Default Gateway setting changes after reboot
by Guest brent- 2 replies
- 260 views
Hello, I have a W2003 R2 server configured as DC, DNS & DHCP at a branch office. It is currently setup in a test lab and everything seems to be working fine. I have a VPN connection between the main office and the branch office. My problem is that when I reboot this server the gateway changes to the main office's gateway (192.168.1.1 versus 192.168.0.1). The IP is configured manually and I confirmed that the router is not configured as a DHCP server. I'm not sure what is causing the change (or why a change would happen since it is manually configured). Additional info: Main office- SBS 2003 R2 server IP=192.168.1.20 default gw= 192.168.1…

Hi guys This time I got a certified for windows server 2003 nic card. I plop in sp2 to my server and it will not talk to the world anymore. There is no connectoid in network. it disappeared. The driver for the card shows up as functioning in device manager. (the card worked perfectly before SP2 was loaded). The Network connections service hung starting. The Com+ event system hung starting. There are no endpoints. thus any service which requires them does not start. anything I attempt to start that depends on having endpoints or which depends on another service which needs them does not start. all services would have started normally if whatever made the…

I have a teacher folder student files folder student folders The objective was to give the teacher access to their student folders to review and modify documents. The students can only see folders that they create in the student files folder. This setup works great until the teacher opens a file created by the student. At that point the students ACL disappears from the file and they can no longer see their files. In my ACL's for student files: Teacher can read write not inherited Creator has full permission not inherited Student has read only this folder not inherited Yet when students create their folder the r…

Group Policy not getting pushed to some clients
by Guest Joel- 0 replies

Hi, I've actually got another post over in the Updates section but wasn't getting any hits so I thought I'd try here. So sorry abou the cross post, but I'm really hoping someone can help. We're running WSUS on win2k Server with Win2k Pro clients. Some of the clients are no longer getting the updates from the WSUS server. I've noticed that the culprit appears to be group policy as it is not getting pushed to these misbehaving clients.. I'm not sure how to fix this. The default domain group policy has the correct location configured: http://ServerName but the when I look in the registry on the client it is missing the "http:" and only has //ServerNam…

Idea is to check DC and DNS settings and use basic tools to get global info…

suptools.msi install failure
by Guest SnowCritter- 0 replies

I'm attempting to install the Support Tools for Windows Server 2003 R2 from the CD. The installer launches OK but, in the end, I receive a "failure" message. I am attempting this while logged-in as the Administrator. The failure is noted in the event log (11780), but following the link only yields a message that says, in essense, "Sorry, but we haven't any information about that". Can anyone provide some insight? Thanks in advance.

Script Needed to Change Ownership on User Home Directories
by Guest Scott- 7 replies
- 494 views
To prepare for implementing disk quotas on an R2 file server with 300 user home directories--most of which are currently owned by domain administrators, I am seeking a script which will change ownership on each of the user home directories (named as username) and all contents within each home directory back to each individual user . This is because of my understanding that disk quotas are based upon file ownership. I understand that subinacl is the tool to use, but I am not certain about the syntax. Ideally the script would iteratively read each directory, determine the username from the directory name and then apply the ownership without otherwise changin…

Modify Default Ownership on New User Home Directory Folders
by Guest Scott- 0 replies
- 185 views
I've noted that the default ownership on new user home directories on our Server 2003 file servers is domain administrators. On W2k server the default ownership is the local server administrators group. However, I want to modify the default behavior so that when new users are created, the default ownership is with the new user. The reason for this is that we want to establish disk quotas and disk quotas, I understand, are based upon file/folder ownership. If the users don't own the content of their home directories, they won't get charged against their disk quota, or so I've read. How can I modify the default ownership and are there any factors I am miss…

Hi, I am trying to install a printer on a x64 Windows 2003 server to be shared with XP clients. Problem is there is only a 32 bit driver for it. I managed to add the 32 bit driver to the 64 bit server by using print management on a 32 bit server as an intermediate but I can't figure out (if it's even possible) how to add the printer to the 64 bit print server. Can it be done if there's no 64 bit driver? TIA --

Adding a security group to permissions
by Guest Gis Bun- 2 replies
- 259 views
Hi. I remember it's possible in a command line utility to add a security group (not replace) the permissions for a folder and various sub-folders where those sub-folders have unique permissions. Example: I want to add the security group "MIS" with read & execute permissions on a folder called Home where inside home you have a folder for George where George has permissions (but no one else except domain admins and the usuals), for Janice where Janice has permissions (but no one else except domain admins and the usuals), .... I want to *add* MIS to each folder. Assume the domain called BUYME. Thanks Gis
