by Guest alisafia- 1 reply
- 217 views
I created a new ID "shetasks" to schedule tasks. This is to prevent the admins to use administrator ID to schedule a task. I changed one of the schedule to use new ID "shetasks". The has full rights to run the schedule. It runs the schedule tasks with no errors but I don't get what I want. The schedule tasks calls \\dc1\netlogon\map.bat I don't get mapped drives. I logged as user shetasks on the windows machines. When I ran \\dc1\netlogon\map.bat, I got the mapped drives.

Multiple Daily Backups
by Guest Scott S- 4 replies
- 323 views
I have a 1TB NAS device, I have my server configured to automaticaly back up at the end of each night. I would like to setup the server to create new backup files each night so that at the end of the week I would have seven different backups from each day of the week. I would also like to only store one months worth of backups, s I would like to program the server to delete backups older than one month old. Any ideas on how to automate this process so that it does not have to be done manually?

I need to upgrade one of my Server 2003 boxes from Standard to Enterprise in order to allow support for more than 4GB RAM (for SQL server needs). Do I just purchase Enterprise and install it right on top of my existing 2003 Standard box or is there more to it?

Recommended Partition Size
by Guest Richard Perry- 8 replies
- 559 views
I would like to see what other's are doing for creating partitions on Server 2003 with Server 2008 in mind. Typically, I create a C drive for OS and Applications (16 GB), and leave the remaining disk space as a D drive for user/application created files. In the past, space limitations on the system drive has been a concern when the C drive was 6, 8, or even 12 GB depending on the flavor of Windows Server running. Building out a new Server 2003 box, with the idea of upgrading to Server 2008 shortly after RTM, and that this would be a single purpose server (file or print or application), what would the recommended size for the system partition be? …

Windows Print Spooler
by Guest Chad Guiney- 1 reply
- 208 views
I have a big problem with the print spooler service on a Windows 2003 Server computer. I am having to constantly stop and start the spooler service to get print jobs (mostly PDF's) to go through about 10-15 at a time. I have updated the drivers on the server about 4 times and deleted and re-added the printer about the same ammount of times. I have about 10 other printers on the server that have the same problem. The only difference is the one HP Color LaserJet 4700 printer keeps saying it's offline until the spooler is reset and the others say Online. Any Ideas??? This is very frustrating. Thanks in advance!!

Upgrade to Server Enterprise

We currently have a w2k3 standard server with sp2. We put the Enterprise cd in and tried to upgrade it and got the error message stating that we couldn't upgrade. Our only option was to do a clean install or a dual boot. Is there a way to upgrade to Enterprise or is this our only choices. We thought we could put in the cd and do the upgrade.

Hanging at "applying computer settings"
by Guest LSI- 2 replies
- 251 views
I'm having an issue with Windows Server 2003 Standard R2 x86 after installing SP2. The server is exhibiting extremely long startup times when booting normally. I can boot in safe mode (w/out networking), and I'll get a ctrl-alt-del prompt in a normal timespan. As soon as I try to reboot it normally or into safe mode w/networking, I don't get a ctrl-alt-del prompt for an extended period of time (not sure how long - I usually force a reboot after 15 minutes!). I'm seeing NetLogon event # 5719 in the sys log. Please help!

DLS to Standard Time switch failed
by Guest Tecknomage- 0 replies
- 180 views
On our Win2k Server we do have auto-DLS set and I used TZEDIT to update our time zone. It matches exactly what our WinXP Desktops have (via WinXP Updates). Problem, the DLS to Standard time change did not happen on 11/4 (1st Sun in November, 02:00) as it should. When I came in Monday 11/5 the time was still on DLS. I manually corrected the time. Now the question is why? The server is on 24/7 and Server Administrators just log off. The time switch should have taken place under these circumstances, correct? Any ideas?

R2 report limitations
by Guest Cosby- 2 replies
- 238 views
I've been trying to run reports with the new File Server Management tool in regards to Duplicate files, old files, and large files. I've run into one problem though that I was hoping to get some help with. There's a maximum of 1000 files that the report will return. The report will tell you how many files match the criteria, but only displays the first 1000. Is there a way to increase this maximum, or to alter the way the report runs to exclude certain files after you've confirmed that they do need to remain? Any help would be appreciated. -- Thanks Cosby

MS Imaging Software Question
by Guest TheScullster- 0 replies
- 175 views
Hi all May well be OT this one but...... The recent release of MS updates has disassociated the MS Document Imaging software from tiff images. This causes us a headache because we scan all drawings to this format. The alternative picture and fax viewer is hopeless for this. So the question is......... Does anyone actually understand why the MS Imaging software is considered a vulnerability? Will the danger posed by this problem be negated by the fact that users are behind a corporate firewall or is it not-that-kind-of-problem? What risk is run by re-associating this software with tiffs? TIA Phil

Hello all, My AD Environment has a file server running windows 2003. I have 900 users connected throughout the infrastructure. Our Novell server has recently died, so im mapping users to a new server for file share. 200 users have been sucsessful remapped but, 2 of them. I am at a loss of whats going on. Same subnet, same permissions, same building, I can map the drive, but cannot access it. However, before the mapped drive is complete, I can run the share from RUN on these 2 workstations. I can access and make changes as I have granted rights to these users. Anyone have any ideas or has anyone seen this before? Thanks in advance

I have server 2003 with IPP setup and working for Windows clients using IE. How can my Mac OS X users connect to printers using IPP via the print server? I don't want users connecting directly to the printers as they are charged for their printing by a program running on the print server.

Cannot find NETWOK SERVICE Account
by Guest ThatsIT.net.au- 0 replies
- 158 views
I recently promoted a Windows 2003 server to be a backup domain controller in a windows 2000 domain. After that I could not find the NT Authority\Network Service Account. Is this expected behavior? Is there any way of recreating this account? I was under the impression that the Network Service account was not a account of the domain controller and only a account of member servers, but I also read that I need to give it permissions to run IIS on a domain controller.

Hello, I am attempting to replace an older server running windows server 2000 standard edition configured with WIN2000DOMAIN (domain name) and W2000D (netbios name). I am replacing that with a Windows Server 2003 R2 domain controller running SP2 configured with WIN2000DOMAIN (domain name) and W2000D (netbios name). Note the netbios name is the same. When the win2003 DCboots it does not start AD correctly because of an error with the netbios name (other computer is preventing it) I have shut the DHCP service down on the windows 2003 DC. This is a temporiary condition untill migration is complete (1 month) How can I get these two DCs to coexist? …

Print drivers

So our Windows 2003 print server seems to have an issue. It is a newly formatted server, with service pack 2 on it. It has about 70 printers installed with various drivers from Ricoh 1515 to HP 2550 drivers. But certain drivers it does not like. For example I'm trying to install a HP P3005 and anytime I install the driver it just locks up the printer properties. It will lock up on the Finish window of the printer wizard. Then if you try to go to the properties, perferences, anything of the newly installed printer it won't go and if someone tries to print to the printer it gives them errors (like you don't have a printer installed, this printer isn't wo…
