Unexpected shutdown..
by Guest Hassan- 5 replies
- 429 views
We have Windows 2003 x64 and our server just go through a restart and the only thing in the eventlog worth a highlight is "The previous system shutdown at 2:09:10 AM on 12/16/2007 was unexpected. " There are no memory dumps as well. How do we go about finding out whats causing our servers to go through this unexpected shutdown. No one says they have done anything and its been like 4 times now. They reside in the data center. I guess I wanted to know what can contribute to such shutdowns. I would think some bugcheck or something would be out there, but its clean. Any other possible causes and if not, any other way to trap it the next time it happen…

External Time
by Guest BigSam- 7 replies

I've configured one of my W2k3 domain controllers to use an external time, according to this artice: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/816042 In step 4 I set the values for NTPServer to Time.Windows.com,0x1. I stopped & restarted the time service according to the article & then attempted to resync the time with the following command: w32tm /resync /rediscover. This gave the following response: 'The computer did not resync because no time data was available'. Questions: Can I specify more than one external time source, and if Yes, how? Did I use an incorrect command to resync the time? What is the correct command? How can I be sure I've the correct ti…

Hi, We're looking for a good counter to monitor network load. Using counters from the Network Interface object don't work - you have to supply the NIC name and we are creating a template for all our servers. In the server object we have found Bytes Transmitted/sec, along with the other two for recieved and total. They are returning 0's, but they should be showing some activity. Are there any configuration changes that need to be made to get these going. I ask because I remember reading about changing a setting to get disk activity monitoring going. Thanks for your help. -sam

FYI: Faxing Fails after Windows Update
by Guest TheMammothMan- 0 replies
- 179 views
I have a dedicated 2003 SP2 print server with a fax modem installed running under a 2000/2003 mixed-mode domain. The 2000 DC has the FSMO roles. I recently approved for installation updates: KB942615 KB928416 KB928365 KB941568 KB941569 KB944653 KB942763 via my WSUS3 server. Afterwards, my users could not fax and my symptoms were slightly similar to KB842207 in that permissions were denied on accessing the fax properties, fax service, and configuring fax. I uninstalled and reinstalled the fax service and adjusted the group policies that were listed on my 2000DC. Finally, I uninstalled the updates listed above and service was restored. TMM.

Server 2003 in Virtual Server
by Guest lunarpc- 0 replies
- 273 views
Hi, I'm trying to install Server 2003 in a Virtual Server 2005 r2. The server hosting VS is Server 2003. I had no problems installing W2K3 on the host system. Now I want a virtual server 2003. The installation is failing during the text portion. It is catastrophic failure....It can not copy a file and then throws out an error code 18. I did a search on error code 18...it may have something to do with device drivers. Problems is there is nothing special about this system. So my guess is that the install is having a problem with the Virtual Server drivers. Does anyone have any ideas or experience to share on this?

New static IP, AD and SBS2003 Exchange??
by Guest WetBehindEars- 2 replies
- 254 views
Our ISP just dished out a new static IP for us and now our email does not work. What do we need to do to correct this issue? I do know the company that hosts our MX records have updated the new address a few days ago, but do we need to do something in AD or on our router/firewall?? Is there a setting in Exchange where we have to take out the old static IP and insert the new static IP? Thanks for your time. Thanks again!

'Access Denied' copying between computers
by Guest berry.lindsay@gmail.com- 0 replies
- 180 views
OK, here's the scenario. I have a Server 2003 Active Directory domain. I have two computers on the domain. Same user, a domain admin, is logged into both computers. Whenever I attempt to copy from the 'my documents' folder on one computer to the other, using the administrative share (c$) I get the 'access denied' message. The My Documents folder is encrypted using NTFS encryption. I have tried initiating the copy from one computer then the other. While logged in on only one, both, or none. I have tried initiating the copy from a 3rd computer, no go. The user has a home directory on the server, he can copy freely between the My Documents and the home di…

Copying only newer files with Robocopy
by Guest Tom Reis- 8 replies
- 532 views
We have a Novell server that we are migrating to aWindows 2003 server. We have already ran Robocopy about 1 month to copy all the data for testing. We have all the rights setup for the new Windows 2003 server and want to preserve them. What we are hoping to do is to run Robocopy to copy over only the files that have changed on the Novell server to the Windows 2003 server. What would be the command for doing this?

users for remote desktop connections
by Guest ZenMasta- 5 replies
- 397 views
I had a question about remote desktop. I have been able to connect to my server win2003 with the same user up to 2 concurrent sessions. I don't need more then 2 sessions, but I wanted to know how to make a non admin user account so 2 people could connect to use a program? Unlike win xp there is not a user accounts item in control panel. I tried making a new user from computer management, and putting that user in the remote desktop users group but that didn't work. Thanks

ADMT V2 Migrating a WIN NT4 Domain
by Guest Paul Hesse- 3 replies
- 301 views
I have a old NT4 DC and intend to migrate its directory services "Users+passwords" to a new WIN2003 R2 Server. If I configure the new 2003 server as a domain controller and run admt to migrate users+passwords to the new DC from the old NT4 dc will admt demote the NT4 DC to a bdc or will it simply copy the user accounts to the new 2003 DC. My thinking is that it will just copy the UID's and PWD to the new controller so in essence users could log into the new domain or continue to log into the old NT4 domain without issue. Any insight most welcome as I was unable to find any specifics in the docs. Thanks. Paul.

Allowing non-"Print Operators" to manage printers
by Guest wouter.sonneveldt@gmail.com- 1 reply
- 209 views
Hello all, On some of our sites, the Domain Controller, Print Server and File Server roles have been consolidated into one server. We want to be able to give IT-staff of the Business Units enough rights to manage printers (add, remove, share) on those servers, but we don't want to add them to the domain-wide "Printer Operators" or "Server Operators" group, because if we do that, they can manage all servers and not just the ones of their own sites. So what I would like to do is to create a group per Business Unit that is allowed to manage printers on that Business Unit's Domain Controllers. Does anyone know if that is possible? Regards, Wouter Sonneveldt

Adding a new IP address.. causes server downtime?
by Guest Kenny- 1 reply
- 201 views
Hi, I realise I must add a new IP address to my windows 2000 server for hosting another SSL site on a unique domain name on the same ssl port (443) of the same server. I already have several sites running on this server. Will I cause any downtime by adding a new IP address? Can I just go ahead and add the new IP address or could this cause the server to disconnect from the network? Many thanks, Kenny

Remote Desktop and Cut and Paste

Does anyone know how to resolve a problem with Cut and Pasting between one Remote Desktop session and the active desktop? It should work but for me it does not. I do a cut from a Word document inside the Remote session and then open my Notepad on my own (active) desktop to paste it but it does not paste....I've checked the Remote Desktop Options and Local Resources to make sure I have the drives selected.
