New to networking and although I’ve installed printers to workstations, I’ve never installed a new printer to a server. I only know that an IP address is to be reserved throught DHCP for the new printer if the printer software does not scan the network and find an unused address. If there is a simple how to with pictures I would appreciate it. Working with Server 2003

sell domain name "yonata.com"
by Guest maxxue7788- 0 replies

Dear Sir/Madam�$B!$�(B We are an IT company who own the above domain name. We think your company may be interested to use this domain name for promotion of your own brand �$B!H�(BYONATA�$B!I�(B. We understand that you are using obleasyonata.com for your website, but it would be more desirable to use YONATA.COM Studies show that there are many advantages using this shorter and more direct domain name: 1. �$B!H�(BYONATA�$B!I�(B itself is the brand name of your products. There will be direct connection between the website and your brand name. Successful examples are http://www.ibm.com, http://www.bmw.com, http://www.sony.com, etc. 2. Easy to memorize the…

How many Domain Controllers should I have?
by Guest humour- 3 replies
- 315 views
A few questions about domain controllers. I have 3 servers in my network, 2 are domain controllers - 1 is 2003 the other is 2000. q1) Is it good to have more than one domain controller? q2) I recently restarted one of my servers, several of my users machines got a message the "trust relationship has been broken" << something similar. I think this is indicating one of my servers is not properly authenticating users. Does this sound reasonable? q3) My 2003 server has been starting to fail, I bought a new one from Dell but I didnt make it a domain controller... should I make it a domain controller? If so why? Will it slow the server down? …

Schtasks' create vs. change
by Guest Mr Troy- 5 replies
- 398 views
I have a task that needs to be run from time to time on twenty servers. The tasks are setup to run "once." I'd like to use schtasks to automate the tasks. The wall I'm hitting is that you cannot change a run "once" task. I've tried changing the task to run monthly, but then, even if I set the st,sd,ed, nothing happens. My "Change:" schtasks /change /tn "Auto Shutdown" /s dcmember1 /st 14:50:00 /sd 01/16/2008 /ed 01/17/2008 /enable Anyone have any ideas on how to get around that? To try and get around it, I thought, hey I'll use "Create" and have it delete the file. I think that would work, but is there a way to kick it out to a log file rather t…

I am running Windows Server 2003 R2 Standard Edition and I am unable to change the password on the administrator account. Actually, I am unable to reset any users' password in AD. I right click on the user account, select reset password, type in the new password, hit enter, and I get the following AD error message: "Windows cannot complete the password change for Administrator because: Windows cannot find the network path. Verify that the network path is correct and the destination computer is not busy or turned off. If Windows still cannot find the network path, contact your network administrator." Note. I am at the local machine trying to do t…

Windows could not be started as configured
by Guest Chris S- 3 replies
- 315 views
I have just recently installed SP2 on a Windows 2003 Server and after reboot I get a pop up that states the following: Service Control Manager: Windows could not be started as configured. A previous working configuration was used instead. I have found the Microsoft KB article on this and it just tells you how to prevent the popup from coming back again. But...I want to know if this has caused some unforeseen problems now or in the future. Also, from what I have read...it seems as if Windows used the last known good in this case...if so...will this have any adverse affects on this domain controller? How can I tell SP2 has been applied successfully? I …

Installing/upgrading on different computer-2003 SBS
by Guest Bill- 6 replies
- 462 views
Our small non-profit is ready to upgrade from Windows 2000 Small Business Server to 2003 Small Business Server. However, we want to do it on a DIFFERENT computer. We've purchased a faster computer, we plan to install 2003 Small Business Server on it, and retire/reformat the current/old one. Are there instructions on how to upgrade when using a different computer? The upgrade instructions I've found seem to be to upgrade/install on the same computer. We want to transfer the domain controller to the new computer/installation. We want to backup the Exchange Server and restore it to the new computer, or transfer the data somehow. And whatever else needs t…

Hi, After I have upgrade my Windows 2003 x64 R2 server from 1 Dual Core Opteron to 2 Dual Core Opteron, (and upgraded from 4 to 12Gb of RAM) I'm suffering freezing issues during intensive calculations. Like processing an SSSAS OLAP Cube. once the calculation process is done or is in a less intensive part of the process, I can get the control again. before the upgrade I can do something on the server even when the CPU is at 100% of usage. Any idea? Thanks. Jerome.

DHCP Handing out IPs on Wrong Network
by Guest Kbalz- 6 replies

We have one DHCP Server, which is also our Primary Domain Controller. This is also our Primary DNS Server. It is running Windows 2003 x64 R2 SP2. Our reserved range of IPs run from 192.168.1.1 - x.x.x.80. DHCP is configured to hand out ranges from x.x.x.81 - x.x.x.200. All of our clients are running Windows XP Pro, SP2 (some are on SP1 still, but very few). We have about 100 client machines. Laptops are very prone (I'd say, 80% of the time) to this: The laptop will leave our network (salesman takes a business trip) for a week or two, when he or she returns, the laptop is assigned a 192.168.2.1xx IP address. We have a 192.168.2.xxx network, but it is phy…

Windows Server 2003 VM joining a domain RPC fails
by Guest spectreoflight- 5 replies

Hello, I have a test machine that I am setting up to things like SMS and Sharepoint. I have installed VMWare Server and created a virtual machine of Windows Server 2003 RC2. I can connect to the internet and download updates through its Bridged networking for it but I can not join a domain from the virtual machine. I get the following error, "The following error occured attempting to join the domain "xxxxxx": The remote procedure call failed and did not execute" From what I can tell I don't think that it is a VMWare issue but something to do with windows network. There any way to trouble shoot why I am getting this? I don't notice anything in the Logs about this …

I'm trying to find info on the actual controller. Nothing on Dell's site or in the manuals tells me about which LSI Logic controller this is. Short of ripping open the case, hoping someone knows the answer to this already. - Thee Chicago Wolf
