Local Security Policy Management Console
by Guest Donovan- 3 replies
- 305 views
Hello, On my Windows 2003 Server when I try to open the Local Security Policy management console I instead get the WINS management console. This server used to be a DC, but is now just a member server. WINS has been uninstalled from the server. Is there a way I can restore the link so that it correctly opens the Local Security Policy management console? Thank you, Donovan

Network (hardware and software) discovery
by Guest John- 8 replies

Hi, I'd like to use any "smart" program to discover my computers on the network and get some reports. Everest Professional is very nice product but I need to run it on EVERY computer. I've checked LOGinventory and similar products... Well, my idea is: I have 200 computers on my network and I need to run once per month network discovery tool and collect hardware and software details from computer. Report must include like following: computer name, disk, memory and CPU characteristics, operating system, and all other settings are optional... Please advice what to use for this. p.s. any Microsoft products, like System Center Essentials maybe or...? …

Server 2003 Blue Screen at Logon
by Guest Rick Clapp- 9 replies
- 605 views
I have a Dell 700 Server running Windows 2003 SP1 and acting as a domain control on the other side of the world. The server works fine unless you attempt to logon remotely (RPD) or locally. If you do it crashes and creates a memory.dmp file. When you attempt to logon in again you get the crash message. System Failure: Stop Error 0x00000008 (0xc0000005, 0x809413c4, 0xf29098dc, 0x00000000) No module or process is shown. The system doesn't have symbols loaded so the crash analyser I have doesn't help. The right thing to do is contact MS to get assistance. My manager won't let me use one of our MS incidents because then she has to explain to her …

Interoperability between SFU 3.5 and R2
by Guest Jinbo- 0 replies

Hi, I know it is a weird request. But it has been giving me major headaches... My goal is to provide NFS service to my Linux clients from our main file sharing server, which is running 2003 R1 with SFU 3.5 installed. This main file server is also a domain controller. I have another domain controller running Windows R2. Presently, I have all my Linux clients using Active Directory LDAP Authentication provided by this R2 DC. I have no NIS service running anywhere. My question is, in this environment, how do I make the main file server (SFU 3.5 on R1) provide NFS service to our Linux client? Without having to maintain a manual mapping list? I tried…

Hi there, I have just installed 2003 Server Standard on a hard disk. It sits on a partition which is a basic volume and occupies 100% of the disk space. Is it possible to split that down so I can create new partitions? Do I have to use a 3rd party util or can I use the OS itself. Cheers, Simon

Server 2008 a stopgap..... true or false?
by Guest Richard Thompson- 1 reply

Windows Server 2008 is literally around the corner! I believe the launch is next week sometime! One of my colleagues has been punting that this is a stop gap operating system and Microsoft is going to be rushing to get the next server os out as soon as possible. I`ve already read rumours of the next client os which is supposedly going to replace Vista is already well in development and people believe it will be out next year. True or not, I dont really care! I am worried about the server os. Now, I dont expect any Microsoft employees or MVP`s to respond because I know you guys sign NDA`s and things like that which do not allow you to share such infor…

I have configured my settings for the SUS server in the registry. The only problem is it does not automatically install the updates. I have attached a copy of the registry key. Does anyone have any idea where I need to make the changes so as to have the updates installed automatically. [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate] "WUServer"="http://VP125SVR1" "WUStatusServer"="http://VP125SVR1" "TargetGroupEnabled"=dword:00000001 "TargetGroup"="CHF" "ElevateNonAdmins"=dword:00000001 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate\AU] "NoAUShutdownOption"=dword:00000001 "NoAUAsDefaultShutdownOption"=dword:…

Data Backup options
by Guest Sher- 5 replies
- 421 views
Hi all, I know this is not really a microsoft question, but I wanted to ask about backup options. We are a non-profit mid sized business currently using tape backup on four different servers. I was wondering if there is a more relible method of backup up data in case of a disaster. Currently I take the friday backup tapes across town to a safe deposit box. (putting us a week behind in case of a disaster). Also I do not get Saturday or Sunday backups if users work on the weekend. I know there are option for backup appliances but that would mean they are in the same building as the servers. Are there any new options to cover auto backups, disaster re…

EFS File recovery
by Guest S Sainsbury- 1 reply

I have setup a PKI on a windows 2003 domain. I am testing the key recovery before rolling out PKI to users but am having difficulty. I encrypted a file called test.txt which was located on a network share (delegation setup) After encrypting the file I checked the details and it showed as "Administrator" being set as the recovery agent. I then logged onto the file server where the file resides and attempted to access it, my assumption being that as I was logging on as administrator who has been set as the recovery agent I would be able to decrypt the file, unfortunatly it failed with "access denied". Am I missing something simple here? Any helps …
