Cannot browse new server
by Guest RitchieJHicks- 2 replies
- 244 views
Hi, I have installed SBS2003 G2 on my new server, which I have connected to my existing domain and given a static IP. I have now set up user accounts and an insternet connection which works fine, and installed the latest updates. I can see the new server listed when I browse via the domain from a client computer, but cannot browse any of the shared drives on the new server. Note that I can still browse my exisiting domain fine. When I try to expand the new server, the client PC goes slow and then shows no subfolders. I am obviously missing something straight forward - the question is - what? Thnks, RH.

I realize this isn't necessarily Microsoft related so if someone know of a better group please let me know. I figured though there still had to be users here who have input... Thanks I have an IBM DS300 iSCSI SAN that I'm trying to figure out the best set up and utilization for our File Server so I can max out our available space. We have 14 possible drives to use can perform either Raid 0,1,5,10,50. We have gone with 3 arrays (4 drives, 4 drives, 3 drives) of Raid 5 with 3 hot swaps, 1 per array. Anyone have any better suggestions? I'd like to go to using Raid 50 however, with IBM it seems it Parities out space when creating the Array and then again wh…

reboot
by Guest Kevin- 9 replies
- 607 views
I am running Windows 2003 server. I reboots for no reason a couple times a day. All I notice in the event logs is a bunch of warnings about printers being deleted (it's a Citrix server) but those are common. Then messages about booting up and services starting. In order for the server to reboot from a script created by a virus, wouldn't it have to be located somewhere specific for Windows to apply it? -- Thanks for your help. Kevin

authenticating to member server from non-domain client
by Guest Mike D- 0 replies
- 182 views
Hi, I recently demoted a Windows 2003 file server from a domain controller to a domain member server. (I have two other DCs.) Previously, when this file server was a domain controller, non-domain computers could authenticate to a shared folder using simply their domain user name and password. Now that it's been demoted, it will no longer recognize a user unless they add the domain name as a prefix. Why would this be, and is there any way to change its behavior back to the way it was? (other than reverting it back to a DC) Thanks, Mike

login script to copy file
by Guest Rhea- 13 replies
- 608 views
I have Windows 2003 SBS and most users with WinXP Pro. I have tried this line of code in the login script but it doesn't copy the file. I have full rights to both directories. What is wrong with the code or do I need to add anything? I wouldn't have thought it was so difficult to get a file copied from the server to a user's c drive. Help please, this can't be that hard. copy "servername\Shared\OrderSystem\NewBPApp.exe" "c:\Program Files\Beaver Plastics\Order System\" I have also tried various adaptations to this basic line of code, to no avail. Thanks.

History: I am trying to audit remote systems' local security policies. I have admin access (read only) and I do not have access to push/pull gpo's (secedit/gpedit won't work for what I need to do). Problem: I need to find out what the local security policies are set to on the remote systems via command line. Does anyone know how to do this?

Has anyone seen this problem? when copying files in Windows 2003 Standard x64, the Memory:Available MBytes counter rather quickly drops down to under 100 MB. I saw a hotfix and registry change - applied that but still having problems. I've updated all drivers - still having problems. Does anybody else have any ideas? Thanks!
