Is it possible to extend a partition ?
by Guest Peter- 7 replies
- 467 views
We are running Windows 2003 on SAN. We have allocated some more space to that server. We have attempted to use diskpart.exe to extend the primary partition but it is not successful. Someone says that it is due to the partitions are primary partition while someone says that the disk is "Basic Disk" and not "Dynamic Disk". I would like to know is there any tools we can extend the partition to use the additional unallocated space. Thanks

/PAE /3G problem

Hi, We have a serious problem on our production cluster. It's a MSCS cluster with 16GB RAM for each node and Windows 2003 EE Server R2 sp2 32 bit installed on 64bit processors. In the file boot.ini the parameter /PAE is set. We're trying to set the /3GB flag as well but after rebooting a node , but we have experienced serious instability at the OS level. Windows is not responding anymore relating to OS basic processes that fail to start, network interfaces not recognized anymore and other weird stuff concerning domain policies and user environment. So we took the /3GB off the boot.ini. Is the /3GB usable together with the /PAE parameter in such an architecture…

Odd Problem - Picture & Fax Viewer on 2003 Server
by Guest Skitrees- 0 replies
- 151 views
Okay - I have a very odd problem. I have three directories on a 2003 server which are shared out. No one has access to logon to the server as "admin" user except me, and all configurations on the server have been static for about a year. The only changes have been standard Windows updates. Suddenly, ONE of the shared folders won't allow users to open images via the Picture & Fax Viewer. I even tried directly from the server itself and find the same problem. Any picture files in the root of this folder won't open in Picture & Fax Viewer. All other folders are fine. Even if I take the photos from the problem folder, and place them in a subf…

Home Directory Permissions problem - shocking discovery!

I got a call from a client today claiming that a staff member could see everything in another staff member's home directory. I calmly pointed out that they could problably actually only see the home directory itself, but nothing in it, since only the owner and Domain Admins have permissions on home directories. However, I remoted in, logged in as the staff member in question, and BINGO! I can see ANYONE's home directory, and open files in it... In fact, this staff member has full control over every other staff member's home directory. I don't know how this can be. The staff memeber's account is only a member of the Domain Users security group, and that group i…

I believe I understand the uses and relevant privileges of the domain admins group however I am not clear on the builtin\administrators group? Are there any priveleges which would be lost by moving an account from the domain admins group to the builtin\administrators group? My new company have accounts in both groups. Why? thanks in advance

Hi, with Windows Server 2003 something strange is happening on any machines I have: All System Tray tooltips are displayed *behind* the task bar! I can only get a glimpse of them when I try keeping the mouse pointer at the upper edge of the System Tray programs' icons. These are my settings: * Lock the taskbar * DON'T auto-hide the taskbar * Keep the taskbar on top of other windows * DON'T group similar taskbar buttons * Show Quick Launch * Show the clock * DON'T hide inactive icons * Use classic Start menu Any help is quite appreciated.

Hi all, Sorry if this is the wrong place to ask this but I'm having trouble locting any forums for windows server 2003. I was wondering if anyone knows if Microsoft have changed the above exam to incorporate WSUS yet or is it still related to SUS. I cannot find any exam objectives that specifically relate to this. The official Microsoft Press book I have still says it relates to SUS but this was from 2006. Can anyone tell me if its changed yet or should I still be learning about SUS? Many thanks Regards, John
