Driver Store - Vista and Server 2008
by Guest Saucy- 3 replies
- 280 views
Hi: Is the driver store for USB/Firewire printers / scanners / camcorders or external storage devices etc. etc. the same with Vista as with Server 2008? E.g. if a device installs and works with Vista SP1 right away, can it be expected to install and work with Server 2008 - or does Server leave some drivers out? Thank you, Saucy

Missing Help and Support service
by Guest JonR- 5 replies
- 382 views
Is there a way to restore the Help and Support service on Windows 2k3 domain controllers? When I try to analyze errors in the event log by clicking the link within the description, I'm told the service isn't running. This service is not present in the Services snap in. I've located a reg file that restores these services in XP, but have come up pretty empty on the Server side. Do you know of a work around for Windows Server 2003? Thanks, Jon

How to Find Product Key for Windows 2003 Install
by Guest Will- 1 reply
- 193 views
I have an admin who no longer works here who installed two Windows 2003 servers but never documented which one of five available product keys he used. As a result now when I need to do our next Windows 2003 install I don't know which keys are really available. Microsoft makes a nice utility for Windows XP and Vista that shows the existing product key. Is there anything available for Windows 2003 so I can document which keys these mystery servers are using? -- Will

Dear all, I've got problem with my domain controller server. It always restart and sometimes it has got bule screen and message "system dump with physical memory". I reboot it and see the Event Viewer the it says "The driver detected a controller error on \Device\Harddisk0." "A parity error was detected on \Device\Ide\IdePort2." and "The device, \Device\Harddisk1, has a bad block." I am afraid if this server will crash down. I would like to know if there is other solutions about it or how can promote another server to also be a domain controller then if one fails the other takes over. Could you please help me about this problem? I look forward to hearin…

Cannot Start Executable

On a Windows 2003 server, I am logged in as an ordinary user and am trying to execute an Intuit application. I am getting an immediate failure when trying to start the application from its program group in the form of a modal dialog that says: "Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item." Normally I am very good at debugging through security problems on file ACLs. In this case though I am perplexed. The eventviewer has failures for the 560 open attempt on the executable that is as follows: Object Open: Object Server: Security Object Type: File Object Na…

Licensing: User or device CAL for standalone app computer
by Guest David Walker- 1 reply
- 231 views
Regarding CALs for Windows Server 2003: The Licensing FAQ has this to say about user and device CALs: "Q. What is the difference between a device CAL and a user CAL? A. A device CAL permits one device (used by any user) to access the server software. A user CAL permits one user (using any device) to access the server software." What about one device used by NO user? We have a computer (running Windows XP) that connects to our domain controller, and runs standalone, and runs software to receive faxes and e- mails that are sent to an archive mailbox. All of this happens with no user intervention (and rarely does any user ever look at the messages i…

Adaptec 29230LPE on 2003 Server 64Bit
by Guest dwhagerman- 0 replies

Any others running the above hardware. We have the following.. Supermicro SuperServer 6025B-URB with the latest BIOS using an Adaptec 29230LPE SCSI card that is attaching a Quantum LTO 200/400GB tape drive. The server motherboard and SCSI card both have the latest BIOS updates, and Adaptec only offers 1 driver for 64Bit. When the driver loads, random reboots happen, as well as blue screens on shutdown. Adaptec is "looking into the problem", but this has been going on for about 3 weeks now, and I need to get the tape drive back up and running! Just curious if any others run the above combo, and if they have any problems (mostly wondering about the combo of t…

Tape Backup
by Guest sblair0320- 5 replies
- 391 views
I have setup a daily full tape backup that we rotate between two tapes. I'm using Windows Backup Utility and when it preforms the backup I get the following error: "Cannot locate the specified media or backup device. This backup operation will terminate". If I mark the tape as free then the backup runs. I need the backup to override the information on the tape automatically because I'm not at the office every day and I may not be able to remote in.

Windows 2008 doing AAAA record lookups as well as A lookups even when it has no IPv6 enabled?
by Guest Peter Lawton- 0 replies

Windows 2008 doing AAAA record lookups as well as A lookups even when it has no IPv6 enabled? When doing a DNS lookup from a Windows 2008 box it does a normal A record lookup first then it does an AAAA record lookup, even when IPv6 isn't enabled, doubling the name lookups the machine does for no good purpose and doubling the load on the DNS servers. The only reference I can find on the MS site is for Vista, but implies that this shouldn't be happening http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb727035.aspx :- "The DNS Client service in Windows Vista has been designed to minimize the impact on DNS servers when performing DNS name queries through the …
