Domain Trusts and synch of roaming profiles
by Guest pete0085- 3 replies
- 329 views
Can we add a 2nd domain controller in Branch 2 (branch2.mycompany.com) so that the users there would login to that domain instead of logging into the domain across the WAN? With a lot of staff moving between branch 1 and branch 2, could we synchronize the roaming profiles from the User Profile folders between the 2 domain controllers so they would still have the same desktop and settings if they logged on to the Branch1 Domain or the Branch2 domain. If we added a DC in branch 3 too, could we synchronize roaming profiles between the three? I think we would somehow need to replicate all the user accounts and groups to the new DC, because of all o…

Wierd roaming profile problem
by Guest user 76- 4 replies
- 393 views
Hi all, I'm getting a really odd roaming profile issue that only affects one user when they use one particular pc. When they log off, the roaming profile doesn't get updated on the server. However, if they log onto another machine, the roaming profile gets copied down and back OK and if I log on to the problem machine with a test account, the roaming profile gets copied down and back OK. The users permissions are no different to all of the other users who do not have any problems. Machines are a mix of 2K/XP, server is 2003 R2. User is only using 2K workstations. Any thoughts? Bill

SMTP Smart Host No longer connects!
by Guest Joel- 3 replies
- 305 views
In the past, without particularly understanding how it works I've had fairly good luck setting up an smtp service on a win2k3 machine so that some applications we use could successfully send out emails for notifications. I've always defined a smart host on the default smtp site properties. Well, it seems that in one location the email notifications stopped working a few months ago. And now I'm trying to figure out how to get it working again and why it stopped working in the first place. In order to do this I need to first figure out where the problem is and on whose network the problem actually is. Our server is located on our customer's site and the…

by Guest boe- 1 reply

Hello, I'm running Windows 2003 R2 X64 SP2. I look at services and VS is set for automatic. No copies are made at the scheduled time. I notice even though it is set for automatic it isn't running so I right click and start the service. I check and the VS copies aren't made at the scheduled time - daily each volume is different - about 15 minutes starting at 6:45 AM - (we start work about 9:30 AM) Backups complete around 5:30 AM. I click on create now and it will make a VS copy of that volume. Each volume is set to enable - I tried disabling, setting a new shedule and enabling - no luck. I check the event view but don't see any errors…

DVD Burner not compatible with 2003 server?
by Guest Tom- 1 reply
- 199 views
I just installed a fresh copy of SBS 2003 using a DVD burner to load the windows disks. After windows was installed I noticed that no CD's were being read properly by the DVD burner. I replaced the DVD burner with a regular CDROM drive and the disks were reading fine. Figuring I had a bad DVD burner, I purchased a brand new one and installed it only to find the problem also occured with the new burner. Is there some type of compatibility issue here with windows? The DVD burner is dual layer if that makes any difference. Please help. Thanks

unknown program creating osc file eating up disk space
by Guest joe vaughan- 7 replies
- 497 views
I have a process that fires off on the 1st of every month. I can't locate where it's coming from, or who made it. My Trend anti-virus doesn't detect it as a virus. It's a process that continually renames itself something different every time it runs. It creates a random file name ending in .osc in my windows\temp directory. It eats up all my free space on my c:\ drive, causing my print jobs and other tasks to fail. I'm able to identify the process because it's an exe that's also put into the windows\temp directory. Today the exe name is YYB6A4.exe. Every month the exe icon is a dog. I kill the process, then delete the osc file. It appears to laun…

As previously described: Subject: FTP download failure - fails at exactly the same point in the transfer file. Date: Mon, 17 Dec 2007 17:10:02 GMT Message-ID: <01d785b7$0$21126$c3e8da3@news.astraweb.com> The ftp.exe program I was using to get a daily copy of my backup database from the web server stopped working. My network admin blamed the server host. The server host tested the server and blamed our network or internet connection. Yesterday, after setting keep alive messages on in FileZilla, I was able to get a sucessful transfer. Could this be the problem: ftp uses 2 connections via different ports - a control and a transfer connection. …

Hello there, I have a question concerning answer files. When I Extract Setupmgr.exe from deploy.cab from the Tools folder on WIN2K3, Setupmgr comes up just fine to make the answer file. The thing that I do not get under the Advanced Settings is the Windows Components that you are supposed to get so you can automate which Components to turn on and off. You are supposed to be able to do this in Windows 2003 unlike in 2002 where you had to manually add in the components part of the answer (.sif) file. Much appreciated.

- 254 views
Dear All, here's my problem (I am probably missing a very simple step): I am running Win2003 server, one partition (system & data), and there is an MSDE SQL server on it that came with the backup software. No other services like Exchange or so installed. I have enabled Volume Shadow Copies on C: with schedule settings: Daily, Start Time 13:30, Schedule Task Daily every 1 Day(s). However, the "Shadow copies of selected volume" shows only the shadow copies I created manually using the "Create Now" button. Event log show no raleted entries. Any help would be very welcome!

I have a Windows 2003 Server folder that I want to share to everyone without them having to login. I added "Anonymous Logon" to folder's security (Read & Execute, List Folder Contents and Read permissions), created the share and added "Anonymous Logon" with read permissions.
