Windows 2003 server doesn't authenticate with any W2003 DC
by Guest bojantest@spanltd.com- 4 replies
- 393 views
I have a problem with one of my Windows 2003 member servers. It doesn't authenticate with any Domain Controllers on the same domain or on the different standalone domains. If I try to access the shares on any DC it will prompt for the username and password I provide domain\username and password but it gives wrong password error. If I try to go to the shares from windows 2000 DC it authenticates fine. If I try to go to share of Windows 2003 non-DC servers it authenticates fine. Connecting to XP and Windows 2000 workstations also works fine. What can be I problem? I don't see any errors in the logs. Is there any helper services used for authentication with …

Using Iexpress to wrap BAT file containing Env Variables
by Guest gary- 2 replies
- 306 views
(Had posted this in microsoft.public.windows.server.scripting but thought mayube it would be better here. If anyone thinks there is a better forum to post this in, please indicate. Thanks.) Hello. I have a batch file that we'd like to run as a service so that it runs before a user logs on. I have used Iexpress to wrap the BAT file into an EXE, and used instsrv and srvany to create a service. The problem is that the BAT file contains environment variables. When I run the bat at the command prompt, it runs fine. But when I run the EXE created by iexpress, it fails because none of the environment variables defined in the BAT file are getting set.. Is th…

Can't interact with Scheduled Task
by Guest mj.redfox.mj@gmail.com- 3 replies
- 323 views
Hello, I have a Scheduled Task that is set to run at Startup on a Windows Server 2003. I have allowed 'interact with desktop' in the Task Scheduler service. However, when I Remote Desktop to the server and log on as the same domain user that the Scheduled Task runs under, I still can't interact with the GUI of the application that the scheduled task launches. (The process is definitely running in Task Manager). I suspect the problem is somehow caused by the Scheduled Task kicking off at System Startup (i.e. following the nightly server restart, which is when I need it to start) before anyone is actually logged in - is there any way of accessing the appl…

logon server question
by Guest Stephen Berger- 2 replies
- 380 views
I have a windows 2000 mixed mode domain with (2) 2003 servers as DC. One is local and the other is over a wan link. It looks like all users are authenticating to the remote server whether they are local or not. This is causing havoc in my login script. I had thought that whichever server answered first (usually the local) would authenticate the user, but this may not be the case. Both should be GC. FSMO roles are split between the servers. Does one FSMO role more control the logon process? Any input is appreciated Thanks

User home folder name remains when another user is re-mapped
by Guest Techhead- 3 replies
- 364 views
If user A logs into a computer, the "H" drive is mapped to his/hers home folder and displays the name of the folder that it is mapped to. Example, bjohnson on 'fileserver' (H:). If user B logs in, "H" is re- mapped to this users folder but the name of the folder still remains as user A. If you open up "H", you see user B's files but the name of the mapped folder is still user A. It's almost like it's cached. Is there some king of registry setting to clear this kind of cache? I force the disconnect and the mapping is not persistent. Any ideas?

Problems logging onto DC using Remote Desktop as admin of another domain
by Guest Curtis Fray- 3 replies
- 379 views
Hi, I have a Windows 2003 DC in one domain. I've added the administrator account of another Windows 2003 domain (in a seperate forest) to the "Remote Desktop Users" group. However, when I try to logon using the admin account of the other domain I get an error saying: "To log on to this remote computer, you must be granted Allow log on through Terminal Services right. By default, member of the Remote Desktop Users group have this right..." All trusts are in place and working, RDC is fine when logging on with local admin rights. Is there another step I'm missing? Thanks, Curtis. -- Please reply to news group only. Thank you.

LSASRV/SPNEGO error
by Guest Brion- 0 replies
- 250 views
Hi everyone, We've been periodically seeing the following error message on all 4 of our Windows 2003 DC/DNS servers: Source: LSASRV Category: SPNEGO (Negotiator) Type: Warning Event ID: 40960 Description: The Security System detected an authentication error for the server cifs/127.0.0.1. The failure code from authentication protocol Kerberos was "There are currently no logon servers available to service the logon request. (0xc000005e)". The error message only seems to happen occasionally, but this morning we lost DNS on all 4 servers. After rebooting all 4 servers, DNS is back. I have no idea why DNS bombed out, but I noticed the above error…

Install mapped drive as a service?

