tcpsvcs.exe (DHCP) hogging memory on DC
by Guest Newell White- 0 replies
- 170 views
We have 2 Win2k3 servers with SP2 both running DHCP server. There are 40 clients on the LAN, and max of 6 VPN users. I noticed this morning that the PDC emulator put out an error message saying it was short of Virtual Memory. tcpsvcs.exe was using 260Mbyte of RAM (on a 1Gbyte server). I had to do a restart to install latest updates, after which usage fell to 16Mbyte. Is this an issue with anyone else? -- Newell White

An odd question I know, but I have a lot of remote sites who are not domain connected and are in workgroups. These will soon be connected to head office using VPN for remote admin purposes. Is there any way on the workgroup PC I can add a security group from the head office domain into the local admin group on the workgroup PCs, so the select users can authenticate against the workgroup PC when logged onto their domain-based head office PC?

Server 2003 R2 takes 20 min to boot.
by Guest quantum- 5 replies

Over the past few days I have added a few more DC's to our domain and one of them is acting pretty funny. It's windows server 2003 R2; it booted fine while it was being configured and when it was first promoted to a DC and DNS (AD intergrated) was installed. Then litteraly over night it will now hang first on "prepairing network connections" for a few minutes and then on "Applying computer settings" for at least 10min. When the system finally boots it acts and works fine, there are no errors in the logs (except for those pretaining to missing AD replication). I've searched and the only thing I could find was in reference to Powerchute, but that is not inst…

Phantom file permission problem
by Guest Chris Hills- 3 replies
- 308 views
Hi Due to an administrative error, a permission was set on all the folders in a directory. The operation was stopped before it was completed. There are a now a number of folders which contain the permission, which are inherited from the "Parent Object". The permission however does not exist on the parent object. The only way I have found to fix it is to go through each affected folder with the following procedure: 1. Open the folder properties 2. Go to the Security tab 3. Open the advanced properties window 4. Untick "Allow inheritable permissions..." 5. Click "Remove" 6. Tick "Allow inheritable permissions..." 7. Click OK This removes the phantom perm…

Server will not Shutdown but only Restart
by Guest Luis Fajner- 9 replies
- 558 views
I'm building a new Windows 2003 Server Enterprise Edition (32 Bit) on a Dell PowerEdge 2900. Right after I installed the OS, I can Shut the Server down without any problems. But, after I installed Service Pack 1 and Service Pack 2 the Shutdown option will not Shut down but only Restart. Hardware and Software are brand new ones. I wipped every thing three times and started over again, having the same symptom. I didn't install any application yet. I only have the OS. The Event Viewer is clean, not even a yellow entry. Can somebody help me to find a solution? I couldn't find any article regarding this problem. Thank you, Luis

I followed the directions to set up the time synch on my PDC (windows 2003 server xp2). When I came in the morning two of my servers had the following warning messages Source: W32time | Event ID: 50 | Description: | The time service detected a time difference of greater than 5000 | milliseconds for 900 seconds.

Disk Quotas Windows Server R2
by Guest Scott- 2 replies
- 255 views
Is it accurate to state that unlike W2k and W2k3 where disk quotas could only be applied to user directories on a volume basis, R2 offers the ability to apply disk quotas on a folder level so that different quota limits could be applied to different users on the same volume? If so, where are the implementation details of that documented? Thnx.

Win2k3 SP2 server
by Guest NuBee- 1 reply
- 223 views
I have a smal business network with a domain, running DNS, AD, DC, IIS6.0, etc. I'm a little confused. When a user logs on to the domain (network) from a work station, they have access to the NETLOGON and SYSVOL folders on the server/DC. Is this supposed to be correct??? Why would a user at a work station have access to these two folders on the server/DC??? -- NuBee
