Functional Level
by Guest TJ- 1 reply

Hi I have a Windows Server 2003 R2 running at Interim level and acting as a Domain Controller. I have read that this is only used if you have NT4 Domain Controllers on the network as well as 2003. I have a Win2k SP2 server running as a File/Application Server on my network. Will this be affected if I raise the functional level on the 2003 server? Thanks TJ

Windows Home Server - Remote Access to computers not supported on this operating system (Vista "Premium") I purchased a HP Windows Home Server system, where one of the advertised features enables you to remotely connect to the desktop of your home computers. I have the WHS system setup, and can access the (WHS) server remotely (from outside my network), however all the computers on my home network are listed as: Windows Vista Home Premium Edition - * Not supported on this operating system. I understand the Remote Desktop Connection (host) is crippled in the Vista "Premium" version, however I was under the impression (via all the adver…

Home Server Backup - XP Laptop Hibernate
by Guest TimBo- 1 reply

Hi, I have the HP MediaSmart versionof WHS, and so far, so good, I have been please with what it delivers. It meets my needs for a simple home server solution. The backup causes a slight problem, however. If I hibernate my Laptop (XP Home Edition SP2) the WHS backup wakes it up, performs the backup, and SHOULD then hibernate the Laptop - but it doesn't, so I keep finding the Laptop running when it shouldn't be. Anyone else found had this problem, and know of a fix? Also, is there a way to change the Workgroup name? All tips and pointers gratefully received, Thanks Tim

Hi, We have a new internet connection with 5 ip adresses. We also have a webserver in dmz with one of that 5 ip adresses. But now it's not possible to surf to out website from a internal computer. If i add the weburl and the internal ip adress in the hosts file then it's works fine. But we have lots of computers here, is it possible to make a policy on a sbs2003 server that applied all the hosts files on the computer? Or is there another solution (maybe a translation in dns or something..) that i can setup to resolve the internal ip?? Greetz, Tom

Hi, I'm sorry if this seem to be a "google-it!" question, but I have been hunting high and low for an answer and found nothing so far. I would preciate if somebody could tell me short how Media Sharing is supposed to work in Windows Home Server. - Can I stream music from WHS to a computer, using i.e. Windows Media Player or Winamp on the client? In case, how? - How do WHS populate the playlist? /Steinar

How to use a public IP address when all others are non-routable?
by Guest quietstorm- 2 replies
- 289 views
I added a new Windows 2003 R2 server into an existing domain consisting of just one Windows 2000 SP4 server and a few XP clients. The existing 2000 domain uses private IP addresses of the 192.168.1.xxx subnet. I had to give the new 2003 server one of them to join it to the domain. But now I want to change it to a public IP address so it can be a web server. But I still want it to be part of the domain and be able to share files and printing. And I may make it a backup domain controller. The public IP address is part of a contiguous block of 8 that we bought from our ISP. One of the others is used in the DSL router. I think the router is what hands out…

Hello. We have SBS2003 server, SP2. This might seem pretty stupid, but when i go to Start/Run and type in \\Server_Name, where does that take me? I can't match that up to any place on my hard drive using Windows Explorer or My Computer. I'm specifically looking for the folder mspclnt which shows up in \\Server_Name, but i can't find it when i search the hard drive. Any help would be gratefully appreciated. Thanks, Tony

move old domain account to new domain account with Vista?
by Guest ridergroov- 0 replies
- 203 views
Alright, I know that moveuser.exe is no longer working in Vista and is replaced by some crap called Win32_UserProfile WMI which I can't find anyone that knows how to use it to migrate an old domain profile to a new domain profile and I can't find anywhere that actually explains how to do this. Why moveuser.exe was made no longer useful in Vista is beyond me. Anyway, all I want to do is move my user account from our old domain to our new domain. Does anyone know how to do this with Vista Business? Thanks.

