for this has always been to reboot the server, then I can log in fine, but this doesn't seem right. Is there something wrong with our server? Or a setting that needs to be changed on it so I can …

S2k3 Cannot access C$ but have correct permission
by Guest Kat- 17 replies
- 912 views
I set up a new file server and I'm trying to access the C$ drive. I have added the domain admin account with Full access to the drive. When I try to access it with that domain admin login, I get the following error: \\server\c$ is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this network resource. Multiple connections to a server or shared resource by the same user, using more than one user name, are not allowed. Disconnect all previous connections to the server or shared resource and try again. ---- I checked the server and I do not have any open sessions. Any ideas???

SP2 install wanted to replace RAID driver, I said no, now BSOD 7B
by Guest mct@pioneerprogramming.com- 12 replies
- 911 views
The 2003 server has an old Adaptec 2010S RAID card with the most recent Adaptec driver (dpti2o.sys) installed in it from July 2003. The driver is WHQL. It's been running just fine the past 5 years, and I wanted to install SP2 on it to get it up to date. During SP2 setup it said something to the effect that it had a newer mass storage driver for the RAID card that it wanted to use. I don't remember the exact text of the message, thus I haven't been able to google for it again, but at the time I was able to search for it and the recommendations I got generally said not to let it change the driver. I said to keep the current driver and SP2 finished and whe…

Hello all - I've searched this site and seen similar posts but cannot resolve my issue. I have a newly installed 2003 sbs server with the POP3 connector configured to deliver mail to users boxes.

Folks: I need to know if anyone is aware of any software that can record everything that is being done on a PC I own and store this on a file in that computer or on a server in my own company where we can access it from another computer and view the recording without interfering with the usage of the recorded machine. Is there such a thing? Please advise... Bikini Browser San Juan Puerto Rico

Windows server 2003 randomly failing
by Guest dDan- 10 replies
- 893 views
I've scoured the web for information on this but with no errors reported in the event viewer I'm finding it a little difficult to know where to start. Basically, our Windows Server 2003 server seems to randomly stop responding correctly. By this, I mean users cant log on to the domain, access any shares etc. The server itself doesn't actually hang, in that I can still navigate around Windows, however it does appear to be very unresponsive (for example, if i click START, it might take 5 minutes or so to show up). The server and all clients also fail when updating group policy. Restarting the server fixes everything, but then it happens again a seemi…

Spontaneous Reboot
by Guest hpoincare- 10 replies
- 889 views
Late model IBM Server Windows2003 Server standard SP2, almost all updates except for the ones dating back a week (or two). The server will go through the POST and then display Windows Splash Screen, then show progress messages; “Starting Windows”, “Applying Security”, “Applying Settings”.. – eventually showing the login (if lucky). But before login, the server will spontaneously shutdown/reboot. I was able to boot to safe mode just fine. No shutdowns/reboots at all in safe mode. The last error in the System event log before shutdown refers to the WSUS. Event ID 1010 “A process serving application pool Wsus Pool failed to respond to a ping” Next …

- 889 views
I have a server 2k3 R2 SP2 which is a DC and I cannot get the DHCP service to bind to the IP address. I have followed this post http://www.winserverkb.com/Uwe/Forum.aspx/windows-server-sbs/45189/DHCP-not-renewing-leases which pretty much describes what is happening to me. when I go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\TCpip\Parameter\Interfa ces\[NIC''s GUID]\BindToDHCPServer - this key 'bind to DHCPServer' does not exist. Although this is a Dell machine I do not have open manage installed on this server. I have stopped short of restarting the server with a clean boot because I was wondering if the fact that the above registry ke…

Ntbackup

Hi all. I'm using Windows Ntbackup to backup my data (system state and office documents) on DLT and Ultrium (with windows 2000 server and windows server 2003) and all my test restores are always working perfectly. Today, browsing the Internet I found this article: http://www.windowsnetworking.com/articles_tutorials/New-Improved-NTBACKUP-Program.html where the author write: "My point is that NTBACKUP has never been completely reliable. You can use it to back up a system, but if you ever have to restore anything other than a few individual files, you never know what you are going to get." Do you agree with this article or do you think that windows ntb…

- 861 views
We have a 2003 Server that is being used as a file and print server. It is also running our Panda antivirus, WSUS, and BackupExec. The machine is running out of memory on a weekly basis and requires a reboot after it freezes. When I rebooted it on Wednesday it said it was only using about 750 MB of RAM, according to Task Manager. Right now (5 days later) it is over 2,150 MB. The machine has 2 GB installed. Can somebody tell me where to begin? Thanks, Ron
