Hi all, I have a heavily used file server and users keep compressing their home drives. This is having an impact on performance and I;d like to restrict who can use the compression feature. I know I can disable it across the board as an option but can I actually restrict compression to say the administrators group? Thanks

Monitor Shutdown progress?
by Guest Mario Schmidt- 3 replies
- 282 views
Hello group! Our servers (Windows 2003 SP1 and current patchlevel) take very long to shut down, most of the time there is almost no disk access so it looks like the machine just sits there and waits for something to happen (what doesn't). Is there any chance to monitor somehow, what exactly happens during a shutdown oder startup? I think about a little monitor window showing all running processes and services which updates instantly so you can see whats going on and what causes the machine to wait. The event log tells me nothing. I've also tried the checked build of winlogon.exe and enabled the logfile, but this also doesn't tell me which processe…

Confused About Folder Rights
by Guest Art Cabot- 5 replies
- 386 views
I had to move some folders from one 2003 server to another and now people can't write to them. The properties show "Read Only" on the folder, the AD Group has Modify rights and the same group has all rights to the share. They can write if they go to the share, but not if they have a drive mapped (via login script) directly to the folder. I've never been totally up-to-speed on Windows rights, but I'm really trying to understand this. Anybody have a clue for me? -- Art Cabot Director, Information Technology Sizemore, Inc.

Cant install any software from a netwwork drive.

I have a windows server 2003 R3 SP2 domain setup with all workstations running the same OS and SP level. I cant install software on any of the workstations when mapped to a network drive. I am logged in as the domain admin and as such would think that I would be able to install software on the workstation. If I copy the files locally then I can perform the software install. Is there a new policy in winsvr2k3SP2 tha prevents running executables from a remote netwrok drive? Thanks

1010, 1016 & 1014 DHCP errors
by Guest Olivier- 2 replies
- 258 views
Dear All, Our DHCP server (WIN2K3 SP1) shows event ID 1010, 1016 & 1014 in the Event log. There is enough space on the C drive where the DHCP (& backup) database resides. I’ve also uncheck the ‘Allow Indexing Service to index this disk for fast file searching’ option but this doesn’t solve the issue. I’ve found some articles for NT4 & 2000 server discussing similar issues but not for 2003. Any help would be highly appreciated. Thanks in advance, Olivier

Shortcut - Properties->Find Target button
by Guest Ean Wilson- 6 replies
- 460 views
Running Server 2003 SP2. If I right-click on any shortcut on my system, go to properties, then click the Find Target button, nothing happens. All other functions work, it's only the Find Target button that seems "dead". I've tried every shortcut I could find (on the desktop, within folders, etc..). Might there be a simple registry key/value that got accidentally altered/deleted that would cause the Find Target button in a shortcut's property window to not function? Any help and advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Intermittent Connection Errors
by Guest Mike Reagan- 1 reply
- 204 views
I am not sure if this is the correct newsgroup to post in. Recently (last 2 months or so) we started seeing errors in our web apps on our production web server. At first glance, they seem SQL Server like SQL Server connection errors with ASP.NET 2.0. Example of error: A transport-level error has occurred when receiving results from the server. (provider: TCP Provider, error: 0 - An established connection was aborted by the software in your host machine.) A reboot seemed to fix the problem, but only for a while. Then the problem became more frequent. I thought it was .NET specific. But then I noticed some ASP 3 apps were having problems too, and was…

NTBackup set description switch
by Guest Bird Byte- 0 replies
- 189 views
I'm trying to set up an automated backup that uses (up to) a 5 tape rotation and fires daily. The idea is to do a weekly normal backup one day, and then differentials the next 4 days. Each week a different tape will be inserted. I'd like to configure the media so that no matter which tape is in the drive, the backup will find it and run (it's more important for us to ensure a daily backup than overwriting last week's data). Currently, all the tapes are named "Weekly", and each tape has a different description - Weekly 01, Weekly 02... I've added media using Removeable Storage Management and have had successful backups up until I introduced the Weekly; …

troubleshooting PERFMON counters

Last week I posted a question about troubleshooting performance moinitor counters. Unfortunately it went unanswered. I've got more information and am hoping someone may be able to point me in the right direction. I have a Windows 2003 Server that I am trying to run performance monitor against. This server is running Exchange 2003. Initially all of the Performance Monitor Counters and Objects would only display as numbers - these numbers meant absolutely nothiing to me and made collecting data impossible. Using MS KB article 152513 I was able to determine that the "Performance Registry Key" was missing the "009" subkey (don't know where it went - …

I am running a scheduled task that executes shutdown.exe and it works fine, except that when all is done, it gives the message "It is now safe to turn off your computer" instead of completely shutting off.

Hello, I have a Windows 2003 Active directory network with Windows XP clients. Is it possible to deploy Wireless settings to clients (XP) so they can connect to our company Wireless Access Point? I would like to be able to send the SSIS and our 64 bit WEP key. If this can be done, how would one be able to do it? I went into the Wireless group policy, but I do not see a place where I can have the WEP key distributed. Thanks, Mark budman@generation.net

Hi! I have a problem with time synchronization on a MS Windows Server 2003 SP2. In the Windows domain there are two DCs (both Windows Server 2003 SP2).

We are trying to migrate from Novell 6.5 to Windows 2003 Server as part of the lab we need to export DNS/DHCP from novell and import into Server 2003. We can export Novell fine to a text file but seem unable to find a way to import that back into Server 2003, does anyone have any ideas about how to go about this as we do not want to have to re-create all the scopes and fixed IP's again. Cheers, James.

slow preparing network connections

I recently deployed an exchange server at a school that I do IT support for, and all was going well. Just last week, It started to slow down in regards to shutting down and starting up. When the Ethernet cable is plugged in, it sits there in excess of 20 mins, at which point I restart the machine manually by holding the button in. When the Ethernet cable is unplugged during startup, the machine will load instantly, and log into a cached profile. When the Ethernet cable is plugged back in after login, all network services (but not the ones relevant to exchange) are restored. TCP/IP is set manually, with the Prefered DNS being the main DC, and the Alternate be…
