PDC - BDC Conflicts
by Guest Jean Paul Mertens- 15 replies
- 679 views
Hello to all, I have a problem with a BDC (windows 2000 server) who does not see that the PDC (SBS 2000) is back on-line. I have got my PDC crashed,and for some reason the NT-Mirror had stopped some time ago. I have taken the PDC out of the network, and the BDC took over the security with no problem. I have put my (early stopped) mirror disk as master and restored alle backups so that the PDC is ok. I have put the PDC back in the network and had to disconnect (temporary set them to workgroup) all workstations and servers from the domain and then reconnect them to the domain. So far so good until I tried to do the same with my BDC but he keeps saying th…

Cannot access web page by name due to too many group memberships
by Guest Arjan Schel- 7 replies
- 547 views
Hello, I'm not sure where to post this message, because it has to do with more then one specific area. We have users who belong to more than 300 groups. These users are having trouble to access certain corporate intranet websites by dns name. When we try the same pages through ip-address it works. When we remove some groupmemberships from the user, it also works. We've seen this with more users here (even with myself). This only happens when the webpage checks my account, for example sites that need to check my identity, to show my personal page.. This happens on IIS systems and Apache windows servers. We first thought of the MaxTokenSize registry value,…

This was our RIS server and working fine it is now obviously a mixed mode WDS server. however when i try and activate the server in the Wiindows Deployment Services MMC it fails with ACCESS IS DENIED.

Missing Domain
by Guest Craig- 1 reply

Hi Guys, I have a problem on a Windows 2003 SBS server. The server services stop respond to requests and when I attempt to login the domain is missing from the login box. It's strange I am unable to login due to the missing domain on the login box and services like DHCP fail to reply to requests. Anyone seen this before? Cheers Craig

Moving an Enterprise Root Certificate Authority
by Guest Baboon- 3 replies
- 320 views
I have an Enterprise Root Certificate Authority running on a Windows 2000 Standard, SP4 domain controller. I would like to move it to a Windows 2003 Enterprise R2, SP2 domain controller in the same domain. I don't know it it's as simple as exporting and importing the configuration; it seems that it might take more than that since it is AD integrated and it will be on a server with a different name. Can someone point me to an article and/or advise? I found an article on moving an NT 4 CA, but I don't want to assume the steps are the same. Thanks.

Win2k3 SBS Dial up connection
by Guest chu2ch@gmail.com- 2 replies
- 327 views
Good Day, I have set up a 2k3 SBS and i am wondering, is there a way to set up a dial up connection on the server to only connect to the internet when internet resources are requested from client computers? ie. When a user opens a browser on their PC, the server will then dial up to the internet, and when the user is finished ( or all users are finished) the dial up connection will be dropped. Unfortunately we do have to use dial up connection as our area isn't served with high speed internet as of yet. I thank you for your responses. Sincerely, Chris Nickel

How Do I Change the Computer's SID without Reboot?
by Guest Chris Allen- 0 replies
- 257 views
Hello all, Is it possible to change a computer's SID without restarting? More specifically... What I'm trying to do is this. I'm trying to come up with a way to do a bare metal restore on Windows. I've written a program that saves the all of the file metadata (attribs, sacls, dacls, mod time, etc) for all the files in the filesystem to a single file which is backed up to another computer. Basically this is like running SetACL or FileACL recursively and telling it to dump all the information to a file and then copying this file elsewhere. The problem I'm having is on restoration. I'm booting up a BartPE boot disk, copying the files back and then applyin…

Using VISTA RDP on Server 2003
by Guest JOHN HARRIS- 1 reply
- 221 views
I use to be able to connect using an XP desktop with no problem to our servers using an RDP connection. Now, running VISTA Ultimate, I can connect but do not see all of the items I need. For example, I can see the routing groups on exchange but cannot alter users. I know this is related to admin privileges, but I am running RDP with admin rights with no luck. I occasionally get a log error that states I am either (1) using a version earlier than VISTA (which I am...using server 2003), or (2) using RDP layer. Any ideas how to fix this?

just wondering if there are any issues with windows server 2003 service pack 2. I have one AD domain with 3 domain controllers on server 2003 with no service packs on the DC's. The server i want to upgrade is a member server running sql server 2000. The other applications on it are dell openmanage, arcserver backup agent, adaptec storage manager, and visual C++ 6.0. Just wondering if win server 2k3 sp2 plays nice with all of those. The release notes don't say anything about them. Thanks

- 301 views
Hi All, We have an HP Fileserver w/ Storage Server 2003 on it. It is attached to an EMC AX150 SAN. There are numerious issues with the server so I have to rebuild it. So I have to rebuild the server this weekend. My question is are there any utilities to help preserve the shares, permissions, etc? The data itself wil remain intact (on the SAN), but after the server is up after the rebuild I'd like to avoid having to manually recreate all those shares. Thanks in advance.

Windows 2000 Server Disk Manager volume mirroring - 1 Terabyte volume mirror limit ? Hello We have been unable to mirror either of our two gigantic PST volumes on our Windows 2000 SP4 server using the native Windows 2000 Disk Manager application since these volumes have have recently been increased in size to over 1 TeraByte. This Windows 2000 File Server accesses it's disk array units from a SAN. We ARE able to mirror several volumes on this same Windows 2000 Server that are in the 700 GB to 850 GB volume size. My question is, is there a 1 TB volume limit in the native Windows 2000 Disk Manager for mirroring ? I have been unable to glean any releva…

ntbackup can't find tapestreamer from commandline/schedular
by Guest freaky- 3 replies
- 337 views
Hey there, we're having an issue with ntbackup. The program runs fine if we start the backup from the GUI. However, using the schedular or the commandline gives an error the device or medium is not found (freely translated from dutch 'Kan het aangewezen medium of back-upapparaat niet vinden. De back-upbewerking wordt afgebroken.'). I think it has to do with the issue with had with the tape drive (a compaq dat 20/40). This was probably a defect in the SCSI controller. You could some commands (like selftest from HP tape tools, or eject from removable storage) fine, however any command that would read or write to the tape would cause the device to freeze up and…

Server 2003 - Difference between Retail and OEM CALs?
by Guest Jason- 0 replies
- 243 views
I'm looking into purchasing Windows 2003 Server R2 Retail version. I've seen plenty of sites selling the 5 or 20-pack User CALs OEM version for a bit less than the Retail version of the CALs. Is there any conflict with using OEM CALs on a Retail version of the server OS, or should this be fine? Thanks! --Jason
