trying to install software on terminal server security settings
by Guest icccapital- 0 replies
- 387 views
We have purchased software and are trying to get it running on our terminal server for remote use. It runs fine under the administrator login but we are having trouble with other user logins. The software has some settings that they say need to be set, one of which is the local policy in "User Rights Assignment". I added the user to this policy under the properties of the computer in the AD under the gpo, but to no success. So I then started gpedit.msc, but in here the security settings|local policy|User Rights Assignment has a lock next to it and I can't change the same policy setting to include this user. I guess I am trying to figure out which p…

Drive 0 in mirror failed

Hello folks. Hope everyone is well. We are running win2003 standard SP1 with 2 x 36gb SCSI dynamic mirrored disks. Both the system C: and data D: paritions are mirrored over both disks, which was done using the disk management mmc. The primary drive, Drive 0 has now failed. (online,errors is the status but the system wont boot to it) We are having to boot to the "secondary plex" option from the startup menu. Can anyone tell me the procedure to use in order to replace the failed primary drive? If it was the mirrored disk I would just break the mirror and replace the drive but I have a feeling it's more complex than that as it's drive 0 thats failed. an…

Terminal Services allows access, But not allowed at Console.
by Guest AndyH- 0 replies
- 358 views
I can open a terminal services session to a Windows Server 2003. Then from that session I can log into the file system on another Server 2000. No problem. However if I use the console of the Server 2003 directly, and attempt to log into the Server 2000 it fails with invalid login attempt. Both theses servers are on the same domain, and report to a third Server 2003 as the domain controller / active directory. Any idea why access is authenticated through terminal services, but blocked when direct access is attempted? Regards, Andyh

A server at a customers site slows down a couple of times a day. (Windows 2003 sp2 -sp2 installed hoping to resolve the problem, so the problem already exists when only sp1 was installed-) in the beginning of this problem I noticed the following error message in the servers logfile: _______________________ Windows saved user DOMEIN\user registry while an application or service was still using the registry during log off. The memory used by the user's registry has not been freed. The registry will be unloaded when it is no longer in use. This is often caused by services running as a user account, try configuring the services to run in either the L…

Disk requirements of next version of Windows Server

Any idea how big the next version of Windows Server is going to be, so newly installed boot partitions can accommodate an upgrade later? (I'm thinking about a partition without a pagefile.) -- Reply in group, but if emailing add another zero, and remove the last word.

I am trying to work around a temporary situation on a Windows 2003 server where group policy was misapplied. NETWORK SERVICE and LOCAL SERVICE accounts no longer have impersonate privileges and start service privilege so I need to temporarily start up services in security context of SYSTEM, get group policy working, then patch up services to run in their original contexts. I have done this before we success, but this time I'm thrown for a loop by DNS Client service, which is not able to start in NETWORK SERVICE security context. In the registry location: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Dnscache there are two values: I…

Problem with services not starting on reboot
by Guest Burleyman- 5 replies
- 580 views
I have a few services COM+ System Application,Task Scheduler, and Distributed Transaction Coordinator, that I have set to Automatic but when the server gets reboot they reset themselves to disabled. I can then manually change them back to automatic and then start them and the work fine but then when I reboot the server back they go. Nothing in the event logs that point to anything to check. Has anyone had this happen? Where should I begin? This seems to have started after upgrading Sharepoint to SP2. -- Thank you, Burleyman Have a great day!

tcpsvcs.exe taking all my memory!
by Guest Sandy Wood- 2 replies
- 456 views
I've noticed lately that my Windows 2003 R2 DHCP server is showing evidence of tcpsvcs.exe sucking up too much memory. This morning I started getting MOM alerts that there was excess memory consumption from tcpsvcs so I killed the process (it was using 650 meg of ram) and it started again at about 10 meg. It's currently at about 25 meg. MOM is detecting that it's using too much ram and sending me alerts. Does anyone have any idea on this one? I've seen other posts in this forum with similar issues but no resolutions. -- Sandy Wood Orange County District Attorney

About 4 days ago I noticed an error message in my Application Event log from Sharepoint Services that there was not enough free space available and the tracing service has temporarily stopped outputting trace messages to the log file. I found the log files at C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\12\Logs. At this location there are lots of logs 30 - 40 meg. each. They all contain the same message, '07/10/2007 08:18:14.98 OWSTIMER.EXE (0x0AD4) 0x0AFC Windows SharePoint Services Timer 5uuf Monitorable The previous instance of the timer job 'Config Refresh', id '{CBECAB1F-4C74…

Seemingly Random Frequent Reboots
by Guest Jason- 0 replies
- 410 views
I have two servers that just began rebooting on a seemingly random basis (for about 2 days now). Sometimes it will happen within 15 mins of being booted up, other times it might be 6 hours between reboots. It does so without any warning, and no error messages. The only thing remaining afterwards that indicates the event is the presence of the standard event in the event log indicating an unscheduled shutdown. For example: (Source: EventLog, ID: 6008) "The previous system shutdown at 4:11:43 PM on 7/10/2007 was unexpected." I looked around in event viewer for different errors happening just before that time that might be related, but there are none...…

SFN 5.03 File Migration Utility Reports Forest Unavailable
by Guest Peter- 3 replies
- 489 views
I am attempting to perform a migration from a Novell Netware 6 environment to Windows Server 2003 R2 using Microsoft Services For Netware(SFN) 5.03 SP2. The Windows servers have the latest patches and SFN is running on a domain controller with Novell Client for Windows 4.91 SP3. The Microsoft Directory Synchronization Service(MSDSS) installed properly, migrated Netware accounts to Active Directory(AD) OUs and continues one-way synchronization without issue. When attempting to use the File Migration Utility(FMU) to transfer files and permissions from Netware to a Windows 2003 server, the FMU indicates that the forest is "unavailable" in the Active Directory t…

Lets say you have a shortcut which points to an old document that was on an old server which doesnt exist... If you do certain things, like try to use the start menu.. it will sit there cranking for about 60 seconds or so. Is there somewhere in GPO either server or client that this "network timeout" value could be reduced? I'm not even sure what entry or option this would be... Anyone ever done this before? Thanks

I've been contemplating moving our 2003 "backup services" off of a 7 year old box and onto another machine, to retire that one.. I was either going to move them to a primarily file server (with some VSS database usage, 2GB memory) or our "backup" server, by backup in this instance I am talking about our server which does harddisk backups each night and also does a duplicate to tape via the scsi port on this machine. (uses Symantec BackupExec, has 4gb memory). Our "backup-hdd server" is a dual xeon woodcrest cpu while the other file server is a PentiumD. Of the services which I had on the very old box include a "backup" DC (another DC), with global catalog…

White List for Internet Access
by Guest Steve Freides- 3 replies
- 491 views
I have a client that is considering moving from a Novell environment to a Windows-server environment. One of the concerns is that we have a product we're using on the Novell side that provides "white list" web access functionality - users can only visit approved site, and the sites are maintained in text files on the server. Access is by groups, e.g., group A can visit all the sites listed in texfileA.txt, group B can visit al the sites listed in textfileA plus those in textfileB, and so on. I'd appreciate knowing about products that offer this functionality in a Windows environment. The client currently has SBS-2003 but will probably get all new s…
