Disappearing Mail in Outlook
by Guest techexec- 2 replies
- 267 views
I have a user who has a problem with some email disappearing as soon as they hit the inbox. This seems to only happen when the mail comes from certain internal users, me being one of them. I can send an email from my Outlook, go to her Outlook, hit send/receive, watch the email hit the inbox and immediately disappear. A few seconds later I get the new mail notification bubble. I click on it and I get an error that says "operation failed". I opened OWA and was able to see the email I sent even thought it didn't show up under Outlook. I also opened the Admin Outlook on the server and the email was not there either. We use cached mode for all clients exce…

Problem accessing e-mail hosted by ISP using internal DNS
by Guest oracle8202@gmail.com- 5 replies
- 423 views
I have kind of an interesting problem. I have set up a Windows 2003 SP2 standard server with Active Directory and DNS. I don't host an e- mail server and instead use external e-mail provided by my ISP. My internal domain name is the same as my registered domain name. So my internal domain would be mydomain.com and my registered domain name is also mydomain.com. The problem is my ISP requires me to check my e- mail by going to http://mydomain.com/email. Of course if I try to go to this address my internal DNS resolves the name and returns an error. If I change my local machine to point to my ISP's DNS servers instead of my internal DNS server everything wor…

run bat file as a service in Windows 2003/XP
by Guest Dan- 4 replies
- 441 views
Hi, Is it possible to run a bat file as a service? I created a service with the SRVANY and INSTSRV tools. I then created a bat file to check for the existence of a file in a certain folder and if it existed then delete that file. I then specified the path to the bat file in the new service's binpath. However when the service runs it doesn't delete the file. I can see the command prompt open up and close. When I directly run the bat file it deletes the file. But when the service runs it doesn't delete the file. I researched but couldn't find any specific answer. Thanks in advance Dan

"Log on Locally" User Right
by Guest JayDee- 2 replies
- 308 views
My question is: "what -exactly- is the "log on locally" user right? Here's some background... We recently updated a policy to lock down the "Log on Locally" user right for our servers to include only "Administrators" and "Domain Admins" - The user right was currently not defined. Our thought was that this would lock the environment down so that only administrators could log onto servers at the console. The first problem we ran into was with the Citrix servers. Apparently, "Log on Locally" is required for clients to connect to citrix servers. This surprised me, since I thought a client session would be considered a terminal services session of sort (there is …

60-70 Printers going offline last two nights
by Guest Sandy Wood- 6 replies
- 486 views
Our main print server, Windows 2003 R2, SP2, hosts about 130 printers. HP LaserJets, Xerox Document Centers. The last two nights I've seen over 60 of the printers sitting Offline. I can't manually put them online, I have to stop and start the Spooler service to bring them back. This happens to a variety of printers, it's not specific to a certain driver. I've got nothing in my App or Sys logs that gives me any clues. Are there any other diagnostic tools to dig a bit deeper into this? -- Sandy Wood Orange County District Attorney

I just set up a Windows Server 2003 machine with Terminal Services running. I have 3 people who remote into this server from different locations. I need to map a drive that would be called the G Drive and all 3 people would have complete access to the folder. They would be able to add subfolder at any level. I need a simple way to do this. Thanks

User Profile damaged

I have a user who logged into a different pc on our Server 2003 domain and was unable to open her MS Office apps (Outlook, Word, etc) or could not even open the system icon or add/remove programs in the control panel. When she logged in to her own pc she began having the same problems. I am guessing that her user profile is damaged. How can I repair it? Thanks.

Event Log Source List
by Guest helpme2pc- 1 reply
- 267 views
I currently have the errors that are logged being sent to an email account that I don't want to monitor constantly. I would like to create rules that would forward critical errors (ie low disk space, backup errors, etc) but not all to my active account. I have done some searching and I can't get the terms narrowed down enough to find a compiled list that I might be able to pick some that might impact me the most. Eventid.net has something but I am not a memeber. Does anyone have any suggestions as to where to look or what to filter? Thanks in advance.

As it's not (hopefully) required, how do I completely remove Removing Windows Media Player from a Server from a server installation? It's not in the Add/Remove Components? [And why is WMP installed anyway on a server? It shouldn't be required and it has had almost as much security issues as IE!] Thanks Gis

Cannot Load Hive...again
by Guest Steven Frank- 2 replies
- 332 views
I have a new (10 days) install of Win2k3 Standard that is giving me a blue screen at boot saying that the hive cannot be loaded. First, what options do I have for recovery (I do have a full backup on tape) and second any thoughts on the cause? Interestingly, on this particular box, which is a development server not in production, I had this happen once before. That time I just did a reinstall but at this point I'd like to get to the bottom of the problem. Any help would be appreciated.

Roaming Profiles and redirected folders
by Guest Scott Micale- 24 replies
- 1.2k views
We have been using roaming profiles and redirected folders for awhile and we are noticing some serious slowness when a person goes to log into their machines. After you type in your password the message saying, "Loading your personal settings" is on the screen for a good 4-5 minutes before it changes to "Applying your personal settings". What can I do to troubleshoot this? Does it have anything to do with my roaming profiles or redirected folder setup? I created 3 shares on my server. One share is \\server_name\Profiles\ for my roaming profiles. I have the offline setting on this share set to, "Files or programs from the share will not be available …

Access denied when using computer managment on remote computers

I am an administrator of a Windows Server 2000 active directory network and do allot of remote administration on users computers. When trying to check the event log or check user groups on a remote machine using computer management I get an access denied error. Now I can still get to the admin share on remote machines and this method works perfectly on Windows 2000 boxes. The error is only on XP and Server 2003 machines. Something else that is broke is the ability to do remote installs of Symantec Anti Virus. I can not push out installs from my desk. After some googling I have seen some posts about updating Active Directory to work with XP and Server 20…
