Hello. In my network I have those servers: - DHCP server running on Windows 2000 server - DNS server running on Windows 2003 server How do I configure a windows 2003 Std to be a DHCP and DNS Backup. My idea is if any of the main servers failed, this server would assume those functions. Is it possible?

Question about W2K3 Server and XP Clients Using Remote Desktop
by Guest Adam Sandler- 4 replies
- 328 views
Hello, I have a question about using mstsc.exe in a W2K3 and XP environment. With regard to the group policy, what are all the group policies which could affect remote connections? I have the allow logon interactively policy set but I still get an error which states I cannot logon to a given host when trying to use a remote desktop connection. I'm asking because there are literally hundreds of possible group policy settings. Does anyone know of a list of policies related to RDC and/ or terminal services? That would help troubleshooting and hunting an pecking through all the policy options. Thanks!

Server Logins
by Guest pf- 1 reply
- 275 views
This is a question I'm hoping I will get some good input on. For all of our servers we create a generic AD user account, and assign that AD account to the local administrators group on the designated server that it should administer. This way if the user account gets used on any other machine other than the one server it's assigned to, the account only has normal user account rights on the network. Is this an appropiate method for trying to secure servers and the admin rights to them? Is there some other approach we should be using? What about domain controllers, should they be logged in as domain admin?? thanks in advance for any input on this topic…

Problems with Folder Redirection

I just enabled folder redirection using group policies. Basically I enabled this for Application Data, Desktop, and My Documents. Now for some reason we've been having issues, so I deleted the GPO and server shares, but for some reason the workstations are still trying to sync. How can I remove rfolder redirection altogether? Thanks

How to create a replication server
by Guest Marco- 0 replies
- 272 views
Hello. I have to exactly server. Same model, same hardware. One server is a file printer server the other one was an exchange server. No I'm not using that server as an exchange server I would like to configure it to be a backup server. My idea is to have a exact copy of the file printer server. If for any case if the file printer server goes off I have the backup server (the old exchange) to work. Users wouldn't note the difference. Regards, Marco

W32time and moving operations master
by Guest justmark- 2 replies
- 339 views
I've built a new DC and made it my operations master. The old DC was configured for time updates from time.windows.com but that didn't seem to work very well. Anyway, I want to make my new operations master point to an outside time source - what do you all recommend as this source? Also, how should I go about making my old operations master point to my new operations master for time synchronization - just delete all of the entries pointing it outside? Thanks! Mark

Recommendation for copying Data
by Guest Scott Micale- 2 replies
- 344 views
I am in the process of taking 2 EIDE data drives out of my server and replacing them with new WD SATA3 drives in a Raid 1 configuration. The drive configuration shouldn't be a concern really. I just would like to know what is the best way to copy the data from the old drive to the new so that my ACL's remain the same and the share information. I am pretty sure the share info is going to have to be re-created, but I want to make sure I am correct on this statement. Right now both new and old drives are setup in the server and can be accessed. Thanks -Scott

"Secure" approach for remote execution of commands (least priv)
by Guest msb-2007@nospam.nospam- 1 reply
- 289 views
Ok, I'm trying to figure out the "best" (ie: simple, yet secure) way to provide some limited remote command execution priviledges for a subset of non-admin users. We don't want to this team to be a domain admin group, but want them to be able to remotely enumerate network connections (ala "netstat -a -n -b") and the running processes on remote domain machines. We looked at using psexec for the netstat, but I don't really see a secure way to limit user rights with that approach.. if they can psexec something remotely, I suspect they'd effectively have a vector to run various applications as admin (which is pretty much the same as giving them local a…

turning off roaming profiles (just clearing profile path isnt work

Our network is using windows server 2003. There are about 10 of us and only one actually needs a roaming profile. The last network admin setup everyone as a roaming profile and I want to move everyone except for one user back to a local profile. (some profiles are huge.. in the 2g-4g range causing long log-on times and extra network traffic) On the server: In Active Directory Users and Computers I selected the server, clicked the users folder, right clicked on an account and selected properties. On the profile tab I deleted the profile path (left blank). On the local computer: I checked in system properties -> advanced -> users, and the profile i…

upgrade NT to 2003
by Guest Gilbert- 1 reply
- 301 views
I am planning an upgrade from Windows NT to Windows 2003 Active Directory. There's a new server that's been purchased and I will be installing Windows server 2003 x64 on it. I've been reading thru the upgrade guides but I need some advice. I'd like to do as little as possible with the users' computers. 1. I would like to know if it's possible to perform a clean installation on the new server. (create a domain with the same name, move all the accounts from the old server to the new one, then power off the old server). 2. What will happen to all the client machines? Do they have to unjoin/rejoin the domain? Will I have to re-do user profiles? …

Redundant DC/fileserver
by Guest RLM- 3 replies
- 396 views
For one of our offices I need to replace their aging DC/file/print/dns/dhcp server. This is one machine and I want to replace it with 2 identical machines, so that they have some redundancy. I did some research on clustering but I don't think that's the way we want to go, because that requires an additional storage server for their data. I'm on a tight budget.. Is it possible to use Windows server 2003 R2 for this scenario ? I read about DFS replication, but is this suitable for a fileserver where sometimes lots of small files are being stored in a short period ? (I'm thinking about replication frequency, speed, etc) The big question is: how can I alway…
