Performance Monitor Issue
by Guest matthew_h- 2 replies
- 234 views
2003 Server... Database & ERP system server... When I try to add a Performance Monitor Object or 'Counter' , all of the Objects are listed as numbers. For example, instead of PROCESS or MEMORY, only 1152, 1154, 1156, 1158, 1160,... and so on... are shown in the drop down list. There are no service packs applied to this machine. It is a database server running our ERP system and management won't approve updating the machine. I believe the system is bottlenecking (has 2 GB RAM) but can't prove it without Performance Monitor working. Thanks in advance...

System won't shut down
by Guest Guus Ellenkamp- 1 reply
- 236 views
I have a server which shows a user desktop background. The user logged off, but the logoff process does not seem to complete. I can access all the server functions, including remote computer management. However, it refuses to accept a shutdown command remotely (and locally I cannot issue it of course). I don't like to hard reset this server of course. The shutdown command seems to return error 15, which is displayed in a dialog box when trying to shutdown through computer management console. Please advise.

Memory Leak in Lsass.exe
by Guest Frank- 3 replies
- 360 views
I have a server here running Window 2003 Standard. Everyday around 5:30PM, lsass.exe used up all the memory to 100%. I read some articles regarding this issue, some say it is about a virus, some say it is about window updates. Anyway, I followed all the tips for solving this issue, I am 100% sure it is not a virus nor about not updating window (because I ran all the updates). However, it still happenes everyday, lsass.exe uses up all 100% memory.... Why? How to solve it? Thank you, Frank

Hello Everyone. This is my first post here and as it usually happenes I got here because I was googling something I need. I am an advanced user far from been an expert with very limited experience in 2003. However I am determined to manage my self to set it up so I can remotely access to manage the quick books database from outside the office as I used to have this service from someone else, paid a lot of money and ended up having tons of problems anyway so I rather go through the hassle of learning with as much help I can get from the web and any recommendation I can follow from guys who know more than I do.

Re: NTBackup, VSS & Shadow Copy Problem Just had this same problem as you guys on windows server 2003. Tried all your suggestions, apart from one, but prob a language issue as some of one response included garbled text on my pc, anyway... here's how i got round the issue and got ntbackup chugging along again.... in the shadow copy settings of the c drive, even the though c drive (systemroot) wasn't using shadow copies for previous versions, i changed the settings so it would save shadow copies to a different drive other than itself. Then having checked it was working ok with backup again, changed it the shadow copy settings of the volume back to the d…

On one of my servers (W2K3) in my domain, I am recieving errors in the event log approximately every 30 to 60 minutes with an Event ID of 29 stating: The time provider NtpClient is configured to acquire time from one or more time sources, however none of the sources are currently accessible. No attempt to contact a source will be made for 15 minutes. NtpClient has no source of accurate time. From my PC I ran a w32tm/Monitor command and the results were good. My domain controllers are in sync with each other for time. I ran a w32tm/resync on my PC (for a test) and it worked (it said the command completed successfully). I ran the w32tm/resync command o…

Backing up user accounts

- 278 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

Hi all I have a win 2003 Server SP2 which is my domain controller and DHCP on it. From time to time someone plug in a laptop into a network point; get a IP; and can then use the internet, etc. How do i prevent someone from just plugging in the network cable and having access to my network. Except obviously reserving a IP for all the MAC adresses on my network; which will take me a year to do. Anthing i can block him from getting a IP from DHCP or maybe let he get a message to contact the system administrator.... Hope this is clear

I have a 2003 Server and 8 clients connected to it. DNS are set static to the sever IP address. Now I get once or twice a day an error saying "System detectet a possible attempt to compromise security". While that happen I get may popup windows with this message. However, I can restart the PC's again and everything works fine. The funny thing is that this happens mostly, but not always at similar time. Any idea what could cause this error.
