Windows 2003 Operations Master Roles
by Guest mcpp66- 0 replies
- 185 views
I'm currently studying for the MCSE cert and was hoping that someone could help me to understand the Infrastructure Master role. The MSPress book says that if the Infrastructure role is on the same server as the Global Catalog, that the Infrastructure role will not function because it will never find any data that is out of date. Can someone explain why this happens? Thank you.

We have a Windows 2003 Server Std with Exchange 2003. We are looking to promote an addition server (Windows 2003 R2). We tried to run adprep.exe /forestprep on the current domain controller from the Windows 2003 R2 installation disk 2, but receive the following error: 'schupgr.exe' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

We have a single domain with several locations connected together via a WAN. One user in one location is having problems accessing any network shares on one server. Anytime she tries to access a file or printer on this server it prompts for a username/password. Once she enters her credentials she can connect to the resources with no problems. If she logs off and back on she must re-enter her credentials to access the server. She is logging onto the domain. She can access other servers in the domain with no problems and without being prompted for her credentials again. Other users can log on to her PC and access the same server normally, although the acc…

Setting Metabase File Permissions
by Guest learner- 0 replies
- 192 views
Permissions and auditing on the metabase file (%systemroot%system32\inetsrv\metbase.xml or metabase.bin) on all our web servers must be set so that the local IUSR_ and IWAM_ accounts are explicitly denied ALL permissions and all failure events are captured to the Security log. I modify these settings accordingly on several boxes but when I run an audit (within 10 minutes of modification) to verify, all permission and audit settings have reverted back to previous settings. According to our domain admins, there is no GPO doing this. Any ideas?

Losing network shares across multiple machines on Windows 2003
by Guest Agrippa- 7 replies
- 527 views
I am running Windows Server 2003 R2 SP1 on a domain with approximately 50 users all with Windows XP SP2. There is a domain controller and a backup domain controller. Periodically throughout the day random, but only one at a time, XP machines will lose access to the network shares while all other machines can continue to happily use the network. Network shares map to more than just one file server - ie, drive X will map to computer1 while drive Y will map to computer2. The user will lose access to ALL network shares. They will still be able to ping the computers by IP address or computer name, but the shared drive will say that it cannot connect and using the UNC …

Question re: workspaces (sessions)?
by Guest rick- 0 replies
- 189 views
(I cross-posted this to the Access General forum but it is more a question for those who understand the fundamentals of server technology.) I am unclear on the concept (maybe) ...? I have a Windows2003 SBS and have connected a full Win2003 server to the SBS domain to function as an app server. We maintain all our company data (User Data Files and databases) on the SBS. Users connect to the App Server to run programs against the databases (Crystal Reports, Web Time Off, etc.). I developed an Access database some years ago (Access2003) and it is still running at a dozen or so sites in town. The database has been split into an FE and a BE. I would like t…

PST File Locks
by Guest bitbt- 2 replies
- 271 views
We are having a problem where PST files are getting locked and users can not connect to them. There are two exact issues that do not seem to relate to each other. 1) Old sessions are not disconnecting after a specific idle time. Users are staying connected for days and weeks and while they may get disconnected their sessions are not closing out correctly and it locks their pst files. We delete the old session and they work just fine. 2) User's PST files are getting locked and are not avalible. We have try and touch the file in some way multiple times. I attempt to copy a pst file 1 to 20 times it might fail once and then let me copy or may fail 20 ti…

We have a Windows 2003 Server Enterprise server that does everything for us, including DC, Exchange Server, File Server, Web Server, DHCP, etc. We just replaced the hardware with a new Dual 2000 Mhz Quad Xeon Processors with 4GB RAM. The operating system is set to optimize background services and system cache. I also have 3 Raid 5 drives and 1 Mirrored Drive with at least 2 GB each setup as virtual disks that are managed by the operating system. I have had several occasions (once every few days) where I am moving between applications and all of a sudden the server "freezes", sometimes for more than a minute, before releasing and allowing me to navi…

- 259 views
First - thanks for any suggestions. Little background - I have an application that relies heavily on a share on a file server. Looking for a Disaster Recovery plan if the server goes away. Yes ideally you would bring the server back and all is well. Looking for immeadiate DR solution. What I would like to be able to do. 1. Copy all the files from server to local computers 2. Create share local 3. Trick computer into thinking the local PC is the remote server. Figured this would be easy enough using a hostfile entry as such 127.0.0.1 servername Ping server name works, but UNC still tries to hit the server. Took the PC off the network, re…
