- 406 views
Hi all, Environment: - Windws Server 2003 R2 Standard Edition Service Pack 2 - IIS with FTP service - Windows Firewall enabled, TCP ports 21 and 20 are enabled both on exceptions list and on connection. Problem: "Connection closed by remote host." right after user name is entered when connecting from outside. When testing locally on the server or when Windows Firewall is disabled - everything is fine, no problems. When Firewall is enabled, connection from outside just drops right after user name is entered. IIS log file shows 421 FTP status and 121 win32 status. How to configure Windows Firewall properly for FTP service to work from outside? …

Logon screen gone
by Guest bbacker- 1 reply
- 282 views
Hello all, One of our windows 2003 servers is having a strange issue. After running well for some days it suddenly stops displaying the logon screen to logon. Only the grey desktop background remains. Its also unreachable over the network and does not respond to PING requests. AD functionality like user logon verification and replication traffic stops working from this DC to other DC's in the same domain. Sometimes the server happens to do this after 2 days, sometimes after a week, so there is no real pattern in it. Only pattern in it, is that it happens just after the backup has been finished successfully (we use Tivoli backup software). Server is Window…

Is there a way to pull a log of what websites where visited by certain IPs or users? I know there are software programs that detail the urls, minutes on the page, and other things. But what I am looking for is a way to pull some of the same information if not all of it from just the existing Win 2003 Server software.

2003 server 100% cpu, unmanageable.
by Guest gscanga- 3 replies
- 399 views
I have a system (dc actually) that spikes at 100% cpu and stays that way. I can't get any information whatsoever on the system when it does this (ie, pslist to check cpu processes, mmc to check event logs, RDP to remotely view, etc.) Several times, I've waited 15-20 minutes for a console session to display with no luck. So, after I cold-boot the machine, I check the event logs and can't find anything. is there something that I can proactively setup and let run that will grant me better insight into what may be happening when or prior to cpu spikes? Perhaps perfmon? Thanks.

Hello all, First, my apology if this is the wrong NG for this question. I am trying to find detailed descriptions for the EventID's used by the operating system when writing events to the event log. I have found information related to "security" at MSDN, but what Here is an example of what I am asking for http://support.microsoft.com/kb/299475 but for ALL event ID's explained. Is there such a reference ? I am having a bit of trouble finding one. At the very least, I would like to get the event id's for failed file and folder deletes due to lack of permissions. Thanks in advance. TDM

close an open file by name
by Guest drdraxx- 3 replies
- 413 views
I'm looking for a way to be able to close an open file by name on a Windows 2003 Server Standard automatically. In a few google searches, I found people listing a command to close all open files: for /f "skip=4 tokens=1" %a in ('net files') do net files %a /close and one to close individual files: net file ID /close The problem with that is knowing the file ID. To test I tried to open a file on the server, check the ID, close the file and open it again but the ID changed. Does anyone know of a method I could use to close one specific file by name by say a scheduled task or .bat file or anything like that?

Advice on upgrading domain server and exchange server
by Guest David M. Wolff- 0 replies
- 293 views
I was just looking for some general advice and possible links to white papers that might help me. My network (12 server and 300 workstations) is currently running a windows 2000 domain controller and exchange 2000. I would like to upgrade to a Windows 2003 (64 bit) domain controller and Exchange 2007. Would it be better to upgrade my domain controller before my exchange server? Are there any concerns about running adprep on my windows 2000 domain server so I can add a windows 2003 backup domain controller? Once I have a windows 2003 backup domain controller can I just promote to be my primary domain controller? Are their any problems I should anticipate? …

Open Files and Shadow Copies for Shared Folders
by Guest TREE65- 2 replies
- 364 views
I just enabled Shadow Copies for Shared Folders on our new Windows Server 2003 file server. I have discovered that open files do not get shadow copied. Furthermore, all previous shadow copies of the open files are removed. When I look at the previous versions client, there are no previous versions listed; however prior to the shadow copy that occurred while the file was open there had been previous versions listed in the previous versions client. Please note that the shadow copy occurs when the file is open and then at some point later I save and close the file, and then I check the previous versions. Is this by design? I can live with shadow copie…

Activate Windows when remote connect
by Guest JJM0926- 3 replies
- 382 views
Hope someone could help shed some light. When I try to remote desktop connect to our Windows 2003 server I get an activate windows message. I can log in to the server as Administrator, but can't get any further. It prompts for activation. It is already activated and we've had this server for years. What's really odd is I can go on the server itself and on the console and I don't get any activation message. We haven't done any upgrades or any recent updates. Any insights would be greatly appreciated.

Migration to Exchange 2007 Oddities
by Guest Kelly [MCSE]- 1 reply
- 282 views
A week or so ago we started running low on storage for our current Exchange 2003 setup. Instead of slapping on more storage, we decided to migrate to Exchange 2007 on a shiny new server with loads of storage since we planned on doing it later this year anyways. The installation of Exchange 2007 and the new server into our current environment (having mail flow from outside to new server to old server and vice versa worked great) and even the migration of mailboxes to the new server worked perfect without any issues. Our BES also switched over fine once we updated the MAPI profile for the BES Admin account. There's just a couple of random issues that aren't cau…

Printer Woes
by Guest maitakeboy- 0 replies
- 290 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…

Selection list recommendation for Backup Exec 9

- 287 views
I'm using Backup Exec 9 to run tape backup for 2 servers, one file server and one Exchange server. I want to grab the system state from both, the files, and the Exchange DB. Does anyone have any recommendations as to what should be exempted from the backup job? Like directories that don't need backing up?