Does anyone know if this is relatively easy to accomplish? I'm trying to figure out if I can install a service on Windows 2003 that will execute a net use command? So, this will allow a network drive to be mapped without requiring a user to logon. Thanks!

Win2003 restarts itself 60 minutes after shutdown
by Guest osu9400- 3 replies
- 330 views
I am running Windows Server 2003 Standard on an old Compaq Presario desktop. (Believe it or not, it runs well and serves my needs nicely as a home server.) Many nights I'll shut down the server (not hibernate or sleep). Every time, one hour after shutdown, the server restarts itself. I cannot figure out why. This has always occurred and is still happening on a fully patched system. Any ideas what is happening here?

Slow copy from NT Domain to AD Domain
by Guest Mark- 7 replies
- 522 views
I have an NT Server, SP6 that resides on an NT Domain. It copies large (1GB) files to a AD Member Server that resides in another domain (obviously) - and furthermore the DNS servers for BOTH domains reside in the AD Domain. There are no DNS servers in the NT Domain. To assist with this somewhat - we use host files on the NT Server to direct traffic. When I copy a file within the NT domain the copy speed is avg of 500MB+/s When I copy a file across from NT to AD domain the copy speed drops to 20MB+/s Help. I need to speed this up.

Hi, I have missed something here and would like some input please guys. I have RUPS for some users, created using the %username% variable. I have VSS running on the drive where the RUP share is however the VSS does not create RUP restore points ? I either get access denied (regardless of the ACL entry) or the restore point list is blank. This issue seems to be consistant with other networks and I have only just noticed it because I needed to restire some data for a user. Any thoughts or commenst would be great. Many Thanks. Johan

Copying large files fails

Afternoon, we have had an issue with a couple of our windows 2003 servers for a few months now but it's something we now need to fix, it seems we can connect or map a drive to a servers C drive and create files on it, we can even copy small files to it from my local machine.. but as soon as I try to copy larger files (as in 4-5mb) I get an error telling me 'make sure you are connected to the network and try agian' I am definatly connected to the network and it only happens on these two servers, it also happens for others not just me... anyone any ideas? I found this http://support.microsoft.com/kb/259837 but it's the wrong OS and not quite the correct er…

IUSR_ account is locking itself
by Guest Joe Murphy- 0 replies
- 181 views
A number of times during the day the IUSR_ account locks itself. I'm pretty sure it is related to the password policy that we propagated throughout the domain, requiring password complexity and expiration after 90 days. The day after we applied this policy, Outlook Web Access stopped running and I found, after some searching, that IUSR_ was locked out. Can I just reset that password to whatever I like as long as it matches the password in the Default Site in IIS? Thanks, JM

Small Business Server extra "junk" group policies, etc.?
by Guest Joe Murphy- 2 replies
- 359 views
What was the purpose behind Small Business Server 2003? I just started at a new IT group and SBS was installed on the DC well before I got here. I'm finding all manner of extra "turds" all over the place, including group policies like "Small Business Server Lockout Policy" and "Small Business Server Windows Firewall" It looks like these were pre-baked policies that came with the OS for, well, "small" businesses so they wouldn't have to do much heavy lifting. Makes sense, in a way, but I'm ready to ditch some of this stuff and create my own policies. Any reason why I should keep them? Also I see OUs like "MyBusiness" which contain redundant OUs within …

Confused about ASR process
by Guest Guy Kerr- 8 replies
- 540 views
I feel stupid asking this question since I've found no discussions about this and feel that I must be missing something. We're doing an office move and I want to create up-to-date ASR's for each of my servers (all Server 2003). I used Windows Backup and the wizard to generate the ASR. It instructs me to insert the floppy but in no time the floppy is full and I'm asked to insert another. The backup progress indicates that I've got THOUSANDS more files (depends on which server) to backup and based on that screen I'd have to be swapping out floppies all day. Am I doing something wrong here? I expected that the process would simply copy the critical…
