Windows 2008 in Existing Domain - Rqmts??
by Guest Diane- 9 replies
- 422 views
We are looking at putting in Exchange 2007 on a Windows Standard 2008 box. The existing environment is a Win2k domain with some Win2003 servers. We know the environment needs to be upgraded, however, I have had no luck finding the requirements for putting a 2008 box in an existing domain. Most information I found discusses deployment in a new 2008 domain. I have found the requirements for exchange in an existing domain. Can anyone point me to resources with information on 2008? I called MS pre-sales after much searching myself and all they could offer is they thought the domain had to be 2008. Can someone confirm if this is the case or, if it…

Hello: Other than taking the steps below, is there anything else that needs to be done to allow for remote users to connect to Windows Server 2003 through Remote Desktop Connection in a "non-Terminal Services" environment? 1. Click Start, click Control Panel, and then click System. 2. Click the Remote tab, click to select the Allow users to connect remotely to your computer check box, and then click OK. Thanks!

Changing client TCP/IP settings remotely.
by Guest MT- 3 replies

Unfortunately, the environment I work in does not use DHCP. I need to change the primary dns server for all my desktops and servers. Is there a safe and simple way to do this without actually going to each machine? I'm sure there are some complicated scripts and I don't want to use Group Policy either. Any tools or tricks to make this happen? Thank you.

Xcopy not working in startup script
by Guest Slingshotz- 10 replies
- 713 views
This is driving me nuts and I have not been able to find any answers on any user group. This is a basic batch file script that I am deploying through group policy in the startup script to copy templates from the server to the local machine. I'm deploying it during the startup so that every computer gets it, regardless of who logs in. ========================= if NOT exist "C:\Templates" md "C:\Templates" pushd "\\servername\Templates\" xcopy *.dot C:\Templates /Y /D popd ========================= The script works perfectly when run by itself, but during the startup script when a computer starts up it keeps saying that *.dot is not found. =======…

Install Printer Win Server 2003
by Guest Laura- 2 replies

Hi: I'm trying to install a printer, on Windows Server 2003, for a user wich belongs to "Remote Desktop User" group. I run this command: rundll32 printui.dll PrintUIEntry /if /f %windir%\inf\ntprint.inf /r "IP_192.49.9.89" /m "HP LaserJet 2100" The TCP/IP port is not installed before I run this command, because, if I add the port with Admin account the port is going to be accessible to all profiles of the others users A message appears "Operations could not be completed", then the printer is not added. The final goal, is to install on the user profile a printer that will be accessed by a TCP/IP address.

Access Control on listening ports
by Guest requeth@gmail.com- 0 replies
- 193 views
I have a few servers that have ports open and listening for data, but I've found some security vulnerabilities with leaving them open. The ports are needed to talk between several known servers. Does anyone know a way to make it so only the servers that need to talk to each other can access the open port, any other server/machine that tries to hit the port gets server refused or something of that nature? I could have it done with a lot of firewall rules on my routers, but I really want this taken care of on the servers rather then through the routers. Ideas oh smart admins?

- 333 views
We have several x32 2008 std servers that we are testing with. They belong to the domain and the local administrators group contains the domain admins group. We are moving an app from a 2003 server to a 2008 server. When trying to install a custom service, we get an access denied error with a domain admin account. The only account that will create the service is the local admin. Is there a way to give the domain admins the same privilages as the local admin account? Thanks, Brian

However AIUI, it is necessary for the "Allow inheritable permissions.." checkbox to remain ticked on the Advanced tab under the user's security settings for these permissions to stay in place. For some reason, one user in particular keeps…
