Server Migration and Browsing Issues
by Guest celcius233- 2 replies
- 332 views
Hello All. We're migrating our old servers (Win 2003 SP2) to Dell PowerEdge boxes (same OS). Last night we moved our entire file server, updated login scripts via group policy, and did the cut over. The box we moved our data from was the first server in our domain and is a DC running DHCP and DNS. It is now ONLY performing those roles (we're a very small business and couldn't afford to split the services). We duplicated the directory structure on the new box, however it is NOT a DC, only a member server with much more horsepower. From the user perspective everything is fine. They can access all their files, our backups are good, etc. However, on …

Modify CIW logon screen
by Guest Harold- 0 replies
- 249 views
I have a completely private network where we perform PXE based installation. After thousands of times of entering usernames and passwords to get to the OS choices, fingers become numb. I know that it is not best practice to remove the logon screens, but how do I do this? is it possible? I have read through the material at http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc739932.aspx around designing custom RIS experiences, but it recommends not to remove the logon screen, presumably for security purposes which, again, are not a concern here. Any help is appreciated. Harold

Can't Uninstall Workstation Programs After Server Crash
by Guest JBradshaw- 2 replies
- 335 views
We have a small office with 5 users. Single-server environment running SBS. One of the principals of the company left, taking the server with him. It was rather abrupt, but the users are now getting by without a file server or domain controller. However, we are experiencing some problems when they try to install or uninstall software on their worksations. During the uninstall of, for instance, Adobe, they are told that the setup program can not locate \\oldservername. I have tried running the Windows Installer Cleanup Utility, but even it won't install, saying it can't find \\oldservername. The users are still logging in to the domain using cach…

A question about using Low Level I/O API to read/write binary file
by Guest Bill David- 1 reply
- 266 views
I use Low Level I/O API (_open) to create a binary file. Then I use _chsize to set the size of this file (a big size). And then I _open this file for reading (get fd1), and _open it for writing (get fd2) and _write something to it. After that, I _read something from the beginning with fd1, but find: 1.I have written 65535 bytes to the file; (with fd1) 2.But I can only read 126 bytes out with the 3rd parameter as 1024. (with fd2) Is it possible? How to avoid it? Note: 1.Everything should have been done in a single thread. 2.I am writing an extension for another product, I must use fd instead of FILE* that's why I use Low Level I/O API instead of buffered FIL…

- 326 views
Hi all, Im having a funny few minutes. In order for my logon batch amnd small vbs program to run at logon and for the GPO to enforce desktop wallpaper images, they must be in an accessible shared folder. My worry is; what is to stop a savvy user from finding those shares and altering the wallpaper or logon scripts/vbs..? Is it possible to secure these files from general domain users access but still leave them available during logon..? Thanks all, I couldnt find any answers online so far. Rolf

Remote Perfmon Anomaly
by Guest da crusher- 3 replies

Hello All, We are running Windows 2003 SP1 32 and 64bit. We are running into an issue when a specific server ( 64 bit, active node of a sql cluster ) is accessed remotely through perfmon to check any Logical Disk properties, certain disks show as "HarddiskVolume6". When checking these properties locally through perform, they show correctly. I have checked another cluster active node setup identically and it works properly. I have checked perfmon from either 32 or 64 bit machines with the same result. Has anyone seen this before? Thanks in advance!!!

Hi, In the very fast moving IT Industry, there is a need for the people to keep a note of what is happening in the field, what are the latest Jobs available and in which technologies they are available and what companies and also in which cities. And also when applying for Jobs, it is obvious for people to look for Interview Questions in their Technologies and if they are able to find it all at one place, then they can concentrate on studying or doing R&D further on those questions and answers available. And for a better pay pack people are always in a mood of doing certification and at that time they are on a lookout for certification material an…

Hi All, I'm not sure where I should post this, so please let me know where I can/should redirect if necessary. Here is my problem: We have a incomming faxes routed to e-mail via a fax server. Somehow, phone lines got crossed and incomming faxing went down. When the phone company rectified the problem, incomming faxes are now only coming in via hard copy on the fax machine. I've been staring at the configuration settings of the fax server but having never done this before, not really sure what I should be checking for. Would appreciate anyone help in pointing me to the right direction getting this resolved. Thanks! Keith

Windows 2003 domain. Introduced the first Windows 2008 ent. 64bit server into my domain. This is just a Windows 2008 member server that I'm using for Virtualization with Hyper-V.

We have 6 PCs that are of various flavors of Windows. They were all separate and independent workstation. Recently, we purchased Small Business Server 2003 and created network accounts for our users. Now, when they login they have two profiles listed under Users (Vista PC, for example). However, their new network acct does not have all the desktop and functionality that they had with their local profiles. I know I can probably just copy the various folders from their local to their network profile but I understand there is a better way. What is that better way? I hear it is available in Small Business Server 2003. It's a pain to copy those folders…

I have 2003 DC setup as a GC, DNS and FSMO holder. It running the time service for the domain. The old NTP server was Firewall appliance and that function has been moved, so the time service is loggings errors because it can't sync.

I'm at my wits end. I read numerous docs on this process and gone through the steps several times but the IP keeps changing. There are no GP settings that I could find that could be resetting this address. I really need help here or I'm…
