Win2000 server has lost its ability to read security databases
by Guest neilbehagg@yahoo.co.uk- 0 replies
- 177 views
Hi all, I've got a problem on a Windows 2000 server that I really need some help with. Let me explain the symptoms. The issue was first raised as a problem with SQL2000, we were getting the dreadded 'cannot generate sspi context' error. Alot of troubleshooting later lead me to find that the server can't open the secedit.sdb local policy database. All I get is 'An unknown error occured when attempting to open the database'. I've verified the secedit.sdb database, even deleted and recreated it. gave everyone access to the system drive as its mentioned in a KB somewhere. I finally opened the sdb file from another server, proving that its not the file thats the …

Can Not Update or Install anything on Windows 2003 Domain Controller
by Guest William Holmes- 0 replies
- 171 views
Hello, I am having trouble updating my domain Controllers. Windows Updates as Well as other installations are failing indicating that I don't have permission to update Windows 2003. Other systems in the domain update just fine. And if I demote a controller it will allow updates. I think this may have something to do with the Default Domain Controller Group Policy. Can someone point me to a list of the default/correct settings for the Default Domain Controller Policy or offer an alternate explanation for whey I don't have permissions to update my Windows 2003 Domain Controllers. Thanks Bill

Wireless Connection

Hi, I've just got a new laptop running Vista. On my old PC I connected to the net with a DSL modem. I am not very computer literate, so when I switched on my laptop, and done all the setup, this message came up that I was connected to the Internet, as I had no modem attached I thought this weird, so I done a bit of digging and came up with a list of networks, and found I was connected to a Linksys public connection, could anyone please explain this connection to me, and will it harm my laptop. I have no wireless router. Thank you in advance for your help.

VSS problems still continuoes...
by Guest Alien- 0 replies

I am experiencing for few months problem with VSS writers. Few days ago I reregistered DLLs related to VSS, see following link for detalis (http://blogs.technet.com/sdoakes/archive/2006/02/03/418722.aspx) and applied KB940349. After that ntbackup of system state finally worked. VSS writers worked perfectly, no error shown. Yesterday I found that Scheduled task of system state backup made by ntbackup was sitting for hours making no progress. Looking in event viewer I found error: Event Type: Error Event Source: VSS Event Category: None Event ID: 7001 Date: 14.1.2008 Time: 9:07:44 User: N/A Computer: PDC Description: VssAdmin: Unable to create a sh…

File Server Resource Manager Auditing Database
by Guest Brian C. from Boulder- 0 replies
- 203 views
Greetings, I'm sorry if this is not the proper area to post, and if not, can you help guide me to the forum that would be better suited for this question. My question is, we are experimenting with FSRM and trying to understand what is the Auditing Database. More to the point, where is the Auditing Database and how would you reset it? We've done some experimentation and the data seems to be old and now duplicated in some areas and we want to clear it out. Thank you!

Recent Change? /PAE with 32GB of hot swap RAM
by Guest Blunderdog- 2 replies
- 286 views
For a little over a year we've run a cluster with Server 2003 32bit machines with quad processors and 32 GB of hot swapable ram. According to http://support.microsoft.com/kb/283037 the /PAE switch is not required in the boot.ini for applications that can use the ram to get access to it. In this case it is SQL 2000. We've run fine without that switch since September 2006. Today we noticed these machine were only reporting 3.5 GB of RAM in system manager. However when the machines boot the system clearly reports all 32 GB. To fix the problem I added the /PAE switch and rebooted the passive node and now Windows reports 32GB. Has something changed, perhaps a …

File Server Mgr does not match PC. Trojan?
by Guest DS- 2 replies
- 274 views
I found something odd today on the File Server Manager. It lists a different name than what the actual PC is named. xxxx.dra.hmg.gb and xxx.dra.hmg.gb. Where they should be C103 and C116 (and that is what still shows on the PC) I am not positive when it changed. All patches are up to date. Any help/insight is appreciated.

Problem with Windows 2003 SP2 and user certicifate
by Guest Dean Molchovic Petersen- 2 replies
- 269 views
On a windows 2003 SP2 server, we need to install a usercertificate that will validate the user to a website. Installing the ceritificate via MMC\Certificates\Personal\My user account in the personal folder result in the certificate being displayed under Other People Tab rather than Under the Personal Tab. IE version is 6.0.3760.3959 The problem seems only to occur under Windows 2003 SP2. This means that the certificate is useless. We have tried installing the certificate on Windows 2003 SP1 and on Windows XP computers with no problems. Anyone ? Regards, Dean M.P.

Chkdsk index check presently 8807 percent complete and climbing
by Guest Nick Payne- 0 replies
- 183 views
A SAN cluster volume on one of our servers has started filling the server system log with errors from NTFS saying "the file system structure on the disk is corrupt and unusable. Please run the chkdsk utility on the volume Forensics". Other volumes on the server are fine. I moved the disk to a separate cluster group and put it into maintenance mode to run chkdsk. However... 1. based on previous experience with volumes of this size (800Gb, about 1.5 million files), I would have estimated six to eight hours for chkdsk to complete. After five hours, chkdsk is still checking index entries and is now indicating that index checking is 8963 percent complete, so…

scheduled reboot - assign reason?
by Guest Cindy B- 7 replies
- 501 views
Hi- Hopefully someone has a quick idea for this... We are implementing a weekly reboots of all enterprise servers - attaining this by using scheduled tasks. My questions is: Is there a way to add the reason for the reboot? I'd like to designate it as maintenance, so when monitoring servers - we don't always have to check the reboot maintenance schedule to see if it is planned or unplanned. OR.. when I run: c:\windows\system323\shutdown.exe -r -f -t 01 can I designate planned instead of unplanned? thanks for any suggeston you might have? Cindy -- Cindy B

Re: Remote Printing
by Guest Frank Castle- 0 replies
- 191 views
Re: Remote Printing Thanks for the reply. But let me reiterate: I do not have local servers. DCs are not a factor here, IOW, I have a dedicated File and Print server but its at a central locataion (not at the branches). I also want to avoid using workstations for security, performance and change control purposes. My question is specific: Would using the "print directly to the printer" send the job (data) directly to the printer or does this data still need to be sent over the WAN link to the server and then back down to the printer. I am trying to avoid bogging down the WAN link for user traffic. Thanks again. > "Harry Bates" <harry.bates@NO-SP…

Remote Printing
by Guest Frank Castle- 2 replies
- 280 views
Hey Folks, I have printers in 40 branch offices. I have all my servers in a central location - my data center. I need to set up a print server but I am concerned about setting one up for 40 branches to print from my data center. I want to avoid buying 40 print servers - even if ther are inexpensive little ones from a local store. So, my question is - Does the "Print Directly to the Printer" feature enable me to bypass the print server and even though the print queue is hosted in my DC - allow me to print to the printer that is physically located in my office? Thanks in advance. -fc

Domain name resolution...
by Guest Andrew Meador- 7 replies
- 483 views
Please do not follow this link, or do so at your own risk - if it even works! I got an e-mail that I suspect is linking me back to a boggus PayPal site. The link is: htp://1422718346:82/cmd_home/index.php I changed http to htp so this would not create an active link. But will this resolve? Can this work as a dns/domain name? I've never seen a domain name like that before and wonder if there is something new being done in domain name resolution, or if I missed something and this has always been able to be done. I know this is an odd place to post this, but I figured server admins with DNS expertise would know. I didn't follow the link, may…
