What do I do with all these user CALs?
by Guest Thomas H- 4 replies
- 345 views
So we just bought a few hundred user CALs for my new Server 2003 network, what do I do with them? I read http://support.microsoft.com/kb/824196 , which seems to be saying not to run the License service at all. The network I'm building is native server 2003, minimum client is Windows XP. I assume I still change each servers' licensing mode to per-user, and put in the total amount of user CALs we bought- but what's next? Do I do anything with XP, or with their user account in Active Directory? Or do I just put the user CALs in the safe and that's it? Thanks!

WINS Server - Is it necessary?
by Guest Saral6978- 3 replies
- 337 views
I have a full Windows XP/Windows 2003/Exch 2003 network - I will be putting in a new domain controller and removing 2 existing ones. One of them has WINS installed. I'm guessing since I'm fully in Native mode that I do not need to install WINS on this new server since all requests will be using DNS, correct, and replication will still occur between my new DC and my DCs at 2 other locations?

Issue with FTP in Server 2003`
by Guest Andy W- 3 replies
- 201 views
Hello, I've setup an FTP server on Server 2003 SP2. I wanted to lockdown what IP addresses connect to it, so I setup the FTP server to deny access to all IP addresses except 3 in the list of exclusions. Only 1 of those IP addresses can connect to the server. Is there something I missed? Thank you in advance. Andy

Upgrading from Windows Server 2K to 2003 Standard Server
by Guest nikunj.it@gmail.com- 0 replies

Hi, I am new to installation and managing of server. I got Windows 2000 Server running terminal services. It is configured well and working fine. I want to upgrade it to Windows Server 2003. My concern is creating ISO image of this current 2000 server. I want to create ISO/ Bootable CD or DVD that hold all information about server (i.e. 2000 Server Installation Files, Drivers, Data, Server Configuration such as Active Directory etc., Current Installed Softwares etc...). That means everything on the server must be backed up and restore into CDs or DVDs. Because if I will get any problem for installation of 2003 Server, so I can run those CDs or DVDs and set ser…

Small Business Server - WMI issues
by Guest Alex_ACS- 1 reply
- 192 views
Here's the story. 4 different customers, 4 different servers. 3 of them use Small Business Server, one uses Enterprise R2. I use a free asset management/help desk/reporting system on all of them which communicates using the WMI protocol, which we all know runs on TCP135. The problem is that on all three of the SBS servers, the asset management system doesn't want to communicate with HALF the computers on each network. It recognizes them, authenticates with them using a domain admin account, and roughly half of them on each network just won't talk. I've tried adjusting WMI Control and DCOM Config on the "unknown" machines that it won't communicate with, net…

Never leave the install CD in the drive!
by Guest Deane- 2 replies
- 244 views
A friend (I swear, this is NOT about me...) has Windows Small Business Server 2003. He has two drives, and mirrors them through Windows. He calls me -- "Yeah, the power went out, and when the server came up, there was this black screen that said I had to push a key, then these other blue screens that had me push all these other others, and now it tells me that the install will take 39 more minutes..." To my horror, I realize that he (1) left the Windows install CD in the drive, (2) when the power came on he confirmed that he wanted to boot from the CD, then he (3) clicked a sequence of keys to start Windows reinstalling. I haven't gone over there yet, so…

Windows 2003 server restarts instead of shutting down
by Guest ellenda@gmail.com- 0 replies
- 191 views
I wanted to post this in case anyone else ever ran into the problem I had today. I have a HP DL360G5 server with Windows 2003 SP1 that would restart instead of shutting down. Searched the HP boards and discovered it was a NIC driver issue. Upgraded the server NIC Driver "HP NC-Series Multifunction Driver" to the latest version 3.4.10.0 to resolve the issue. A link to the HP support forum I found: http://forums12.itrc.hp.com/service/forums/bizsupport/questionanswer.... It also affects DL380G5's according to the forum. Thanks, Ellen

2003 Terminal Services - Bandwidth
by Guest Victor- 1 reply
- 209 views
How much bandwidth is required per user for a terminal services connection? For example, if we have a 1.5 Mb T1 coming in, and I remote desktop into the server from home (cable internet, if it makes a difference), how much of that T1 am I using for my session? Basically, we're trying to figure out how many concurrent outside connections we can support at a time. Thanks!

In vista.. if you goto start.. run.. notepad.. then do a file open.. i can goto computer and see all the mapped drive letters for our 2003 domain (which are mapped at login via a script, this script is forced to vista machines via running as limitted user technique via task scheduler commands).. If i open other 3rd party apps.. like installshield 12.. then try the open command.. i only see drives which are mapped that are persistent.. ie: these other mappings are mapped as not persistent at login.. I'm not sure why this is the case... I'm using this in a VBscript: On Error Resume Next Set objNetwork = CreateObject("WScript.Network") objNetwork.MapNet…
