Logon Script - Share folder names not showing
by Guest Morne- 2 replies
- 270 views
Hi I have a logon script on an organisational unit in AD to map shared network folders. The script runs fine and shared folders are mapped, but sometimes during logon the sharenames disapear and are replace by the drive letter only. The sharenames sometimes also disapear some time after they were successfully mapped with sharename and all. Please advise any reasons why this may be happening. Many thanks. Morne

Sorry to bother, but I was wondering...what is the difference between scheduled tasks in Server 2k3 compared to them in Win xp pro SP2.... Reason I ask is, I've got backup scripts running to a NAS...on the server they are working perfectly, but using the same method on xp, they just don't want to run...security and paths are all correct, no issue talking to anything... Can anyone give me any thoughts/insight into the matter? Thanks...

Server 2003 STD eval SP2 upgrade to SP1
by Guest Nick- 2 replies
- 294 views
Hello, I know this is similar to other threads, but I can't find the exact same situation. I have running Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition Evaluation copy. Build 3790 (Service Pack 2). This I got from the microsoft download site. I aslo downloaded the R2 disc and have installed some of its components. My question is, when I 'upgrade' or 'repair' this installation to remove the 180 day limit, I know that I need the retail box version, but can I use the none SP2 version (P73-01669) or does it have to be the SP2 version (P73-02509). I only ask because, of course, the SP2 version is considerably more expensive. Many thanks for any help with…

Hi, I am trying to get some help in terms of decommisioning an existing domain controller which runs the secondary DNS zone. 1) My question is do I uninstall AD first or do I need to remove/delete the secondary DNS zone from the server.

W2k3 Server - then Install SP2 - then bang dead.
by Guest James W. Long- 1 reply
- 221 views
Hi All, Every time I go to install SP2 on Win2k3 Server, the server goes dead, as in locks out all communications both ways. cant start the network service, cant start the firewall service and cant ping outside my server. I found a couple things that say to disable the IPSec service, but that doesn't fix it, or change anything. it's in it's own little world. After installing SCW (thank you M$ for not doing this, I found THAT tidbit somewhere). I run it, and SCW says it cannot create its database. hmm.. do I need that? What I did find was that the RPC endpoint mapper isn't working properly anymore. even though it says it started, nothing can find an en…

Workstation authentication
by Guest ChuckN- 2 replies

My server is a Windows 2K3 Server Enterprise. We have another Windows 2K3 DC. Why is it that when I reboot my server that I cannot gain access to other workstations using Remote Access? As soon as the server boots up, I have immediate access. I assumed that the other DC would handle authentication when the primary server is offline. Thanks

Access is Denied when logged on 2003 Server?
by Guest Craig- 1 reply

Hello all, I am running a Windows 2003 file server for the past 3 months now. I administer it through RDP, and can obviously make changes to permissions, configurations and whatever. Last week, I realized I couldn't access a folder when I connected through Remote Desktop. I can check the properties, permissions and users allowed to see the folder. Today another folder on a different share is giving me the same error. Has anyone heard of not being able to access a folder on the server, when your logged on to the server, as an adimistrator?

tcpsvcs.exe (DHCP) hogging memory on DC
by Guest Newell White- 0 replies
- 171 views
We have 2 Win2k3 servers with SP2 both running DHCP server. There are 40 clients on the LAN, and max of 6 VPN users. I noticed this morning that the PDC emulator put out an error message saying it was short of Virtual Memory. tcpsvcs.exe was using 260Mbyte of RAM (on a 1Gbyte server). I had to do a restart to install latest updates, after which usage fell to 16Mbyte. Is this an issue with anyone else? -- Newell White

An odd question I know, but I have a lot of remote sites who are not domain connected and are in workgroups. These will soon be connected to head office using VPN for remote admin purposes. Is there any way on the workgroup PC I can add a security group from the head office domain into the local admin group on the workgroup PCs, so the select users can authenticate against the workgroup PC when logged onto their domain-based head office PC?

Server 2003 R2 takes 20 min to boot.
by Guest quantum- 5 replies

Over the past few days I have added a few more DC's to our domain and one of them is acting pretty funny. It's windows server 2003 R2; it booted fine while it was being configured and when it was first promoted to a DC and DNS (AD intergrated) was installed. Then litteraly over night it will now hang first on "prepairing network connections" for a few minutes and then on "Applying computer settings" for at least 10min. When the system finally boots it acts and works fine, there are no errors in the logs (except for those pretaining to missing AD replication). I've searched and the only thing I could find was in reference to Powerchute, but that is not inst…

Phantom file permission problem
by Guest Chris Hills- 3 replies
- 311 views
Hi Due to an administrative error, a permission was set on all the folders in a directory. The operation was stopped before it was completed. There are a now a number of folders which contain the permission, which are inherited from the "Parent Object". The permission however does not exist on the parent object. The only way I have found to fix it is to go through each affected folder with the following procedure: 1. Open the folder properties 2. Go to the Security tab 3. Open the advanced properties window 4. Untick "Allow inheritable permissions..." 5. Click "Remove" 6. Tick "Allow inheritable permissions..." 7. Click OK This removes the phantom perm…

Server will not Shutdown but only Restart
by Guest Luis Fajner- 9 replies
- 562 views
I'm building a new Windows 2003 Server Enterprise Edition (32 Bit) on a Dell PowerEdge 2900. Right after I installed the OS, I can Shut the Server down without any problems. But, after I installed Service Pack 1 and Service Pack 2 the Shutdown option will not Shut down but only Restart. Hardware and Software are brand new ones. I wipped every thing three times and started over again, having the same symptom. I didn't install any application yet. I only have the OS. The Event Viewer is clean, not even a yellow entry. Can somebody help me to find a solution? I couldn't find any article regarding this problem. Thank you, Luis
