Access-based enumeration - Any fix for interactive login/terminal services?
by Guest Eric Young- 0 replies
- 156 views
Hello, One of the longstanding limitations I have faced with Access-based enumeration is that is does not work for interactive logins or terminal services logins when accessing the file/folder structure directly from the drives. It works great for server shares, though. I was curious if anyone has come across a "fix" for this? Or, perhaps this is addressed in Server 2008 (?). Thank you, Eric

I've recently set up a Windows 2003 Server SP2 enterprise system to handle SQL Server 2005 connections to data bases. The Windows server is on a WorkGroup - not a domain, and I've set it up as an application server. I installed SQL Server 2005 Enterprise, I ran the services configuration tool and set it to allow both local and remote connections, and to use tcp/ip. I can see the Windows server pn the network, and can access the default shared printer folder, but that's it. I can't seem to access SQL Server at all, and no matter what I do keep getting this error message: An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server. When …

Hi, I have this interesting problem and hope someone can help me out. I am running Windows 2003 server as the a file server and use an external 160G USB hard disk for data backup. The external drive is formatted using NTFS. The problem is whenever I connected the drive to the server, the OS won't recognize the NTFS partition. It see it as a basic disk with raw file system. However, I can still copy file back and forth to the external drive. Since Windows doesn't recognize the file system, it then doesn't assign a drive letter to it automatically when the drive is connected. I have to manually assign a drive letter every time I connect the drive to…

I would like to setup file auditing on our file server to see who is deleting files. We are using Server 2003 Enterprise which is the domain controller. Here is the problem. I go into the Group Policy Editor and enable auditing on "Audit Object Access." Then I add the ACL on the certain folder on want to watch. In my security log, I get a new entry every half second barking about successful registry changes. This machine has never been touched in terms of setting up auditing. I have gone to "regedit" and looked at the permissions on each root folder. No auditing seems to be set at the root. What can I do to stop the auditing of the registry? Is there an eas…

Windows 2003 Print Server Problems
by Guest TuxEdu- 4 replies
- 382 views
I have a Windows 2003 R2 Print Server setup. There are approximately 300 networked printers configured on this server. The printers range from dell, HP, Sharp, and others. The print spooler is on its own harddrive for performance reasons. The problem I am having is the server tends to just stop printing print jobs. You have to restart the printer spooler in order to have the server function. There isn't anything that I see in the event logs that would point me in the right direction. Things are pretty normal in the event logs. I am not sure what is causing this and it tends to happen pretty randomly. Thank you for any help you may offer.

Conigure Client with Printer and Share Automatically
by Guest Dickie- 3 replies
- 304 views
Is it possible to run active client setup, which will automatically connect and install certain devices onto a client desktop. I would rather not srcipt this as it will be device relevant and not user specified. I know this is a w2k3 group, but in SBS you can assign client apps and any printer in the AD listing is installed at the client. Can something like this be done on W2k3. All clients will be XP Pro. Many thanks

Losing Folder Redirection?
by Guest Dabwang4363- 3 replies
- 326 views
We have folder redirection setup so that users Desktop and My Documents are located on the server. we have a GPO that sets this. Occasionally some laptop users come in and they dont have access to their documents, the target of their My Documents folder is now local, C:\documents and settings\...... a GPUPDATE /FORCE fixes this when connected to the network. It only happens with the odd laptop user and is happening on 2 seperate sites, one of which is a brand new network. we have the options set so that this is still processed over a slow network and its still happening. Any ideas? thanks Nigel
