   Hi, I have W2K3 SP2 Standard server running SQL 2000 standard. I was trying to specify a non SA account to run SQL Server Agent jobs but when I entered the username and password of the account I got the following error. An I/O operation initiated by the Registry failed unrecoverably. The Registry could not read in, or write out, or flush, one of the files that contain the system's image of the Registry. The Event ID is 333 On closer examination of the system log I noticed that i was getting this error 60-70 times a minute and had been doing so for several weeks. Can anyone throw any light on this problem? Thanks in advance

A policy is in effect on your computer which prevents you from connecting to this print queue. Please contact your system administrator. What should I do? Thanks, T

   So when ever anyone logs into their machine (WInXP SP1, WInXP SP2, Win Vista, Win2003 Server, they all get a Spooler Subsystem Error. This happened after I set up some printers to be deployed via Group Policy. I deployed several Pinters and tested them and they all print fine. So I deleted the Originals that were installed. In some cases the user has to manually restart the spooler service, though most of the time printing continues as normal All of the Printers that are deployed are on a Win2008 32bit server. Below is the info on the Crash. Thanks, szAppName : spoolsv.exe szAppVer : 5.2.3790.3959 szModName : localspl.dll szModVer :…

   I'm trying to test creating a Namespace (accounting) on SRV1 with R2 and SRV2 with R2 also they are the only servers with that version currently. I'm creating the namespace on SRV1 but if I select Domain-based namespace I get the following error: \\Domain.com\accounting cannot be added. The specified domain either does not exist or could not be contacted. If I select Stand-alone namespace it creates fine. Can someone help me? We would like to have fault tolerance if SRV1 goes down we can still access the files from SRV2. Thanks

   Many Robocopy and cmd processes

   Hello, We are using Robocopy on on Windows 2003 servers. We have 8 Robocopy processes - yet 10 show up in task manager. We also find out Robocopy fails occasionally - so we restart it - but then see multiple robocopy and cmd.exe in the the task manager as well. Instead of 8 processes - we found about 50 at one point, an nothing was being copies. So now every day, I check the server. And kill processes and restart. But this is not efficient. Anyone else experience this? Suggestions? Thanks, Tmuld.

    Need Recommendations for Virtualization on a 32bit system

    I'm running Server 2008 on an older (P4 1.8gz, 1gig of RAM) PC (used in a lab environment only). I've tried VMWare, which seems to permanently disable autoplay/autorun. The system requirements for Virtual PC 2007 don't include Server 2008. Can anyone recommend an add-on virtualization software to be able to test other OS's?

    Network share: What causes " ~ $files" temp files?

    March 19, 2008 by Guest pez

    We run 2000 server. We have a network share that all our users have Full Control for. They also have read, write and modify NTFS permissions. Why are temp files constantly being created on this share? It seems that if someone views a file even if they close it properly a temp file is sometimes created. I can not seem to reproduce this "action" on purpose. But if I monitor the folder new ~ $ or temp files are created every day or so. Any ideas?

    Every 10 seconds my 64-bit Windows 2003 R2 SP2 domain controller logs an event ID 1023 error in the application event log. The error says "Windows cannot load extensible counter DLL xxxxx, the first DWORD in data section is the Windows error code." Where "xxxx" = Ugather, UGTHRSVC or MSSCNTRS Googled this error and found nothing except a blog frustration at not being able to find it. The perflib errors are piling up at the rate of three every 10 seconds. Does anyone know what this is and how to stop the error from appearing?

    Hi all. Looking for a quick answer: I have a client with a Terminal Server with TS licensing installed on the TS itself. Because the TS is malfunctioning, we are replacing it, but before doing so we need to install TS Licensing on the domain controller and migrate the licenses. Can anyone tell me the easiest way to do this so as to ensure we don't lose the previously activated licenses? Thanks in advance! Jamie
