roaming profile difficulties
by Guest vistamfg- 1 reply
- 245 views
We have a small network with about a dozen computers. I have been updating the users to roaming profiles and have created a share on the server with all the users in it with the appropriate permissions. Most of the computers converted to roaming profiles with no problems. All I had to do was log off and back on to enable the roaming profile button. When I logged off again, the user's profile was saved to the server. On two of the older computers, however, the roaming profile option is still greyed out after multiple shut downs. I have checked the group policy on these computers (gpedit.msc) and nothing is configured, so there is nothing blocking t…

R2 - File Screen Management - Scripting
by Guest lforbes- 1 reply
- 250 views
I have 2500 Users who have their home directories arranged based on last name and in folders for A, B, C, etc. I have a File Screen blocking saving of mp3's, exe's etc. However I have about 60 users who are working on a project that need the ability to save these things. The File Screem Management seems extremely limited in that it wants you to create each exception manually with no ability to copy or anything. I don't want to create 60 exceptions manually. You can't seem to set file screening up by group and moving their home directories is not an option (as they will be out of this project in a few months and new people will be in it). Is there…

Hi experts: It is easy for a domain admin add his domain admin account into the enterprise group. Isn't this a big security issue? A domain admin may take control of the whole forest... How can I prevent this to happen?

help installing exchange on server 2003
by Guest greg benic- 4 replies
- 380 views
Our client has 2 servers. DNS appears to be on #2. IIS is on #1. I installed exchange on #1. I can't run the mail wizard. I keep getting an error. I am wondering if there is a way to tell if these computers are part of a cluster. I am also wondering how to tell which one is the default domain controller. Perhaps Exchange can't work in this scenario? Thanks for any and all advice.

Not sure when this started, but I'm seeing this on a couple servers, been at least a week. "MSDEWriter" has reported an error 0x800423f0. Contacted MS, they are suppose to email be a hot fix...

RAS connection via MS VPN - change MAC Address
by Guest akf-admin- 0 replies
- 236 views
Dear All, I have a little problem. We decided to use the MS VPN Client to connect our employees to our network, because it's "build in" and the computer will be full managed logged to the network while using a RAS connection. Our Structure is a 3rd Party Firewall Appliance, MS RAS, RADIUS and Certificate Server. Also we use MS SMS 2003 to deploy software updates. Problem: The MS VPN Client cames always with the same MAC Address, to connect to the RAS-Server. In this case it is impossible to set an ip-address reservation within the DHCP server. So the VPN Client changes it's IP with each new connection. Our SMS 2003 Server will recognize each new…

We upgraded our print cluster (W2K3 SP1) to SP2 last week. Ever since the upgrade we have an issue with the following 4 HP "inbox" drivers: HP LaserJet 4 HP LajerJet 5 HP LaserJet 1200 PCL HP LaserJet 4000 PCL 6 The issue is this; any and all jobs spooled through queues using any one of the above mentioned drivers remain in a "Deleting - printed" state after successfully printing.

I've tested this and it is not working. I've also tried reinstalling those 4 print driver…

High usage on non paged memory pool / clustered system

Dear all, I am suffering with high usage of non paged memory pool on my clustered servers running on Windows Server 2003 Server R2 Enterprise SP2. The typical usage is 100 - 110 MB. The memory pool tag MmCm is using 50 MB of NPP. Let's describe my setup.

Both servers is using /3GB /PAE /USERVA=3030 boot.ini parameters specified. I have clustered Microsoft Exchange 2003 Server Enteprise with SP2 running on one one.

Infrastructure is 2003 DCs, nearly all 2003 file servers and XP Sp2 clients. When mapping a drive to one of the DFS root shares on the Domain DFS (e.g. \\contoso.com\public) the extended name displayed within Explorer shows an off-site DC name. The public share has multiple links to servers in every site. To try and make this a little clearer if we have DCs in New York, Chicago and Seattle called NYDC, CDC and SDC and I am in the New York site, when I map to the DFS share \\contoso.com\public the drive letter will show the contents of the Computer Description field of the Seattle DC or the Chicago DC next to the drive letter. I've traced the network…

New computer, several domain users, profile problems
by Guest jude@womenshealthspecialists.org- 5 replies
- 441 views
I have successfully set up new domain users and their computer on the domain. I have 6 users in ADUC, and have not added them as local users on the computer. I added one user, not as local user, but as domain user. I logged on as local machine administrator, and installed software. I copied the local machine administrator's account to the other domain user. When I logged on as the domain user, I did not have access to software and settings. When setting up several users on the local machine do you have to put them on as local users first? This means maybe 2 profiles per person and many profiles. I would love to have some advice!

Hello All, I am working on to deploy Terminal Services for visitors. I need to disable "Explore" in the right-click context menu. I know how to disable the right-click context menu completely, but that is not what I want to. I just want to remove that "Explorer" item or gray it out. (screenshot at http://security-basics.blogspot.com/2007/08/how-to-disable-explore-and-open-folder.html ) And now page 2: I also want to disable the "Open Folder" button when you download and save a file using IE.

Vssvc - No List Writers

- 236 views
Recently I have been getting some vss errors such as 80, 8193, 11 and others. Reinstalled SP2 on the server and applied KB940032. This is also a SQL 2005 server. When performing vssadin list writers command, no response. Unable to perform a system state backup. My understanding from reading from some of these postins is to rename some COM+ files, backup/delete COM+ registry entry and reinstall COM+ components from add/remove programs. Is there anything else that I should do?.... Any suggestions anyone??? thx -- Have a Nice Day!

I'm running a SBS 2003 server. I'm running a VPN with RRAS. My company has a second location that is linked through our ISP and they're behind the same firewall managed by our ISP. While onsite, I can access machines at both locations by computer name and IP Address. From home, I'm only able to access machines at the site where the VPN is located. Is it possible to access both sites through this VPN?

File and Folder auditing generates to much information
by Guest Steve- 0 replies
- 246 views
Hi, I have configured object access auditing on a SBS 2003 Server. I have followed MS articles, making sure everything is properly configured. 1- Activate the policy and link it to the domain controller 2- Go to the folder in question and selecting a security group (containing only employee, no system accounts) and setting audit on read, write, etc. The folder is on the D:\ drive. The auditing seems to work, actually it's doing to much, user access to that directory are being logged but also Administrator and SYSTEM account access also to files (mmc.exe and store.exe for instance) that are located on the C:\ drive?

Shared sysvol and netlogon
by Guest Jake- 3 replies
- 348 views
Hi, When I browse from a workstation to a newly installed w2203 server I see the two shares: netlogon sysvol In the netlogon share I can list all the logon scripts and open them, but not modify anything. In the sysvol share I can see all the subfolders (named policies with guids etc and open files), but I cannot not modify anything. Is this normal? I would prefer that 'normal' users should not be able to list folder contents except for the logon file assigned to their account. Thanks for comments on default security settings on these folders / files. jake
