Win2k3 Server - POP3 service - MIME encoding for email attachments
by Guest Sam Robins- 0 replies
- 413 views
I'm using standard POP3 service to receive emails and having a weird problem. The service ignores (does not receive) any messages with binary attachments even though the sender receives confirmation receipt which states that massage was relayed successfully and I have no problem to receive emails with text attachments. I spend a whole day googling the subject and still can’t understand what’s happening. The question: is Win2k3 POP3 service supports MIME encoding for email attachments? And if it does then what setting could cause the service to ignore messages with binary attachments?

Account Operator Cant Change/Reset Passwords?
by Guest JT- 2 replies
- 517 views
I have two users who are configured as account operators. It appears that they cannot change or reset passwords on all AD accounts. There are some accounts they get an access denied message on. I am trying to understand what would cause this. I was under the impression account operators can reset and change passwords and unlock accounts on all accounts except system and administrator accounts (domain admin, enterprise admin, etc). It appears this way when they try and reset their own account as well through ADUC.

Using VSS on 64-bit W2K8 from a 32-bit application
by Guest wn123456@gmail.com- 0 replies

Hi, We have a 32bit application using the Volume Shadow Copy API on 64-bit W2K8 (Longhorn beta3 is installed). Our 32-bit application is using the Windows 2003 VSS API library. There is no problem doing this with 32-bit W2K8, the problem is only with 64-bit. When InitializeForBackup() is called it is returning 0x8000ffff (E_UNEXPECTED). The event log contains: Volume Shadow Copy Service error: The VSS Coordinator class is not registered. This may be caused due to a setup failure or as a result of an application's installer or uninstaller. and "Volume Shadow Copy Service error: Unexpected error calling routine CoCreateInstance. hr = 0x80040154.

Cannot install R2
by Guest Thomas Hacker- 1 reply

Hi, I upgrade many servers "2003 SP2 standard" to "2003 SP2 R2 standard" - without any problem. A handfull of machines failes with an error "An Application is running - Reboot before install" (free translated from German). The reboot did not repair this problem. I stop many services and tasks but the problem is the same. Strangely is the fact all machines use same configuration (hardware, software like SMS and RIS/WDS). Which application cancel the installation of R2? Is there a list of applications wich setup2.exe checks before continue? Thx, TH PS: The server configuration page is closed (hta)

Sysvol not replicating, AD not failing over
by Guest swobopio- 3 replies
- 553 views
I have put in a new Domain Controller (newDC) into our network but are having problems with the old Domain Controller (oldDC) replicating sysvol to newDC. The ultimate goal that I'm trying to achieve here is to be able to shut down oldDC and have newDC take over (eventually having oldDC only as a backup). As of right now, the issue lies when I shut down oldDC I start to run into problems with the active directory (such as not being able to edit any users info, it just hangs for a few seconds as if it's still trying to talk to oldDC). ---------------------- Event Viewer Logs: ---------------------- On newDC, I only get two errors (but I think the probl…

newbie question
by Guest Fitz- 5 replies
- 688 views
I am just learning about server 2003, and have a few questions that don't seem to be addressed in books. 1. When do I need to have the server in a domain and not a workgroup. I only need to network 5 computers and was told that using a workgroup is much easier. 2. If I use a workgroup and not a domain or active directory, then do I need to install DNS. 3. Why or when would I want or need to go more advance and use a domain, AD and DNS? Thanks, Fitz

Is 100k Handles too Much?
by Guest Computer Guru- 2 replies
- 540 views
My Windows Server 2003 SP2 server (IIS 6, MySQL, Tomcat, PostgreSQL, PHP via FastCGI) runs at a constant 90k-105k handles. The Limit is set at 2492408. I think there is something wrong since that's an insanely high count - but the server remains fast and stable, so I'm not sure. It's an x86, with 1GB of RAM (generally around 3/4ths is used). Is there something wrong or is this perfectly OK?

This weekend I installed Windows server 2003 on a clean machine with no other data on the drives. After the installation I turned on the external firewire drive I plan to use for backups and allowed the drivers to install normally. Over the last few days I've had some problems with the external drive and my backup software and went to format the drive to try to start over. It was at this point that I noticed under the Disk Manager that while my internal C: is listed as (Boot), the external E: is shown as (System). Well no wonder I can't format it... How did my external drive wind up as the system volume, and how can I move this back to C: where it belong…

Hello all: I know that with Windows Server 2003 you can simply add additional architectures to install 64-bit printer drivers when you have a 32-bit server system and 64-bit clients. However, is there a way to do this with Windows 2000 Server? There is not selection available for WinXP 64-bit. Thanks, John
