Controller/Driver error and Event ID 11
by Guest Bill Clark- 0 replies
- 274 views
Running into an issue with BE11d and my server/bus adapter setup. The backup "runs" but then fails on verification with an I/O error. Upon further examination I see a System Event with the following: Source: Lsi_scsi, Event ID: 11, Desription: "The driver detected a controller error on \Device\RaidPort1". From what I gather there is something wrong with the adapter/driver combination. The adapter is an HP SC11Xe Host Bus Adapter (HP# 412911-B21) that I purchased separately from the DL380-G5 server it resides in. The server came with the P400 Array that controls the internal drives. Running Windows 2003 Server with Sp2 and all updates. I have all …

Mount point to remote share
by Guest DY- 0 replies
- 178 views
We are experiencing high drive activity on a server that is currently configured with only RAID 1. The application causing the activity does not allow redirect to a remote share, so I am stuck. I wish to avoid migrating the application altogether. I have tried using a simple mapped drive, which did not work. I have also tried using the linkd.exe utility, which I believe works for local folders but not remote shares. Is there a way of creating a folder on this server that is mapped to a remote share with an attached drive array? Thanks!

Adding DC in second AD 2003 site not creating automatic replicationto all DCs?
by Guest Rob Gordon- 5 replies

The current Active Directory domain topology of my native Windows 3003 R2 Server (with all patches applied), looks like the following: DC1: Native Win2K3 R2 (Global Catalog and AD-integrated DNS server) DC2: Native Win2K3 R2 (Global Catalog and AD-integrated DNS server) DC3: Native Win2K3 R2 (non-Global Catalog, legacy Certificate Server) The FSMO roles have all been split between DC1 and DC2. I have recently added a site (call it Second-Site)to our domain, and am in process of adding a DC to that site, to act as a local GC since it will be across a WAN connection from the default First-Site. Call it DC4. When I do a dcpromo on this server, it goes th…

Hi, I need help adding to my batch file a method of deleting any files over 7 days old. I want to run it as a scheduled task to clean up SQL express backup files. I'm still not sure why they eliminated the maintence stuff? Thanks for your help ahead of time. Here is my batch file so far: @Echo OFF @For /F "tokens=2,3,4 delims=/ " %%A in ('Date /t') do @( Set Month=%%A Set Day=%%B Set Year=%%C Set All=%%C%%A%%B ) @For %%a in ("*.bak") do copy %%a "E:\SQL Backups\%%~na - %%~na_%All%.bak"

Veritas backup exec 10
by Guest langjr15@uwgb.edu- 2 replies

Quick question... I ran into this setup and it seems really weird to me. A company has a Dell Powervault 114T single drive unit that runs SuperDLT Tape 1's. For some reason they are bening asked during backup to switch tapes. The funny thing is that it asks right at 160 which should be the uncompressed size of the tape right? Compression should get us well above 300 gig. I have a Dell powervault 110T at work that runs the same tapes and I regularlily even get more than 320 out of a single tape. Besides telling the job to compress are there other settings somewhere else to turn this on? THanks

Scheduled backups fail to start
by Guest Frances Butcher- 10 replies
- 590 views
We have been using Win Backup on Win Svr 2003 for at least 18months now and suddenly it is refusing to work. If I run a manual backup it backs up no problem. However the scheduled backups do not start. No log is generated in the backup GUI and the very few messages which appear in the event viewer do not seem applicable. I have rebooted the server and also deleted and recreated all the scheduled tasks and media but it has made no difference. - The only clue I have is that if I select properties on any of the tasks then the following error appears: >General page initialization failed. The specific error is: 0x80090016:keyset does not exist. An error has o…

Hi there, The following situation: With the iscsi initiator I will connect a drive on a SAN to my server. Next I would like to connect a drive letter to that volume. With iscsicli sessionlist I can find the disk number. Then i use the following script to find the volume number with diskpart select disk x (number of disk found with iscsicli sessionlist) detail disk (to find the volumenumber) After that I would like to assign a driveletter to the disk with the following script: select disk x select volume x (found with the previous script) assign letter=G But as you probably know (see: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/937252) the volumenumbers will c…

Time Zone Configuration Issues
by Guest Demerson- 0 replies
- 181 views
Hello, folks. I've been researching on a script to enable the daylight savings configuration and synchronize the system time of all machines in the domain with one of the DCs (PDC emulator). The .vbs script worked fine on all tests and we finally decided to apply it through a GPO to the domain. First we manually did all the servers and double checked whether the summer times were all correct. Then we applied the GPO. It did enable the daylight option on the stations and also updated the time. Thats when the problems begun. We are normally GMT -3. With daylight savings, we turn to GMT -2. Thing is, the machines can only get GMT -3 from the serv…

Forcing user to take ownership of home directorys.
by Guest TJ_2006- 0 replies
- 196 views
Hi, I am using windows server 2003 R2 release and i am using it to create logs of directory sizes, however the system uses the owner as a propose to directory name, the majority of directorys and contents are owned by the domain admin, this is due to the permission being reset over time as servers have been migrated/updated, i use xcacls to do this, basically as far as i can work out using xcacls, i can grant users the right's to take ownership but not actually force them to have ownership and my findings correct is there an alternative tool to achieve this if this is the case. Thanks in advance regards James

NT Backup fails to start automatically
by Guest Nandan- 2 replies
- 270 views
Hi, NTBACKUP fails to start automatically when I schedule a job. The only way I am able to start it is by typing " control sched taks" in RUN. There also ,no schedules start up,the only way to backup is through selecting" RUN NOW". Another problem I faced is that I cant remove a job I had scheduled .when i click on the job in the calendar,it says"unnamed file contains an invalid path".It 's because no name has been set for the job.I dont know how a job can be scheduled without giving it a name but that's exactly wat's happening here.. Would appreciate it if you could help me out. Regards, Nandan

Licensing Issues
by Guest Steve- 4 replies
- 427 views
This is the history on this debacle: * We have an existing server that we are concerned may be on its last legs. * Rather than waiting for it to die, we are pre-emptively attempting to recreate exactly what we currently have as far as software (both Windows and Applications) goes but on a different machine. * Once this is done and has proved stable, we will wipe the old server and use it as a backup. We have been told that this is permitted under the Microsoft licensing as long as it is a fall back position only and not being used to "cheat" and create two servers. That is all we are trying to do * The server we are pre-emptively replacing had Windows server 2…

Mapped shared folder does not stable
by Guest joeau- 2 replies
- 261 views
I setup a new Win2003 Server with AD and all client computers ( XP and Win98 ) can join the domain successfully. I try two ways to map shared folder: 1. using the Windows Explorer on client computer, 2. using logon script. The shared folders map to the client computers are not stable, sometime they can connect to the server but sometime they can't (no reaction when I click the mapped drive). How's to fix it? Thanks, Joe.
