    The time on our servers (and domain) is about 5 to 8 minutes fast. I am trying use an external source to set time in a domain environment. I have been having problems following the directions in the following article: How to configure an authoritative time server in Windows Server 2003 http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;816042 I have two w2k3 standard edition SP2 servers. One server is the PDC, but when you type net time, it is pointing to the GP server. On the GP server it points to itself. I have made all suggested changes in the above article, and tried different time servers. I even tried using the command line: net time: / set…

    Can't Block/Hide Particular Drive with GPO

    Dear All, I've setup up a custom ADM to block all drives on a system, except the Z drive which is mapped to a folder for the person to be able to save out... All the Drives get blocked, except the E drive (well the Z drive is visible, but that was intended) I'm using the value of '01111111111111111111111111' or 33554431 decimal, which is correct, right? Why would the E Drive be visible in 'My Computer' ? Regards Paul.

    Cygwin problems on Vista Ultimate, problems not had on Win2k3SP2

    Hi Vista gurus We're using CYGWIN_NT-6.0 1.5.25(0.156/4/2) We were successfully using it on Win2k3SP2 but on Vista ultimate it is not working as previously. When we start our application in the cygwin command prompt window, it is not doing anything but just times out after awhile, terminating the process started. The cygwin is setup to use the inetd account with certain user rights that we used on Win2k3SP2 successfully. We wonder if on Vista we need to setup cygwin any differently in regards to user rights and accounts, enironment variables, network access etc etc.? Many thanks for any solutions, ideas, tests, workarounds etc., QA4Ever

    Some one mentioned to me that the tools had been available for download from the microsoft site, but, when they needed to download another copy they could not find anything at microsoft to download site. Should there be a download section for the 2008 tools, as there is for the 2003 resource kit?

    add a disk to an existing RAID 5 array on windows 2003 server

    by Guest JimRBG

    • 339 views

    I'm working on a server that needs to expand the hard drive capacity. The system is a Dell 2950 server. It currently has 4 x 300gb drives configured as RAID 5 array. There are 2 spare drive bays open to add drives to. If I just add additional drives, say 2 more 300gb drives, do I just go into computer management, disk management and partition the additional capacity as a new drive? How should I approach this. I do not want to reformat the existing drive and re-install the OS. Thanks, Jim

    Win2K3 Server Gateway settings

    by Guest BBW

    This is more of an IP settings question vs an ISA question. I have my 2K3 servers point to my ISA 2K Internet gateway and it works great. I just added another Internet ISA 2K6 gatway to the network. So on one of my servers, I added this gateway's IP in addition to the original gateway. Now the server has 2 gateway settings. I can RDP to it from the Internet through the ISA 2K gateway, but can't do it from the new ISA 2K6 gateway. If I put the 2nd gateway first in the server gateway settings, I can access it from the Internet through the ISA2K6 gateway My big question is there a way to have the server receive connections from both Internet gateways …

    Hi, We have problems with scheduled tasks failing on windows 2000. A reboot solves this but we cannot get to the bottom of the problem. It's Sp4 and there's no Human Interface Devices service. I've tried making jobs with the AT command, assigning runas service and bath permissions and pretty much worked through a lot of search results. It seems to be about every 7 days it fails. Can anyone shed light on this? There is nothing in event logs (app and system). Task log attached, job names aren't actually xxxxxxxxxx lol. "xxxxxxxxxx.job" (runxxxxx.bat) Started 06/10/2008 23:45:00 "xxxxxxxxx.job" (runxxxxx.bat) Finished 06/10/2008 23:49:14 Result: T…

    Do You Really Think You Can Neglect Your Windows Registry?

    by Guest jeremiah wright

    Windows registry, a database of files stored to decide how the operating system and the other program are going to work. The proper management of registry files gives out optimized performance of programs. Windows registry is important file system you cannot ignore to let it unmanaged. The poorly performing system, every time it has to go through the start up check option of those files which are never to be used. You need a cleaner registry to stop this nuisance being repeated over and over. Often you uninstall a program and you are some times prompted like "These are certain no longer in use; however some programs may need it. Would you like to delete. If you…

    What is the recommended practice for allowing offline files from a shared file server? I have one user that has huge amounts of data set to be available offline and I suspect this could be a problem. Is my suspicion warranted? I think if everyone was doing it it would be even worse so why allow one to do it... client xp pro sp3 server 2003 r2 latest sp...

    WMI ADAP errors with DotNet 3.5 - KB951683

    Hi, We're experiencing symptom 3, Message 2 in the knowledge base article with some of our servers and were wondering if there's a fix that's going to be released. While the text of the KB advises its going to be in the next service pack, the fix wasn't credited as being in 3.5 SP1 as per http://support.microsoft.com/kb/951847. Can someone from MS please advise if it is included, but not credited otherwise we'll have to work with MS support to get the hotfix talked about in the original KB article. Cheers, Kieran
