by Guest ThatsIT.net.au- 3 replies
- 341 views
I have a backup domain controller we want to demote, the problem is that the domain has already been disabled, we want to now demote this server and join it to a new domain. We get a message saying that it cannot demote because it can not contact the domain, join workgroup before demoting. but when you try to join work group the feature is grayed out, you ant remove it till it is demoted. Seems like a catch 22 situation. any ideas?

Permissions removed from domain controler, how to fix
by Guest ThatsIT.net.au- 8 replies
- 623 views
I have a problem where a windows 2000 domain controller has had its hard disk permissions changed. By default everyone has full access to files on c drive. Someone has changed this believing that it was a security risk. He removed everyone permissions and gave administrators full control, and users read and execute. At next reboot the domain controller would not function, it gives a error I can not remember at the moment, but to do with security and asks you to reboot in directory restore mode. You can not log in and they have forgotten the system restore password or it is not accepting it. My guess is that the system can not access files it needs. Wha…

RDP stopped working
by Guest Frank- 6 replies
- 518 views
For some reason, I can no longer connect to my domain controller using RDP. I can do so to any other server. From my workstation, if I attempt telnet <servername> 3389, I get no response. From the domain controller, if I attempt telnet <localhost> 3389, I get the response "...could not open connection to the host on port 3389. Connect failed..." Running netstat -a -o shows nothing using port 3389. I've done nothing to cause this port to be blocked on 3389 on this server. Anyone encounter this mystery? Even better: anyone have a solution to the mystery? Thanks!

by Guest Chris- 2 replies
- 313 views
We are implementing Server 2003SP2 with Windows Deployment Services. I have successfully installed and configured the server according to the Step-by-Step Guide for Windows 2003. I have been able to capture an image, and deploy it to several computers without any problems. However, there are a few computers that when they are booted to the network using F12, hang at a black screen with "OS Chooser v5.0" in the top left corner. After a few minutes, the screen will turn blue and be completely blank. Then nothing happens at all. I am not sure what may be causing this as the computers that "hang" at this point are exactly the same model of laptop, with ide…

Hot Swap SATA Drives Problem
by Guest David Owens- 3 replies
- 348 views
I'm trying to use a set of internal SATA drives for backups on Windows Server 2003 SP2. The SATA drives are in hot swap trays that can be inserted into a mobile rack. The rack connects to the motherboard using a standard SATA data cable. The drives in the trays seem to work fine, but I'm having problems getting them to be hot swappable. When I took out one of the trays and inserted another to format the hard drive in it, the system reset. What do I need to do to make this work? I was assuming SATA II drives and motherboard chipsets supported hot swapping. The board has an Intel 5000V (Blackford-VS) chipset and Enterprise South Bridge 2. The mobile rac…

I am moving 2 software packages from XP to server 2003, for use on citrix. The software works okay on XP, but not on server 2003.

Virtual server R2 sp1 using NTBackup issues
by Guest Jeff S.- 1 reply
- 252 views
On the Virtual server host I schedule NTbackups for the guests. I do not shutdown or save the state on the virtual guests as I thought SP1 supports this method of guest backups. The ntbackup job backs up the folders where the *.vhd, *.vnc and *.vsv files are located. The ntbackup jobs finish successfully, however I get the following message in the virtual server event viewer when the ntbackup begins: The VSS writer failed to get the properties of the virtual machine "virtual machine name". The virtual machine is allowed for Offline backup only. I noticed that this message only occurs for 2003 guests, the 2000 guests do not produce this message. C…

I am experiencing a problem with one of my windows 2000 servers. Its role is file server and print server. It is running on IBM blade with SAN storage. It doesn't response during production hour and found out that I have to do a hard reboot. When booting into the server, it runs the 3 stages check (which is similar to chkdsk /F).

Please run the chkdsk utility on the volume C:" in event viewer. I have encountered this problem with different servers in different companies, but never really find out why…

User account back-up
by Guest Chris Painter- 0 replies
- 210 views
We have a dell server with Microsoft Small Business server, which is in real need of updating. I need to increase the hard drives within the server however in doing this I will have to format the existing data. This should be a major problem, however I need to back-up or make a report of all users, user permissions, user email addresses and any other info surrounding user account. Does anyone know of a tool that can do this? I will be making a Microsoft back-up however because I am changing the storage size I am a little worried that the back-up I make will not recover correctly, which in turn is why I need to find a tool to do all the above. Thanks
