Printer deploying causing slow down
by Guest OneWaySWB- 2 replies
- 342 views
Hello, I am not sure if this is the right newsgroup for my issue but here it goes: We are deploying 10 printers via login script (vbs script) to users. After logging in the workstation will be extremely slow for about 20-30 minutes. I check with task manager and it showed csrss.exe was consuming much of the cpu cycles. So, I ran process explorer to check what was causing the issue. I found many regsvr32.exe threads popping in and out taking up the CPU time; sometimes there would be up to ten at a time. I was finally able to catch one as to what was being registered and it was a printer driver. The workstations are GX260 P4 2.0GHz 256Mb ram runnin…

Windows Explorer always crashes
by Guest Jack Spratt- 8 replies

I have 40 users who RDP into Windows Server2003. They are all controlled by a group policy so they have limited access. They do have access to use Windows Explore but shortly after opening it they get an error message that it has failed and needs to close. Any idea if there is a patch out there for this or is there something in the Group Policy I need to work with? When I restart the server I end up getting a large number of prompts asking me if I want to submit each of these incidents to Microsoft. Thanks.

by Guest Francesco Cerasa- 0 replies

Good afternoon all. Here is my issue. I have a Windows 2003 server with the latest service packs and hot fixes running in a Windows 2000 domain managed by a SBS2000 installation. The server works fine, it runs as a Terminal Server onto wich a number of users centrally run an accounting application along with MS Office and other applications. The issue is related to the accounting application when printing and connecting to the local fax service configured. If the fax is sent and the destination number is dialed in manually into the fax wizard, eveything works fine. The wizard ends, the fax is sent and the control gets back to the accounting application whic…

Can't find out what's consuming all the CPU
by Guest Neil Rashbrook- 4 replies
- 395 views
I'm trying to troubleshoot what's consuming all the CPU between 4:30AM and 5:30AM. I'm asleep at the time, so I used System Monitor to record CPU time for all processes and threads. Now, during the interval, the System process has a recorded average of 95.409% CPU, but the most active threads have 9.199%, 8.548%, 8.287%, 4.670% and 0.015% CPU respectively, which accounts for less than a third of the CPU. Is System Monitor just not up to the task?

I found this batch file on a newsgroup a while back, I'm trying to get a text file that shows all the users I have in my domain groups. It keeps on giving me a message of something like "group not found" (I'm not near a dc to give the exact error) I noted the line numbers in this string. Any ideas how to make this work ?

by Guest inenewbl- 2 replies
- 336 views
Hi all. I have setup a windows 2003 server for testing purpose for installing of updates and patches by microsoft before releasing them to my live servers. I would like to know what is the industry practise of patching the servers. Do you all do it everytime the patches are released or do it like once a month everytime? If i were to setup a test server for testing updates for my dc, other than setting up the test server as a dc, do i have to install every single 3rd party program that can be found on my actual DC, like backup software, ups software? Thks in advance.

Why doesn't RDP client pass thru the handedness of the mouse
by Guest Nick Payne- 5 replies
- 358 views
I use mouse left-handed due to arthritis problems in my right hand. I also have to RDP to servers using an admin id shared with other users, so I can't change the mouse settings for the user on the server to left-handed. Using Rdesktop to the servers from Linux I get a left-handed mouse session without changing any settings on the server, so why can't the MS RDP client manage the same? Problem happens with the latest version of the RDP client as well as with previous versions.

Losing user workstation profiles

We seem to be encountering an issue with a few of our clients where a user will log on to a Windows 2000 or Windows XP workstation and their workstation profile will be recreated. When reviewing the C:\Documents and Settings folder the user profiles will be as such: C:\Documents and Settings\USER <--- Original user profile C:\Documents and Settings\USER.DOMAIN <--- User profile after profile is lost Now, in every case, it is an Active Directory user account on Windows Server 2003. We've tried installing the registry hive cleanup service on Microsoft's recommendation to no avail. Also, we haven't been able to trace any event log entr…

Win 2003 WMI

- 189 views
Howdie, Strange one, we've deployed 45 identical servers all running Win 2003 R2 SP1. IIS in installed & running on all. For some reason 6 of the servers don't have the MicrosoftIISv2 namespace in the WMI database (checked with scriptomatic). Is there a MOF or any other way (without reinstalling IIS) to reimport the IIS stuff back into WMI? I know I can blow away the system32\wbem\repository folder & let Windows rebuild the DB, but there has to be another way... Thanks in advance Craig

When applying permissions, changes take a lonnnnnnnnnng time
by Guest Mike M- 3 replies
- 338 views
I've noticed this behavior since the NT4 days but never thought to figure out why this occurs....I'm just tired of dealing with it. :) When changing NTFS permissions over the network (not on the file server itself) once the Apply or OK button is pressed, it takes several minutes for the permissions window to finally disappear. This behavior is not exhibited when I'm on the server console, or RDP'd into the server, and changing the same set of permissions from there. Any clues? TIA, Mike

I have read that the page file shold not be on the system drive however it will not help if I move it to the d: since all drives are raid 5. cpu usage is very low. This is simply a DFS file server and that is it. Several users have a drive mapping to at least one of the directories. Will adding an additional 2 gb of memory really help?

Hi, As above, scenario is; Shortcut on desktop to share on server, users can write to folder but not browse it for security purposes. When a user drops a file into the folder the local user administrator takes ownership, we would like to retain ownership by the individual who dropped it in there so when a spider process picks the files up it can check owner and log who dropped the file in the folder. Is there a very specific set of permissions that this folder mosut be configured wih for this wo work in this way? Cheers Sean
