Is there a newsgroup for problems with newsgroups?
by Guest Bob Day- 2 replies
- 326 views
I'm using windows XP Pro high-end system and have a couple problems with various newsgroups or forums... I use the web interface instead of Outlook express; is there a newsgroup on solving problems concerning newsgroups? Here are the two problems: first one I subscribe to newsgroup and receiving e-mail there is always a link in the e-mail go to my post and the response. However probably 50% of time that link does not work on various Microsoft newsgroups. It opens an explorer and simply displays a blank page with the word done in the lower left corner. I often have to find a newsgroup by exactly searching on the title that appears in the e-mail in Goo…

Service Stopping
by Guest tshad- 3 replies
- 456 views
In Windows 2003, I have a service that once in awhile will not stop when I tell it to. It sits as Stopping and won't finish. Now there seems no way to start it again without rebooting the server. I know what the problem is, just haven't been able to fix all the problems that cause it. Is there a way to kill it so I can restart it without rebooting the server? Thanks, Tom

Folder/Share Permission Issue
by Guest James U- 2 replies
- 324 views
I have 2 servers, identical hardware, that run Server 2003 R2 (Std Ed) w/SP2. Each server has a share for home directories. The permissions are set as follows on both servers: 1)Domain Admins - Full Control - This folder, subfolders, and files 2)Everyone - List Folder / Read Data (under the advanced settings) - This folder only 3)Inheritance is blocked/removed On Server1, any user can click into the share and view the folders and files, but not read/modify anything. On Server2, users outside of the Domain Admins group cannot even get into the share. I used the Effective Permissions tab to see if something looked odd, but they were the same for both ser…

by Guest John- 5 replies

I just posted this message without entering a subject (I forgot). This is a reposting with minor change. My backup (Symantec BackupExec version 11d) skips the following files: Unable to open the item \\windows2003.ourdomain.com\C:\WINDOWS\security\edb.log - skipped. Unable to open the item \\windows2003.ourdomain.com\C:\WINDOWS\security\tmp.edb - skipped. Unable to open the item \\windows2003.ourdomain.com\C:\WINDOWS\security\Database\secedit.sdb - skipped. What are those files? Is it safe to exclude them from the backup? Thanks in advance.

2003R2 Dev web server will not play video
by Guest Saral6978- 0 replies
- 279 views
I'm going to try and explain this as best as I can...I'm stumped and need some ideas. We have a marketing company who developed a presentation video for us. We used a personal website on an XP box to test the launching of the video and it worked fine - played audio and video and showed you the video controls (play, pause, stop, etc). We then attempted to apply the same code and files to our DEV and TEST webservers, both of which are running Windows 2003 R2 server. For whatever reason, the video will not play. Just a little black screen and it doesn't even show the video controls. We then applied the same code and files to a windows 2000 test box on a…

Print drivers and Server 2008
by Guest Jason A Ash- 1 reply
- 304 views
Looking for a recommendation. I have several clients using Windows Server 2008 Terminal Servers, having a problem with the print spooler service stopping. I feel that part of this may stem from the fact that not all the printers in use have drivers for Server 2008. What we did in those cases, was to use the Windows Vista print drivers, which seems to have worked. So, my questions are, was using the Vista drivers a good idea? Or, should we have used Server 2003 drivers, and if so, will they load without a problem? These Terminal Servers were put into an existing enviroment, so we had no control over the printers the remote clients have, some have mult…

Distributing files to workstations
by Guest notagirrafe- 5 replies
- 471 views
I have two applications which are installed by MSI, but which then require administrative logon to each workstation to configure them. I have examines them and captured the changes which are made and it boils down to a few files I need to add to the Windows directory on the workstation. I would like to do that from a normal user logon so I don't have to visit every workstation, but how do I script that? The user logon script fails because it does not have permissions to write to the Windows directory. Thanks in advance.