by Guest markm75- 0 replies

I did some recent benchmarks, at least on the harddisks.. and i seemed to find about a 5-10% increase in performance when running Standard edition r2... Is this really true.. or is my benchmark utility just showing something that really isnt there... Any thoughts? (I should mention these two tests were done as virtual servers on VS 2005 r2 sp1, and the benchmark used was performancetest v6.1, the passmark rating as a general indicator) Cheers

I am installing a computer running Windows 2003 Server at a client site tomorrow. I am installing the OS at my office. They have an existing server, which is a domain controller, this new server will be their terminal server. Their terminal server licenses are for the existing server. When I set up the new server on their network, do I set it up as a Member Server? How do I transfer the terminal server licenses to the new Terminal Server. The database for their software resides on the domain controller. It is accessed via a mapped drive by the users who are local. When I move the terminal server licenses to the new terminal server, what needs to be …

Remote Access Connection Manager
by Guest ChrisB- 3 replies

Hi, I have MOM monitoring our servers (100+ servers). Their is a policy in use which disables the telephony service (as per a best practice document we used when setting up the AD, regarding disabling unused services). MOM highlights errors on several of the servers that the Remote Access Connection Manager Service is unavailable due to the dependency on the Telephony service which failed to start. Can anyone help shine any light on why this would be occuring? Their does not appear to be a set pattern to which servers it occurs on - AV box, some SMS (not all), some Citrix servers. All servers are running 2003 with either SP1 or SP2 (mostly SP2).

NTOSKRNL.exe problem after restore
by Guest NeilT- 1 reply
- 213 views
Hello, We receive the error message "The following file is missing or corrupt: <windowsroot>\system32\ntoskrnl.exe" when we boot our freshly restored SBS 2003 server. I think the problem is that we have restored over a different update version or service pack than the original version. The boot.ini all seems fine, I can also access the recovery console and see the restored data fine. We have performed the following: 1). We do NOT know what service pack or updates were on the server before failure so we have just installed Windows SBS 2003 from original media No updates or patches applied! 2). Restored all files and System State back to origin…

I have been a long time user of Myspace and I've noticed recently I can no longer listen to music player on other members' profiles and mine as well. I have checked everything and cannot figure out what the problem is. Myspace says that I either am not running Javascipts or I need the newest version of Macromedia Flash Player. As far as I can tell I have Java running on my add on's and I've downloaded the latest version of flash player from Adobe, but still does not work. Does anyone have any suggestions or have you had the same problem???

The Network Utilization for the Public Network card in a Dedicated Game Server is usually steady at 6%, but it keeps dropping to .6% every minute or so, sometimes twice in a minute.. other times it can go for a few minutes without dropping... is there something wrong with the card or what could be causing this or what can fix this?.. the users are reporting some Lag in gameplay and I believe it is related..

I have three companies all connected by IPSec VPN. We are all on the same domain. Each building has a domain controller. Building A is the main headquarters. The print queues are on the fileserver (member server) there. Building B and C have a single server that is acting as there domain controller and file/print server. Everything is working fine except when you go to add a new printer I only see the printers in the main headquarters. If I reboot the domain controllers in building B or C the printer show up for a period of time and then drop off. I have restarted the print spooler in each location but this does not help. I have done this before w…

Migration errors and Domain Rename questions
by Guest David T- 0 replies
- 183 views
I have 2 Windows 2003 domains with a 2-way trust established. I am trying to use ADMT to migrate one domain into the other. The domains share the same namespace, however in actuality they are not part of the same tree. I think this is part of the problem. The domains are "abc.local" (#1) and "md.abc.local" (#2). I can make the administrator of #1 a member of the domain admins in #2 but can not make the administrator of #2 a member of the domain admins in #1. I am considering renaming #2 to "md.local" so they don't share the same namespace. (1) Would this solve my ADMT problem? (2) In a domain rename, are the local user profiles migrated (i.e., when…
