Best Approach to Attach Users to a new Domain
by Guest AU- 5 replies
- 407 views
Hello, All the foundation including the necessarily servers such as dc, file, dns, dhcp, print etc have been installed and given their appropriate information. (user accounts made, dhcp scope defined, GPs created, file quotas set). Basically everything fro the server side is completed; it's only the user side now. I now have the task to attach some 60+ users comprised of laptops and desktops to the domain. All of these users have been logging on to their local machine profile in a workgroup environment for the past 10+ years. Now my question is, how can I attach all of these users to the domain with the least amount of admin effort and interruption…

Win2003 SP2 Upgrade RDP Problem
by Guest Bruce J- 3 replies
- 316 views
I have recently upgraded a Windows 2003 server connected to an SBS 2003 domain to SP2. All worked fine for a while until I uninstalled the "Terminal Server" role and I lost RDP access. Do I need the Terminal Server role for remote access? If not, how can I regain remote access? The server is not listening on port 3389 anymore (when i check remotely using PSExec remote command tool). The Terminal Server & RPC services are running. -- Bruce J MCP, MCDST, Network+

QuickLaunch Refresh - How to
by Guest Bob- 5 replies
- 428 views
Hi, I've my domain users %AppData% redirected to a server share and part of that is the QuickLaunch area (next to the "Start" button). Because I have a mixed environment (Vista/XP & Office 2003/2007), the shortcuts in the QuickLaunch need to be reassembled depending upon the workstation the user logs onto. I've written a script that will perform this task for me, but on occasion the QuickLaunch will not refresh so as to display the correct icons (even though my script has the proper shortcuts in place). The only solution I have for this is to have the user disable "Show Quick Launch" and then re-enable it. (Or log on/off). The Desktop on th…

Hello. I am looking for a solution to using the powermanagment drivers from AMD with a dual core opteron on a Win2003 SP2 system. SP2 seems to be the problem? Any know if Microsot has a solution for Win2003 SP1, similar to the fix for Win2003 SP1, to support AMD PowerNow driver (Cool'n'quiet) for dual core Opterons? It sure seems like Win2003 SP2 does not support ACPI processor performance states (effectively no support for AMD PowerNow! in SP2)? The problem occures after a while using the latest AMD PowerNow driver (also happened in SP2 with previous drivers). The system stop error logged is 0x000009C similar to KB924441. Ref. to support fo…

Virtual Server 2005 hosted on Server 2003
by Guest v2win- 0 replies
- 267 views
I recently performed a clean install of Windows Server 2003, SP2, with all current updates as a domain member server. To this, I installed Virtual Server 2005, as a complete install (i.e., all features installed). I then configured a new virtual machine and virtual disk with the intent of installing another instance of Server 2003, for testing purposes. After the successful installation of Virtual Server 2005 and configuration of the Web interface, authenticating as the signed-on user, I rebooted the host machine. During bootup, the host server freezes on the WindowsServer2003 start-up screen indefinitely. After forcefully shutting down the machine,…

2003 file server with Backup Exec hangs
by Guest Paul Welsh- 0 replies
- 237 views
Hi all I have an HP DL380 G4 with 4 GB RAM running Windows 2003 SP2 Standard running Backup Exec 11 with an attached Quantum autoloader. The autoloader is connected via an LSI Logic PCI-X Ultra320 SCSI controller. I see the driver is dated 1/10/02. All was going well until I added direct attached storage to the server in the shape of an HP StorageWorks Modular Smart Array 60 containing 5 x 250 GB SATA disks in a RAID 10 configuration (one disk is a hot spare). The controller for this is a PCI-X HP Smart Array P600 SAS / SATA Storage Controller. I upgraded the memory at the same time to 4 GB from 1 GB. The SATA drives are used by other servers to back…

Winodws Media Server Publishing Point
by Guest batkins- 0 replies
- 185 views
We have a large number of Windows Media streams that we are broadcasting to the web using Windows Media Server 9 (in Windows Server 2003 (SP2)). I am trying to build a way to be able to stop/restart our streams without interrupting the stream and leaving "dead air" on our streams. The software we are using to encode the streams needs to be restarted periodically. What we think we want to do is to build a publishing point which contains our remote publishing point followed by a playlist (consisting of around 7 songs) which we want to play if the publishing point stops playing for any reason and continue to play those songs until the publishing point is …

Windows Server 2003 R2 activation
by Guest moontube- 0 replies
- 153 views
I installed Windows Server 2003 R2 over the top of a previous installation of Windows Server 2003 that was giving me the blue screen of death with increasing frequency. The new R2 operating system has worked fine with no problems. However there seems to be a bug in the activation code. I cannot activate it and time is running out on my 30 days. When I click on the activation icon, it disappears. I am not given the opportunity to activate. My operating system is going to self-destruct in two days and there is nothing I can do to stop it. Please help. -- moontube

NNTP time settings for 2003 domain servers and workstations? GPO?
by Guest markm75- 11 replies
- 408 views
I cant recall this one.. But i noticed, since getting rid of our old DC, that our domain member server is reporting errors about not finding the time server for the old server. I checked in GPO management, I dont currently have a policy in there, though i think i may have in the past.. or maybe i set this at login (I cant recall the simple one line script that set it either).. What is the proper way to set the default NNTP server for the domain.. is it login script or GPO or does it matter? (This main NNTP server points out to a time server on the internet for synch). Thanks in advance

Scheduled tasks don't run on server 2003
by Guest Just Guessing- 2 replies
- 271 views
I have Windows 2003 SBS. The Windows SBS backup (the one that comes with SBS 2003) won't run until I go into Scheduled Tasks and re-enter the password it can use to run. I use the administrator account. The backup will run once or twice, then stop again until I re-enter the password. There are no errors in the event log. It doesn't even try to run. An error DOES appear in scheduled tasks that the task couldn't run. I have deleted and re-configured the backup, but it does the same thing. No other scheduled tasks run, either - the server report, server data collection. All of these are scheduled tasks. Why doesn't it remember the account informat…

I have users that occasionally delete a file or folder(s) from a public file share on a Windows 2003 server. I have had them look in their recycle bin and also looked on the servers recycle bin and not seen the files or folders. Any idea on where that deleted data is? It would be nice not to have to restore from tape when this occurs. Dan

Event Log size won't increase
by Guest Joe- 3 replies
- 344 views
I have two Win2K3 member servers that will not let me increase the size of the event logs. I have tried on multiple occasions to increase the App and Sys logs from the default 512Kb to 1024Kb or 2048Kb to occomodate the high level of events from the installed applications. When I appy the new settings, no errors are produced but the next time I check the size of each log it is set back to the default. Can anyone tell me what is going on here? Both servers are at the latest patches, and both are running SQL 2000. Thanks, Joe

XP Pro & Expired Passwords (AD)
by Guest Sparks- 0 replies
- 187 views
Hi, We have a recurring issue where users are able to log onto our Active Directory domain, with passwords that have expired. The user is then denied access to all the network resources (Exchange included) until they log off, then log on, when they then get the "your password has expired, and you must change it now" prompt. It doesn't happen all the time, as I think most people will change their password when it is nearing the limit, it seems to happen more often when people are away (like over Christmas) when their password expires when they are off. Any ideas!? We are running XP Pro on the workstations and a mix of 2000 and 2003 servers. Th…

Since they wouldn't be able to do. that with my family or friends, that meant getting at people. in the workplace to be their mouthpieces and do their dirty. work for them.
