Hi Question about server en workstations defragmentation Is there a way to centrally manage disc defrag in a small network with one SBS 2003 server, AD -DC configured and 10 XP SP2 Workstations ? my workaround is to set a scheduling on each workstation to run "defrag.exe c: -f" wich is not the best practice. with this workaround i'm unable to create an overview of each workstationhealthstatus. Can i install a tool that enables me to manage disc cleanup- defrag and disccheck from the active directory for example and give me statusreport ? Thank you in advance Best regards Maxime

Hi, I have been charged with creating a front end system for a web hosting solution. The company I work for is a large ISP based in Northern/Southern Ireland. We will be working with the Microsoft RDP team on this, as we have entered into partnership with them, and thus so will be used as a case study. Basically we are aiming for a robust deployment scenario, where upon sign up the clients website/space is created and deployed as automatically as possible, through the management interface I am designing (Similar to the way PIPEX do it). Here is the spec (That I have so far and its far from finished): • Web Hosting By default we'd like new site…

MAC and POP3 or IMAP
by Guest dalew007- 0 replies
- 226 views
I have a server 2003 with exchange 2003 environment with client machines running XP Pro SP2. These are connected to the domain and working fine. We have just taken on a few graphic designers which have requested they use MACS. I have managed to connect them to the network so they can access the server shares. They can access their email via OWA internally and externally but they are moaning and want to use MACmail. How do in configure this to connect to the server either via IMAP or POP3 internally? I have googled the question and tried a few times but i cant seem to be able to get this to work. Any help would be greatly appreciated. -- dalew007 ----…

Security Configuration Wizard: parameter incorrect error
by Guest Bhozar- 0 replies
- 202 views
Hi, I am currently experiencing a problem with the Security Configuration Wizard on Windows 2003 Web Edition. Each time I run it on a three of our servers it gives and error: "Problem: The parameter is incorrect." This happens after the Processing Security Configuration Database task completes and I click next. Nothing is reported in any SCW logs, system log or application log. I tried to use Sysinternals ProcessMonitor to see if it picked anything up. No luck. I have spent hours looking on Google to find nothing useful. Other near identical servers running the same software and setup don’t have these errors. Does anyone know what else I can do…

Problem with w32time, unalbe to sync!
by Guest Nibe- 3 replies

Hi, I have two DC running on W2003sp2, on the primary I try to install an authoritative time server with an external time source. I read any kind of documentation but I still receive after the command w32tm /resync /rediscover the same message: Sending resync command to local computer.... The computer did not resync because no time data was available. I'm going mad, I really don't understand what could be. Here the regedit parameters: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\w32time] "Type"=dword:00000020 "Start"=dword:00000002 "ErrorControl"=dword:00000001 "ImagePath"=hex(2):25,00,53,00,79,00,73,00,74,00,65,00,6d,00,52,00,6f,00,6f,00,\ 74,…

Is it possible to Write-Protect USB block storage devices on Win2k
by Guest TekSimple- 0 replies
- 210 views
I am familiar with how to write protect USB drives on Windows XP SP2, (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\StorageDevicePolicies. That registry setting works very well with group policy, but for our workstations only. The same registry setting does nothing for a Windows Server 2003 box. I need to prevent even accidental writes to removable storage devices on one particular server for overarching security policy reasons (rather than for practical purposes). Does anyone know how this can be done without "upgrading" to Longhorn beta or using a third party product?

