I moved a php site from a unix server to a Windows 2003 Server. I installed PHP for Windows. I tried running the site and all I get is "No input file specified". Any thoughts? Can I get this site to work or is it a lost cause? Thanks!

32-bit server, mixed 32/64-bit clients?
by Guest Hurricane Andrew- 0 replies
- 295 views
What are the issues that I should anticipate in such a setup? Specifically, I'd like to tread slowly in the move to 64-bit. I have a simple home network setup: 1 Longhorn 32-bit standard server 1 dual boot Vista/XP client 32-bit (main PC, Vista default OS) 1 dual boot XP/Vista client 32-bit (kids PC, XP default OS) All are on a single domain. Both clients are capable of 64-bit. The server is as well, but I'd like to hammer out any 64-bit issues, quirks, etc. on a client before messing with the server, plus most of my kids' games and such aren't ready for the 64-bit plunge, so their PC will be stuck on 32-bit XP Pro for the foreseeable future. …

Is it always required that the pagefile is 1.5 x system memory??
by Guest tlyczko- 0 replies
- 297 views
Is it possible and reasonable to reduce the pagefile in a server with 4GB RAM (3 GB usable, /3GB switch, Windows Server 2003 Standard) to 2GB from 4GB?? What are the performance monitors I need to look at in Performance Monitor to know how much the pagefile is really being used?? These servers are for Exchange 2003 (also DC, file/print) and SQL 2005. OR -- is it better to me to just move the pagefile to the larger one of the two partitions on the server?? That is, from C:\ to D:\?? (C is smaller than it should be, D is quite large) I know that the servers will eventually have to be rebuilt or replaced but if I can move or resize the pagefile, I can put thi…

Account lockout in win2k3 server
by Guest cyberdude- 5 replies
- 542 views
I'm a relative newbie to win2k3 server and AD, so bear with me. I have 1 or 2 power users who like to stay logged in for long periods of time. What generally happens is that at some point they logoff/reboot and are then locked out. I have to then go to the server and unlock their account. I have searched technet for an answer to this, but the links/answers they had seemed aimed at password policy (using gpedit.msc) not domain policy. Nothing I've found so far addresses this particular issue. Any help would be appreciated. Tom -- Tom Zucker-Scharff Systems Administrator

Can't send mail externally from server

Hi everyone, I have a server running Windows 2003. I have set up the POP3 service according to this guide: http://www.ilopia.com/Articles/WindowsServer2003/EmailServer.aspx I've set up the mail server using my domain, configured the email server with the appropriate settings, added a mail box, and configured the smtp server. I then configured outlook express just so I can test the email is working correctly. I have enabled the setting "My server requires authentication" but I get this error: The message could not be sent because one of the recipients was rejected by the server. The rejected e-mail address was 'xx...@xxxx.co.nz'. Subject 'Test', Account: …

Searching the Directory for Shared Printers
by Guest James U- 0 replies
- 309 views
I tried to add network a printers to a workstation by clicking Start > Search > Find Printers and then clicked Find Now. In the past I got all the printers shared from each of my print servers. Now I am only getting shared network printers on workstations throughout the domain, not any on the print servers. All the printers are shared correctly on the servers and I can still map a printer by browsing the server (\\SERVERNAME) and selecting connect. Any idea why all the print server printers will not display? Any idea how to get them back? Thanks, James

Unable to run setup.exe on Storage Server 2003 R2
by Guest kc2kth@arrl.net- 1 reply
- 329 views
It appears that I am unable to install software on Windows Storage Server 2003 R2. Specifically I am trying to install the Exchange System Tools as we require the MAPI piece for a file management related service. Attempting to kick off the Exchange installation I receive the message: Windows cannot open this program since it has been disabled. >From searches I've deduced that Storage Server is based on 2003 Server Web Edition and this is a limitation (understandably) built into Web edition. However, this isn't a web server. This is a file server that I believe should behave more like one. Has anyone else run into this and, although I'm quite certain I k…

Removable Storage Service

I am using NT Backup for automated backup but for some reason the Removable Storage Service stops after a backup runs. Is there a way to schedule the starting of the Removable Storage Service via a scheduled batch file? I tried using the path for the executable (in properties for the Removable Storage Service) but it did not start the service. Thanks.

2003 server

I use a WinXPSP2 remote host to connect to my home office via a PPTP-VPN connection to a Win2003SP2 RRAS server that is behind my firewall. Both the server and remote host use a virtual WAN adapter, configured via the RRAS service, instead of separate physical adapters. Occasionally, once the connection is established, I cannot reliably access network resources via a UNC path (\\server\share). I receive a network path error. However, if I terminal in to the target server (also by name, not IP) via mstsc.exe (RDP 5.2), I can connect just fine. Must the RPC Locator service be running on the remote host to ensure UNC access reliability? -- JCB…

GRE 47 pass-through and VPN connection reliability
by Guest JCB- 2 replies
- 359 views
Is there any way to ensure reliable establishment of a PPTP VPN connection when (apparently) some I'net routers do not permit GRE packet passthrough? I have been unable to remote into my home office reliably - I frequently receive a "Verifying Username and Password..." message but do not connect . Once I do get in, I look at the System log on the RRAS box - it detected the connection attempts but warned that the problem was likely due to I'net blockage of GRE packets. I suspect I am successful, once the routers redefine the best path to my Public IP, but this is a somewhat random process via RIP or OSPF (i.e., the luck of the draw). I know people who…

Highly Available VPN server
by Guest LSI- 0 replies
- 301 views
I've been tasked with replacing our W2K RRAS-based VPN server, and rather than just do a simple hardware swap-out, I'd like to introduce high availability in whatever solution I use. This solution could be as simple as providing two different vpn servers, or as complex as a cluster/NLB solution, but I want it to be transparent to the end user. In other words, I want them to be able to double-click a single desktop icon to connect, rather than, "if this one doesn't connect, use the other one." Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

windows 2003 and windows vista
by Guest Greg- 0 replies
- 306 views
Hello all, I am not sure if I am posting in the correct forum, but we are experiencing an issue that just started yesterday. We have a windows 2003 server that is our print server and up until yesterday afternoon, clients that were running Vista were able to select a printer from the server and print to it - even though the Vista driver was not installed on it. Right now, when trying to print to the same print device on the print server, clients are getting an error that is telling them that they need to download the driver in order to connect. I know that this is a very basic question, but has anyone experinced this issue and if so, how was it resolved…

service stops and HKEY_USER hive disappears

I have a service to run an application. The service actually just uses srvany.exe to launch an application. Once it has done this the service stops leaving the application running. The service runs under a local userid. Normally, the service starts and a registry hive for the user is loaded under HKEY_USERS. When the service stops, the hive remains. One one machine, however, when the service stops the hive disappears. Does anyone know why?

Hi, I am trying to install a font on my server. When I attempt to install the font I recieve the following message. The 3OF9.TTF file is currently being used and cannot be replaced. Wait until Windows is finished using the file, and then try again. I have no applications on the machine. I got to the fonts folder where I am trying to copy the file and there is no 3OF9.TTF font in the folder. Any ideas? Thanks, Steve -- Steve Systems Administrator PSI
