Server 2008 x64 And Shadow Copy Backups/DosDev
by Guest Saitir- 4 replies
- 242 views
Hi All We're using Server 2008 x64 Standard for running Exchange 2007 and SQL Server 2005 plus a few small COM application objects and a small amount of file serving. When it comes to backup time I have to say I was disappointed with the Server 2008 option of full drive only. Its useful to be able to do that, certainly, but its not the only kind of backup thats useful. So, I decided to go the Robocopy route - an excellent tool for anyone unfamiliar with it. All went fine until I got to the point of wanting to get the Exchange edb files backed up. Some quick reading later and the combination of VShadow and DosDev (create a shadow copy, then mo…

Hi all. I have a windows2003 server acting as a print server which shares out many printers for my domain users to map. However recently there was a motherboard failure and though i have a 4hours response contract for this server, it took a whole day to recover the server. And for the whole day many various department could not print to the respective printers. Hence my question is what kind of contigency you guys have for such print server. Thks in advance.

[W2K3]Empty desktop
by Guest PhilTheGap- 8 replies
- 268 views
Hi there, I need to constraint a user account on a W2K3 computer in order to: - launch an app when this account is accessed via Terminal server/Citrix - prevent the user to do something else: so the desktop must be empty, the Start menu also, Ctrl-Alt-Suppr must be impossible... This account will be a local server account. Is there security model for that ? Is applying a GPO the best solution ? Thanks for you help... Philippe

Windows Server 2008 GUI

Hi, I am now struggling with a number of the great improvements Microsoft did to Server 2008, in particular: - RegEdit don't have "closed" and "open" folders in the left treevew pane anymore. All folders regardless of state are just pale yellowish supposedly beautiful pieces of useless work. If the right pane (values) is selected, one can't tell which folder the values belong to. Is there any way to fix it and may get the old good 2003 icons? - WinMail panels now use 1 pixel wide splitters. To resize a panel, I now have to position the mouse exactly on that 1 pixel line, which is it least 5 times harder than in Server 2003. Have anyone tried to do i…

External and internal domains and DNS Server
by Guest muriwai- 2 replies
- 271 views
Hi, I have the company.com Internet domain which serves the company's public Internet website at http://www.company.com. The authoritative name server for this domain is somewhere in the Internet. Now I installed a new domain controller on Windows Server 2008 for a new internal domain which I called company.com as well. I guess it wasn't a wise decision because if I type http://www.company.com on a machine that belongs to the internal domain, the address can't be resolved. It's understandable because the domain controller has the DNS Server installed which knows nothing about the external company.com domain. Is it possible to configure the internal…

Hi Guys, Hope Im in the right group. Im in a stage of fixing my network. This is my current setup. 1. I have an active directory server, which is mydomain.com, wherein also my DNS and DHCP is located. 2. My subnet is 255.255.255.0 This is my idea. 1. Have these servers: (Need suggestions on these) a. AD Server with DNS Server - is this a good practice? b. DHCP Server with ISA Server - is this a good practice? Other concern: I want my network to have access limitations. Here is a scenario. 1. In our network, only managers can use their laptop to access our network and internet. It can be wired or wireless. Un…

I ordered an 8 processor, 32gig RAM server from Dell today and the pre- sales rep told me that Win2K8 x64 Standard was limited to having 4gig of memory per VM with standard and that to go above 4 gig I'd need the Enterprise version of Win2K8. I hadn't heard this before, is he correct? Thanks!
