Redirect server share?
by Guest mwf- 2 replies
- 338 views
Is it possible to redirect a share from server A to server B? Assume that server A is not going away. We're trying to consolidate a particular share from multiple regional servers down to one corporate share. The regional servers are not going away. We need to be able to automatically redirect calls to the old UNC path to the new location in order to maintain links embedded in some of the documents. Any ideas?

Include printer drivers for Vista into a Windows 2003 Printserver
by Guest Johannes Heckenstaller- 0 replies
- 278 views
Hello, how can I include print drivers written for Vista into a Windows 2003 Printserver in order to publish/distribute the printer in the AD ? The Windows 2003 server has at printer properties (Tab "Sharing") the Button "Additional Drivers" only the option to include/install drivers for Windows 200x, XP, NT4, 9x and the Itanium-platform plus Intel x64 -but no entry/option for Vista. What can I do in order to include them? I can imagine, that I´m not the only one with this problem - there must be thousands of companies around the world with this problem. Is Microsoft not able to update/patch the Windows 2003 Server (printservice) in order to serv…

Is there a need for this?
by Guest Brandon Arnold- 12 replies

Hi, I'm an entry level "admin" for a network in my office. Previously I was a systems admin for a small business and maintained a mixed Mac/XP setup with a server 2003 machine setup for file sharing and an internal testing site for the web devs. Now I'm thrown into an office with a previously configured SBS and I've noticed on all my workstations, all XP Pro, they're set to connect to the server which is setup for AD. As best I can tell, it's completely useless. Everyone logs onto the server but works locally. The only reason I can see that the server is even in the building is to host files that everyone accesses and to run an SQL database for an app we ha…

We just moved all the operations from a File/print server to a new one and everything is working except for a shared excel spreadsheet. the users are reporting that they get "Delayed write failed" when trying to write to this shared file. I have checked all the settings and permissions and they are able to use other files fine. I have found some notes on the web about auto neg between the nics and the switch port. the old server were HP NICS and now they are Built in Broadcom cards teamed together. Any thoughts? thanks

Basic WINS configuration question.
by Guest Purtech- 0 replies
- 288 views
I have two Server Standard 2003 R2 SP1 Domain Controllers. Lets say one Domain is xyz.com and the other lab.xyz.com. Full names: adminserver.xys.com and labserver.lab.xyz.com. A trust relationship flows from adminserver to labserver, but not the other way around. WINS was initially put on adminserver, then I started having errors that made me believe I needed WINS on labserver. Now both have WINS. DHCP exists only on adminserver and handles both domains. So...in the DHCP scopes do I make adminserver the Primary WINS and labserver Secondary? Does it matter? All the lab computer will wind up using adminserver as Primary WINS. Or should I install …

Deny logon privilege to every user except one on a domain computer
by Guest soup_or_power@yahoo.com- 1 reply

Hi I have a strange request from our office assistant. She works on a domain computer (Windows XP) called NORTON01. The domain is managed by a Windows 2003 server. She thinks someone is hacking into her files. So she wants to prevent everyone (except administrator of course) from logging into NORTON01. I searched for "restrict windows login" and found several pages that basically describe how to assign computers in the ADU. I can't use that feature because all the users except the office assistant float. Can anyone help me out here? Thanks

Print delay using a AD color printer

For some reason which I have yet been unable to figure, a few of my users who were upgraded from NT profiles to 2003 profiles have a delay of approx 24hrs when printing to our color printer (shared out using AD). While newly installed profiles - not upgraded - have no delay. Any idea what is going on here?? Thanks, Tom -- Tom Zucker-Scharff Systems Administrator

Hi, Since our recent domain controller migration from NT to Win2k3 R2 we cannot get acess any longer to the Properties/Sharing of any files/folders even as Domain Administrator, unless we open a session locally on the machine on which we want to manage any sharing... Ex : a shared folder on computer X can only be controlled using a administrator connection open locally (either as domain administrator or local machine administrator) but cannot be controlled from a session open on any other machine connected to the network even if the folder apperas in the explorer on this machine (right clic on this folder then Properties only displays the "General" &…

Unable To Install Additional Windows Components
by Guest Yeagermeister- 3 replies
- 406 views
I'm trying to install SNMP on a Windows 2003/SP2 box. During the Setup process, it asks for the Windows Server 2003 CD because it needs to copy certain .dll files. Sometimes it asks for a Service Pack 2 CD. And it doesn't ask for the same .dll file every time. In either case, I put the appropriate CD in the drive and point the wizard to the file it's looking for (the file is always there), but it keeps coming back and saying it cannot copy the file. An example: right now it's asking for the snmpmib.dll on the Windows 2003 Sever CD. When I put the CD in and point it directly to the file it just keeps coming back and asking for the file again. I tried making …

kerberos error codes

- 424 views
I've been receiving some kerberos error codes in the event viewer and any help to fix them would be appreciated. They are either under Event ID 675 or 673 (I don't know the difference) and the code is 0x25 which is relation to clock skew or the workstation clock being too far off from the DC and 0x20 which is a time out ticket request. Also see 0x1B and a few others. Is there a way I can fix this?

Recover Dynamic Disk
by Guest Ron Gallimore- 3 replies
- 435 views
I updated my home server to Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 2 today. When I rebooted it could not find ntfs.sys. I tried to copy the ntfs.sys file from the CD to the HDD but I kept getting access denied. Forgetting that I was using dynamic disks in this server I stuck it in my XP SP2 workstation to recover the files. That is where the problems begin. I can not read the disk since it is dynamic and I accidently destroyed the mirror apparently. It was running RAID 1 in the server. I still have the second disk that I have not touched since I do not want to lose any data. Is there any way to recover the data short of paying for recovery software or pr…

Streaming Media across multiple subnets

I work for a county library system as an administrator that has 28 branches in multiple locations within the county with multiple subnets. We have just acquired office-training videos that we are to make available to the public and I am looking into the best way to do this. On Friday, I did a test installation of streaming media server on a 2003 server box but did not have much time to look at it. So my question is what would be the best way to make these videos available on the public PCs all running XP pro across multiple subnets without sapping all of our bandwidth. I cannot setup a server at each location. The files are wmv. and quite large. Thank…
