Looking for ideas

I use a batch program to print out several hundred documents to a Canon multi-funcion copier. In this process there are both letter and legal size documents and I use the Canon software to compress the legal pages to the size of letter. This has been working now for well over a year. I installed a new Canon MFP (different model) to our environment and it apears to have corrupted something w/ the existing print drivers and I cannot get the original program to work properly. Here is why I am not completely convinced that it is an issue w/ Canon. I print to a different model copier (we also use Konica), the exact same result appears (legal is getting cut o…

2003 share access issue!!!!!!
by Guest Monkey1888- 14 replies

Hi All, I have a share access issue that I can’t solve. The problem exists when attempting to access a 2003 member server share for a PC’s in different 2000 child domain. For example I have a main domain called N.co.uk and then several child domains. All of these domains are running two Windows 2000 DC and several XP clients. All was working fine until I added a windows 2003 member server to host share on one of the child domains. The users on the child domain that hosts the new 2003 server can access the shares fine, the users on the parent domain can access the shares but any users on the other of the child domains cannot access the shares. They are…

Turn off a hosted Website
by Guest Diane- 1 reply
- 249 views
I recently decided not to host a website internally, but rather use a hosting service. The hosting service is working great, but I now have an internal issue. When trying to access my website from inside the network, I point to the old server where I was hosting it originally. How do I stop the network internally from pointing to this old website on an internal server? Thank you for your time. Regards, Diane

I've downloaded windows server 2003 r2 32bit enterprise trial (kor) and some minutes ago I started to installing it. But the product key which I've memorized doesn't match. I've tried the link to product key verification from the mail but the result was same. Finally I just skip the phase and continue to installation. In the windows i retried validation with the key from mail but failed also. How can I do from now on? Is there anybody who experienced same problem with trial key? (especially Korean version)

Custom MMC
by Guest WallyG- 3 replies
- 391 views
I created a custom MMC for a new network admin in our organization. I only want him to be able to manage a couple OU's in AD. It runs fine from the server I created it on. I emailed the custom MMC to him and it will not open. I even tried putting it in a share for him. Same thing. I tried running it on my laptop and it will not run either. I followed this tech article: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/230263 Why won't it open on anything other than the server I created it on?

Monitor Folder Server 2000.
by Guest Andrew Staley- 0 replies
- 237 views
We have a self built application which we use to administer our work related documents, which stores all information into a specific folder and sub folders as required. Of late we are having problems where a number of users are accessing the folder outside of this program and accidentally moving folders they shouldn't be (and then not owning up and leaving us to find out later). How can I monitor these folders and record who is moving them and where they move them to? I've tried using the audit tab but all this shows is what privileges are used by a user, assuming I have set them up right. Andrew.

Server 2003 installation options

Hello, I am preping for the 292 and 296 exams and going back to read through Manasi's bible. Been working with server and AD for awhile, but some of these options I have never done and its got me confused. Hope someone can help. 1. When performing an unattended install, you just run the Setupmgr.exe and answer the questions as an Unattended install. I have done this for Sysprep when ghosting clients. Then changed the answer file to "winnt.sif" and copy it to a floppy. Put the Cd and floppy into the server and then hit space bar when prompted to boot from CD. Sound correct? 2. When slipstreaming SP2 into a distribution share install the boo…

Hi NG, I've installed Windows 2003 R2 Enterprise Edition on a server as english version. In my personal account I set the language and keyboard layout to german. Because this server should become a Terminal Server for people speaking and writing in different languages I want to make the keyboard layout for the login screen changeable. Is it possible? How do I achieve that? Now there is a litte "EN" box in one corner of the login screen, but I cannot select another value.... Who knows a solution?

Hi All Windows Server 2003 I have just put the first Vista (Ulitmate) workstation on to the domain. Installed all the domain printers. When I logged into the Server I noticed that in the printers folder all the Vista workstation printers had automatically been discovered and installed. eg. "Brother HL-5130 series on florence (from SHARON) in session 1" and also made it the default printer for the server. I need to be able to stop this from happening or when we get many Vista works it will be crazy in the print folder. This does not happen with any Win XP workstation.

Startup issue when startup and shutdown scripts are defined in gpe
by Guest funkmusha- 2 replies

I define one startup script and one shutdown script in the group policy editor. When the system boots the script runs but when I try to login I enter my credentials and it starts to load my settings but then goes back to the logon prompt. When I enter my logon credentials for the second time I am able to login. When I remove the startup script this issue goes away. Any Ideas? Thanks

Dskprobe2 v.1.0 : seems unusable.
by Guest Sergio- 0 replies
- 280 views
Since the release of Windows Server 2003, I never have been able to get some result by using Dskprobe 2 v.10, the one included in WS2003 Support Tools. Up to the present, with the last release of Support Tools for WS2003R2 SP2, Dskprobe.exe has never been changed, I noted. Every time I tried to use it on IDE or SATA disks, dskprobe always gave me the same error condition: Physical Volumes -> Open Handle -> Read Sectors , no matter which starting sector I choose, I always get the popup error "The Parameter is incorrect" and the requested operation fails. Am I missing some trick ? I wonder that the version of Dskprobe2 released with WS2003 SP2 Sup…

I took a class that required Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition. I didn't have any unusued space and I only have one partition, so I installed the 180-day Evaluation Edition included with my textbook in an alternate file path on the same partition as Windows XP Professional. After this, I found the following FAQ website and statement: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/windowsserver/bb430832.aspx "Q. If I installed Windows XP Professional on a server running the evaluation version of Windows Server 2003 R2, will Windows XP Professional be removed when the 180-day limit on the Windows Server 2003 R2 software is reached?

Novell 6.5 to 2003 R2
by Guest Jim Krebs- 1 reply
- 293 views
I will be moving our organization off Novell servers to Microsoft in the next few months. We use Exchange for our email and have AD already completely populated with OUs and users so no migration there is desired. My problem is a tool to migrate the files. I'd prefer something a bit more reliable than click/drag/copy, but every tool I've come across wants to do a complete user as well as file migration. I realize the time necessary to get rights set up again will seriously increase, but again all of our users are already in AD and the OU structure there does not map to the current Novell NDS structure. It would be great if the tool would allow you to…
