Default Gateway IP different from IP address of PC
by Guest Alice- 3 replies
- 434 views
My default gateway (on WinXP Pro SP2) is 10.10.12.1 and the IP address of my PC is 10.10.13.181. I think this is why I have trouble logging in to the network every morning. Is it the default gateway IP that needs to be changed? PC's computer name was changed about a month ago. Thanks. -- Alice.

POP 3 Authentication on 2003 SBS Server
by Guest Michael Collins- 4 replies

Have a remote user (at his home) for whom I am trying to setup POP 3email for his exchange email account from the office. Have everything setup correctly except whne it gets to the POP3 server authentication, the box asking for user name and password keeps popping up asking for password. I have reset and verified the password several times for the users account, still unable to authenticate. Used telnet to connect to POP3 Server successfully, this would indicate that port 110 is open on the router. Was able to enter user email address successfully, but when i entered the password in telnet connection I get unknown username or password error message. I…

Hi, after I added a second domain controller to my current active directory setup I notice that every time I reboot a machine it takes something like 20-45 minutes for it to get past the "applying computer settings step" I notice if i simply shut down the second domain controller it gets past this step immediately. Does anyone know what in the second domain controller is causing this issue? I have DNS installed on both domain controllers.. -Drew

Problems with SBS 2003 and Domain-Workgroup config
by Guest Teo- 9 replies
- 691 views
Hi guys, I have Windows Small Business 2003 Server installed on my Dell Poweredge. The server came preinstalled as a domain controller. Because I don't have that many XP professional licences, I had to run dcpromo on the server to downgrade it to a regular server without domain controller. Yesterday I was looking at the log files and I saw a SBCore error, that said that the machine was going to shut down in 60 minutes. After this I ran the configuration to bring it back to a domain controller. Everything went well and it took a long time. After the server restarted and prompted me with the login information. No domain was shown, just username and passwo…

Official upgrade path to Windows 2003 standard to R2?
by Guest Fox1977- 2 replies
- 416 views
I need to upgrade a couple of live windows 2003 standard edition servers to R2 so I can use DFS replication. I have contacted our software supplier to ask them how much an upgrade is but they say it isn't available as an upgrade. Is it possible to do this and what is the licencing situation. Do I need to buy a Win 2003 server R2 full licence to upgrade the licence Windows 2003 server standard I have already got. Seems a bit of a crazy way to do it. A couple of posters on here say it is possible to upgrade 2003 standard but you need to have the right R2 version to go with your installation (retail, volume licencing, MSDN). How do i go about checking what v…

Server 2003 slow to a crawl
by Guest d.barrow@virgin.net- 3 replies
- 423 views
The server was running fine until a week ago, but it's slowed to a disc-bound crawl. CPU time is 1-2%, Network activity is negligible, but the HDD is constantly in action. There have been no significant changes to the setup. Task manager shows no unusual activity. At the moment, no-one can even log in. Windows on the server take around 5 minutes to open up, so detective work is horribly slow. Is there a way to determine which process is driving the HDD activity? Ideas for where to look next...most welcome. Thanks

Definition of User CALS
by Guest stewart- 1 reply
- 407 views
How does Microsoft define a user for the User CALS? We have about 250 Users. We have an additional 200 or so shared accounts; aka resource accounts (calendars, conference rooms, etc). Do we need 250 CALS for the 250 people accessing all the accounts? or do we need 450 CALS for each account that has access to the network? thanks

Logon + Roaming Profile - Nearest Server
by Guest Chris- 1 reply
- 363 views
Hi, I have 1 x SBS2003 server + 2 x Server2003 servers SBS2003 - 192.168.0.2 Server02 - 192.168.1.2 Server03 - 192.168.2.2 These are linked together via VPN across the country. All servers are DCs so Active Directory is all there and up to date. Now, we'd like to setup roaming profiles so that when a user logs on at any site they get their roaming profile without it transferring from SBS2003 server (and hence taking ages to copy the profile). How do I setup roaming profiles so that each user can log on anywhere and their profile is copied from the 'nearest' server in geographic proximity? Thanks Chris

Internet Explorer 7.0 upgrade

- 304 views
Hi, I am currently running IE7 on a Windows 2003 terminal server environment. Previous to upgrading to IE7, if I clicked a link in a Outlook 2003 email, I would be taken to the webpage. Now, I receive an error message "This operation has been cancelled due to restrictions in effect on this computer". We have a Group Policy which restricts anything from running unless it is listed under "Run only allowed Windows applications" - iexplore.exe is in this list. I can confirm that I don't receive the error when I remove GPO restrictions from the user account. Does IE7 run different dll files to IE6 that I would need to register with the GPO? Thanks for…

Configuring Automatic Shutdown when power supply is off?
by Guest Okramo- 2 replies
- 358 views
hello, I just bought smart ups and connected server to it via RS232. Also my ups has IP address assigned to it and that part is also working OK (I can ping ups). I'am wondering, how to configure Windows Server to close programs and shut down when battery of ups is getting low and I am not around. OS must figure that he's on UPS and needs to start shut down script. I've tried to configure something with Power options properties but no luck with that. Don't understand what I have to do. Can't find my ups in presented ones and when I chose Custom don't know what to do. I need some help :) thanks

Good afternoon. I'm not quite sure where to ask this question, so any direction provided would be greatly appreciated. We run a Server 2003 R2 environment that contains a SQL Server 2000 database. A VB front end using MS Access Runtine 2003 runs over the database.
