Hi All Our school has 4 identical Fujitsu laptops running WinXP Pro SP2 / NTFS file sys, but I cannot get one of them to see our server via UNC.

Google Earth 2007 and Vista - Bad Install
by Guest PaulC- 5 replies
- 394 views
Each time I try to open Google Earth after I download it, it just hangs. Sometimes if I wait long enough (more than 5 minutes) the program will open. Once it hangs I often have to do a forced shutdown since Task Manager won't come up for me to exit Google Earth. Can someone tell me what's wrong with this install. I've installed Earth several times to no avail (after uninstalling Earth each time). The last time I turned off my CA firewall before I downloaded the file.

IIS timeout
by Guest Mha- 2 replies
- 279 views
We have some .net web services running on Win2003 Web edition IIS. From time to time we get from a Perl script that is contacting web services on this IIS server some time out. Checking network connectivity and other HW issues we found no problems, so there must be some kind of a problem on IIS that is running this web service. How can we approach to this problem and try to figure it out what could cause this timeouts? Thank you in advance. Regards,Miha

Problems with activating IIS on Win2k3 R2 Standard Server?
by Guest Laphan- 2 replies
- 209 views
Hi All Authority who supplied us with a Win2k3 R2 Standard Server, don't appear to have installed IIS as there is no inetpub folder in the C drive or IIS admin in the Admin Tools section. Would like to create an intranet based web app using IIS and say MSDE or MySQL, but don't know if there any implications in activating IIS on the server - does anybody have any experience or know of any probs in doing this?

ADMT Errors
by Guest David T- 0 replies
- 187 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 they are not part of the same secuity boundary. 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 #2 but can not make the administrator of #2 a member of #1. As I understand it, this is a requirement. I am considering renaming #2 to "md.local" so they don't share the same namespace. any thoughts?

Hi, I've just created a DFS name space and a folder within this on a Windows Server 2003 R2 Standard Edition server but when I try to access the folder from a client machine it gives me the following error: '\\server1.domain.com\storage\folder1 is not accessible. you might not have permissions to use this network resource. - The network path was not found.' However I can access \\server1.domain.com\storage\ without problems. I have checked the NTFS permissions and can't see anything wrong (have even tried giving Full Control to Everyone to no avail) Has anyone come across this before? Thanks.

Our office allows wireless access to the internet for visiting clients. This week one of the clients came in with a virus that sent out huge amounts of junk mail from his laptop, the sheer volume crippled everybodys access to email and the internet. It took me ages to identify the cause of the problem. 1) How do I prevent a reocurrence? Internet cafes manage this problem somehow. 2) We presently have 30 computers hooked up to our Windows 2003 Server box, but the company is rapidly expanding, and that number will be 100+ within the next 6 months. I've no training as a sytem administrator, although I've been landed with the job. Which forums/text books wi…

We have a Dell server running stand-aloneWin2003 Web Edition with 2 network adapters. One private IP is assigned to first NIC, the other is temporary disabled.

Everything i have read says you need a floppy disk to create the ASR set.

I am taking a networking class at the moment, and I have gotten pretty bogged down with lots of the jargon and am a little at my wits end. As of right now, I have "hospital" that I am constructing a logical network for. In one module we were given a list of servers and each department that they were found in. Now, five Modules down the road, We are given a list of departments, a list of the duties that they fulfill on a daily basis, and what their requirements are. My task is to decide, based on what info I am given, on how many servers they need, what type of server they will be (clustered, mirrored), the bandwidth requirements (that is least consequence …

Two ADS related questions
by Guest pdx- 0 replies
- 167 views
I'm working on setting up ADS to build HP servers. I have captured an image and can deploy that image to the same hardware platform. What I want to do is use that base image to image other types of HP servers and to do so I need to make other drivers available but I'm unsure as to where to locate the files...should I create some sort of sysprep subfolder and point to it in the sysprep.inf file. Or is there somewhere within the ADS folder tree where drivers can be placed? What's the most efficient way to use the base image to image multiple server models? I'm planning to use a WinPE image to boot to and run an HP array config tool as part of the server bu…

Is it necessary to rename a domain controller for reverse dns
by Guest Adam V.- 3 replies
- 241 views
Hello: I have a customer who had another consultant install Active Directory and Exchange on the same server. They used, as the domain name, BDL.local and the full computer name: bdas01.BDL.local. They've had some issues with Exchange, and I recently noticed they never setup a PTR for reverse DNS. I contacted their ISP to do this, but they need a valid mail server name. As far as I can tell, the mail server (which is the same server as the domain controller) is named bdas01.BDL.local. Unfortunately, their public domain name is bennettdesign.com. I would think the IP address of their mail server would need to resolve to a server name that has bennett…

Automated backup/mirroring
by Guest DW- 2 replies
- 206 views
Windows Server 2003 Enterprise, 5 users I am running a SCSI RAID system with internal 15k U320 hard drives. I recently added an eSata RAID box with mirrored hard drives. At the end of each day, I manually copy the SCSI data to the eSata system. However, I would prefer to have the SCSI data continuously copied to the eSata system Does Windows 2003 have that capability? If not, can anyone suggest a reliable 3rd party software package that will accomplish my objective, hopefully without taking a performance hit?

Allow a network adator to use a non-domain dhcp server
by Guest Gwylim Austin- 0 replies
- 160 views
Hi, I am trying to setup two servers for some testing, one to act as a DC the other an Internet gateway. The DC seems to be running fine with all necessary roles installed (including a DHCP server). However the Gateway is unable to connect it to its internet connection when it is logged onto the domain. When logged on with the local account it works fine. I read somewhere that this is to do with the fact that the server is not allowed to get its internet IP address due to the fact that it is from a non-domain DHCP server. Is this correct, and how do I go about altering this restriction for just this one adaptor. Many thanks in advance. Gwylim Aus…

Memory Leak-Poolmon/Process Explorer Question
by Guest compsosinc@gmail.com- 0 replies
- 167 views
We are using SBS2000 -- not 2003 we know--but thought we would post to this group since the question could be relative to Server 2003. In the last 3 weeks we began to have a memory leak in the non-paged pool in which the server would have to be rebooted after exactly 1 week to the day & within a 3-hour timeframe. We ran poolmon.exe to help pinpoint the culprit and have collected data over a 4 day period. In poolmon three are (2) suspect tags: THre File We now want to run Process Explorer v11.04 to narrow down the offending process(s), etc. Based on the above tags, what do we look for in Process Explorer? Thanks!
