Moving data between servers?
by Guest Brian McGrew- 6 replies
- 232 views
Hello again, Over the weekend I tried to move tons of data from one server to the other. The source server is a DC and I was logged in as the Administrator for the domain. I have two problems I hope someone can help me with! 1) I got permission denied on quite a few files. Why??? I'm the domain administrator and this account owns all the folders, why would I get permission denied??? 2) The destination copy had all the permissions screwed up, like no permissions were preserved at all. How do I do a move and preserve the ownership and permissions??? Is there a data migration utility that I should be looking at as opposed to the standard copy? …

Access denied on Iomega Network drive in Windows 2003 R2
by Guest Bruce Wallace- 0 replies
- 141 views
We have an Iomega 250Gbyte network hard drive that was used to back up files from a Windows 2000 server that has failed. This drive was available to all users on our network. We have installed a new server running Windows 2003 Standard Edition 32 bit with no access controls specifically invoked. The Iomega drive can be found and mapped in Windows Explorer but none of the folders or files on it can be seen or accessed. Any attempt to create a new folder, for instance, gives 'Access is Denied'. We have added now a second (new) Iomega 250 Gbyte drive that gives the same result. These drives are also now no longer accessible by other users on the network, whi…

Hi, I have a new 2008 Server standard license agreement. According to http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserver2008/en/us/downgrade-rights.aspx I can downgrade to 2003 R2 Server standard but when I look up my license keys I only have one key listed. How do I get a 2003 key? (e.g. When I order Office 2007 there are three keys listed and when I ordered 2003 server there were 4 keys listed) Thanks

RE: Server 2008 install-generic activation error
by Guest Bruce Wilkinson- 0 replies
- 126 views
RE: Server 2008 install-generic activation error I also posted a note to the vista general discussion group about a File Transfer Manager download problem. The install/activation problem described here is from Server 2008 downloaded from Technet > TechCenters > Resources for IT Professionals > Downloads. After further digging, it looks like I tried to use a TechNet Subcriber product key on a trial version of Server 2008. My only real problem is getting File Transfer Manager to work on Vista.

Windows Server 2003 configuration question
by Guest Anne- 6 replies
- 250 views
The hard drive crashed on the server of one of my clients and upon reinstallation, the IT person did not re-create the domain because it was too much work and he wants to wait until Small Business Server 2008 is out to reconfigure the server. Now the server is in a different workgroup than the workstations and it is creating big problems with permission and access, but I am running into a wall trying to get him to change it. His reasoning for making the change from a domain to a workgroup was that if he configured the server as domain again, he would have to redo all the workstations. Am I wrong in assuming that if he had configured the new hard drive wi…

by Guest DHamer- 6 replies

We have just purchased a new faster storage systen, and need to move files for the user's home areas onto it. Current we have SERVER1 connected to a dell storage array which only has one bank populated. The array is shared as \\server1\home So each user's home area is set as \\server1\home\username What we need to do is move all the users home areas onto a new set of faster drives going into the same unit (i.e the same server). Firstly, how could I copy the files accross and retain all the ownerships and permissions? Bearing in mind we are talking about 1TB + of data so I dont want to have to keep on confirming. Secondly, once the copy job is done, wo…

Multiple logoffs required
by Guest steve_t- 4 replies
- 216 views
I have a small network (2 DCs running Server 2003, 10 XP workstations). Recently, a few people have had to select the Log off option twice in order to actually log off. The first time, they are prompted w/the standard "Are you sure you want to log off?" question, but even when clicking Yes, they stay logged in. They have to do the process a second time in order to successfully log off. This doesn't happen with every user, but for the ones who are affected, it happens every time. TIA for any ideas.
