255 characters for subdirectories
by Guest Boe- 1 reply
- 229 views
Hello, I noticed with subfolders, if you exceeded a certain length you couldn't copy them to other folders. e.g. shared\main clients\sales projects\year 2006 sales projects\..... Now I know my clients should be more succinct when naming folders but I don't sit over their shoulders all day watching them create subfolders. Is there a way to do anything about the limitations? If I do relax the limitations will I have problems with the workstations? Thanks PS our workstations are all XP and our servers are all 2003.

by Guest Charlie- 2 replies

I have a Quantum Superloader 3 LTO2 tape library running on a Dell PE 2800 with Windows 2003 R2, SP2. In Removable Storage, my LTO tape shows up as write protected when I try to move it into the Free Media Pool. The tape doesn't have the write protection tab engaged and I have never even used the tape before. I am not sure this is really a Windows problem, but does anyone have an idea what I can do about it? Thanks.

I am running a Win2K3 Standard Server w/SP2. HP DL360 Server HP Data Protector 6.0 HP/UX 11.xx client Running HP Data Protector 6.0 Cell Manager on W2K3. Windows Clients back up fine. HP UX client will back up fine to any other Cell Manager, but since they are remote, over the network backups take a very long time. When trying to backup, the Cell Manager contacts the client and the client connects back to send data, but gives error "IPC cannot connect, connection refused". Checked with HP, they requested trying Telnet to port 5555 on server and that fails, they state issue with OS. When trying "Telnet localhost.domain.name 5555" receive back "Con…

I have a Windows 2003 Server that links together several computers in the network. The server is used as a domain controller and to store critical files for the computers connected to it. One of the applications is Wonderware and it opens screens that the users use to manage data being connected for production controllers. What happens is even if all the computers on the network are logged off certain files on the server can not be accessed for editing, and what is displayed is that a user has that file open. However, if the domain controller is unplugged from the network by physically unplugging the network cable. And then the file is renamed and save…

I am trying to convert a physical server into a Virtual Server. When I attempt to capture the image of a Dell Poweredge 2950, the capture progress goes wacko after 85% and the controller services takes all the available memory. The Deployment Agent ends up disconnecting and the image capture never completes. The Job history reports the below information: Capture progress: 10% (4912113 of 49121131) Capture progress: 20% (9824226 of 49121131) Capture progress: 30% (14736339 of 49121131) Capture progress: 40% (19648452 of 49121131) Capture progress: 50% (24560565 of 49121131) Capture progress: 60% (29472678 of 49121131) Capture progress: 70% (34384791 of 4912…

Can't Run windows update from DC
by Guest ITDUDE27- 6 replies
- 383 views
Hi. I'm experiencing a problem with my DC, which host Exchange, IIS. When I manually run the windows update via the browser I get promt to install the ActiveX for Genuine verifycation. After I select install ActiveX, it check for updates for maybe 2 seconds than it prompts me for the ActiveX install all over again. It like it caught in a loop. This only started when I ran the last Windows update on the 27th of June I believe. Any thoughts? Everything works fine with the exception that I can't get updates. SBS 2003, Exchange 2003 R2. Any help on this would much appreciated. Thanks.

User rights.
by Guest drkc- 6 replies

I've got a user that happens to be a general manager for a client and he is demanding the ability to install software on his system while logged in with his username. I don't want to give him that ability but wanted to ask here if there is *any way* to give him that level of access 'safely'. I don't think there is so I bow to any experts here that can show me the light. I've been told our support contract hangs in the balance so I really want to be right if we have to go over his head. What started this was him getting a Treo and not being able to install the software 'right now without all this administrator B.S.' Thanks for any assistance. It'…

Share access problem 2003 member server
by Guest Monkey1888- 3 replies
- 371 views
Hi, The logon dialogue box appears asking for the user name and password. When the password and user name is entered they can’t access the share. If they attempt to browse to the 2003 server via network neighbourhood they can’t even view the share on this server. When they click on the server in network neighbourhood they are prompted for the user name and password. This is not the case when they browse to any of the 2000 domain controllers in this domain as they can see the shares listed when they click on the 2000 DC name.

