This Microsoft knowledge base article 889713 partly explains how to determine which channel your installed Windows 2003 comes from: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/889713 Open Explorer and right click My Computer and select Properties. The Registered To section of the General tab contains a five digit number which identifies the general type of Windows you are using. The following three digits are the Channel ID, and that is what tells you whether the copy is Retail, Dell OEM, HP OEM, Retail, Generic OEM, MSDN, etc. Unfortunately, the above document does NOT define the Channel IDs!! As amazing as that oversight is (what is the point of the docume…

Hi, I have a Windows Server 2003 SP2 install, member of a NT4 domain (yes, i know, don't ask! :) ) When I open local users and computers section of computer management I see some users listed as "External entity" Some "external entity"'s are certain known domain users (and they have corresponding profiles under 'c:\documents and settings\'), but there are two of them that are neither local or domain users and I'd like to find out more. The NT4 domain has only one BDC and has no trusts. I've tried searching for 'external entity' but these terms are too generic. Could someone point me to some documentation where I could understand where are these users comi…

Is there a simple, straightforward list of differences betwen Server 2003 and Server 2008? I was hoping to run Windows Home Server, but it won't support my 2.5TB RAID5 array. We already have licenses for Windows Server 2003, so that's probably what we'll use, but we'd like to know what we're missing by not going to Server 2008. Example of what I'm looking for: 2003: IIS6 2008: IIS7, offering xxx and yyy that can be used for zzz ....not... 2003: IIS6 2008: IIS7

Hi, has anyone got this error before: Event ID 333 Source: Application pop up Type: Error An I/O operation initiated by the Registry failed unrecoverably. The Registry could not read in, or write out, or flush, one of the files that contain the system's image of the Registry. This is a Windows 2003 Enterprise 64 bit server with 16gb of memory. Dell say all the hardware is in good condition. The server has SQL 2005 on it too, but that's about it.
