Server 2003 to 2008 Upgrade Question Regarding Printers
by Guest Daniel P. Cayea- 2 replies
- 368 views
I just did an in place upgrade of 2003 Standard 64 Bit to 2008 64 Bit. On 2003 I had about 15 printer shares. After the upgrade I have zero printer shares. Is this by design or a bug? Why would an in place upgrade eat printer shares and is there any way to recover them other than to rebuild them? Thanks, Dan

Server 2008 - Installing non-TS CALs
by Guest jebtech- 4 replies
- 477 views
Potentially silly question, but I haven't seen this addressed. I have 250 CALs purchased. Where do I tell Server 2008 that I have these CALs? These aren't for Terminal Services, just for people on my internal network to access the server. My 2003 Server has an applet off the Control Panel, I don't see the same thing in 2008.

Software Compatibility Question (Forced Install)
by Guest Daniel P. Cayea- 1 reply
- 302 views
I have a piece of software I am trying to install on Server 2008. The setup will say that it can only install on Windows 2000, XP, or Vista. Now, even in compatibility mode (right clicking on the setup and telling it to run in a different layer) it tells me that it can only install in 2K, XP, or Vista. What can it be looking at to know the difference even in a compatibility layer? It isn't a system utility, its some test scoring software. Thanks, Dan

windows 2003 Server changing spool tmp file path.
by Guest Rowan- 3 replies

I'm running windows 2003 Server on a Dell PE2500. As the server is being used much more as a heavy print server, the system drive keeps running out of space due to a build up of tmp files. Is there a way to change the location of the tmp files from the spooler to another larger drive ?

Exceeding 85% Disk Quotas Report Header
by Guest Scott- 0 replies
- 264 views
On Server 2003 R2 SP2 we are running disk quotas with warnings to users at 85%. The email warnings which are sent to users are very confusing because, rather than having a header that emphasizes that they are approaching their quota, the report has the following header and subject: Duplicate Files Report Generated in response to a quota 85% threshold exceeded notification on 'E:\Users\Jonesj'. Generated at: 10/9/2008 10:40:51 AM Report Description: Lists files that appear to be duplicates (files with same name, size and last modified time). Use this report to quickly identify and reclaim disk space wasted because of duplication. Is there any way to mo…

Disable the homepage from auto appearing as desktop when active desktop is enabled?
by Guest Andrew Story- 1 reply
- 291 views
Sorry this is multiposted in public.win2000.general - not a busy forum so I've posted here also (apologies in advance) Hello I have numerous desktops running windows XP who's users have a policy puching out corporate wallpaper, which requires active desktop to be enabled. The same users logon to a Win2k terminal server, and active desktop (with it being enabled for the user account) gives every user the homepage when they logon. Is it possible to have this feature disabled? I think it must be in the default user profile somehow but unsure, can someone help? Thanks

Domain troubles
by Guest Huston- 6 replies
- 383 views
I have two groups of machines. One group(A) is on a domain, and the other group(B) is not. Both groups are behind the same firewall. There is a program that I have that needs access to a specific site. The group that is not on the domain works...... The group that is on the domain doesn't. Where can I start looking? What might cause this? Ask questions if you need more information, or point me in the right direction if I am in the wrong group. Any help is appreciated... Thanks Shawn Huston

Sharing encrypted folder

Environment: Server2008-x64 enterprise, XPpro SP2 client. I want to set up a shared encrypted folder on Server2008, so I: 1.. Logged on the server as admin and created folder "secure", marked it as encrypted. 2.. This new encrypted folder inherited full-control access permissions from user x. 3.. I go to my XP machine, map a network drive to "secure" using user x. So far, so good. 4.. I try to write a file to "secure"; permission is denied. 5.. I then go back to the server and copy the file to "secure" - no problem. 6.. On XP I export x's certificate (both keys) and successfully import it into the server. 7.. On the server I try to add …

Hi! I've got some trouble with our Fileserver. Everytime I restore a shadow copy (I use shadow copys for shared folders), there are errors in the Eventlog. First of all, the Eventlog is full of ApplicationPopup 333 errors. During the Backup job for all the Server, there is an error at the fileserver, and the backup Job aborts. I use Symantec BackupExec for the Tape Backup. This is the Event ID from the Fileserver Eventlog, wich generates the Backup error: Product: Windows Operating System ID: 8193 Source: VSS Version: 5.2 Symbolic Name: VSS_ERROR_UNEXPECTED_CALLING_ROUTINE Message: Volume Shadow Copy Service error: Unexpected error calling ro…

Accessing workgroup resources from a domain, goofy issue
by Guest wwworldwideweb@gmail.com- 1 reply
- 275 views
OK, so I'm having a strange issue. I've created a new domain for some office computers (SBS 2003 and XP Pro) and moved them all into it. There are some resources that cannot be moved into the domain though. There's a printer and another Windows 2003 file server that needs to be kept in the workgroup for unrelated business reasons. When the client computers first login they can access the printer and the file shares fine. Then, after oh say 45 minutes or so they lose access to them. All the same usernames/passwords exist in both the domain and the file server. The shares and NTFS security are wide open. I tried net use persistent:yes but no luck I thought …

Application needs to Authicate with AD
by Guest Sanjay Mehta- 0 replies
- 255 views
Hi, I have an application called Sage FR100 installed. We have a site by site VPN connection with our regional office. So they can see our DNS servers via the Linkssys router but their IP scheme is on a different subnet. Also those PC's are not joined to the domain. They are connected to each other via a peer to peer network. Whenever we start this application, I get a password prompt where I enter domain\user and the password. Shouldn't that authenticate against AD and give me access to the application? Instead I get the following error: Connection failed: SQLState: '28000' SQL Server Error: 18452 [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver] Login…
