I am upgrading a SBS 2003 server to SP 2 and all of the latest updates. After all of the updates, all of my network printers do not work. I receive the message after trying to print a test page: "Test Page Failed To Print". If I try printing from note pad I get a "Handle is invalid" error message. I tried installing the lastest drivers with no luck. Can anyone help trouble shoot this?

Cannot get clients or second DC to synch time with PDC Emulator.
by Guest Matthew Adkins- 1 reply

One of my customers has 2 Windows 2003 DCs and about 50 desktops running Windows XP Pro SP2. Both DCS had the time settings screwed up in the registry and in group policy and the desktops were not updating time except on bootup through a login script. I changed the group policy settings back to where an internet poist said they should be and then deregistered w32tm and re-registered the .dll in order to reset the registry settings in both DCs. I then added the external time synch info for the PDC and it instantly began pulling time on the PDC emulator. No matter what I try, though, I cannot get the other DC to synch time. AD and DNS are passing all tests …

WE had had a number of staff leave the company some of which had remote access to the server. their accounts have been deleted, but we are suspecting they may still have access to the server. they had a vpn connection to the server and possibly a remote desktop connection to run a specific database. I have to presume that cause the usename had been deleted there is no way they can get access unless they have the administrator password or another employees details If i do change the administrator password will this cause any other problems, we run std server 2003 and a seperate exchange 2003 server can i generate any reports from my server to sho…

cant manage DNS
by Guest James W. Long- 5 replies
- 399 views
Hi all I just went thru the nightmare of trying to install sp2 on win2k3 server and it didnt work, so I rolled it back. but evidently its not all rolled back. I cant administrate DNS anymore here is the error, when I click the DNS shortcut. MMC cannot open the file c:\windows\system32\dnsmgmt.msc. this may be because the file does not exist or is not an mmc console, or was created by a later version of MMC. this may also be because you do not have sufficient access rights to the file. Tthis is the only console I have found with this problem. I am the administrator. How do I get my DNS console back? Thank you, James W. Long

IIS Sites work Externally not Internally(localhost)
by Guest Brock Hensley- 0 replies
- 179 views
I've come across something interesting here.. None of the sites in IIS(v6 on 2k3server) work locally, ie: localhost (for default site) or any other domains/right-click-Browse.... comes up with: "This program cannot display the webpage.. You are not connected to the internet / website is encountering problems / might be typing error in address"... There are no entries in the log file for the site.. it seems to be a DNS issue but I am able to (on server) ping yahoo, nslookup the domain resolves to the correct IP (itself). I've checked Permissions on the folders and they look in order, as the sites are pulling up externally but not on the server itself, I…
