Hi, I need your help to install a Win2K3 server in a second place for a school Currently, at the first place, I've a network including a Win2K3 server with a Domain which is DC with AD, DNS, DHCP and Files Server, and twenty pc (WinXP Pro SP1 et SP2) which are Domain member.

I have Mac users who save to our Windows 2000 file server. They are saving things with file names that Windows will allow you to save but won't allow you to do anything with (If I try and open the file it says file can't be found. I can't rename the file or move the file.) Is there any way to prevent the Mac users in the future from saving with invalid characters? (One of the offending characters is a funky f that has an Ascii code of 408.) TIA - Jeff.

Revert roaming profiles to local profiles?
by Guest jim- 10 replies
- 604 views
On Windows Small Business Server 2003, how would you go about reverting roaming profiles to local profiles for the users? It is a home business with only 1 PC and 2 laptops attached to a 2003 Windows Small Business Server. I think it's overkill, but its what they have presently. They are frustrated at the long shut down and boot up times, so I thought that moving their roaming profiles back to the desktops (especially since there is no "roaming" taking place) would help them with this issue. Does anyone know how this is done? jim

VSS on 15TB Volume

Hi there, I try to activate VSS on a 15TB Volume on a Windows 2003 R2 SP2. But this always fails. All hotfixes for VSS are installed. When I try to activate VSS on a Volume smaller 10TB it works. Is there a limitation on x32 Systems. Or on VSS itsself? Any help? Thanx

Software RAID
by Guest UselessUser- 2 replies
- 231 views
Hi all, I was just wondering about software RAID, and how the server boots after a failed disk. I have read various horror stories about RAID 1 requiring a boot disk if the primary disk fails.. and that people get around that by putting an mbr on the second disk, and editing boot.ini to reference both disks... I have also heard rumours that if the primary disk fails, and the user breaks the mirror, then attempts to boot the second disk fail because it is listed in the registry as a drive letter other than C: which causes problems... Can anyone confirm/deny any of this and explain how it works?!

I have about 15 WinTerms running off of one App Server (Windows Server 2003). Everyone has Messenger in their profile. Lately, Messenger has been recycling (relogging everone back in) frequently. My customer thinks that the internet keeps losing its connection, but I think it is a problem with Messenger. Does anyone heve any thoughts on this? Is there a way I can tune Messenger? Please don't recommend that I get Messenger server. I can't do that for 15 people!

by Guest lir- 1 reply

Dear all: Please, help me out... I installed a clean installation of WSUS3.0 on a Windows 2k3 SP2. I configured the group policy hotfixes distribution. I saw this error on the server side: Event ID 13051 No client computers have ever contacted the server. and this one on the client side: Event ID 16 Unable to Connect: Windows is unable to connect to the automatic updates service and therefore cannot download and install updates according to the set schedule.

File access and permission help
by Guest UselessUser- 1 reply
- 197 views
Hi, I have walked into a new scenario which is odd for me! Basically I have a server which has this structure E:\HomeDirectory\%username% The folder HomeDirectory is shared, with share permissions set as Everyone Full Access. NTFS permissions have only administrators, creater owner, and system as full control. If we create a new user in AD with their H drive set to: \\server\HomeDirectory\%username% This creates the folder correctly and it is perfectly usable... Now we have a few users who are right clicking their H and selecting make available offline, and this is working fine. However I could not do this myself (I do not run as domain adm…

When I pull up the Properties of My Computer on a Server 2003 box, there's nothing to say whether it's R2 or not. Is there a way to tell from the GUI that it's R2?

DSF vs DFS Namespace UI - Does it matter?
by Guest chris.wilkins10@virgin.net- 0 replies
- 195 views
Hi All, I'm setting up DFS on Server 2003 R2 for the first time so this is a steep learning curve. I started by using the 'Distributed File Sytem' from the administration program list. I've set up a few test ROOT's and ROOT TARGET's I've set up a few test LINK's and LINK targets I have set up relication of both LINK's and ROOT TARGET's All seems to work fine. Files are relicating between two file servers. But I'm a bit confused over the DFS Management in the File Server Management MMC. My question is:- Is there any difference in the 'DFS' and 'DFS Namespace' user interfaces (apart from the terms used ie. ROOTs now are refered as NAMESPACEs, LINKs now is…

Help with file system
by Guest Martin Swain- 1 reply
- 220 views
Hi, I have a pretty huge problem with a Windows 2003 server. It's a member server in an active directory domain, and it's configured as a fileserver, also as a WINS server and DHCP server. A little background: our domain controller, an SBS 4.5 machine, recently crashed, and so we created a new domain controller using Active Directory on another Windows 2003 server. The problem with my fileserver started when we disjoined it from the old domain and added it to the Active Directory. Ever since, we have no local access to the file system. When we start Windows Explorer, an error message appears that says 'this operation has been cancelled due to restrictions…

NO FTP from clients behind Routing and Remote Access NAT
by Guest dwadles@gmail.com- 2 replies
- 247 views
I have a feeling I'm just overlooking the obvious, but this is driving me nuts. Clients on a Windows Server 2003 R2 Domain cannot connect to FTP sites. The server itself CAN. Server is 2003R2 64bit, running 2 nics with Routing and Remote Access. Basic Firewall is off. When any machine behind the NAT tries to access any FTP site I get "Connection closed by remote host." I have done some digging and if I run the command "netsh routing ip nat delete ftp" then I have slightly more communication. At this point I am able to log in, go through user name and password, but when I try to do a directory listing, it hangs, until the connection drops. Any help is…

Mainframe to 2003 box via telnet
by Guest AR10T- 0 replies
- 165 views
First I am NOT the expert on servers, I work with our IBM mainframe. We are executing a job on the mainframe that telnets to the 2003 box and starts an executable program on the 2003 box. The program opens a GUI window and runs independent from the mainframe which would then close the telnet session. No data is passed back to the mainframe. Below is the code we use once the telnet session is open and connected to the 2003 box: V2vwatch.exe autostart noshow What we have found is that v2vwatch.exe will show up in Task Manager/Processes list but not in the Task Manager/Applications list. The v2vwatch program does not open up on the screen when starte…
