Windows Home Server vs Windows Server Enterprise
by Guest hufaunder@yahoo.com- 1 reply
- 163 views
I really like what Windows Home Server has to offer: *Automated daily backups of multiple computers *Remote access *Streaming music *The way storage can be expanded including redundancy Now I have a Windows Server Enterprise license sitting around doing nothing. So rather then shelling out money for Windows Home Server I am wondering if Windows SErver Enterprise can do all of the above as well. Any input is appreciated. Thanks

File Share - DNS Alias
by Guest Hutch- 1 reply
- 163 views
Recently moved from an older server, to a new file server with larger capacity. At issue however is the GPO's that had been setup to look after program installs (MS Office, etc). These GPO's were setup to point to ServerA. We have moved the install points to ServerB. I had thought that the simplest thing to do was: In DNS - Create A record for ServerB Then - Create CNAME alias for ServerA, pointing to ServerB. The problem is, if I update the GPO's to point to ServerB, then it will force a re-install on all our client machines (we have had this happen before). The Alias, while I can ping it properly, I cannot map to it using UNC. I get an err…

Scheduled task, ran interactively ?
by Guest andyjgw- 0 replies
- 163 views
Hi Here's what I'm trying to do: Create a scheduled task that will be installed via group policy as a computer startup script, that will run at a certain time a day and interact with the currently logged on user. The task creation and such works fine, but I'm stuck in that the task runs with local SYSTEM privileges and thus the user never sees the interface (actually, an HTA html application pop up). I've tried messing around with /U and /RU switches with "schtasks / create" to no avail. If I specify the user, then it prompts for that user's password - and the problem with that anyway is that if User A puts in their password, but User B happens to be th…

Monitoring Software

Was looking for some suggestions on monitoring software. Have a few requirements i havent had any luck finding. Obviously i'd like all the basic stuff, disk space, service, and basic health but there are a few other things i'd like to try and do. 1) Agentless monitoring - i know the majority of info can be pulled remotely with WMI and other techonologies so i dont see the need to toss more crap on my servers. This one isnt a must, but if i can find it, great. 2) custom SQL Queries - would like to be able to use SQL Count queries to help monitor some of our apps 3) custom WMI queries to make sure the results are within set bounds 4) Process monitor…

Opening PDFs in Server 2003
by Guest maltman- 1 reply
- 162 views
I don't know if anyone else has experienced this but when my users try and open a PDF from any of our terminal servers, they are not allowed to open it. It pops up with the message for them to save the file. All of our terminal servers are running Windows Server 2003. Has anyone encountered this and know of a way around it? I was told that it has to do with Server 2003 blocking the pdf extension. If this is the case, is there no work around? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Matt

Hi We're setting up wireless and using a RADIUS server. We've come to the thorny issue of trying to automatically push out a certificate. I've created the certificate which is a duplicate of the user template, but when I go into the certification authority snap in, it doesn't appear in the last to add for enrollment? Anyone shed any light on this or need more information? Thanks

wallpaper reverting back
by Guest UWRFREPORTER04- 0 replies
- 162 views
I'm experience a small, but annoying problem where sometimes after you restart the wallpaper reverts back to a basic blue background. Under the settings the correct wallpaper is selected and it takes affect once you click ok, but can't figure out why that happens. This may or may not related. There are times where the desktop doesn't load either. It comes to a blank blue screen with nothing on it, not even a task bar. I'm able to hit ctrl-alt-delete and either log off or shut down or enter "explorer" to load the desktop. Most of these pcs were reformatted with a clean install of windows.

Rate/Bandwidth limiting
by Guest Kyle Brotheridge- 0 replies
- 162 views
I've always used *nix for this purpose in the past, but this time it is not possible to have 2 seperate servers, there must be 1 server, and it must be WinSvr2K3. The bottom line is, this server will be the gateway for approx 14 clients. I'll have 2 NIC's in the PC, and I want to rate limit / bandwidth throttle every user internally from the 2nd NIC which will be the WAN connection. But I (obviously) dont want to limit every user's access to the server itself ie access to the server from NIC 1 is not limited. Is this possible with WinSvr2K3? I cant find anything on the internet about rate limiting users in Windows Server let-alone in the configuratio…

