Backup - Fails When tape fills up
by Guest JB- 5 replies
- 482 views
I'm having a seriousissue using the win2003 Server Backup Utility. It was once working perfectly, but as our organization has grown so has the data we accumulate. The full backup now spans 2 tapes - which is where the issue lies. When the tape fills up, NTBackup does not ask for a second tape to be inserted, instead it just cancels the backup. The log shows 'The requested media failed to mount. The operation was aborted' -------- The operation did not complete succesfully -------- Once or twice it has asked for a new tape to be inserted, but this is quite rare. (And on these occasions it normally will not continue, I get the message to 'Insert Media Lab…

Cant Apply Proxy GPO
by Guest JT- 0 replies
- 281 views
Hi All, Having a real bugger of a time applying a proxy GPO setting either to user or computer. Publishing the GPO from a windows 2003 native domain to xp sp2 clients with ie6. The policy is applied as it should be but the computers are not picking up the proxy configuration and applying it to IE6. All other policies work fine. There is no policy in place that can/will effect proxy settings. I have seen these problems posted by others but have not found a solution. Thanks

HP P3005 PCL6 printer driver
by Guest Dean- 3 replies
- 367 views
Hi, I was just curious if anyone has had experience troubleshooting print spooler issues with the HP P3005 print driver installed on a 2003 SP1 Ent server? What happens is the spooler service crashes or the server blue screens. This happened after I loaded the 3005 driver. I did notice in the registry at HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\Environments\Windows NT x86\Print Processors that there is a new key now called HPZPP4wm. It has a dll in there called hpzpp4wm.dll. I know that this is not a good thing for this to be loaded in the registry but I'm just curious if anyone has this driver loaded and what your experience is. TIA, Dean

ESENT and DhcpServer errors in tandem
by Guest justmark- 1 reply
- 287 views
I'm getting an ESENT 215 error in my Application log at the same time I'm getting a DhcpServer 1010 error in my System log (both posted below). I've been looking for hours for the answer to this, but can't find anything. The server's Win 2003 SP2 and runs BackupExec 11D (did the same thing with 10D). It only backs up some user files and not an Exchange server. This is a DC at a remote location. Any ideas as to where I can look for a solution? Thanks!

ASR restore fails to detect floppy
by Guest David Laszlo- 0 replies
- 327 views
I am running Windows 2003 Small Business Server SP1 on a standard HP proliant server. I have created an ASR backup set using a USB hard drive and a standard floppy. The ASR backup completed normally and I can see the 2 SIF files and the setup log on the ASR floppy. The floppy was preformatted using the same machine and has a data volume label of ASR. I ran a test restore to validate the ASR backup. At the point where ASR requires the floppy, I inserted the disk and pressed a key to continue. However the ASR routine continued to request that I insert the floppy disk and seemed unable to detect the disk. This issue has been repeated several times …

Hi, We map the "my documents" folder as follows \\server1\users \UserLogOnName Today I was browsing through \\server1\users (using windows explorer) when I saw a folder with the name \\server1\users\documents (The icon was changed to the "my documents" icon). When I double-clicked on the "documents folder" the path in windows explorer changed to the correct name \\server1\users\UserLogOnName! Why did the name of the folder change from "UserLogOnName" to "Documents"??? Thanks for your feedback, Dani

Folders not accessible
by Guest Todd Lane- 0 replies
- 291 views
I have a hard drive on my Windows Server 2000 install that is used for files only. Several of the folders on that drive are suddenly inaccessible. I am told it is inaccessible and the directory is either corrupted or unreadable. Are there any inherent tools in Server 2000 or 3rd party tools that you can recommend to help repair this issue. Once I recover the files that are in these folders I was planning to reformat the hard drive to see if that fixed issue in the long run. Any other advice would be appreciated. Todd

