KeyUpdateTool for Windows 2003?
by Guest DaveB- 0 replies
- 205 views
Is there a version of the KeyUpdateTool (http://www.microsoft.com/genuine/selfhelp/PKUInstructions.aspx) that will work on Windows 2003 Server? This article (http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;Q328874) says that it applies to Windows 2003, but I'm not clear on how. We have some W2K3 servers that we are virtualizing, but since they were installed with the OEM product key, the new virtual machine asks for product activation when the hardware changes. We have a volume license that we can use, but we need to be able to change the key somehow without being too disruptive. Any ideas? Dave

Home folder issue in AD profile
by Guest steve grosz- 0 replies
- 200 views
Here's a weird issue, we're setting user home drives in ADUC as \\k2\home$\user.name For most people this is working fine, and shows up in XP as 'user.name on \k2\home$'. Now, I have one user who is having a issue. That location isn't getting mapped correctly. Their folder is there, but their computer just shows '\k2', no home$. We've removed the mapping from ADUC, and put it back in, let it confirm that the folder is there and tried again, same thing. Odd thing is, this seems to be happening on only 1 computer. If I use his profile info on another computer, it works fine! How can we fix this on his machine?

ntbackup missing tapes
by Guest Hector Cruz [H&PCS]- 0 replies
- 462 views
Hi, I have a Win2003 Small Business Server, and want to restore a set of 2 tapes with only the firts tape (the 2nd is missing). When I try to catalog the 1st tape, at the end appears a message telling me than insert the next tape. After I press "cancel" no catalog (partially) was restore. Does any one knows how to restore a partially catalog to recover some information from the tape? I think it could be possible becase in NT4, ntbackup has /missingtape switch that makes to read the catalog from the available tapes from the set. In Win2K Srv that switch does not exist, but works as is. (Document ID : 244805: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/244805/…

So here's an insanely, probably obvious to everyone BUT me, stupid question, BUT... Apart from being able to install and activate new templates, is there a method (e.g. help-about which DOESNT work btw), to indicate whether an installed Certificate Auth is either a standard or enterprise version? I realize the pico-second I post this, I'll figure it out, but I dont see a simple method... TIA, Chrisdo

VLAN Domain Controller Communications Issues
by Guest JT- 0 replies
- 153 views
I have 4 DCs, 2 on each VLAN. My default VLAN, VLAN 0, can communiicate with VLAN 1. VLAN 0 has higher security, so clients on VLAN 0 may initiate communication with VLAN 1, but VLAN1 clients cannot initate communication to VLAN 0. I have opened firewall ports that allow the DCs on both VLANS to communicate freely. The issue is, in the PIX log I see that DCs on VLAN 1 try to initiate communication with clients on Vlan 0. Of course this fails. Why do the DCs on VLAN 1 desire to communicate with clients on VLAN 0? I have the DNS for VLAN 0 clients pointed to the DCs on VLAN 0. It is a mystery to me why DCs on VLAN 1 desire to communicate with clie…

Office 2003 SP2 + Server 2003 + Server 2003 SP2 = Freeze?
by Guest thatotherguy- 0 replies
- 286 views
Hey all, Ive got a Terminal Server running Windows Server 2003 with Office 2003 SP2 running happy as larry, but a couple of months ago, I thought Id throw the SP2 for Server 2003 at it because, you know, Service Packs are supposed to be good things. A couple of days later, the server had it's first ever freeze. All user accounts started locking up (not all at the same time, sort of like dominos falling over) and while the server would still accept incoming RDP connections, it would freeze immediately after login, so we had to restarted the server (which is a pain becuase it's hosted off site). Being it's first ever crash, I didnt think much of it, th…

DFS Windows 2003/Windows 2008
by Guest lldan- 0 replies
- 150 views
We are planning on implementing DFS to our organization this year and next. We are currently using DFS now, but very limited. We want to expand this for userdata (Desktop/My Documents folder redirection) as well as some of our other shared folders. Our current environment is a Windows 2003 R2 domain with 5 Windows 2003 R2 DFS Namespace servers. In reading some of the limitations online I’m reading that if you use a domain-based namespace, which is how we are setup today, then we are limited to 5000 target folders. Our plan is to bring in Windows 2008 and slowly replace our file servers at which point we will enable DFS. We don’t have plans on upgradi…

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-= -= Capital Radio - Chris. Tarrant -= -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-= Capital Radio DJs have been "in on it" from the start. One. of the first things I heard in the summer of 1990 was from a Capital DJ. who said, "If he listens to Capital then. he can't be all bad" (supportive, you see. We're not bastards). Much of what came over the radio in 1990 is now so far. away the. precise details have been obliterated by time. No diary was kept of the details,. and although archives if they exist may give pointers, the ambiguity of what broadcasters said would leave. that open to re-interpretation.

Starting up a file server in my company. Boss wants to use Server 2003 Standard. We want each person to be able to log into any computer and only access their files. IE: Designers would see all design folders, but not Business data, Whereas, if the designer logged out of the computer and an Accountant logged in, the Accountant would see all the business data but none of the design data. I need this to work for MACs as well, Two running Tiger, and one running Leopard. Also, I know I need a CAL for each one accessing data off of the server, Will These CALs work with MACs? Any and all help will be appreciated, thanks!

First of all Hi to everyone out there those who are willing to help and then Hi to all those who are reading this :) Well ..I have 3 computers at my home, I've installed Windows 2003 Server on the first one and the rest two have Windows 2000 PRO.

clarification for VSS UseMicrosoftProvider setting
by Guest Hong- 0 replies
- 239 views
It is documented the DWORD entry "UseMicrosoftProvider=1" at the hive HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\BackupRestore\ will force Windows 2003 SP1's NTBackup to use the built-in Microsoft VSS Software provider, a useful exclusion test to see if third-party VSS Software provider is at fault 1. Does this also apply for XP SP2 platform? 2. Is the default "UseMicrosoftProvider=0" when there is no presence of this value, then a third-party VSS Software provider is used if present? 3. If there're more than one third-party VSS Software providers, how to select a specific non-Microsoft third-party VSS Software provider to be the default? 4. Can VS…
