- 224 views
Im looking at changing an administrator account password, I know for sure there are some servers out there using this account for services startup. Other than going to each one and looking, does anyone know of a utility to check what services are using the admin account or any account throughout the entire domain?

Slow RDP session from Vista to Server 2k3 Enterprise x64
by Guest Brian- 0 replies

I have a Windows Vista desktop. I RDP into many servers 2000, 2003 x32 and x64. I have one server 2003 SP2 R2 Enterprise Edition x64 build 3790.srv03_sp2_rtm.070216-1710, when I or anyone RDP's into this server from a Vista computer the session is very slow. The screen refreshes fine, but a mouse click takes several seconds to reatct. I've found that if I run a "netsh interface tcp set global autotuninglevel=disabled" command on my Vista box the RDP session works fine. RDP from XP is also fine. I don't know why this is the only server I'm having problems with. I have one other 2003 SP2 R2 Enterprise x64 server and its build number is 3790.srv…

Hi. We have two Windows 2003 SP2 R2 servers (different hardware, builds and software) which restart/reboot rather than shutdown when shutdown is selected. I've searched online but am struggling to find any possible explanations. Can anyone advise how I can resolve this ? Thanks, Alex.

I have a small office with one server 2003 running as the Domain Controller and DHCP and routing services. It is currently multihomed and works just fine. The layout is: internet -> linksys router -> Server (external nic) -> Internal Nic (server) -> switch -> Client PCs and printers. I've been reading that multihomed DC's are not a good idea. If I change my network to be non-multihomed, what handles all of the routing. Say I want to RDP into each client PC, the PCs are getting their IP address from the DC since it is a DHCP server, the linksys won't know the client IP address. So does the Linksys pass the external requests to the serv…

Small Business Server 2003 logins
by Guest Information- 1 reply

I have inherited a SBS2003 server, and it appears a few users have been added and some directories created that, as yet, have no data. The secretary has been moving data to one folder on the server, and has organized that data under that folder, not under the many that were created. I can tell you few other details about the server. The client computers are running either XP Home or XP Pro. I have removed names from the users that no longer exist, and have created users to mirror the current staff. The only computers that can successfully logon to the server are the XP Pro boxes. These machines are not logging onto a domain, but do share the workgro…

Hi. If possible could anyone confirm whether there is any risk of 'damage' to domain controllers if a network of ~20 servers with two (2003) Domain Controller were to be shutdown using a script similar to below : shutdown.exe -f -s -m \\DC1 shutdown.exe -f -s -m \\DC2 shutdown.exe -f -s -m \\Server1 shutdown.exe -f -s -m \\Server2 ............... I am currently looking at a small network which was previously working without any problems that has developed errors on their DCs to do with replication, dns, dfs etc. The errors only started happening after the above style of script was used to shutdown the system, the servers have been shutdown/restarte…

I have 5 users and email and everhting is working perfectly. Now, I need to let each user have access to their files from outside the network... I do not want to install a VPN (because of cost so far) but I would need some other solution. Security is not a big concern, so is there any web based solution ? Thanks so much Alex

Hello, I am developing application on Longhorn. For that i need to check whether Terminal service is enabled or not. In Windows 2003 server there is a registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server \TSEnabled which is having value 1. Using this registry i am able to check Terminal services' status. But for Windows Server 2008 there is no such key. So is there any other way to know the terminal services' status. (Whether it is enabled or not) Any suggestion will be appriciated. Thank you in advance

Server Performance Issues
by Guest J Weldin- 2 replies
- 337 views
We have several Windows 2003 Standard Servers (file servers, Lotus Notes server, SQL servers) attached to a Dell SAN. We have been experiencing performance issues, so we started investigating. We discovered that the systems are doing excessive hits to the page file, so we increased the RAM to 4 GB on each server. Despite making the necessary changes to have the OS recognize and use the addition RAM, we are still having the same issues. And the page file is still being excessively accessed. We have performed disk defrags on the servers. After the defrag completes, we can relaunch the defrag analyzer and see that it needs to be defragged again. Can you…

FTP and Windows Firewall
by Guest Chris- 0 replies
- 236 views
Hi I am having a bit of trouble with FTP. I have set up FTP on my server, which works fine, but as soon as I enable the firewall the passive FTP does not work. Passive FTP uses 2 ports to transfer data , one is for the connection (21) and the other random port is used for the actual data transfer. I have setup IIS to use only certain ports using the cscript.exe adsutil.vbs set /MSFTPSVC/PassivePortRange "5001-5201" Command and opened up those ports on the firewall. Now sometimes I can connect and at other times I can’t – I can’t access certain folder either. How can I solve this issue?

Server 2003: No boot menu. How is that possible?
by Guest Milhouse Van Houten- 2 replies
- 304 views
I'm trying to help someone with a new installation of Server, and something has come up that's very strange. He insists that when starting the machine (a Dell PowerEdge 1900) that there is no MS boot menu shown at all. It goes right from the BIOS data to starting Windows. I had him check boot.ini, since I suspected the menu delay entry there had been set to 0 somehow, but it shows 30. We're obviously missing something big and obvious but don't know what it is. Any ideas? Thanks.

Authenticating users and security without a domain
by Guest AKP- 4 replies
- 405 views
Hi - I have a large client that has decided that they no longer want their remote offices to have their own domains but all the file servers are to be just that file and print servers. I have always set up a local domain and treated them as individual entities with only email being handled at the organizational level. They are a social service agency that I believe needs a level of security to keep their documents and files and local databases secure. (and they SHOULD be HIPAA compliant). How do I authenticate users and set up security in such an environment. Is it possible and am I missing the very obvious? Their systems administrator in co…

Hello, I am having major issues with my IIS and SMTP services. IIS We are running Windows 2003 Server with SP2 and Exchange Server 2003. Exchange is just running on our internal network and not used for external email. The server runs great until I start the SMTP services. Then the CPU usage bounces around from 5 to 99 percent and the memory usage goes through the roof, which bogs down the rest of the server. It won't let me stop the SMTP service and I end up rebooting the server and setting the SMTP service to manual so that it will stop. We have all Windows updates run and Antivirus updated and scanned. Any help you could provide will be greatl…

CRC error in RAID - which drive died?
by Guest Hunter_Thompson- 7 replies
- 586 views
Hi Everyone, I recently was asked to look at a server that was giving disk {CRC} read errors. It is setup as a Virtual Machine {VM ware} server. I was instructed to break the raid (raid-0), perform a low-level format of the three Sata drives that were in the raid array, and then recreate the raid, reinstall Windows Server 2003 (R2) and the VM ware images. The instructions given to me to low-level format the drives should format around any bad sectors on the hard drive. I did all of the above, and now we still get the CRC error. So it seems one of the drives needs to be replaced, but I don't really want to have to buy 3 new drives when only one is d…
