"replacing invalid security ID" message leads to an hours-long scan on startup, how to fix?

"replacing invalid security ID" message leads to an hours-long scan on startup, how to fix? I have a 2003 Windows Server server that on startup starts an hours-long scan of the filesystem saying: "replacing invalid security id with default security id..." I think this might have resulted from an automatic RAID rebuild of the disk, though I am not certain. The files behave normally once I abort the scan. I am wondering how I can fix this while the server has Windows loaded up. I don't want the server offline for hours and hours. The server is local to me and I have full administrator rights on and total control over the system. Ideas? Thank you, -…

Gurus, Running Windows XP Pro SP3. I run my computer as a limited (non-administrator). There is one program I need to launch as an administrator, and I certainly know how to right-click and select "Run As" and input administrative credentials. But what happens is if I save data under that program it goes to the Administror's My Documents and not to my own. So I need to figure out how to use "Run As" but send data to my profile. This would apply to Windows Server 2003 as well I guess. -- Spin

"save as" on server
by Guest Roland Schneider- 2 replies
- 440 views
Hello, in one network we have the following problem: users on workstations can't use "save as" with any application such as Word, Notepad, Adobe PDF standard, to a 2003 R2 Server (no active directory). In this case the application hangs. All other functions, such as copy, delete, save ..., are working well. This happens on all clientcomputers in this enviorement. I tried it also with administrator-rights for this users. Has anyone a idea to solve this problem? Thanks in advance!

Hi, When browsing to servers via UNC, the "Scheduled Tasks" share does not show up anymore. It used to show up, but now the window is just blank when browsing to \\<servername>. I am a member of the Local Administrators group, I have administrative privileges on the servers. When connecting to this server by Remote Desktop and by opening a windows explorer with \\<servername>, I can see the Scheduled Tasks share listed. Moreover when I am running a schtasks command from my computer on this server: schtasks /query /s <servername> I am getting a: Error: Access is Denied. But if run locally, it works fine and lists the scheduled jobs.…

"Secure" approach for remote execution of commands (least priv)
by Guest msb-2007@nospam.nospam- 1 reply
- 290 views
Ok, I'm trying to figure out the "best" (ie: simple, yet secure) way to provide some limited remote command execution priviledges for a subset of non-admin users. We don't want to this team to be a domain admin group, but want them to be able to remotely enumerate network connections (ala "netstat -a -n -b") and the running processes on remote domain machines. We looked at using psexec for the netstat, but I don't really see a secure way to limit user rights with that approach.. if they can psexec something remotely, I suspect they'd effectively have a vector to run various applications as admin (which is pretty much the same as giving them local a…

"Shared Documents" on Windows 2003 Server Std?
by Guest Calab- 1 reply

I've noticed that there is no "Shared Documents" folder on a Windows 2003 Server machine. Is this normal? Is this something I can enable? I don't need to share the files outside of the computer, but do like to have a common documents folder that is shared between the users on this PC. Thanks!

**** "system error 71 has occurred" - An undocumented solution **** "operating system error 71" or "system error 71 has occurred" No more connections can be made to this remote computer at this time because there are already as many connections as the computer can accept.

"The data area passed to a system call is too small" when creating a directory or file I am trying to create a directory on the server, from the server and receive the following error message: "the data area passed to a system call is too small".

2 client machines have suddenly developed this message at logon: "Windows cannot connect to the domain, either because the domain controller is down or otherwise unavailable, or because your computer account was not found."

I have tried alternate passwords (which are know to be good passwords as they are in use on a daily basis but still get the same message. I have tried the usual passwords for the affected PCs on other PCs and they work on the alternate machines. …

"workgroup" server Win2003 sbs?
by Guest bill allemann- 8 replies
- 546 views
I think earlier versions had an option to config as workgroup or domain server. Is there any way to make win2003 act as workgroup server? It didn't seem like there was any choice during setup for other than domain server. It created a new domain on the LAN, and the existing PC's were in a named workgroup, which shows up separately when browsing the local network. I'm dealing with a small LAN with a few PC's, one of which is XP Home, and it doesn't appear that I can make it a client computer on the new server.

(systemroot) ServicePackFiles folder
by Guest E-Double- 2 replies
- 280 views
On a Win2003 Enterprise Server sp2 and under the %system root% folder there is a subfolder called ServicePackFiles which is close to 1GB in size. Under that folder there is an i386 folder and a ServicePackCache folder. What are these folders for and/or how are they used? And also can they be safely deleted? I am guessing its a source location for service pack files (hence the name), but is this just optional in case these service pack files are needed again or are these files actually used in a production environment from this location? TIA ...

Hello, When I add the DHCP snap-in to the Management Console, I can add three DHCP servers. But when I open those three there is a red cross. So these servers aren't DHCP servers anymore. How can the DHCP snap-in see these servers as DHCP servers? is this because of there role of because of Active Directory? Can I delete thos orphan DHCP servers with Adsiedit or by deleting the role? Thanks !

[W2003] Loading OCX -> Windows firewall pops up
by Guest Gilles Ganault- 3 replies
- 362 views
Hello I'm stuck trying to get a Visual Basic Classic program to load an OCX on a Windows 2003 Server on which I'm working with non-admin rights through Terminal Services: In the Form_Load() even, I'm trying to use the MSWinsock OCX control, but the firewall pops up telling me I don't have the required rights for this. When commenting out the Winsock1.* lines, no pop-up. The program works fine on a host on which I'm connected as admin. I'm a bit stuck at where to look for an answer: - firewall - user rights - user profiles - NTFS user rights - Terminal Services Thanks for any tip.

Hi there, I need to constraint a user account on a W2K3 computer in order to: - launch an app when this account is accessed via Terminal server/Citrix - prevent the user to do something else: so the desktop must be empty, the Start menu also, Ctrl-Alt-Suppr must be impossible... This account will be a local server account. Is there security model for that ? Is applying a GPO the best solution ? Thanks for you help... Philippe

[WIN 2k3] IPSEC/Net/device problems

I was doing some hardware changes with my HP Blade 460c. After that I couldn't get to internet. I noticed that IPSEC and Taskmanager services were down. I pulled the error messages from IPSEC with netsh. I can't get the to see my hard disks from disk management either. It' says that access denied. Could this be somehow related to the Windows 2000 domain that the 2003 computer is part of? Any ideas are welcome.
