- 336 views
I have a windows 2003 in workgroup having following symptoms: - if I log on as a *normal* user, once I typed in the credential, it logs me off right after - the logging off window pops up followed by the ctrl-alt-del window. This doesn't always happen but happens 9 out of 10 attemps(or more frequent) - however if I type in my credential again, I can get into the desktop - admin doesn' t have this problem - if I log on as Admin, and in the System properties window, profile, highlight the *normal* user account, the "copy to" and "remove" button is grayed out. - there was once or twice if I unplugged the power completely then log back in as Admin, the a…

Reinstalling MDAC on Windows Server 2003 SP1
by Guest Nick van Ogtrop-de Ruiter- 1 reply
- 271 views
I am confronted with an issue on a recovered Windows Server 2003 server whereby the MDAC installation appears to be corrupt. The server in question has been recovered by booting to a 2nd Windows installation, and as a result I fear there is a discrepancy between MDAC files in the Windows folder (C:\WINRESQ) and those in the Programs folder (C:\Program Files). I've run the ComponentChecker and this also finds mismatches, or at least files from 2 MDAC versions (MDAC 2.8 RTM & MDAC 2.8 SP2 on Windows Server 2003 SP1). I suspect the Programs folder files will potentially have been updated whilst the server was running with it's previous installation ... …

Hello, I am running VS on my Windows 2003 R2 SP2 file server. I see the service is running and started automatically. When I look at the volume properties and go to the VS it says scheduled every day but most have no record of any VS or just one or two runs. They have plenty of space configured for VS so I'm not sure why I don't see any history. Thanks

2.7TB RAID Volume can only partition 2.1TB
by Guest cmcnamee@gmail.com- 6 replies
- 473 views
Hi Folks, I admit I am most likely doing something wrong. I have a new server with 2.7TB RAID 5 volume (spread among 7 500GB disks), I have a 100GB NTFS boot partition and a 2TB NTFS data partition. I have 743GB of unallocated space left within the RAID container that is recognized by the windows Disk Management utility. If I right click the 743GB of unallocated space the create partition option is grayed out. If I delete the 2TB data partition I see two sections of unallocated space (2TB & 743GB) rather than one large section unallocated space. Could anyone point me to what I am doing wrong here? -Curt

Block deleteing of subtree in file system
by Guest JimiBlues- 0 replies
- 206 views
Hi, I'd like to block, in the GUI of explorer, the ability to delete a subtree in one click. For example if you have a tree Root |_dir1 |_dir2 Suppose dir1 and dir2 each have a few documents in each. I want the user to be able to delete the documents in dir1 and dir2 one-by-one or even by using Select All and delete but they should not be able to right click the Root, or dir1 or dir2 and delete the entire Subtree of Root or even dir1's and dir2's subtree. I tried to do this by giving Modify rights Applied Onto Files Only at Root (perms adavnce dialog)--and Read/Write on subfolders. But what happened is: you *can* right click Root an…

Resetting expired or forgotten passwords is getting way to expensive for our help desk. I'm looking for self service password reset functionality for our remote users. This app needs to reset the Active Directory password and have some challenge response built in. Can anyone recommend an application that's solid. Thanks, R

Win 2003 R2 sfc /scannow prompts for CDs
by Guest GeoffD- 1 reply
- 182 views
I have a server that has Windows Server 2003 R2 Std (with SP1), which received SP2 via WSUS. I'm having some trouble with the print subsystem, and I want to run SFC. When I do, it is prompting me repeated for media for Server 2003 and for SP2. I tried editing the sourcepath registry values to point to the i386 directory on the local host, rebooted, and reran sfc. Still it prompts for media. I trekked out to the data center and provided the original install CD. Still prompts... I deleted the local i386 directory, and built a fresh install with SP2 slipstreamed onto it. And still I get prompted. I even grabbed the SP2 ISO and virtual CloneDrive to …

Manual NIC Settings Not Sticking?
by Guest Chris White- 2 replies
- 228 views
Server: Windows 2003 Server hosting DFS Targets. I have set the primary NIC to manually assigned TCP/IP Settings. I changed the Gateway from my SBS2003 server, to the master Layer3 Switch. But for some reason it keeps wanting to change back to the SBS server. Very annoying as this stops DFS talking across the VLAN's on the switch (blocked by ISA2004 on the SBS). It works fine when i've set it, then for some reason like a new remote desktop to that server, it sets the Gateway back to the SBS. It also resets when I reboot the server. This is when I hate things being done for me by Windows. I want something set, and I want it for a reason. It shouldn't…

Hi, I have a Windows 2003 Server (sp1) also running Exchange 2003 Sp2. One of the drives is running out of space however I think this is all in the System Volume Information folder, however although I get "Access Denied" when trying to view inside this folder.

Hi All As I am just newly employed for this company and I found out that one of server was clonned so there is no legal license for it, and it was windows 2003 server std, and I've just purchased windows 2003 std R2.

Licensing query

We have a server running windows server 2003 and exchange server 2003. We have 77 CAL's for each product for our users. We want to set up another server for Disaster Recovery purposes, and purchase another instance of windows server 2003 and exchange server 2003. My question is, do we have to buy another 77 CALs for each product on this new server, or can they be "transferred" over. The CAL's would only ever be used on one server at once.

Servers Losing NetBios Connectivity

Hello, I have an NT4 domain with primarily Windows 2003 Member servers, in the last few days we have experienced several issues with loss of Netbios connectivity on some servers. The first issue seemed to be related to the browse list. Servers on one VLAN disappeared from the domain browse list and could not contact a master or backup browser. Rebooting the server acting which they thought was the master browser resolved the issue and the servers all appeared in the browse list again. The second issue occured with one server, it was still available in the browse list but could not be connected to via netbios. Net view command generated a system …
