Sever 2008 Backup fails with Virtual Server 2005 R2
by Guest HMike- 4 replies
- 365 views
Full Server backup has failed every time since Virtual Server was installed. The error message received is ... The VSS writer for Virtual Server failed during the PostBackup phase, during the mounting of disk \\?\GLOBALROOT\Device\HarddiskVolumeShadowCopy71\Users\Public\Documents\Shared Virtual Machines\Win2k3VPC\Win2k3VPC.vhd for virtual machine Win2k3VPC. The disk was a foreign/offline disk and the writer failed to make it Online, in order to access volumes on the disk. I do not beleive the disk is foreign (standard fixed size VHD) and definitely not offline. If I take the VM offline backup will work OK. However I would prefer for the VM to rema…

Problems Promoting Windows 2008 Core to Domain Controller
by Guest Marks70- 3 replies

Hello, I am not having any success trying to promote my Windows 2008 Core server to a domain controller. Everytime I try to promote it, I get the following error: "You must specify the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of the domain in which you want to add this additional domain controller." I'm definitely specifying the domain in the unattend file. Here is the contents of the unattend file I'm pointing to: [DCINSTALL] UserName=test.local\administrator UserDomain=test.local Password=Password SiteName=Default-First-Site-Name ReplicaOrNewDomain=replica DatabasePath="C:\Windows\NTDS" LogPath="C:\Windows\NTDS" SYSVOLPath="C:\Windows\SYSVOL" Instal…

moving file server to new domain
by Guest Mizzleman- 3 replies
- 389 views
Hello, I need to migrate a few file servers from one AD domain to a new AD domain. We will be using a 3rd party tool to set up the user accounts and groups in the new domain based up on the structure of the old domain. How can I easily set up the permissions on the files, folders and shares on the file server in the new domain once I move it over? I would prefer not to have to manually visit each folder and share and set it up with the new domain permissions. Thanks.

by Guest TheScullster- 1 reply

Hi all Can anyone tell me if I'm likely to get problems mixing Office versions in a roaming profile environment? To put that in English, we are generally running Office 2003 on our desktops with roaming profiles enabled. I have recently aquired a laptop for one user which has Office 2007 installed. If he shifts between the two platforms with them hooked up to the network, will I get profile conflict issues? TIA Phil

I have 2 sites each running Win 2k3 Server with a common active directory using a VPN tunnel on our firewall to connect the two sites. At site one we have an external VPN server setup to allow our remote locations to log in and access Docs etc. At each site we have the users home folders for that site setup up in a data folder at that location. An example is Site 1 User A, B, and C each have a home folder under \\server1\data\A etc - Site 2 User D, E and F, have a home folder under \\server2\data\D etc. We didn't want to sync all the home folders bwteen the sites to save space on our servers.

Hi. Can anyone point me to a good source of information that describes the Windows printing architecture in detail, how all the components fit together and interact, and what the interfaces between them are? I'm interested in: - Any libraries an application that prints uses - GDI - The spooler - Print providers - Printer drivers, including universal printer drivers - Port/language monitors - Local vs remote printing - EMF vs XPS I have an article from The Code Project and Brian Madden's guide to Terminal Services printing. Thanks.

by Guest Jeff Clegg- 0 replies

Hi there. I'm trying to get a WePOS (Windows Embedded Point of Service) RiPrep image to deploy via RIS. Unfortunately after I log into the Client Installation Wizard and choose my RiPrep Image I get Error 00004e44 - which leads me to KB262801 (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/262801). I do have WePOS RiSetup image on the RIS box. One of the bullet points in KB262801 mentions an NTOSKRNL.exe hotfix, which we have applied since the WePOS 1.1 version does not ship with a version of NTOSKRNL.exe (The step by step guide at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms911830.aspx says to install http://support.microsoft.com/kb/814199 on page 2).
