Swap File Question
by Guest supersonic_oasis- 1 reply
- 284 views
Hi all, I have a 64bit Windows 2003 R2 machine. It is an exchange server, and it is starting to run out of space on the C: drive (only 2.6 GB left). Pretty much the only thing that puts files on the C: drive are Windows Updates. I was thinking about making some changes to the swap file to make some room. The server has 32GB of RAM. The swap files are currently setup as follows: C: 2046-4092 MB E: 2046-49149 MB My question is this: What if I change the size of the swap partition on the C: drive to say...300MB? That would give me plenty of room, as the swap file is currently taking up 2.5GB. Is it safe to do this? Any help is appreciated, th…

Hello, I have a problem with Windows 2008 and the new server backup. First, everything works fine and the bakcup run every day (for several weeks). The last few days I have a problem with the backup.

Error running scheduled task, Windows Server 2008
by Guest Joe Grover- 4 replies

I am setting up a new fileserver on a Windows Server Standard 2008 machine. The machine is currently running in evaluation mode. I installed it on 9/11/2008. On our existing fileserver we have a data replication script that copies data from remote office fileshares to the local system for backup every night. I have copied the script to the new fileserver, making one change to the path (the target for copied files is on the C: drive instead of the D: drive now). Here is the script: robocopy \\aa-dc1.company.local\share c:\datamirrors\AA /R:3 /MIR > AA.Log robocopy \\gr-dc1.company.local\share c:\datamirrors\GR /R:3 /MIR > GR.Log robocopy \\tc-1…

DHCP Question
by Guest Glenn- 2 replies
- 284 views
If this isn't the appropriate newsgroup, please let me know which one is. I have a Windows 2003 Server that I use as a DHCP (amongst its other roles). The computers in all departments get their IP addresses from it. I'm looking to change that a bit. I want each department to have its own pool of IP addresses available. I can setup my switches so that each is on its own VLAN. I'm just not sure how to setup the DHCP server so that the scopes are tied to a particular VLAN when the server itself only has one connection to the switch. Hopefully I'm clear here with what I want to do..if not please ask. Thanks.

how to stop spoolsv.exe creating ppr###.tmp files or deleting themafter the process closes For some reason the spoolsv.exe files is creating tmp files whenever we print via the file server. however the files are never deleted which leads to the c drive filling up over time. Anyone have any ideas on how to change this. I tried changing the spooler temp directory under printer an faxes server properties many with no luck. Adter using FileMon I was able to see that spoolsv.exe was responsible for creating the file but never deletes them. C:\WINDOWS\system32\spoolsv.exe

Copying large quantity of files taking forever
by Guest SwitchKat- 6 replies

Hi, I wanted to throw this question out because after losing over a week of productivity, I'm not sure where else to turn. Here's my issue. We're trying to restore a file repository for a project that has just under 2 million files. We've tried restoring from tape, copying from another Windows server and even moving from another Windows server. The problem we run into in every case is that the file copy to the new system takes off fast and we can see file transfer rates start out copying 1000's of files per second, but over time it always slows down to a crawl and we end up where we are now. We are currently transferring one file every few minutes. …