Migrate Creation Date only attribute
by Guest jimmy stelle- 0 replies
- 162 views
I have a problem. I migrated a large number of files and did not set the preserve timestamp setting in the utility I used and now, after a couple of weeks in production, we have an application problem. Is there a CLI utility where I can copy just the creation date from a source file to a destination file without changing any other atribute, or the data it self? We still have the source data intact. I know I can use Robocopy to copy the timestamp, but we want to preseve the new destination 'modify date', and only change the creation date. Thanks,

SSL 2.0 Vulernability
by Guest Andy W- 1 reply
- 162 views
Hello Everyone, Our servers were scanned for vulnerabilities. One thing that came up with web servers that had certificates on them was SSL V2 being enabled, which is a Vulnerability. KB 187498 was referenced to disable SSL V2. Seems straightforward enough except for one part. Below I've pasted the section where I get confused. "Microsoft Windows NT Server stores information about different security-enhanced channel protocols that Windows NT Server supports. This information is stored in the following registry key: HKey_Local_Machine\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\SecurityProviders \SCHANNEL\Protocols Typically, this key contains the follow…

Offline files permissions query?
by Guest UselessUser- 1 reply
- 162 views
Hi, I have walked into a new scenario which is odd for me! Basically I have a server which has this structure E:\HomeDirectory\%username% The folder HomeDirectory is shared, with share permissions set as Everyone Full Access. NTFS permissions have only administrators, creater owner, and system as full control. If we create a new user in AD with their H drive set to: \\server\HomeDirectory\%username% This creates the folder correctly and it is perfectly usable... Now we have a few users who are right clicking their H and selecting make available offline, and this is working fine. However I could not do this myself (I do not run as domain adm…

multiple copies of my documents in users folder
by Guest PMGkenk- 0 replies
- 162 views
We are using a Windows 2003 file storage server for the users folders and have DFS running on the network. We have noticed the size of the backup increasing and found that multiple users folders have the my documents folder in their users folder. Then inside that folder there is another my documents folder with a complete copy of everything and inside that another my documents folder and this goes as much as 15 layers deep. Does anyone know the cause and solution for this issue. -- PMGkenk

Tips on reducing profile sizes automatically...
by Guest Jake- 1 reply
- 162 views
Hi, Some of my users are plagued with huge profile sizes which takes a lot of time for logging on/off. Does it exist an elegant way to find out which folders are actually pulled and pushed at logon / logoff? From this collection of folders I could list the biggest files from 'temp' and 'download' folders and give the users the opportunity to manually delete unnecessary files. Thanks for tips on this rgds jake

Date changes too late - at 00:10:00
by Guest Beebob- 0 replies
- 162 views
On a 2003 server running MS-SQL the internal clock changes the date 10 minutes past midnight. The time is running correct, but from 00:00:00 to 00:10:00 the date is "yesterday". The server is part of a NT4-domain, and the "Windows Time" service is running. On some of the other servers and PC's in the network we're running the K9nt time service, but not on this particular server. Other servers - independent of the K9nt service - is changing the date correct. Any suggestions ? Jorgen Beck-Bang IT Administrator

Re: Virtual Server 2005 R2 can not access the Virtual CD/DVD Drive.
by Guest sandiego- 0 replies

Re: Virtual Server 2005 R2 can not access the Virtual CD/DVD Drive. I have found the only way around a CD drive not being recognised is to use the VMRC Plus application available from MS to run VS 2005. The web management just would not work after the first install. VMRC Plus is a pretty handy tool anyway. http://www.mtechnical.co.uk -- sandiego ------------------------------------------------------------------------ sandiego's Profile: http://forums.techarena.in/member.php?userid=10779 View this thread: http://forums.techarena.in/showthread.php?t=744839 http://forums.techarena.in

Localsystem missing in 2003

I am running Windows 2003 R2 and seem to be missing my "Documents and Settings\LocalService" folder. I have a program that is running as a service that works fine on my XP machine but won't work on the 2003 because I need to access my PGP keys which are found in the LocalService\Application Data\PGP folder. But I can't see a LocalService folder to put the data there. Is there a reason why it is not there or that I can't see it? I do see: Adminstrator All Users Default User MyLogon SQLService Thanks, Tom
