Random shutdowns on 2003 servers
by Guest George Nussbaum- 4 replies
- 342 views
Hi all, I have noticed that we have had random shutdowns of servers. Some actually still ping, but you cannot get to a console or other interface to see what is wrong and have to reboot them. The only thing that shows up in the Event logs is the "The server shut down unexpectedly...". I checked the power sources that they are connected to and the are fine. Any thoughts as to what it might be? Also, we run virus scanners, so I'm pretty confident that it isn't that. Thanks, George

Verify that the program to be upgraded exists on your computer and that you have the correct upgrade patch" ..net 1 is on here as well as I verified the windows installer is correctly installed... Any ideas? Thanks, Lance

This is a strange one. In trying to do updates, connect to the internet for tech support, etc... on my DC I can not get internet access when using the administrator account only. When I use my AD log in or anyone elses with the rights it works just fine but when I try to use the administrator account it times out, DNS error, etc... this is really weird. My SDC does not have the same issue just my primary.

Shut Users Down
by Guest Wolfie301- 7 replies
- 478 views
Is there a way to force users to shut down? I have set up wsus but not many computers have appeared in my wsus group and I think this is because they never log off or shut down. They also need to re-boot for other updates such as AVT. Any help very much appreciated.

Hi, we defined a group policy rule (on several computers), that specify which groups are allowed to logon through Terminal Services. Even I have disabled (or modified) the GPO, I still cannot connect by through TS with another account not listed in the old GPO. I would like to modify this value directly from registry in the client computer. Someone can tell me wwhere does GPO store this parameter ? Thank you -- Pascal

Mapped drives intermittent on VPN
by Guest Lewej- 0 replies
- 178 views
Hi We have about 20 laptops in the field that all work OK - apart from one, whose mapped drives seem intermittently available via a VPN. Some weeks they are seen and availalbe. Other weeks though they appear in Explorer, if the user clicks on them they are empty and have no subdirectories. Clearly this is causing issue. There is nothing amazing about our L2TP VPN. I have asked the user to reboot their broadband router and laptop. Even if they cannot connect to the mapped drives their Outlook and other functions till seem to work OK on the VPN. ANy ideas please! TIA Lewej

network cable unplugged.
by Guest t.restivo@comlabs.com- 2 replies
- 255 views
I have two Windows 2003 64 bit servers. Both have three NIC's in them. The onboard network card works on both servers. The added cards are Realtek 8139 10/100 PCI cards. One server shows a code 10 error on both added cards. The other server shows network cable unplugged. However there is a link light on both the card and the switch. I have the latest drivers I could find loaded. I removed the two cards from the server with network cable unplugged and replaced with one Trendnet card (apparently it is the same card and the Realtek). I have the same issues. Please help.

HP2600N Nightmare on Win2k3 server

Hi All Been installing HP2600N's at schools no problem in a server environment. Installed 2 today (ie configured static ip on each (school rule), installed the driver on the Win2k3 server via the installer cd, restarted the server (mandatory), shared the printers and config'd GPO to 'push' these printers to the user accounts) and had a absolute shocker when I came to log on with any user account. Basically bombs with a exception error when each printer drops in, says that Windows' DE has protected me from the SubSpool something app, stopped the print spooler service and won't let me restart it and lost all of my printers (inc 2 other network ones th…

Drive mapping problem
by Guest Pascal Goulet- 9 replies

Hi all, Here is a brief description of my problem. Every once in a while (like once avery 3-4 months) I have a very strange problem. One of my user (I have 900 of them) is unable to map network drive via my login script or map the printer who are host on the same server. The weird thing is that my login script do not only map ressources from this server. And every other map drive are mapped without problems. I do not have any lead on the event log of the client computer, the server who does'nt share his ressources or the DC. I first tought it might be a SID problem cause if I copy the user from the AD and recreate it with the same login and grou…

Any thoughts with this?
by Guest David- 0 replies
- 182 views
Hi We have several hundred remote users. It has come to my attention that when they VPN in they don't update their DNS records automatically. This can only it can be done by running the ipconfig /registerdns command. We have a RAS server on the network and two DHCP servers which assign the clients IP addreses. Both DHCP servers are relay agents for the RAS. I have checked DHCP and it is set too "Always dynamically update A records and PTR records" both on the server level and on the scope. I think the problem maybe that a computer only registers its DNS when it starts up, and when they initialise the VPN to the office it doesn't. On the properties of the V…

Shared folders - connection limit
by Guest DeFactoITguy- 4 replies
- 345 views
Hi, Background: the calibration lab I work in is looking to set up a server-type machine where 10+ users will run a non-MS server-side application ifrom a shared folder. We are trying to figure out which version of Windows Server to purchase. The desire is for this machine to be a simple client in a large domain, i.e., not a domain controller, and not running any of the server programs that come with SBS 2003. My question concerns the number of concurrent connections to shared folders in SBS 2003. I know than in XP Home the connection limit is 5 users at a time to a shared folder and 10 for XP Pro. Is there a limit in SBS 2003 (or regular Window…

I have an HP Proliant ML350 server running Windows Server 2003 and have two 34GB hard drives that are mirrored using a Basic (not Dynamic) disk setup. I have run low on disk space (2GB free) and would like to just increase the size of the current logical drive. I have installed two more 34GB drives that are mirrored (I assume because of the RAID controller settings since they show as one 34GB logical drive). When looking at the "Disk Management" profiles of the installed disks under the Computer Management console, it shows the existing disks as "Disk 0" Basic 33.91GB Online Healthy (System) and the newly installed disks as "Disk 1" Basic 33.91GB Online…
