Move Certificate authority from DC to member server
by Guest youngny- 0 replies
- 151 views
Hi, In my current environment I've 3DC running windows 2003 SP1, one dc is running Certificate authority and it is also running IAS. My goal is to remove CA from the DC and install it on a member server and remove IIS from the DCs to improve the security of the DCs. We are using IAS for the wireless client authentication. The current certificate which is installed on the clients will expire next year in April. Are there any guidelines to remove CA from DC to a member server. Should I leave IAS on the DC or move it to a member server. I've read it is better to leave IAS on a DC for performence reasons. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks

Network Scan for softwares
by Guest Yinka- 0 replies
- 173 views
Good day All, I have large network I would like to scan to find out the operating system softwares on some of them and also the microsoft softwares installed on them. On the network most users are on the domain and some are not. Also some computers have their windows firewall turned on. I do not have MOMS or SMS on my network. We are basically trying to scan to make sure we are complaint in all ways. Is there a tool that can do this even if it's a vbscript that I might need to modify? Also what limitations would I have considering that not all the computers are on the domain and the firewall issue on some? Thank you, Yinka

How to resize the system partition?
by Guest WetBehindEars- 0 replies
- 215 views
Is it safe to use PartionMagic on a Windows Server 2003 box? I have a client who's system partitioin is just about full and I'd rather resize the partition instead of purchasing 3 new SCSI drives and installing them (RAID-5). I have moved everything I can possibly move from the system partition, so my options are PartitionMagic (if its feasable) or order them 3 new larger drives and rebuild it. Could I take out one of the old drives and put the newer larger drive in and let that rebuild itself? Then do that with the other 2 new lager drives? What is the best way to go when having to replace a RAID-5 drive setup?

I work at a credit union and for compliance reasons they want us to start documenting and interpreting the event logs of our servers. I do regularly monitor the event logs but I would definitely like some feedback as to how other admins approach this daunting task. I especially would like suggestions as to how to make sense of the security event logs. There are so many events (both success and failure logs) that are perfectly benign. What type of events do you need to look out for? Thank you for in advance for any advice given. Peter

How Do I Change the Computer's SID without Reboot?
by Guest Chris Allen- 0 replies
- 258 views
Hello all, Is it possible to change a computer's SID without restarting? More specifically... What I'm trying to do is this. I'm trying to come up with a way to do a bare metal restore on Windows. I've written a program that saves the all of the file metadata (attribs, sacls, dacls, mod time, etc) for all the files in the filesystem to a single file which is backed up to another computer. Basically this is like running SetACL or FileACL recursively and telling it to dump all the information to a file and then copying this file elsewhere. The problem I'm having is on restoration. I'm booting up a BartPE boot disk, copying the files back and then applyin…

CPU usage monitoring
by Guest Paul- 0 replies
- 196 views
Do you know of a tool like QSlice that will display activity for each CPU or that you can choose which CPU it will display. I have a server with 16 CPUs and no services appear to be having an impact yet several times an hour at random one CPU (usually CPU 10, 11 or 12) will almost flatline for up to a minute which sets off our monitoring software.

What happened to Windows 2008 server remote access?
by Guest user- 0 replies
- 200 views
I have bought 5 new 2008 servers to replace my 2003 servers. I installed a USR external modem and enabled Dialup networking Route & Remote access. All went well, no errors, Routing & remote access for dialup running ok. Modem shows ok, did a test dial out, OK. Modems will not answer on any of the 5 servers, AA light blinks but thats it. Is there something new in 2008 server I am missing, just to get the modem to answer? I'll worry about authentication later.. I had no problems with this on 2003 servers / same modems. I even tried a diff modem on one. Thanks BUC

Windows 2003 Certificate Authority Question
by Guest Andy H- 0 replies
- 198 views
Hi I have setup a Windows 2003 Enterprise Certificate Authority, this is installed on one of two domain controllers. Although there is an Active Directory domain, the is going to be no AD integration, no auto enrolment and the user accounts will not be stored in the active directory that the certificates will be used for. I have setup the Certificate Authority and IIS to publish the CRL on the same AD server, if this server falls over though we loose the CRL. Is there a way I can publish the same CRL across two servers using IIS? Or can you integrate the Certificate Authority to share the CRL with Active Directory across the two domain controller…

I have a Windows Server 2003 R2 SP2 server that is attached to an EMC CLARiiON using (2) Emulex LPe11000-E fiber channel HBAs. I have loaded the latest drivers and firmware for the HBAs (drv=5-2.01A4, fw=2.72A2) I have also installed KB932755 for updates to STORPort. However I'm still experiencing slow write speeds to LUNs on the CLARiiON. The LUN in question is made up of (9) 146Gb 10k RPM Fiber Channel drives. When performing a write operation whether it be a copy from Windows or some type of backup to disk the speed is slow and I have also discovered that the Disk Bytes per Write are maxed out at 65292 bytes (64Kb) which I thought was a limitation e…

Printer Woes
by Guest maitakeboy- 0 replies
- 293 views
Two issues: 1- On one of my print servers, I have created printers within a domain user account which is a member of the local administrators group. When I try to go and configure those printers, most everything is greyed out, specifically the Advanced tab with the Printing defaults. 2- My printers folder on this machine is a little funky generally. When I log off as one user and log on as another, I can't get the printers folder to enumerate the printers. It says 7 printers at the bottom of the window, but hands with the hourglass indefinitely. A reboot solves this, but I still can't log off and log on and see printers in each user profile. Any ideas…

- 193 views
I am having a problem with some users logging into server 2003 from a remote desktop. I have had 2 users try to login and they just get a black screen. If they login at the server it works or if I login at their desktop I can login and get the remote desktop. I have checked the RDP settings and checked the accounts at the server. If I make them a new server login it works. I am using this workaround for now. Thanks for any help.
