Re: Remote Printing
by Guest Frank Castle- 0 replies

Re: Remote Printing Thanks for the reply. But let me reiterate: I do not have local servers. DCs are not a factor here, IOW, I have a dedicated File and Print server but its at a central locataion (not at the branches). I also want to avoid using workstations for security, performance and change control purposes. My question is specific: Would using the "print directly to the printer" send the job (data) directly to the printer or does this data still need to be sent over the WAN link to the server and then back down to the printer. I am trying to avoid bogging down the WAN link for user traffic. Thanks again. > "Harry Bates" <harry.bates@NO-SP…

Good Day, Our company is looking into a product called Diskextender which moves files from one location to another location and leaves a stub in it's place. Does anybody use this product and if so what do you think of it (Pros and Cons) and is there anything out there that you may feel is better. Any recommendations or suggestions would be a great help. Thank You Adam Raff

Remote Printing
by Guest Frank Castle- 2 replies
- 272 views
Hey Folks, I have printers in 40 branch offices. I have all my servers in a central location - my data center. I need to set up a print server but I am concerned about setting one up for 40 branches to print from my data center. I want to avoid buying 40 print servers - even if ther are inexpensive little ones from a local store. So, my question is - Does the "Print Directly to the Printer" feature enable me to bypass the print server and even though the print queue is hosted in my DC - allow me to print to the printer that is physically located in my office? Thanks in advance. -fc

Domain name resolution...
by Guest Andrew Meador- 7 replies

Please do not follow this link, or do so at your own risk - if it even works! I got an e-mail that I suspect is linking me back to a boggus PayPal site. The link is: htp://1422718346:82/cmd_home/index.php I changed http to htp so this would not create an active link. But will this resolve? Can this work as a dns/domain name? I've never seen a domain name like that before and wonder if there is something new being done in domain name resolution, or if I missed something and this has always been able to be done. I know this is an odd place to post this, but I figured server admins with DNS expertise would know. I didn't follow the link, may…

Hi, Our main DC (dns, wins) has a constant high cpu (60-99%). It is a 2003 server with SP2. Via Process explorer, i found in the threads tab that srv.sys has contant a minimum of 45% cpu time. It mentions 0x16602. Searching on the net does not give me anything usefull. Rebooting the server does not help. Mcafee 8.5 is installed, but i stopped all services. Does not help. What can i do ?

logoff problem
by Guest Will Sellers- 3 replies
- 283 views
When a user logs off it takes an abnormally long time. prior to the following changes logging off was not an issue: We use a mandatory profile which was stored on server A. We decided to decommission Server A because Server B is a new server. Replication of AD works fine Server A and Server B are assigning IP's the scope is split between the two servers Today I created a profile folder on server B In AD, I changed the profile path for users to point to server B When a user logson they get the desktop defined in the mandatory profile. When they logoff it takes forever to save personal settings. What am I missing? Should I have created the profile via the no…

Making domain users local admins
by Guest Laphan- 9 replies
- 607 views
Hi All I had a problem whereby the teachers couldn't use their home internet on their 'domain-linked' laptops because of the limited access that they get. Didn't want to make them part of the domain admins groups so somebody suggested that I add the domain users group (which they are part of) to the laptop's local admins (ie via Computer Management / Users&Groups/ Groups/ Admins. Is this OK to do? They seem to be able to get to the TCP/IP bit now, but what other 'doors' have I opened to the blessed teachers by doing this? Can they install/uninstall software now??? Thanks Laphan

I have a backup tape that was written with Veritas backup exec. The on tape catalog has been passworded (and the password was set up incorrectly, so I don't know what it is). Researching told me that Veritas uses MTF format, so NTBackup should (in theory) read the tape. I can get NTbackup to catalog the tape, no problem, but when it comes to restoring, approx on third of the file is restored. NTbackup either then stalls and does nothing, or claims it has successfully completed the restore. 1) As the tape formats compatible? Since the tape catalogs, I assume they should be. 2) why does NTbackup only restore 1/3 of the file. 3) How do I get my resto…

I'm doing a domain migration and need to move file shares that are current sitting on a file server off to a new file server in a new domain. I suppose I need to move the AD user accounts from the existing domain first with the SID history option? Do I then robocopy entire shares along with permissions to the new server? would this retain everything with no user access issues? thanks

Ist there a log of scandisk?
by Guest Johann Maar- 1 reply
- 192 views
Hi everybody, I wanted to check the file systems of my Windows 2003 server during the weekend and therefore activated scandisk tasks which would have been run after reboot. I set a reboot task to sunday and - now where can I see whether the scandisks were performed and what were the results? I cannot find anything in the event manager nor as a .log file. Is there any kind of log file? At a server I of course cannot sit in front of it and watch the results when scandisk runs... Best regards, Johann

ntbackup batch file for unattended tape backup/overwrite
by Guest David P. Lurie- 6 replies
- 442 views
W2K3 Standard How can ntbackup be run from the command line in a batch file to overwrite an existing tape in a DAT drive when the tape name is unknown, and will change from day to day? The GUI version will ask whether to use an existing tape in the drive, and then whether to overwrite. None of the ntbackup command line switches explicitly address that issue, but I thought that /P "4mm DDS" might work, i.e. ntbackup backup "@filename.bks" /J "job name" /P "4mm DDS" ... Unfortunately, am currently about 1 hour into a 68GB backup/verify, so can't test it yet. Thanks
