Help with Owner of a romaing profile folder

- 697 views
I have serveral users, with roaming profiles, that use the same folder as Domain Admininstartors. Now I want to take the administrator privledge away from them and still let them use the same folder. How do I set all users as "Owners" of the folder? Would I set up another Group (non-administrator group) and add the users to that? thx -- John D. Leonard -- Sage

VPN

If the is a better group to post VPN questions please tell me. I have remote users I want to give VPN to our office network. They can login OK to the VPN to the VPN server, but don't see anything past the VPN server. They don't even see the domain in their explorer. Do they need to join the domain before using the VPN and if so is this possible to do from remote.

Rights differ between different administrators
by Guest RobGMiller- 1 reply
- 252 views
Different users in the administrators group have different rights. Some can run programs and others can't. I understand that being a member of different groups with lesser rights will restrict permissions but these users are members of the same groups. Where can I look to see all the restrictions on any user? -- RobGMiller

I am trying to setup an FTP site and Isolate Users Using AD for my users. When I go through the Create New FTP Site Wizard. I enter my username, domain and password at the prompts. Those all work fine, but when I am finishing the process I get the message "You were not connected because a duplicate name exists on the network. Go to System in Control Panel to change the computer name and try again." And of course the site creation wizard fails. I have also tried to create the site using scripts but it fails as well. Will I really have to change the computer name on the Server that I am trying to install the site into, this will be a big deal as t…

Extending Drive/Partition for more Space..
by Guest newsqlman- 1 reply

Hello all. I'm trying to add space to a server that someone else setup and had a few questions. It's a Dell PowerEdge that has a Raid5 configuration. I just added a new drive and with the Openmanage Server Administration Reconfigured the virtual Disk and now windows is seeing the unallocated space. There is a Storage partition that I need to add space to and not sure the best way. I'm hoping to use the Disk Management within Windows 2003 to add to that partition by extending but not seeing where to do this. When I right click on the partition I thought it was supposed to give me the option to Extend but it doesn't. It's basic options are change drive …

How do I temporarily disable a domain controller (without turning it off!)
by Guest KingCronos- 4 replies
- 560 views
We have two web servers in an offsite location. One is a domain controller that is used by the web services on both boxes. I hope to install a new seperate DC, and to test that web services can use that, I want to disable the box that doubles as a web server and DC. Obviously, as it is hosting websites, I do not want to switch it off. Is there an easy way of doing this? Thanks, KC

Talking to NT
by Guest Jim Satterfield- 1 reply
- 260 views
We currently have an NT 4.0 server as our domain controller and a 2003 server in the same network. When trying to add a remote desktop user for the sake of Terminal Services to the 2003 server from the list of users on the domain there is a dialog asking for someone with authority on the domain and when I enter a username and password it pops up with this error message: "Multiple connections to a server or shared resource by the same user, using more than one user name, are not allowed. Disconnect all previous connections to the server or shared resource and try again." Microsoft's knowledge base has nothing useful on it about this. Any ideas?

trying to figure out network address usage
by Guest runner7@fastmail.fm- 2 replies
- 296 views
As a relative newcomer to networking, I am trying to straighten out my understanding of the use of the network address (the one with all 0's in the host section of the address). Is this address actually used to contact a particular host or what, like putting it on the gateway router somewhere? How is it used to find or contact the network? Thanks for any replies.

Setting permissions pegs the processor
by Guest drdoak- 4 replies
- 403 views
Is it normal for the processor time to spike to 100% and stay there while setting permissions on files? We have a few changes to be made on our newish user data volume, but it makes it difficult when the server becomes nearly unresponsive while setting permissions. Particularly a problem since it might take half a day to set these. Is there no way to throttle it in some fashion? Almost seems like a bug when these large permissions changes can even cause that data volume to roll to another server. Running a 3 node Win2003 Enterprise R2 SP2 cluster with SAN attached storage for the data volumes. Thanks for any insights! Chris

Dear all, I am troubleshooting an server with high nonpaged memory pool usage. It is an HP Proliant DL380 G5 server with 4 GB of physical RAM. I am running the Microsoft Exchange Server 2003, therefore I am have to run under /3GB boot.ini switch. So I am limited do ~125 MB of nonpaged memory pool maximum. I am running at about 105 MB of used nonpaged memory pool, I worry about the stability. When I start the PoolMon, it shows that 40 MB of nonpaged pool is using the MmCm tag, which belongs to the nt!mm driver and "Calls made to MmAllocateContiguousMemory". This is the biggest usage, all others are about 1-2 MB. How can I determine, which driver(s) is allocat…

Start/Stop service with non-admin user
by Guest Steve Roy- 7 replies
- 542 views
Hi !, sorry for my english, i'm french speaking. Since many years, some users can start/stop service remotly on our Win2K0 SP4 server. The domain admin created GPO for this (giving acces for stop/start/pause some service). Since few weeks, we installed another server (Windows 2K3 SP1), with same setting, same ACL, same software. The GPO was deployed but this users cannot now start/stop this services. The only difference between this 2 installation is: 1 is Windows 2000SP4 and the other Win2K3 SP1. There is some limitation, or security setting with Win2K3 ? Can someone help me please ! Thanks ! Steve
