Just ordering a server from Dell for use with 2008 and Hyper-V and wanted to make sure 2008 Standard x64 would support: - dual quad-core CPU - 32gig memory I tried to locate this info on Microsoft's website but just found general info about 2008, not a concrete breakdown of what each version supports like their 2003 website. Thanks!

Windows 2003 DHCP Monitoring
by Guest AlanW.- 1 reply
- 158 views
Previously our company had Novell DHCP services, and this provided us a live monitor of all DHCP Requests, Acknowledgements, Denies, etc. The Windows DHCP server seems to be lacking any kind of monitoring. It does have logs that I can check, but a monitoring tool would be preferred. I'm also looking for some way to search for a specific MAC Address within the system. Is there some suite of tools available for enhancing my Windows DHCP Administration beyond the minimalistic management snapin? Thanks!

GPO Software Deployment - DNS Alias
by Guest Hutch- 3 replies
- 195 views
We have recently replaced our main file server, migrating all files\software. Currently have 3 GPO's in place that were reponsible for deploying Office, Visio STD and Visio Pro. We should have used DFS, but that is water under the bridge right now. I had thought that a DNS Alias would allow the GPO's to contact the new file server, even though the server name was different...however this does not appear to be the case. I have put the entry in for disabling strict naming, and verified that the server is at least listening for the Alias as well. However the GPO's will not install. Keeps advising that the source location is not available. But whe…

Server Console login
by Guest Ray234- 0 replies

I have a Server 2003 server that is running Exchange 2003. Several times over the past few months it has locked the console login, so I can't get response when using CTRL+ALT+DEL. I can RDP in and all is running fine, but when I try CTRL+ALT+DEL at the console, it won't respond. When I use mstsc /console, it allows me to enter the login information, but then goes to the same blank screen as at the console itself. Since this is on a KVM, I setup USB mouse and keyboard, but CTRL+ALT+DEL still didn't work. The mouse moves around the screen fine. It is running Symantec for Exchange, Symantec (with the proper exceptions), and the Blackberry Enterprise s…

by Guest dadoolittle- 0 replies

New Windows 2003 R2 x64 server, Quad core proc, 12gigs ram, dual HBA fiber attached SAN storage. 3 SAN data volumes (2 - data volumes and 1 for user folders, mapped to look like one share). Server will suddenly seem to stop responding, sort of. Very slow browsing of the mapped drive. Server is still responding, and RDP to it, and open both data drives, but cannot open the use folder volume. No errors are generated. Very little to no disk activity in perf mon. There are no errors on the server, and no errors in the SAN storage system (which is also brand new). We have a duplicated system (same server and SAN system) as we were planning for an offsi…

Hi, I would like to make my Windows Server 2008 Enterprise create a terminal session when booted up: I've got some daemons that I want to make start at boot, but I need also the GUI available and launching them as jobs doesn't allow me to get to the GUI. These daemons does not allow to interact via a remote administration app.

Move 2003 file server to new domain
by Guest Nic Hanekom- 0 replies

Hi We are in the process of a NT4 to 2003 migration. We are running a NT4 DC on domain X and a 2003 DC on domain Y in mixed mode. All out file servers are already on 2003. All users and groups have been migrated with ADMT from domains X to Y and all workstations have joined the new domain Y. Because of all the SID history being migrated with ADMT, all users on the new domain Y can still access the files and shares on the file servers on old domain X. Now we want to move these 2003 file servers to the new domain Y. How can we do this in way so all file and share permissions will automatically be changed as well? At the moment all shares and files on the …

Server 2003 network directory access

I 've had many issues with a server over the past couple of days. The server is running Windows 2003 Enterprise and handles our backup-to-disk operations. Over the weekend, a memory module failed and the server restarted. When we booted back up on Monday, there was corrupt data that was saved to the hard drive. The first thing we did was test to ensure that there was no issues with the hard disk and after verifying it was the memory, we removed the bad module and began to repair the problems. There were a couple of corrupt OS files keeping the server from booting so we recovered those in the recovery console and it booted into windows fine. The next…

NTBackup Hangs at Shadow Copy
by Guest Chris White- 7 replies

Having a real real nightmare with this now. My backups just wont run on my Windows 2003 R2 SP2 server. I go to create a normal backup using the wizard on NTBackup, then when I set it to run it just hangs on "Preparing Shadow Copy", hangs the NTBackup app, cranks the processor to 50% and thats it. I had a real issue the other day when 5 backup schedules all did this during a day and ramped the processor to 100% for hours. I've tried searching the net for solutions to this but its hard due to the nature of the error. Logs are empty in the backup logs, Event Viewer shows the Backup "Begin" event then nothing. Scheduled task viewer hasn't had errors in …

HP ProLiant Opteron 1210 or Xeon 3040
by Guest Kappa- 0 replies

I'm stuck between buying HP ProLiant ML 115 Opteron 1210 @ 1.8 GHz and HP ProLiant ML 110 G4 Xeon 3040 1.86 GHz. All the rest of the specs are the same. Difference of price is about £10. But according to HP UK's website Xeon 3040 is discontinued. But my question is which processor is better? I have started MCSE, so I'll be using it for my home lab/server. PS. I've searched through the forum, only bechmark I found was between Xeon 5000 vs Opteron 200 series. Here Xeon out performed but not when it comes to power consumption. Thanks in advance.
