I have a cluster group in which a Network Name was created that was a duplicate of another Network Name Resource. This failed one resource group and put the other in online pending. I cannot get the cluster administrator to open and the commend prompt will not let me fail the groups, delete the resource, or do much of anything.

I work at a credit union and for compliance reasons they want us to start documenting and interpreting the event logs of our servers. I do regularly monitor the event logs but I would definitely like some feedback as to how other admins approach this daunting task. I especially would like suggestions as to how to make sense of the security event logs. There are so many events (both success and failure logs) that are perfectly benign. What type of events do you need to look out for? Thank you for in advance for any advice given. Peter

Server Freezes when backing up system state
by Guest John Whites- 2 replies
- 241 views
I have a windows server 2003 R2 domain controller that will freeze up (basically if you go to the console all you can see is a blank desktop (no icons just color, no taskbar). This always happens when backing up the system state it seems. I've tried both Symantec Backup Exec 11.0d as well as just regular windows backup and this happens on both. The Machine is running DHCP, DNS, WINS, it's a DC and does printing and KMS. The last thing in the event log is always: wins (2212) Shadow copy 1 freeze stopped. or lsass (404) Shadow copy 3 freeze stopped. Something along those lines. It seems to be somewhat intermittant as well. Some day…

by Guest Peter Lange- 1 reply

Hi Sometimes I get the following popup on my Windows 2003 R2 STD x64 Server: "Your system is low on virtual memory. Windows is increasing the size of your virtual memory paging file. During this process, memory requests for some applications may be denied." My Server has 8GB of ram. The paging file is right now at 12GB. Before I rebooted the system I already had 20GB. The virtual meomry is set to "System managed size" Is this a normal behavior or do I have to investigate on that? Regards Peter

Windows server 2003 time is ahead by 1 hour
by Guest jdutro- 2 replies
- 243 views
I have a server 2003 that is 1 hour ahead on the time. I have changed the time using the gui, I hvae also changed it using net time / set. I have changed the time zone and set it back. The server always jumps ahead 1 hour, but it displays it is using Eastern Standard Time. This started after a reboot last night. The server is in a Windows 2003 domain. The domain controller time is correct and the other servers that I have checked are correct. We had a second server with the same problem, after rebooting the other server was fine. Any ideas of how to remedy this?

Empty "internet explorer.evt" log on W2K3 server - how do I use th
by Guest pbrill1- 0 replies
- 180 views
I've noticed, I believe since the IE7 upgrade, that my W2K3 servers show a new INTERNET EXPLORER log - but it has always been empty. Q: 1) Where did this come from, and why do I not have any entries in it? 2) Are there settings (group policy settings, perhaps) that I need to add to make this work? Is there any guidance on the use of this log? -- pbrill1
