by Guest EddyVK- 1 reply
- 220 views
Hi, since we have several administrators (domain admins) on our server, I want to secure the built-in administrator account so that only that administrator can change the password for the built-in administrator account and the domain admins can't... I already looked in the Local Security Policy, but didn't find anything useful for this problem... Any ideas anyone? Thanks in advance, Eddy VK

Hi There, I have migrated to win2003R2 a file server where Mydocuments are hosted. I would like to put back in place quotas. This should be an easy task with FSRM and templates systems.... .

Quota entries - Server 2003 Std R2
by Guest user- 2 replies
- 247 views
I have quota's set on a volume but they do not update. According to the quota entry list one user has used 826Mb of 2Gb limit but when I look at thier folder properties it tells me that the size is 6.3Gb! This happens for all users and also new users do not get added to the quota. I've tried disabling/enabling quota but after it rescans it just presents back the original entries. The settings I have are: Enable quota Limit space to 2Gb Set warning 1.75Gb Log event when user exceeds. All other options are off. Any thoughts? Bilbo

I'm using the quota feature in Windows 2003 R2 and have set up an auto quota. Several folders have exceed this limit & using the command option I've reassigned these folders to a new quota granting them a temporary extension. The usage on these folders has now dropped, so how do I reassign them back to the original auto quota ?? Thanks

File System Structure Corrupt?
by Guest NRC Help- 6 replies
- 470 views
Hello all, We have an Windows 2003 SP2, Exchange 2003 SP2 server which had a drive fail (Dell PowerEdge 2650, 5 drives all in a single RAID 5 container). The drive was replaced, virtual disk auto-regenerated, and Dell OpenManage says everything is OK. However, we are seeing the error messages below in the event logs about once per day (they began before the drive was actually swapped out) I assume my only option here is to run chkdsk? If so, which options do you recommend? I know the system will need to be rebooted for any corrections to be made by chkdsk, so this will need to occur after hours, and I would like to minimize down time while at the s…

Would like to try use my server as a webcam server.
by Guest Kardon Coupé- 0 replies
- 178 views
Dear All, I don't know if this is possible, but I thought I'd ask.... Is there anyway of using my server as a webcam server? I know it is a strange request, but does anybody know of any software or configuration, so if more than 2 people want to webcam, it can all go through the same place, and all can see everybody's camera? (2 people can just use Messenger, or equivalent) Hope this makes sense... Regards Paul.

by Guest Beau- 2 replies

Hello All! First, sorry if this is in the wrong forum and second, sorry but I am new and inexperienced at this. I administer my brother's company of about 15 people and everything is fine and running smooth on my limited knowledge. However, recently the need to re-direct users "my Documents" folders from their local "c" drive to their "personal" folder (P drive) on the network store has emerged. I know this can be done, but I have no idea how do it. I think it has something with the roaming profiles and stuff. Can any take the time to help me or direct me to a website that would have the instructions. Thank y ou VERY much... -- Beau

Page File Usage
by Guest EricPaul- 0 replies
- 178 views
I'm in a quandry over page file usage... I have a Windows 2003 server that has 4GB of RAM. Using performance counters it seems that the Pagefile has been set by the OS to 3.2 GB. I am getting Virtual Memory errors and the page file is filling up, but there is still RAM available. The page file will be full but task manager still shows that there is roughly 3GB of RAM available. I know the system always uses some virtual memory but it seems odd to run out of virtual memory before you run out of real RAM. Has anyone else had a problem like this? Am I missing something?

Faxing Issues
by Guest Ian McCulloch- 0 replies
- 183 views
Hi all I am using the built in faxing service for Windows 2003 SP2 I have had several users notify the help desk that when they attempt to send a fax, nothing happens. They have to print to the fax printer a second time. I have looked at the logs on the fax server - nothing to indicate anything was sent. I scoured the event logs of both the fax server and the Citrix server and nothing fax related. This is working 99.5 % of the time. Are there any troubleshooting measures to take? Anything I can set in place to track one user? Has anyone heard of this before? Regards Ian McCulloch IT Specialist MacLeod Lorway Group Sydney, NS

Certificate Authority Problem
by Guest Mick Montalto- 3 replies
- 305 views
I recently installed Certificate Authority onto my domain controller as an Enterprise Root CA. This is fine but I had forgotten that during my Exchange 2003 implementation one of the consultants working on the job installed Certificate Services on one of my mail servers as well to function with Outlook Web Access. In the end we did not utlize the Windows certificate and ended up purchasing a Verisign certificate due to some common errors we were experiencing. I now have no idea how that server was configured in terms of if it was a standalone server, Enterprise Root CA or what. How do I check to see what level of CA my Exchange 2003 server is at a…

Recovering from a domain server crash without a backup.
by Guest Noctaire- 2 replies
- 245 views
1) Is there ANY way to put a new domain server into an existing domain, replacing the previous unit that crashed, without unjoining then rejoining each and every client on the network? Scenario: A small company with 30-50 client PCs has a single Win2K3 domain server. All client PCs are members of the domain. The server crashes and it is found that backups were not being performed. A new instance, with the same domain name, is created from a fresh install. Naturally, the existing client PCs will not be able to access the domain. The basic solution is to remove the client PCs from the domain then join them into the new domain to build the trust relat…

Home directory permission soup
by Guest Rickard- 1 reply
- 214 views
I've been searching for the correct permissions to put on a shared folder that contains user home directories in our server2003/xp environment. We also do folder redirection of Application Data into the home directory via a domain level group policy. http://technet2.microsoft.com/windowsserver/en/library/a1b7ce04-708b-4145-830a-cadfc003acd31033.mspx?mfr=true The above article contains a table under "NTFS permissions required for the root folder" that lists suggested permissions for the root folder into which you do folder redirection, but that's not quite what we have. We have a folder containing home directories and then Application Data is redirected into t…

ASR restore & RAID drivers....
by Guest Noctaire- 0 replies
- 176 views
We created an ASR backup on a server with a RAID array (mirrored drives), swapped the drives out, then ran a restore on the new drives. Everything appeared to go ok but when the restore was done and the system restarted, it just kept rebooting. Didn't appear to make it past the POST. Are there any known issues with an ASR recovery and RAID controller drivers? Although it makes sense one would have to do the F6/add drivers bit during a fresh installation, I don't see why the restored version of Windows would be unable to handle the same controller on a new drive pair.

Windows Server 2003 R2

- 193 views
Has anyone run across an issue where they installed 2003 R2, then joined it to a domain after the fact and having trouble with files copied saying you don't the necessary permissions to either open the file or run the install of an application from another server? I have found with 2003 R2 that if I join it to the domain during install I don't have this issue. If this has happened besides a re-install is there any way to correct this issue. Thanks.
