Folder Redirection fails on only some machines
by Guest Dabwang4363- 2 replies
- 261 views
Hi everyone, this has been puzzling me for a while now and i cant find a solution. This only seems to happen to laptop users who disconnect their machines from the network frequently. i myself have a laptop which is permantly connected and i never get this error. Sometimes one of these users will log onto the network and their folder redirection is not pointing to the usual server location but to the standard c:\documents and settings\..... The only way to get this back is to do a GPUPDATE /FORCE and this doesnt always work first time. the only 2 common factors that i have found is that this sometimes happens when the user has changed their domain p…

I have a few workstations, not all of them, that randomly start getting security failures in their event logs, rebooting the main server and the workstations often takes care of it, but not always.

Shared Fax Service Question
by Guest Igor Pinchevskiy- 0 replies
- 202 views
Hello Everyone, I got a quick question, we have a 2003 server R2 SP2 Standard edition, and I know it comes with shared fax service where you can send and recieve faxes, what we're interested in is in receiving faxes and forwarding it to email, from what I can tell is its only possible to send faxes to 1 email account, if we add more lines and modems to the server than can we forward each modem/fax to a specific email account? If yes do you suggest using separate modems for each line or one of those multi modems? Thank you in advance! Igor Pinchevskiy

generic host error
by Guest khaled azzaz- 0 replies
- 202 views
Hi I have a windows 2003 SP2 server as a member server that has exchange server 2003 installed on it. For some reason the system files were over-written by some installation. that caused a generic host error by some DLL files and it wil not allow me to see the netwrok. I tried to replaced the DLL files with no success, I tried to re-install SP2 for windows server 2003, that is when this installtion indicates that some system files were repalced by different version. but, the SP2 installation stoped saying that RPC services is nopt runing, eventhough it is runing. how can i check which files were replaced and how do i correct them back?

Convert Physical to Virtual
by Guest Thom Paine- 3 replies
- 322 views
I'm having some issues with my Windows 2003 R2 server and am at the point to refresh it and start anew. It takes forever to boot up, and seems slow. Considering it's a Dell Poweredge 2850 with 5 146G 10k rpm SCSI drives, this server should smoke. I've ran the dcdiag and netdiag and everything checkes out ok. Since this is my only real physical server, has anyone converted a physical to a virtual while they refreshed a server? I need next to zero downtime during the switchover from physical to virtual, and have a PC ready to accept all the data for the virtual server. Looking for feedback on anyone who has tried anything similar to this. Thanks.

Hi, I have some strange problem. There's network connctivity issues between 2 sites. I got the error "the specified network name is no longer available" when I connect using hostname/IP address.

Do you guys think it is network related issues or the AD giving problem? Thanks. The netstat -s …

Upgrade Windows 2003 SP1 to R2
by Guest Mark- 2 replies
- 285 views
Hey Everyone, I wish to install R2. My understanding is that I can do this directly from CD2? We have 4 DC's spanning across 3 sites with Exchange and SQL. Do I just need to upgrade the Schema for our domain once, then run R2 installation from CD2 on all servers or just the one? If anyone know any good articles that be great as I am finding it hard to locate some articles for upgrade Windows 2003 SP1 DC's to RC2. Cheers, Mark

WSUS configuration
by Guest mc123- 3 replies
- 362 views
Hi, I am working with WSUS, and from what I understand a group of computers that are linked to a WSUS server must either download from MS or from WSUS. I am trying to figure the best way when I have two group of computers and I want one group to download updates from WSUS while another download from MS. Will I need two seperate WSUS server to accomplish this? If so does this have to be two physical boxes? Thanks.

Hi Folks, I'm stumped, I've got an odd problem that just showed up. I run SBS 2003 and we have it sitting in behind a Nortel Router and it works fine. I have a VPN setup so people can login and get to their files on the shared folders from home. For some reason this no longer works, if I take a new XP Pro box, set it up and put it on it's own subnet and create the same old VPN connection, it WILL connect just fine as far as I can see but I can't see any of the shared folders on the network. All of my old connections on other systems can connect and see my shared folders just fine as usual, but if I try to add a new PC on now it does not wor…

I am receiving the following error pop-up nearly every 30 seconds or so on my Windows 2003 Web Server. Runtime Error! Program: This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way. Please contact the application's support team for more information. There is no program listed, so I have been searching under Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library. There are also no entries in the Event Log that seem to match with this error pop-up. Does anyone have any suggestions as to where I might look to find what application is causing the error? Donovan Ridenour IT Specialist

Synchronizing ~to~ the server, not from?
by Guest justmark- 2 replies
- 208 views
Our users currently work live off of the server for all of their applications. Unfortunately, with the size files (e.g. autocad) they use, our network is being cranky and they're losing their connections, resulting in lost data. We have everybody set up with Offline files, to synch down to their My Documents when they shut down. Additionally, we have .pst files that we need to keep backed up. So, here's my question: we are considering doing this backwards - work on the live files locally and then synch them back up to the server. Basically, we want their My Documents to synch to the server when they shut down, rather than going the other direction, l…

I have 300 pc's broken up in various OU's broken down by geography. I would like to access the properties of each machine, "managed by" tab and assign someone rights to manage those pc's. The question is can this be done in one fell-swoop or faster than right clicking each individual pc? Thanks
