Service For Unix 3.5, password
by Guest Jinbo- 0 replies
- 249 views
Hi, I am totally lost. I have a Windows 2003 Domain. I installed SFU recently on one of the BDCs (2k3 SP1). After a long fight (CA ARCserve took port 111... I moved it), I finally get it working...well, sort of. I got all related services running. I created two users in AD, set their Unix attributes. Then I did this: C:\>ypcat -d mydomain -h localhost passwd bensonj:ABCD!efgh12345$67890:10000:10000::/home/bensonj:/bin/bash backup_agent:ABCD!efgh12345$67890:10001:10000::/home/backup_agent:/bin/sh What I noticed was the exact same password for both accounts. They are NOT under AD when I created them! I configured a Linux box. Bind to the NIS (SFU),…

DHCP leases

I have a DHCP scope that can hand out 200 IPs. My environment is Windows 2003 Servers in an Active Directory forest at the 2003 functional level. This scope is used for students' laptops and one computer lab. I have dynamic DNS updates turned on by request only from the DHCP clients. The lease duration is set at 1 hour. Problem: 150 students connect and lease IP addresses for the morning classes then leave campus 4 hours later. When the afternoon students come in I get messages from DHCP saying there are only 4 or 5 leases available, the scope is almost full. The leases that are expired are still showing up in DHCP under Address Leases so I have to manuall…

Our server is running Windows 2003 Server R2 Enterprise x64 Edition. Yesterday I happened to notice I can't open Windows Firewall anymore. I tried to start Windows Firewall service, but got the following error: Could not start the Windows Firewall/Internet Connection Sharing(ICS) service on Local Computer Error 1058: The service cannot be started, either because it's disabled or because it has no enabled devices associated with it But I checked that service startup type is automatic and it has hardware profile enabled. The server is running Mcafee Antivirus. But I don't think that's the problem because we have another server with exactly the same O…

Why is comain connected clients slower than local "single" clients
by Guest it-support- 2 replies
- 355 views
Hi, We have about 30 or so clients connected to an W2003 server domain. the computers are not top-notch but should be more than enough to handle simple office work. The client computers are mostly Dell Dimensions 4600; 2.8GHz 512Mb RAM. Login is very slow, sometimes it takes as long as 40 seconds to log in - sometimes even more than a minute. In general everything feels slow and unresponsive. If I login on the computers local profile it takes about 5 seconds to login and the computer performs at twice the speed. I would like to know why connecting your computer to a windows domain so drastically changes a computers performance? I would like to know …

WSUS and Internet Explorer
by Guest Keith Wilcox- 1 reply
- 286 views
Hi, Is there any way of using Windows Server Update Services (WSUS) to ensure that client PCs have a minimum install of Internet Explorer, such as 5.50.4134.0600? Several PCs on my network have an older version of IE than this, and it's starting to cause problems... Alternatively, is there any way of downloading an IE setup file onto my server, so that I can update IE on these PCs over the network, and without having to connect these PCs to the internet? (This will also cause problems...) Whilst investigating this problem, I have also discovered that some PCs on the network aren't listed in WSUS - and presumably aren't getting Windows Updates. Doe…

how do you do runas on a reg file? or runas on regedit.exe on a reg file. by that I mean. Suppose i'm in a non-admin account. If I want to run an exe, I can right click and do runas, and enter the username and password of an or the administrative account. But I can't do that with a reg file. I can't right click a reg file.. and this doesn't work either C:\WINDOWS>runas /user:Administrator regedit.exe c:\a.reg this works in the sense that it opens up regedit and tries to run the reg file. But can't write to place required 'cos not administrator C:\WINDOWS>regedit.exe c:\a.reg this opens regedit, but I want to run a reg file, i don't want to e…

Fax Console on SBS 2003 / SP2 sends 2page fax scrunched up into 1p
by Guest John Advisory- 1 reply
- 276 views
When my client sends a fax, his recipient complains that the message is received scrunched up onto 1 page. The top half of the first page appears correct but the lower part shows lines scruching up. The second page is not received. Tests I have done have had mixed results with some faxes coming through ok, while others showing slightly different faults: - only minimal scrunching so that the first page can still be read. - scrunching on the 2nd page with the lower half missing. I have had an email sent of the fax and these reproduce perfectly. The client is faxing from a 3rd party application. Other users in the office are sending from other applicat…

Blue Screen Windows 2003 Std. R2
by Guest Anthony Smith- 1 reply

Good Morning Everyone, I hope everyone is doing well today. I have a Windows 2003 Std R2 Server that is being used as a web server with IIS. Something strange is happening to this server. When I move the mouse to de-activate the screen saver, I get the usual Workstation Locked screen and press Ctrl+Alt+Del to unlock the workstation. Well when I give it the 3-finger salute, it takes a few minutes THEN the prompt opens up for me to enter the password. I enter the password, the logon screen disappears like it is logging on and all I see is a blue screen. No error message, but I see the mouse cursor on the screen I can move it around the screen but not…

Question about a 2003 Terminal Server
by Guest BigMark- 1 reply
- 249 views
Hi All I need to move a server running TS in application mode from an old Win2k domain to a new 2003 one. The TS is joined to a Win2k Small Business Server at the moment, but I'm installing a new 2003 SBS box. The TS server is a DC and is the License Server. My question is does the TS licensing stuff become part of Active Directory (i.e. will it stop working at the domain change) or will the machine happily integrate to the new 2003 domain? I was going to do a "Swing Migration", but there is too much change between the old Small Business Server and the required config of the new 2003 unit. Has anybody else done this?? Thanks Heaps BigM…

We recently ran ntbackup on a Windows 2003 x64 server, and backed up the (system) C: drive and systemstate. Then we used ntbackup to restore this data onto an external drive (F:) with the intent of using it as a boot device replacement for our C: drive. (Yes we know other changes would be needed to F: before attempting this.) However, when we checked the restored data on the second drive, registry files in F:\WINDOWS\system32\config were missing. Also, when starting the restore, we receive the warning message: "Not all system state data will be restored when re-directed to an alternate location. This is an advanced restore option which may aid in recoveri…

2003 Server EE App Event Warning Source: PerfDisk EventID: 2001
by Guest John T. Seelig- 2 replies
- 385 views
On approximately 5 of our Production IBM blade 8832's we get this error occasionally. No matter what I have tried it keeps logging these every 10 seconds. Restarting the server resolves the problem, but obviously this is less than ideal. According to the conventional wisdom I can find this is due to disk performance counters being turned off. This being a 2003 server, my understanding these are always turned on. Any assistance regarding this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

performance logs not writing to disk
by Guest rschatz- 0 replies
- 246 views
I have Windows Server 2003 and am monitoring with a counter log. I should be able to look at the current log even while it continues to add data. I was able to do this before. However, I wanted to change something in the log - remove a couple counters - so I changed that and then waited. Even though it is running and adding an entry every 5 minutes, it does not seem to actually write out to the file. I stopped the counter log and restarted it to see if that would fix it. After I stopped it, the log file did have data in it. The new log that was started still does not have any data in the file after a day. What's going on here? I don't want to have to stop …

DCPROMO Missing?

Currently I am running Windows Server 2003, it is on a workstation setup. When I try to setup the server to be a Primary Domain Controller (Start-Run-dcpromo) It says "Windows cannot find 'dcpromo'..." So I did a search for dcpromo.exe... nothing. Is there another way to change from a workstation to PDC? Any help will be appriciated.
