Hello, I am trying to update local security settings using secedit tool. The windows server 2000 (SP4) server is connected to domain.

I have bought a new server with 2x disks which i have setup as raid 1 and created 2 partions on. Partition 1 is for windows 2003 and partition 2 ia for AD. Now I know that the partitioning side of things is correct but am i ok with both of them being on 1 raid disk, should i actually be using 2x seperate raid 1 disk arrays for each partition? -- Martin Newbie

Port Forwarding Question
by Guest Rachiano- 1 reply
- 204 views
Hi, I have a general question about port forwarding: Let's assume I have the following scenario: I have a router (Hardware router) with 2 interfaces. One interface connected to the internet and the other interface connected to my LAN. I set up port forwarding for http traffic(Port 80) to a specific IP address in my LAN. The server to which the traffic is forwarded hosts a website which runs on IIS. When a client from the internet enters the url bound to the address of the external interface of my router the traffic will be passed to the webserver. Now I have set up the website to log all traffic in IIS. For all connections an event will be written to the l…

Server Raid Options

- 155 views
Hello, I have a question on how I should set up my Raid scheme for a new web server. I have a Perc 5/e raid controller, and (8) 73 GB sas hard drives. I was thinking that I could do a raid 5 with 7 disks and use one as the hot spare. My needs are to have 4 partitions. 120 gb - OS, 120 - websites, 100- ftp, 100 - misc data. Can I include the active partition in the raid 5, I have read no, I think. Any ideas would be great.

File locking help
by Guest brentb- 2 replies
- 216 views
I have an interesting issue that hopefully someone can provide some insight to. I have 2 shares on a 2003 server (share1 and share2). Share2 sits within the directory structure of share1. If a user maps directly to share2, it's as if file locking is disabled. All office files within this tree are able to be edited by multiple users simultaneously. However if the users map to share1 and browse to the folder that is shared as share2 the files are locked as they should be. What is more interesting is if a user mapped to share2 opens a file, it is locked to another user mapped to share2, however a user mapped to share1 is able to edit the same document. The cl…

NT broadcast command from older software
by Guest edocnekorb@aol.com- 2 replies
- 218 views
I have a situation where some servers have been updated to Windows Server 2003, but are running software designed for Windows NT server. It is UPS monitoring software that has been obsolete for some time now. Although the monitoring behavior of the application seems to run fine, it has the ability to send an NT broadcast during certain events. I was wondering if I am expecting too much that an NT-oriented broadcast will work on a 2003 domain. Thanks, Ed.

KeyUpdateTool for Windows 2003?
by Guest DaveB- 0 replies
- 196 views
Is there a version of the KeyUpdateTool (http://www.microsoft.com/genuine/selfhelp/PKUInstructions.aspx) that will work on Windows 2003 Server? This article (http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;Q328874) says that it applies to Windows 2003, but I'm not clear on how. We have some W2K3 servers that we are virtualizing, but since they were installed with the OEM product key, the new virtual machine asks for product activation when the hardware changes. We have a volume license that we can use, but we need to be able to change the key somehow without being too disruptive. Any ideas? Dave

Unable to Telnet to port 17 (QOTD)

Hello, I'd like to get the qotd service running on our LAN as part of a way to inform users. I've enabled Simple TCP on our Windows 2003 Server SP2 but when I telnet to port 17 on the server to test I get a flashing cursor only - not a quote. The quote file is in the correct location. The server and workstation I'm testing from both have McAfee VirusScan Enterprise 8.5.0i - I've disabled the Access Protection components of these (the bit that does port blocking I believe) when testing but still no joy. The MS how to article seemed straightforwared so I'm not sure what else I can check. Any pointers would be greatly appreciated as the feature would be …

server sb 03 refuses to share
by Guest whizr- 2 replies
- 227 views
I've got a bit of a conundrum. I setup a small business 03 server and it runs great.. i went to setup some profile based network drive mapping and it keeps erroring on the server side saying "you don't have creation privileges" "you have to create the folder manually" so i did. But the workstation doesn't see it. On further examination I (as the administrator) can't even jump to it through the UNC path. I then ran an experiment, share a folder on both C and one on D with the same security on the share and the folder. I can access the share off the C drive but not the D drive. I have been dealing with windows for years and access privileges are no stranger but th…

Scheduled task, ran interactively ?
by Guest andyjgw- 2 replies
- 229 views
Hi Here's what I'm trying to do: Create a scheduled task that will be installed via group policy as a computer startup script, that will run at a certain time a day and interact with the currently logged on user. The task creation and such works fine, but I'm stuck in that the task runs with local SYSTEM privileges and thus the user never sees the interface (actually, an HTA html application pop up). I've tried messing around with /U and /RU switches with "schtasks / create" to no avail. If I specify the user, then it prompts for that user's password - and the problem with that anyway is that if User A puts in their password, but User B happens to be th…

Hi As above, I have inherited a 2K3 Server will multiple NTFS Partitions on a Hardware RAID 5 configuration (DELL Poweredge). I want to keep a separate partition for the system but the data needs consolidating into a single partition instead of 4 250 GB ones. The box is a Production Fileserver so downtime needs to be minimal, a bit of a search shows up various ways of doing this. Using Diskpart to extend volumes but this relies on being able to move the data somewhere else delete a partition then extend the partition into the unpartitioned space and I don;t really relish the thought of doing it for 4 partitions. Acronis Disk Director 'states' thi…
