Move Domain Controller to New Server - SBS 2003 to Standard 2003 x64
by Guest embj13@gmail.com- 2 replies
- 324 views
Hello everyone, I have a server currently setup that runs SBS 2003. I've built a new server to replace the old one because it is about four years old, and I wanted something that provided a little bit more reliability. So, I've got the new server up and running with Server 2003 R2 Standard x64 installed. What I'm wanting to do is completely migrate everything over from SBS to the new server. Here's what is already done: I've got the new server running as a domain controller with the DNS server already installed. It is currently receiving replicated information from the SBS box. I've successfully installed Exchange 2007 on the new server and have gotten all …

System Center Essentials Issue
by Guest support@isotech-inc.com- 0 replies
- 219 views
This is a strange problem here - requirements are all messed up. I need to install Microsoft System Center Essentials and it requires a couple of things. I am running Windows Server 2003 R2 Standard x64 Edition. When I go to install System Center Essentials I get a "Failed" message because "ASP.NET 2.0 is required" and when I click on "More" I get "ASP.NET 2.0 is not enabled. Please refer to the documentation on how to enable ASP.NET." Ok, fine. So I figure out that I need to enable ASP.NET to work on 64 this 64-bit system. So I go to the Web Server Extensions in my IIS and Allow: "C:\WINDOWS \Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v2.0.50727\aspnet_filter.dll" then ru…

Domain within a domain
by Guest West Seattleite- 2 replies
- 264 views
Can anyone tell me if it's possible (and if so, point me in the right direction) to enter a domain name in a Win2k Server (SP4) running DNS and AD, that points to a specific ip address within my private network? For instance, say I have 10 workstations with static ip's ranging from 192.168.0.2 through 192.168.0.11. How do I tell my server that 192.168.0.6 should also be known as thisisatest.com? If you're interested in the reason, it's because I have two CDP appliances (continuous data protection), one of which is backing up my server. The second one will be backing up the first one and will eventually be located at my home. But I want to "seed" it first whi…

Understanding DFS
by Guest Brillmike- 5 replies
- 427 views
I have a need and interest to use DFS but I am not sure I understand some of the details. 1. Do I need to use Windows 2003 R2? We are a Windows 2003 SP1 shop and I dont want to purchase all new licenses? 2. Can i just use one R2 member server to act as my DFS root, whiles accessing the files on the other network 2003 servers? 3. Can i add non Windows files to the DFS shares, for instance from a Netapp NAS device (which is setup to look like a windows share)? 4. If I want to use DFS to span partitions on a single server does that server need to be R2? Thanks in advance, Mike

Hi, I have a problem on a Windows 2003 computer while installing some MSI files. Indeed, with some MSI files, I don't have any problem (for example, I can install msrdpcli.msi). But with other MSI, I have an error 1321. Error 1321. The Installer has insufficient privileges to modify this file: C:\Program Files\Support Tools\adsiedit.msc. (In this example I am trying to reinstall Support Tools). What is strange is that this error only occurs on .MSC file ! If I rename the existing "adsiedit.msc", I will have an error on another MSC file contained in this MSI. If I rename every MSC contained in the MSI, I have then this error : Error 1311. Source…

Startup Scripts
by Guest Trinity Catholic High School- 8 replies
- 596 views
Hi, I'm using a startup script to copy a folder with a startmenu from a server to a local machine. I've been using robocopy, and its creating the folder structure but not the links. What am I doing wrong? The weird thing is, when I run the script from the command-line when logged in it works correctly, therefore I'm thinking its a permission problem. I tried granting everyone read-only permissions, but it didn't solve the issue. The command I'm using: robocopy /e /zb /copyall /XO \\thssvr01\startmenu$\1015vlaptop c:\startmenu Any ideas, Anyone? Thanks.

Hi there, I'm busy trying to get the .net 3 runtime components installed on a fresh instal of windows server 2008 beta 3. I've installed the .net 3 framework by installing the application server role (default settings), but still when i want to install the expression encoder it keeps on asking for the runtime components, when i try to install the .net 3 redistributable package it fails and tells me to use the role management tool, but as far as i can see it is installed (i see .net framework 3 in the feature list). Anyone a bright idea on how to get it working? :) Thanks in advance, Rutger

Greetings group, We are currently a W2k3/SQL2005/MOSS 2007 development shop and are looking to stand up virtual servers to house a testing environment. I am familiar with MSDN licensing for testing, but my question is besides MSDN (and alternatively downloading trial software), what other license, if any, does Microsoft offer so that we can use the software in a testing-only environment and still be in compliance? -- bill
