Getting Windows Media Center on Windows Server 2008
by Guest boe- 2 replies
- 205 views
Hello, Just about everything MS doesn't enable in 2008 such as sidebar, live mail etc all work on Windows 2008 - but without the slow performance of Vista. I have the install disc for Vista and a valid license. If anyone figures a way to get media center working on this great OS please let me know. A lot of people who have tried out Win2k8 as a desktop seem very happy and even though I really really really didn't like Vista because of the slow performance, I have to admit 2008 seems to do everything Vista SP1 does but at the speed of XP. Thanks

Need to fix DNS name resolution issue
by Guest allendard@gmail.com- 1 reply

I just discovered that I have a DNS name resolution issue on my network. When using remote desktop, I cannot connect via the remote client’s computer name, I can only connect via IP address. Which lead me to believe that it’s a DNS name resolution issue, the problem is that I have no clue on how to fix it. I am running Windows Sever 2003 SP3 with active directory and DNS.

Offline files permissions query?
by Guest UselessUser- 1 reply
- 148 views
Hi, I have walked into a new scenario which is odd for me! Basically I have a server which has this structure E:\HomeDirectory\%username% The folder HomeDirectory is shared, with share permissions set as Everyone Full Access. NTFS permissions have only administrators, creater owner, and system as full control. If we create a new user in AD with their H drive set to: \\server\HomeDirectory\%username% This creates the folder correctly and it is perfectly usable... Now we have a few users who are right clicking their H and selecting make available offline, and this is working fine. However I could not do this myself (I do not run as domain adm…

Folder inhertiance from profile created folders.
by Guest rborias- 0 replies

Is their any way to turn off folder inheritace completly. What I am getting is we have a cluster server which stores Users profile directories in one share and another share Resource data. Now when we create a new user and put in a drive letter and path it creates a user folder in that user profile directory. Now the Root folder "users" has inheritace turned off, but when a new user folder gets created inheritace is turned on for that folder. The root still has it off but anything new get inheritance. Any way to have thus turned off or am I missing something to stop this. The CIO sees this as a security risk if any change is made to the root folder…

DHCP Errors
by Guest Aaron- 0 replies
- 167 views
So we started having intermittent reports of workstations having network connectivity issues. Basically, a client computer will come up and not be able to talk to the network. It has no IP address, and doing an ipconfig /renew causes a long wait followed by an error saying there was no response. We started looking at it as a network issue, as rebooting the machine would often cause the problem to correct itself. This morning I decided to take a look at the domain controller/DHCP server for that VLAN and noticed a couple of odd errors: Event ID: 1014 The JET Database call returned the following error : -1808. Additional Debug Information: JetBackup. Eve…

Fax Service email routing problem
by Guest dwayneross@coolings.co.uk- 0 replies
- 134 views
Hi, I am having a problem with SMTP authentication and i am not sure where the problem is. Basically we are using an external isp for hosting all our email and then collecting all our email via smtp / pop. Up until recently we were using another host for some of our email. One of the functions we used was emailing all faxes that are received into Microsoft Fax Console within Windows 2003 server and routing them to an external mailbox for clients to pick up. When changing the settings within Microsoft Fax Service manager the faxes are no longer routing to email. The event log within windows gives event id's of 32083, 35089, 32078 which all suggest an smtp …

Restore the registry?
by Guest boe- 0 replies

Hello, I've just started playing with Windows Server 2008 a few days ago- so far I'm very pleased with it. I have not yet set up a backup job. I was curious if there was anything in Windows Server 2008 that let me go back to a previous day like System Restore? Thanks (the reason I ask is I think I messed up something in the registry - now when I go to personalize my desktop it says "this page failed to load")

Best backup solution
by Guest Gorge Lucas- 1 reply
- 165 views
Hi there, I was wondering what you thought of this solution. I have 3 servers. A domain controller, exchange box and spam server. I was thinking about purchasing Acronics True Image backup to take clones of the drivers and use Symantec Backup EX to do file based backup. These are 2003 servers with Exchange 2003. What do you think of this setup? Sounds strage? What would be an ideal solution? Thanks
