Windows 2003 Print Server Printer Driver Change
by Guest TuxEdu- 0 replies
- 182 views
Hi, I recently have had an issue with Dell 1710n. They won't print, you cant send a job to them to print. It turns out that the driver needs to be changed from 1710n to 1710n PS3. This is on a windows 2003 R2 Print server. So no big deal except there are alot of these printers. I was wondering if any one know of a way to automate changing the driver from 1710n to 1710n PS3. I have googled VBscripts and windows command line tools and have found nothing. If anyone has anything that might help it would be much appriciated. Thank you.

DEP Issue in Win2K3 -- All options greyed out.
by Guest Noctaire- 2 replies
- 232 views
Ok, this one has me scratching my head a bit so I figured I'd see if anyone here (maybe an MVP?) had an idea. Win2K3 Ent box, not sure offhand what patch level. Going into the options for DEP (System Properties/Advanced/Performance Options/Data Execution Prevention tab) I find EVERYTHING is greyed out. Thing is, DEP is NOT disabled on the box though. Looking in the boot.ini, the box has /NoExecute=OptOut. I'm logging in with administrator rights, other boxes in the enterprise are configurable here but not this one. Any suggestions where to look?

questions about 2008 rc1
by Guest Art Cube- 1 reply

I am not certain this is the place to ask but the server.prerelease news group does not seem to have a lot of activity. I am running a dual xeon cloverton quad core using Svr2008 rc1 32 bit x86 with 8gb ram and am seeing some hiccups at times. Whole server stops for a while even loosing some connections as I mostly remote desktop into it. Also, sound is not available on remote desktop - will this be fixed? Also screen is only 16bit color in remote desktop will this be fixed? No Media Center install Server 2008 as well, will this be fixed? or is this not going to be available due to fear. I am running this in parallel with a dual xeon which uses svr…

Hi all I need to install a new server. This server will be used by around 50 people (30 on site and 20 remotely) The 30 people on site will be connecting to sql via 3rd party application installed on their own pc's and will not be using the server to login. The 20 remote users need to connect to the 3rd party application via RDP(to be run on the server) and the application will connect to sql which will also be installed on the box. Can anyone suggest what sort of spec machine would be good to run 2003 especially with around 20 rdp users Cheers

Open access to share via VPN
by Guest Joe- 3 replies
- 307 views
I have remote VPN users that I want to be able to map a drive to a UNC share on a Win2K3 server. The VPN connection uses IAS for authentication with AD. I have created a share and setup read access for 'domain users' and 'anonymous'. However, users are still prompted for domain credentials in order to map the drive. Can anyone tell me how to eliminate the login prompt? Thanks, Joe

Very strange conflict
by Guest Wiedmer- 1 reply
- 209 views
All, I have a twilight zone-kind of a conflict and I'm looking for ideas to try and solve the problem. I use Windows Server to connect to my business computer from home. Windows XP on both sides, obviously. I connect to my VPN, then log on to my computer, usually without problems. Sometimes, when a very large file is open on my business computer (a large ppt, for example), my home computer simply shuts down as soon as the application shows up on my home screen. This happens a few times in a row. I actually get someone in my office to close the large file, or restart my computer in the office, to then be able to log on by VPN. Any thoughts about this?

I am trying to apply SP1 for EXchange 2007. The server is a x64 WIn 2003 R2 box, fully patched. I get an error during the initial phase saying the DTC service must be started.

I can also see the this error message Application popup: MSDTC.EXE - Entry Point Not Found : The procedure entry point MtxCluGetDtcRegValue could not be located in the dynamic link library MTXCLU.DLL. Anyone have any ideas of how to fix this?

Laptop not NTFS before being added to domain
by Guest Laphan- 3 replies
- 266 views
Hi All I support a number of schools and we have just installed a Win2k3 server with AD infrastructure at one of them. Everything was fine apart from one thing, added a laptop to the domain and then realised that even though the laptop was running WinXP Professional SP2, the file structure of the HD is FAT32 and not NTFS. I know that I need to do the convert command to change the HD from FAT32 to NTFS, but is there any adverse affects adding the laptop to the domain before the conversion? Should I put the laptop back to a workgroup and then re-add it to the domain after conversion? Thanks

i just installed this service pack 2 for win2k3 r2 and i don't know if this is the reason or something else but i now have this strange playback problem on windows media player 10 (which is also weird, cause i thought sp2 installed wmp 11). i am trying to view a microsoft webcast (.mwv file) and it sound HORRIBLE (like its in a tunnel, echoing, etc.). any ideas? also, i tried uninstalling sp2 but it keeps saying it can't find a file (event log shows error id=4375 spmsg.dll). i also tried reinstalling and it succeeded but still wmv playback problems and uninstall does not work. anyway to 'force' an sp2 uninstall with some little known utility? thanks gro…
