permissions problem
by Guest Wowbagger- 2 replies
- 303 views
I have a script that logs onto an ftp server and downloads every file in a particular ftp directory into a folder on the server (2003). Permissions on this folder are set to allow USERS full access, but files which are downloaded are never having this permission applied and only the administrator can access the files. The files are never in another local folder so they aren't keeping those permissions, they just aren't inheriting the permissions of the folder where they are being saved. Is there a way to force the pictures to inherit the permissions as they are being saved from the ftp server? Thank you.

Monitoring Tools for Windows and non-Windows machines
by Guest Hassan- 0 replies

Are there any good open source( cheap ;) ) monitoring tools for Windows and non-Windows machines that can monitor perfmon counters, event logs,custom queries, ping failures,etc.. and alert on thresholds that are defined. The enterprise level tools like Quest and i3 are a bit too expensive and was looking for some open source tools if any or something affordable. MOM will also not work bcos I want to also monitor some Linux machines that we have. Can someone recommend a tool to monitor our 15 servers we have today ? Thanks P.S. Hows OpManager from AdventNet ? What about Nagios ? Just heard the above names

Recovery...
by Guest Steven Sinclair- 1 reply
- 219 views
I have a computer that I can no longer access (unfortunately, probably due to a virus). I have tried all of the local admin user / password combinations, but none of them are working. I'm thinking it got a virus that a few of our servers got that actually changes the admin password. Is there a patch / fix for changing the local admin account and resetting the password or are there any other options to correct this problem? Thanx.

Executing this script on a 2003 server results in an error claiming that the syntax is incorrect. What am I missing here?

CAL Licensing is broken, one server is off in its own little world
by Guest tom.corelis@gmail.com- 2 replies
- 272 views
Hey guys, I want to apologize in advance if this has been written about elsewhere, but I've searched nearly everything that I could find with no luck. The licensing system on my work network is horked. We have three machines running Windows 2003 standard, but one was upgraded via the transition pack from Win2003 SBS. It won't acknowledge the User CALs we bought for it, so I've had to install a bunch of fake Per Server CALs on each computer til I can figure out whats going on. Now, I'm not really privy on helping Microsoft police us, but I like the fact that we know where we are in terms of license usage and so I can know when I need to buy more. The th…

Script to check Service Status?
by Guest Brock Hensley- 2 replies
- 282 views
Hello, I am looking to program a script to go through a list of servers and check the status of the 'DNS Server' service. We are currently running into a repetitive problem with our Virtual Private Servers in which upon windows updates auto reboots, the DNS Server service gets stuck in the 'Starting' stage and requires another reboot to get it to be operational. I'm experienced in PHP/Perl/Bash Shell scripting, but these are Windows Servers and I'm looking for some insight as to how to check the status of certain services semi-automatically. Any tips appreciated. -B

Funny thing happening with my Windows 2000 Server
by Guest Paul Clemmons- 6 replies
- 433 views
Ok, here is the deal. We have had this Windows 2000 server running for the past 2.5 years. All of a sudden, with nothing added or loaded on the machine, it started to spontaneously freeze up on us. Now I have done a check on all drives, memory, motherboard, power supply so it isn't a hardware issue. What is weird is the first indicator is people being kicked out of Terminal Services and not being able to log back in. All the lights are on the server and everything is spinning correctly and the monitor is not showing anything weird, but the only way to restablish connections again, is to reboot the server. I have looked at the Terminal Services Mana…

Argentina Daylight Saving rule taking effect THIS SUNDAY

Is there any information from Microsoft about a patch for Argentina's Daylight Saving observance? They begin to observe Daylight Saving THIS SUNDAY, 12/30. Here's a link with more detailed information: http://www.timeanddate.com/news/time/argentina-into-daylight-saving-time.html The Daylight Saving blog (http://blogs.technet.com/dst2007/) seems to be the logical place Microsoft would announce something about that, but the blog hasn't been updated since October 29th, and has no information about Argentina. I know there is a way to create a custom time zone in Windows with "tzedit" but it would be a lot better and simpler implementationwise for my com…

We have Windows Server 2003 R2 and multiple workstations all running XP Pro SP2. After logging into the domain and then trying to log out, the computer hangs on "Saving your settings". So far this is only occurring on one computer. If I use a different computer, the system logs off just fine. Another website recommended Microsoft UPHclean, but that didn't help. Suggestions are appreciated. Thanks

Best Practice Windows Update in Production Environment
by Guest Charles Law- 7 replies
- 487 views
I'm just wondering what people's views/experiences are here. When configuring a production system, is there a recommended approach to Windows Update? What I mean is, we have a production system, and support system that is identical. When setting the two systems up originally, we have avoided using Windows Update to download and apply SPs and hotfixes. At some point, before deploying, we want to apply SPs and patches, but in exactly the same way to each system. We also want to keep track of subsequent updates so that the two systems stay in sync. I see there is something called Windows Server Update Services (WSUS), but I don't know whether this is wid…

I am having an issue with our file server running Server 2003. We had to replace a power supply after it decided to blow up. Shortly thereafter we had an issue with the raid card and had to replace it and one of the attached drives in our Raid-5 array. After replaceing and rebuilding the drive, I tried rebooting. Reboot appeared to go smooth until just before the log on prompt would have appeared. I get a message stating that a service could not start and to check the event viewer. -"58786] DCOM Type: ERROR Computer: ALPHANET Time: 12/27/2007 9:28:37 AM ID: 10016 User: NT AUTHORITY\NETWORK SERVICE The application-specific permission sett…
