Windows 2003 Backup Question
by Guest Brian- 4 replies
- 206 views
This may be a simple question.... I have a Windows 2003 SP2 machine, and I had a question about backup. When I do a scheduled backup every night, it gives me a file say backup1.bkf. The first night it works fine. But, on the second night, it also again backup up to backup1.bkf and just adds to that file. What I would like to have happen is night1 backup to backup1.bkf, then make a new file say backup2.bkf, the next night backup3.bkf. Is there any way to do this? I tried Append or replace backup selection, but it always saves to the same file. The only way I have found is to rename the file manually everynight. thanks!

Windows 2003 Domain, domain computers clocks off by an hour
by Guest Rowan- 2 replies
- 188 views
I just upgraded from a windows 2000 domain server, to windows 2003. The member computers on the domain all run windows 2000. For some reason all the computers on the domain are exactly one hour slow. When I run the following command via netlogon net time \\s3a-56dmz01.s3a-upland.mydomain.com /set /yes the 2000 computers all sync however they show the time zone as +7 as opposed to +8. I've gone through and verified everyones time zone and that of the server. The windows 2003 domain controller (s3a-56dmz01) is set up to sync with an external time server as per kb 816042. Any one have any ideas on this ?

Cannot see installed x86 print driver on x64 print server
by Guest Sandy Wood- 0 replies
- 145 views
We've got a x64 2003 R2 print server that we're adding x86 drivers to. We downloaded a Xerox Workcentre 255 PS WHQL driver and added it to the server for our 32-bit XP clients. When we attempt to configure a printer with it, under the advanced tab, when we try to select the driver from the pull-down, it's not there. It's visible in the Print Server properties dialog but not from the printer properties side. Couldn't find a Group Policy that may be blocking this. Anyone have any clues? -- Sandy Wood Orange County District Attorney

60 XP machines to join the server, some questions.
by Guest FFMG- 5 replies
- 257 views
Hi, I am 'managing' a school computer network with 60 computers dotted all over the place, (I use the term managing loosely). We have 30 computers in the computer lab for the students and 30 computers in various classrooms/offices. All the machines are currently Windows XP pro, (we got 60 licenses from Microsoft rather than a single volume license). A technician is coming to install a server, (new machine and MS Server 2003), I am not sure about the version yet but I know it is at least Windows 2003. I am guessing that the technician will do some of the basic work but I would also like to learn how to do some basic things myself. Also as we are on a budg…

Server 2008 Administrator permissions
by Guest Brock Hensley- 1 reply
- 151 views
Hello, On a Windows Server 2008 DataCenter edition box, we've made a new user called ServerAdmin and put it in the Administrators Group. Now, the original Administrator account works fine, but the ServerAdmin account has issues. If you right click on My Computer and try to go to Manage, it says permission denied. If you simply try to open the C drive, it says permission denied. Yet, I can go into the properties of the C drive and change them, after assigning ownership to the Administrators group. But even after changing the ownership (and yes Administrators group has full control on the drive) I get the permission denied error when trying to access the …

Hyper V and Guest with intermittent RDP connections
by Guest Mark Davis- 0 replies

I have a Dell 2950 running server 2008 X64 that is giving me a heck of a time getting guests to run properly. The first issue is RDP coonections seem to drop on the host for no reason, a reboot clears this sometimes. I removed the host machine from the domain and that seemed to fix that problem along with a limited connectivity error I was getting on the hosts brodcoms NICs. I have two 2008 guests and two 2003 guests and all four of them have this limited connectivity issue. They can be added to the domain and can access the internet but RDP sessions are intermittent. I disabled the firewall on all the guests with no luck. On my host server I have on…
