New Server Deployment
by Guest Chris- 1 reply
- 209 views
Hi Everyone, Here is the scenario: My company is going to change physical locations in about 4 months, through some miracle I've managed to convinced our president to abandon 2 out of 3 of the servers we are currently running. Getting rid of the third server is impossible because its got a 10 year old application I can't move, so I'm stuck with it. Now, the two servers I'm going to ditch are 5 years old but they are both running windows server 2003. On the shinny new servers I'm going to install server 2003 but I want transfer the licenses currently used on the old servers to the new ones. This would save me the cash on buying a new copy of serv…

Extending 2003 Server system/boot volume
by Guest Terry Hall- 5 replies
- 370 views
Anyone know of any tools that will allow me to extend the 2003 Server system/boot volume? I inherited a server from someone who obviously thought 10Gb was always going to be sufficient.and, of course, I'm rapidly running out of space due to service packs, etc. Neither Symantec's Partition Magic nor Paragon's Partition Manager Server Edition appear to be any good for this because my OS resides on a RAID system.

.Net Frameworks - Any Negative Impacts?
by Guest Wayne Fontes- 1 reply
- 137 views
I have a Windows Server 2003 development server that we use to hose a bunch of internal web servers. The box is about 4 years old but does the trick. A developer on my team wants to install .Net frameworks 3.0 and 3.5. All web services are using only 2.0 and I see no point in installing framework that we may need someday. It's true that we will eventually use more WCF and need it then, but not yet. When I shared my thoughts, I was asked "what's the harm?". To do this I didn't have a good answer. I'm a developer as well and by no means a system admin. Does anyone out there know of any negative impacts on performance or anything else when having .Net fr…

Best practice for local folder security
by Guest RichGK- 4 replies
- 336 views
At work they have been doing a method of security for a long time (described below) and the manager is adamant that this is the way it should be done. I suspect that it stems from the NT4 days and with everything on the network now 2000+ and the domain at 2000 functional level I don't think we need to do it so complicated. His way. A folder shared on the file & print server has a local group in it's ACL (for example "The local group"). Then in AD another group is created (e.g. "The AD group") and is added as a member of the "The Local Group" Users are then added as member to "The AD group". Now I prefer to simply add "The AD group" directly to the share…

System event notification service and SCW
by Guest Rob Nicholson- 2 replies
- 250 views
Nobody likes red errors in the event log. They have a habit of worrying one :-) So in a new build, we noticed the following error: DCOM got error "The service cannot be started, either because it is disabled or because it has no enabled devices associated with it. " attempting to start the service SENS with arguments "" in order to run the server: {D3938AB0-5B9D-11D1-8DD2-00AA004ABD5E} Doing a search on Usenet, it appears that this error is due to the SENS service been disabled - and it is indeed disabled. The posts suggest that it was SCW that disabled it and this is probably the case. The question is two fold - is there anyway to prevent this event i…

RDP stopped working
by Guest Jonathan- 15 replies

I don't know if anyone can shed any light on this. RDP stopped working on our 2003 Server. The machine is actually running SBS 2003 with sp2 (I am posting here since RDP is a more general Windows app). RDP was working on this server and then between one use and then next, several months ago it just stopped. Details: -Any client attempting to connect gets: "The client could not connect to remote computer." (Including localhost) -Remote Desktop is turned on in the Remote tab of System Properties. -Terminal Services is in Administration mode. -HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\TerminalServer\WinStations\RDP\PortNumber is set to 3389, bu…

Chsdks Error
by Guest Pere- 0 replies

Greetings I have a volume that is part of on a cluster that is stored on a SAN. I was experiencing some file system oddities, so I decided to run a chkdsk /f on the volume (I have done so a few times before with no problems) I took down the other cluster machine, then ran the command chkdsk e: /f The first time through (on stage 1 of 3) it fixed a bunch of things (including all my oddities). However, it errors out every time on stage two with the following output: CHKDSK is verifying files (stage 1 of 3)... 876928 file records processed. File verification completed. 322 large file records processed. 0 bad file records processed. 0 EA …

Hello, I have a windows 2003 ENT x64 Server that has sharepoint 2007 installed on it. The issue that I am having is page.sys will not remove it's self after being moved to the D:\ drive.The registy entry under: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\ Memory Management says its on the D:\ drive. Under performance options its set to no page on the c:\ drive. I have tried to manually delete the file but its states its being used. I have looked on the D:\ drive and I have another pagefile.sys. I have tried rebooting the server but it still will not remove. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks

VLAN Domain Controller Communications Issues
by Guest JT- 0 replies
- 139 views
I have 4 DCs, 2 on each VLAN. My default VLAN, VLAN 0, can communiicate with VLAN 1. VLAN 0 has higher security, so clients on VLAN 0 may initiate communication with VLAN 1, but VLAN1 clients cannot initate communication to VLAN 0. I have opened firewall ports that allow the DCs on both VLANS to communicate freely. The issue is, in the PIX log I see that DCs on VLAN 1 try to initiate communication with clients on Vlan 0. Of course this fails. Why do the DCs on VLAN 1 desire to communicate with clients on VLAN 0? I have the DNS for VLAN 0 clients pointed to the DCs on VLAN 0. It is a mystery to me why DCs on VLAN 1 desire to communicate with clie…
