Fax Service email routing problem
by Guest dwayneross@coolings.co.uk- 0 replies

Hi, I am having a problem with SMTP authentication and i am not sure where the problem is. Basically we are using an external isp for hosting all our email and then collecting all our email via smtp / pop. Up until recently we were using another host for some of our email. One of the functions we used was emailing all faxes that are received into Microsoft Fax Console within Windows 2003 server and routing them to an external mailbox for clients to pick up. When changing the settings within Microsoft Fax Service manager the faxes are no longer routing to email. The event log within windows gives event id's of 32083, 35089, 32078 which all suggest an smtp …

cygwin problems on 2003 Enterprise, impersonating fails.
by Guest qa4ever- 0 replies
- 145 views
Hi On Win2003 SP2 Enterprise _only_ we have seen an odd thing happening when logging on using telnet. telnet into machine work but inside telnet prompt "switching to user andy failed" cygwin inetd service, who runs the telnet service, is running as "Local System" account and interact with desktop. Identical to other 2k3 Standard Edition Computers , this works (running cygwin on LocalSystem account and login successfully) . In what respect is Windows Enterprise Edition different than Standard Edition in these service and security areas? (I think basically the cygwin inetd NT service tries to impersonate the other user but fails, but why ? ) We have …

Access Denied through MMC over network
by Guest stufeatherston@gmail.com- 0 replies
- 145 views
I am unable to connect to any servers or other workstations in my domain from my workstation. I am attempting to remotely connect via different MMC snap-ins. I get Access Denied when trying to connect to remote computers for IIS or Group Policy management. If I attempt this on other workstations it allows me to do it, so it must be some setting on my workstation. I have domain administrator rights. I was able to connect remotely fine up until about a month ago and I don't remember making any changes around the time this started happening. Any ideas?

I have a number of machines on which I'd like to do ASR backups (to allow for bare metal recovery). The only way I have found to do the backup is via the ASR Backup wizard in NTBACKUP, which must be run from the GUI. Are there non-published command line switches for NTBACKUP that allow you to create an unattended ASR backup? Thanks in advance for any assistance. Please post any responses to the newsgroup. Ken

2003 Print Server and Client Driver Updates
by Guest Aaron- 0 replies
- 145 views
Can someone either explain or point me to some documentation on how an XP client interacts with a Server 2003 print server in so far as drivers go? We're having some strange errors with a simple script that runs at logon and adds a default printer to the XP client. We recently built a new print server and modified the scripts to point to the new server. The new server has updated printer drivers and from what we can tell, if the client attempts to download the new driver, the script errors out. Our suspicion is that this is because the user doesn't have permission to update the printer drivers (which we know to be the case). If we log on as an administrator …

Reported drive size less than half of partition space?
by Guest ayrob- 0 replies
- 145 views
Hi, I have a Windows Server 2003 SP1 server using a Raid-5 array with 8 146GB drives. There is one basic partition that is 956.91 GB, but the NTFS file system reports it as 410.09 GB. This appears under disk management. The top line that shows the volume reports 410.09 GB. The lower area with the partition information shows 1 partition of 956.91 GB. Any idea how I can reconcile this difference without wiping the drive and restoring from backup? -- Thanks, Rob

Server fails repeatedly after 2003 SP2 installation

After installing SP2 on Windows Server 2003 standard SP1, server fails every five days. I have not found out why. I'd like to hear any suggestions you have on solving this problem. Visible effect is that new applications/processes cannot be started (Application failed to initialize properly). Applications already running work usually fine. Server is sluggish, and usually cannot be restarted or shut down normally (power off is required). Event log shows that problems have started earlier. Latest failure shows first an event id 1501 from SNMP (System Log), id 2012 PerfOs "Unable to get process info from system" (Appl Log), id 10010 DCOM "..did not regis…

Clients lose WServer 2003 connection every afternoon
by Guest Resource10- 0 replies
- 144 views
Our network seems to be running fine, except that any clients still attached to the server (Windows 2003 SBS on a dual Xeon platform) around 6:00 PM locally lose access to the server. This means they cannot save their work or contact our time card system. The network was set up in late March and we have had no trouble. This has started recently, probably within the last three weeks. There have been no changes made to the network, policies, rights or such since early April. Any and all help would be appreciated.

Introduced on April 24, 2003 as the successor to Windows 2000 Server, it is considered by Microsoft to be the cornerstone of their Windows Server System line of business server products.

RE: Dynamic DNS, DNS Records & Scavenging Hi Guys, Has anyone had anythought on my post from last week? I'm pulling my hair out to get this working. Hello Peeps, We have an issue whereby we want external clients to register there VPN IP addresses in DNS. The VPN connections are handled by a RAS server which gets the IP addresses from DHCP. There are two DHCP Servers; DC01 DHCP,DNS, Domain Controller Server01 DHCP,DNS, Domain Controller Server02 RAS Both the servers are set to update A and PTR records for clients. In DNS however this doesn't seem to be the case. I then added DC01 to the DNSUpdateProxy and when i did this i saw…

How do you set up warnings in Windows Server 2003 for Overheatingissues?

Hello Everyone, Is there a way to set up warnings to inform the administrator, or even just log the event, in the case of a server overheating? I tried to set up an alert (computer management -> performance logs and alerts -> alerts), but i can't find anything specific to the server that would indicate an overheating issue. An alert for an overheating motherboard, cpu, hard drive, or even fan speed would help immensely. Thanks!

Perfmon log files are not collecting data
by Guest infecticide- 0 replies
- 144 views
Hello, I have an interesting issue on a large Citrix farm that uses Windows Server 2003 Standard. I'm trying to capture some performance data. I've setup the logs and the counters but after I hit stop and review the logs, there is no actual metrics data in there. The date and times are there but not the actual data. I checked the event viewer, it shows that the perfmon started and is logging to the file I specified. No errors. Any ideas why this might be happening?
