admin tool roundup?
by Guest Erik Funkenbusch- 11 replies
- 838 views
Hey there, I'm looking for some recommendations for Windows administration tools, particularly those that integrate Remote Desktop management as well as other tools. I've looked at Smartcode, iShadow and Pointdev. I was wondering if anyone had any other recommendations. All of these tools have features the others don't, and i'm looking for something a little more comprehensive. My needs are: I have to manage dozens of servers via remote desktop, and i'd like a single, integrated tool to do this. It should do the following: Manage the RDP connections, including allowing configuration of RDP encryption, and preferrably SSL encryption as well. …

cleaning out dead dhcp servers
by Guest Steve- 3 replies
- 354 views
I had a server die recently and now I've got a situation where the dhcp mmc keeps showing the old server in the authorized servers list. This is kind of annoying but not causing any problems that I can detect. Anyone know how to clean this out? The old server will never be restored. Anything else I need to clean out in this situation (server death)? Replication was cleaned up using sites and services (deleted the dead server) and nothing else seems to be broken.

Does anyone know where I can find a big list of public NTP (time) servers? These are the ones I know of (in North America): time.nist.gov time-nw.nist.gov time.microsoft.com clock.isc.org Are there any disadvantages to having many servers in the query list?

Looking for a better backup solution
by Guest odenealr@gmail.com- 4 replies
- 376 views
We currently have 3 servers that we backup (full) every night on tape. An exchange server, a file server, and an accounting server. The constantly growing size of each backup is starting to become a pain to manage (7 tapes total). There is a total of about 300 GB that is backed up every night. The bottom line is: I need a better solution. I would like to look into a backup to disk solution, but I want to be able to have a fresh copy off site every night. Right now I take home the previous nights backup tapes with me every evening. Is there a better way to do this without spending a whole lot of money on a remote backup solution? Thanks for your help.

Data Protection Manager on a DC with tape drive?
by Guest Steve- 0 replies
- 237 views
I'd post this to the DPM newsgroup but it isn't showing up in my list of available groups right now. I have a small network with 2 servers. I have a DPM 2005 disc. Server1 is a file server and DC ("PDC" role holder actually). Server2 is a redundancy and backup server ("BDC", and tape backups). It also stores the boss's non-business files (mostly mp3's, video's and pics). Both servers serve DHCP, DNS and WINS, but no databases or exchange (yet). Both servers are Server 2003 R2 SP2. We normally backup up around 36GB of critical data (includes system states). We would like to have full backups in the future (about 140GB), but we need a new tape drive for that…

I am a bit confused on how the correct way to do this is. I am constantly finding W32Time errors on my Root DC. I have logon scripts that run type sync to the Root DC. By default all computers and DC sync time to the Root DC. But how do I setup for the root DC to go to an external time source? Thanks,

/3gb and /pae switch
by Guest mhowell- 13 replies
- 705 views
I am still trying to completely understand this and I find conflicting information. If I have a Windows 2003 Enterprise server with 8 gb of physical ram and an application that will take advantage of memory above 2 gig would the following make sense. Use the /3g and /pae switches in the boot.ini. 3 gb would goto the application and by using the /pae switch the 5gb remainder would goto the operating system. Is that correct?

FSRMGMT Setup Error
by Guest Chip- 0 replies

I'm trying to install the Server 2003 R2 admin tools, namely the File Server Resource Manager (FSRM) on my server and I'm getting this error: "The version of Windows you have installed does not match the update you are trying to install." I'm positive this has something to do with SP2 for Windows Server 2003 R2. I have a couple other file servers that I installed the FSRM on before upgrading to SP2 and it worked fine (still does). I also know this isn't specific to one server in my environment because I tried to install on two other R2 SP2 servers and got the same error. I did an internet search and found something about running adprep on the doma…

Hi, I have heard a few contradictory information regarding which switches to use for different RAM config. So far I have the following list. RAM < 8GB Use /3GB RAM >= 8GB and < 16GB Use /3GB /PAE RAM >= 16GB Use /PAE All these systems use 32bit OS. The only application running is either SQL 2000 or SQL 2005. Thank you.

<newbie> is this DNS okay ??
by Guest Jeff- 1 reply

Hey At home I've got 2 computers (winXP and Windows Server 2003). These 2 computers are connected to each other via a gateway. Both these computers are connected output ports on the gateway. The input port on this gateway is the internet from isp. So these 2 computers share the same internet connection. (the gateway is 3com OfficeConnect CableDSL gateway) Now I've configured DNS on the win2k3 machine... I wonder if this is correct ?? Here is the output from nslookup: Default Server : intranet.newbie.testing Address 192.168.1.x Hmm I think there must be something wrong here because I added configured winXP to use the win2k3 machine as DNS server. …

Hello, I am trying to troubleshoot why from my new server I cannot get any email notifications I have setup for Custom Filters under R2's Print Management. When I go to the filter and select Test, I never receive the email. This server is part of the domain and all preferences are ccorrect. I installed the Print Management on my desktop and have it running in MMC. If I setup a custom fiter within it and select Test, the email comes through fine. I thought maybe that the server had to have a mapi profile installed so I did that but no luck still. Any advice would be appreciated, Thanks

by Guest Ragnar- 1 reply
- 274 views
Hello I'm trying to disable file replication for a Dfs link (Dfs domain based). I selected to stop the replication using the Dfs console, and that worked. When I use the ntfrsutl command tool I can verify that the various servers have status stopped for that replica set. However now i want to disable and remove replication for tis replica set. But I don't get any option to disable replication in the Dfs console.....what do i do? How can I remove the servers from the replica set and get rid of the replication? And what is the purpose of the "Replica Set Tombstoned" registry setting. After stopping the replication I assume this changed from 0 to 1. Do…

When I attempt to setup an HP network printer and use a standard TCPIP Port, nothing works: * Print Test Page results in a popup that it failed * Using Notepad, I get a "The handle is invalid" * Using Wordpad, the Print command executes without error, but nothing prints and nothing is in the queue and nothing is in the event viewer * There are no errors in the event viewer * When I setup the port, it immediately recognises it as an HP JetDirect card * I can setup the desired printer on my test machine, that has the same OS-type installed (so I know my process works, it's just failing on this one machine.) * I am using Windows 2003 Enterprise R2, SP2 …

Migrating from 2k3SBS DC to new 2k3SBS DC

- 255 views
Greetings, Does anyone have any experience with, or able to direct me to quality docs regarding an in-place migration from one 2k3SBS domain controller to a new 2k3SBS DC. The old system is being retired and I'm looking for the easiest way to migrate from the old system to the new one. I've built several SBS domains, but I've never done an in-place DC Migration, and want things to go as smoothly, and as easily as possible. Thanks, Ben