Missing Trash Icon
by Guest Todd Lane- 0 replies
- 269 views
Ok, it is probably a basic thing I'm missing, but I'm tired of looking for it. I can not find my Trash Icon anywhere on my Windows 2000 Server. I'm used to being able to customize the desktop on XP to add/ remove the icon from the desktop, but that functionality is either gone or in a different place on Server 2000. Where can I go to add the icon for the trash can back to my desktop? I am logged in as adminstrator currently, so any help pointing in the right direction would be appreciated. Todd

cannot create file “(file.name)” for writing
by Guest Stephen Bloomer- 0 replies
- 234 views
We have been running the identical setup for several years and suddenly students cannot create new web sites using MS FrontPage. When they try, they get a message that ‘cannot create file “(file.name)” for writing’. We are running WinXP SP2 fully patched, Office 2002 (we have also tried 2003). Servers are W2k3 SP2 fully patched. We have not changed any GP setting in several months Problem seems to be with server security or a server patch, as students can save work to a USB drive (if they have one) and there are no issues when a Domain Admin tries the software. Does anyone know of a patch that would cause this increased security or a GP setting…

by Guest Rick Lipkin- 0 replies

To All I have a wierd situation where I have a very successful ADO xHarbour\FWH C++ application ( executable ) which resides on a Win2003 server. When the users run the executable from the server ( shortcut on their pc ) the application connects to the off site SQL server and runs flawlessly. However .. if you are at the server console ( physically at the server ) .. and you run the same application ( on the server ) it will start but fail to connect to the first table. Totally exhausted here trying to find an answer .. I have found Google ideas on adding Persistant Security Info=False to no avail. Here is the connection string : oRs := TOleAut…

Question about W2K Server CALs
by Guest tim1948- 0 replies
- 245 views
My interest in W2K Server may be somewhat unusual, but hopefully someone will address it. My wife and I have two computers, one good and the other obsolete. An experiment indicated that RDP would allow the latter to function as a thin client, though consumer Windows does not support concurrent sessions. (And that's what I want, to use the better computer as an application server.) I purchased the "promo" edition of W2K Advanced Server for $88 online, which has a "10-client access limit." Does anyone know whether I shall be able to use it for my intended purpose without purchasing CALs?--at any rate, I have only the vaguest idea as to what they are or how to ac…

migrating from old hardware to new hardware.
by Guest Andy- 1 reply

is there some kind of trick where you can add drivers to a working windows installation so that if you were to just take those hard disks and put them in a newer machine it would boot up and work? I made a ghost image of one of the disks in my working exchange server and then put the ghosted sata drive in a brand new dell poweredge 1900 and like i expected it just reboots repeatedly. Is there some magic way to add drivers for the perc sas raid controller before i move the image over so that the boot loader is able to find the windows installation? or am I dreaming in teletubbies land? -Drew

W2K vs W2K3 Task Scheduler
by Guest Adrian- 0 replies
- 274 views
Hi I have anissue , I am backing up my DHCP scopes with NETSH to a remote location. I have a batchfile that runs in the task scheduler using an account that has DHCP User rights and change rights to the destination folder. this all works great in Wk2. In W2k3 if fails , I can only get it to work if I give the account full admin rights (Which I don't want to do ) Now I have picked up that the difference between the w2k and w2k3 tasks is that in w2k the perms on the task has the EVERYONE group with Read , List and Execute rights. Along with Administratos and System . In W2k3 it only has System and Administrators. I have tried adding the account I am …

AD Problems after Domain Rename
by Guest EricMill- 5 replies

Hopefully someone can help with this, I just finished performing a domain rename operation in a lab environment. I want to be sure of myself before completing the operation on a live server, so I started a new domain rename on the same domain that I had just renamed. However, I am no longer able to run DSQUERY within the domain. The command will not finish, it will not return any errors or messages of any kind. I tried several times, even tried removing and adding the control station back onto the domain. Still getting the same problem. It sounds to me like Active Directory got messed up during the operation the previous time, but I'm not sure of thi…

I have a network that is currently setup as so... 8 PC -- switch -- DHCP Server -- Win Server 03 --- Router What we would like to do is set up the server to address the network and remove the DHCP server. First we turned on RRAS and then DHCP. We connected to the router outside just fine on our first NIC but when it came to the addressing we had a problem. Basically we could not get any of our clients out onto the internet because they would not pick up a default gateway????? Why would that be??? Im pretty new to the whole windows enviorment and but i didnt think this would be all that difficult... guess I was wrong
