Any suggestions? Thanks in Advance.

Windows 2000 DHCP Audit Logging.
by Guest fern- 1 reply

According to the below technet article, 2003 Server has the ability to set the length of how long the audit logs are kept for DHCP auditing. Yet it seems 2000 seems to only keep logs for a week. Am I missing something or does 2000 also have that option, and if so where?

C#, .NET v2 and Windows 2003 Standard vs. Enterprise
by Guest drew@sundawg.org- 0 replies

I have an application I wrote in C#, which sends an email periodically. The program works fine on my XP laptop, and on my Windows 2003 Enterprise server. However, I've installed the application on 2 Windows 2003 Standard servers where the program fails to send the email and throws an exception. Here's the relevant section of the C# code: try { client.Send(msg); } catch (Exception e) { log.Log("Error sending email:" + e.Message.ToString()); } And here's the error message from the 2003 Standard servers: Error sending email:Command not implemented. The server response was: Error: command not implemented All 2003 Server machines sit on the s…

Installing on to Existing Windows 2000 Server Network
by Guest Chris- 4 replies
- 434 views
I installed a Windows Server 2003 box on to an existing Windows 2000 server based network. I added it to the domain and set it up strictly as a file server. I then started to work on shares but ran into a problem. When I attempted to use the groups on the existing active directory they weren't there. For instance, when I would share something I would attempt to add a group on the existing domain but the group was not found. When I clicked on the "Location" button it only presented me with the local computer/server as a location and not the entire directory. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi all I need help with Windows NT Backup. I normally use Veritas or Arcserve but for a while I need to use NTBackup. The server is Win2K3 with Exchange2K3. I need to backup both the Win & Exchange servers. I can perform this task manually but when I try to schedule the task it NEVER works.

Routing
by Guest Brandon- 1 reply
- 245 views
Can anybody advise me on a way to route only http traffic to a certain IP. My DG points to .254, but that is only for the internal vpn and mail. HTTP traffic all goes to .253 but update.microsoft.com does not work even when specifying proxy as .7 which routes that traffic to .253. What I need to do in the routing table is route only http traffic to a certain ip, different to the DG, without using a proxy. Any help / insight would really be appreciated. Brandon.

Need Help
by Guest buc- 0 replies

I have set up WEB server (Windows 2003 SP2 with IIS) to host a site. While looking through the security events audit. I noticed a large number of FAILURE AUDITS with the MICROSOFT_AUTHENTICATION_PACKAGE_V1 and KRBTGT\ service. These audits have various logon user names like PETER, APPLE, ROOT, LISA, MASTER, DOG and other random names. It has the sourceworkstation = the computer name of my server, and it has an error code of 0xC0000064. I am concerned. This happens for about a minute and stops during certain days. What is this? Is it an inside or outside hijack. What can this do? Can it control the computer. Thanks BUC