Set Processor affinity to run an application over just 4 or 5 core
by Guest RSOLY777- 5 replies
- 424 views
Hello, How can I set an application running on windows server 2003 to use only 4 or 5 cores on a Dual Quad Processor machine? It must be able to always run this way even in the event of a re-boot. I want all applications to be able to use all cores but want to limit this specific application to always only use th3 defined 4 or 5 cores, (This is due to a license restriction in the Software that We will be using). Does MS have an application that will allow me to do this? This can mean the difference between a $40,000.00 License and a $80.000.00 License. I do not want to use any virtual server technology software to accomplish this. Thanks Robert

Random loss of network resources
by Guest Snozz- 1 reply
- 230 views
At random my win xp machines will seem to lose connectivity to network shares hosted on Win Server 2003. The win xp machine is joined to a .local domain hosted on the same server as the network drive or Visual source safe database. Logging off and logging back on reestablishes the connection, but this is getting to be a huge annoyance. I seems to occur once a day at varying times. I have made sure that the power settings for my network adapter are set to never turn it off. Event viewer shows this: Event Type: Warning Event Source: LSASRV Event Category: SPNEGO (Negotiator) Description: The Security System detected an attempted downgrade attack fo…

I imagine that it is OK to delete the files, but I wanted to check with everyone to make sure that you haven't experience anything detrimental from doing so. Thanks, S

defragmenter is already running
by Guest George Valkov- 2 replies
- 276 views
I understand that running defrag.exe utility on two partitions which are on one and same physical hard-disk is a bad idea. What about defragmenting two partitions from two physical hard-disks in parallel. I think that this will require less time to complete the batch job. 1. Am I correct? 2. Can I workaround that restriction and run two instances of defrag.exe at the same time? I always do this with chkdsk.exe: A script "chk2.bat", when executed it spawns an instance of it self for each physical disk. Each instance checks the partitions of it's disks one by one and notifies the main instance when complete. When all spawned instances complete, the …

Web Services and Scheduled Tasks
by Guest PhilV- 0 replies
- 207 views
Hello. I am attempting to use a Web Service to create scheduled tasks. This works locally, on a workstation running XP, but when I move the web service, or a standalone application to a W2003 server, and attempt to create Scheduled Tasks, nothing happens. I have been researching. I ran across a reference to Action Control Lists and Web Services, dealing with the Microsoft Commerce Service. Specifically, granting full control with the cacls command. cacls tasks /e /g <data_domain_name>\MarketingWebSvc:f, Also, looking on some MSDN pages, it appears that the Web Services are by default created with least privilges, so as to avoid exploitation.

Vista Machines Locking up Network??

I've been running a Windows 2003 SP2 server with 15+ XP Pro workstations for over a year. No Problems...... then Last Week we added 4 new workstations (VISTA) to our network and now we've been having issues with not being able to get to the internet etc.. This appears to be only an internet access issue. The probelm begins with a vista system (Random) then resonates throughout the network to all sysems. Could my vista machines be creating an issue that locks my other system from getting out? My settings are as follows: W2K3 server DHCP DNS (with external requests forwarded to ISP) GATEWAY points to Router All workstations point to my server for DNS…

print job with long path name fails
by Guest Mark Warbeck- 0 replies
- 196 views
Hi all, I have a Windows 2003 Active Directory domain. When people print a PDF from a web browser, the path to the file as seen in the print queue is quite long (C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\local settings\temporary internet files\<random_folder_name\file.pdf). These jobs stick in the queue and the status says "printing-printing error". The printer (print device in MS jargon) shows no activity, no data light). Usually someone else tries to print and jobs back up. If I cancel the offending job, all the others print. The printer is connected to the server via LPR ports and a 10BaseT network. It happens on a number of printers, most recent…

i have a bunch of folders that need to be taken over and perms reset.

Network slow after removing old server - Why?
by Guest TSprau@gmail.com- 5 replies
- 420 views
We recently replaced several old servers with one new machine that does it all in one box. Removal of 3 of the servers went just fine, but one of the old servers is causing problems. The trouble-making server was running Server 2000 and was used as a file server. All files have been properly moved, all shortcuts have been changed, but when we disconnect the old server, the network slows down noticeably. When we reconnect the server, the speed returns to normal. I have watched the 'sessions' window for an extended period of time, and I notice that various machines come and go quickly and few are logged on for more than a few moments. It's as if the machines wan…