How to configure a Server for an additional Domain.
by Guest comp.guy82@gmail.com- 2 replies
- 330 views
Okay I have a PowerEdge 1750 server that was taken out of an Enterprise network setup and was given to me to install in a remote office. They don't want me to disjoin any of the domains as they want to be able to retrieve the data if needed. The server is currently configured for roughly 7 domains (when I am prompted to log in under Log-In To I see various domains and not just one primary domain) , i.e. addot domain, nvs domain, nhsta domain, abc domain etc etc... My task is to configure this server for the local domain TTB. Now I have only setup servers from scratch and have no problem creating a DC or Child DC but I am not familiar with the process of creatin…

Routing, static routes etc. how does it all work.
by Guest Clubsprint- 1 reply

G'day I've just upgraded out Firewall, Internet pipe and all connected routers. My Firewall is Checkpoint on a 2003 Server. It has 4 interfaces (Internet, LAN, DMZ and other Org) I'm having some big problems and it all seems to be reated as to how routing works on 2003. Before the upgrade I had a small number of static routes to send external traffic to the correct path and that was it. I didn't have default gateways defined on the network cards either. Now I have to have a default gteway assigned to my Internet interface and I've had to include a number of Static Routes to my internal network. I've been trawloing the web for some accurate info on …

Hello everyone, I have a middle-tier server which has quite a lot of ODBC-DSN entires, connecting to all our R&D databases.

I tried changing it through the registry, but apperently this doesn't work as well as i thought. Thanks

Windows 2003 SP2-Very Slow to install in Domain Controller
by Guest sa-kintoh!- 0 replies

Hi, I have one DC and 3 member servers. I have applied service pack 2 on the three member servers and finished in less than 20 minutes. However, when I did on the Domain Controller last August 11 the installation still is for more than 24 hours. I have stopped and reverted to the old settings and did it again yesterday, August 13th. Three times it prompted me that it was not able to backup cpu.inf, xpob2k3.dll and dxdiagn.dll. After 24hours of running, it prompted me that it was not able to find adminpak.msi. Even though, I've pointed it in the right direction, it was still not able to find it. I've tried a series of retries and it push through and to date, …

When I am doing large downloads (Visual Studio 2008 beta for example) from Msdn, the "System" process (NOT System Idle process) consumes near 100% cpu and prevents me from doing anything else on the machine. I tried snooping the System process tree with Wininternals latest Process Explorer, but none of the subtree items that are children of "System" show any high cpu usage. HELP!!

XP PC Blue Screen After Login
by Guest RandyH- 3 replies
- 305 views
I know this is a server group, however, I need to ask.... We use roaming profiles. When an old server is offline, users get a blue screen (no desktop) after logging in. All the old shares were created on the newer server. This morning, the old server is dead, users can't log in. administrator can log in. I can log the users in here at this location. I disabled roaming profiles on one user, that didn't help. I removed and readded the PC from and to the domain, that didn't help. Any thoughts? TIA

Office 2003 SP2 + Server 2003 + Server 2003 SP2 = Freeze?
by Guest thatotherguy- 0 replies
- 287 views
Hey all, Ive got a Terminal Server running Windows Server 2003 with Office 2003 SP2 running happy as larry, but a couple of months ago, I thought Id throw the SP2 for Server 2003 at it because, you know, Service Packs are supposed to be good things. A couple of days later, the server had it's first ever freeze. All user accounts started locking up (not all at the same time, sort of like dominos falling over) and while the server would still accept incoming RDP connections, it would freeze immediately after login, so we had to restarted the server (which is a pain becuase it's hosted off site). Being it's first ever crash, I didnt think much of it, th…

Any suggested repair? I see where others have had the same problem, but don't see a fix listed.

Hi, We are running Windows Server 2003 as our print server. I can see the logs as they appear for printing, but there is no way that I know of to export them. Is there a place where they are stored that I can re-arrange the data? Is there a simple tool availible to export them? Ideally, if they could be dumped into Excel that would be great. Thanks in advance, Derrick

mandatory profile and GPO problem

- 424 views
Help! I have no hair left. Objective: using a combination of mandatory profile and a GPO for a student OU that will give a student a share folder and lock down the desk top. My approach: In a GPO I define the lockdown settings. I specify the logon.bat which uses net use to set the drive mapping to a shared directory for students. I also defined the profile path //server/profiles/mandatory In the Mandatory profile I establish how the desktop will look (icons etc). To test this I have student-A student-B Student-C that belong to a studentrights OU which has a studentgpo. To create the mandatory profile (which may be the problem) I did the following steps:…
