    Hi Does anyone know a good network monitoring software to check for server and network downtime and send reports? I know you'll say use MOM but I would like some 3rd party software like GFI Network Server Monitor which is great, but it misses a critical functionality for us that is the usage of GSM/mobile devices to send alerts via USB connected mobile device . It is limited to COM connection only, but we need to have USB connection. Any ideas? Regards,Miha

    I found kb940349 as the latest Volume Shadow Copy Service - is there any builds that are newer than this. I am having major troubles with Symantec BackupExec 11D and they are pointing to the problem being the volume Shadow Copy service. Thanks in advance, Eric Sabo

    Server 2003 mapped drive disconnects from SAN

    by Guest The_Nite_Owl

    • 209 views

    We have a Windows 2003 SP2 server with mapped drives to another 2003 server with SAN shared drives. The mapped drives periodically disconnect from the shares and cannot be reconnected without either rebooting the server then clicking the drive and entering the credentials, or deleting the mappings then re-creating them and entering the credentials. The mappings in question are established using credentials other than those of the current logon. I know that Server 2003 SP1+ no longer caches credentials when you map using a different user name. I suspect that when the connection is first established and the credentials passed, the SAN server is setting…

    Server 2003 Logs in and then immediately out

    by Guest Chris M

    Hello all, This is more of an annoyance than a real problem: I have a standalone Windows 2003 Server (not on a domain). I typically log into it using a standard user, and only use a user with Admin rights when I need it. Occasionally when logging in, the login process will begin and then immediately log me back out. Logging in again will complete successfully. - This only seems to happen with a normal user account. The admin account works fine all the time. - It seems to occur just after a reboot when logging in for the first time. - When it does happen, it only happens once. Logging in a second time will always work. - It doesn't …

    We have been asked that we need to install a Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service (RADIUS) Server for an wireless. We are wondering where would be a good place to start to find out what server this needs to go on and how to configure this server. Any information would be helpful. Sorry in advance for the cross-post. Thanks, Eric Sabo

    Print Management - Deployed Printers

    by Guest Bob

    • 249 views

    Hi, I just started to use 2003 R2 Print Management - Deployed Printers and some users say it works and others don't. I suspect the reason is because I don't understand how it works. I'm using this because I now have Vista machines coming in and I still can not find how to get Vista to search the servers directory for printers. All Vista does is search either local or network, but not the directory? With XP, I could easily search the directory, but not Vista! (If someone knows how this is done, please let me know). Anyway, in lieu of my Vista problem, I decided to push the servers network printer on to all the computers (not users), Vista and XP alik…

    Hi guys, Some users have an inconsistent "access denied" error message popping up when they logon. I have done the following: 1) under user logon, acess sysvol and run the script manually. it works, which means user permission is fine. 2) checked time service and it is working fine. I have the script below: Set WshNetwork = Wscript.CreateObject("WScript.Network") Set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell") Set FileSysObj = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") userName = WshNetwork.UserName ' Map drives if FileSysObj.DriveExists("y:") = true then wshNetwork.RemoveNetworkDrive "y:" if FileSysObj.DriveExists("g:") = true then …

    Server 2008: UAC woes in Fax and Scan: "unable to access"

    by Guest Tech_vs_Life
    • 0 replies
    • 189 views

    I'm unable to use "Windows Fax and Scan" on Windows 2008 to send a fax from it locally. I get what seem to be UAC permission issues all over the place. It works fine, however, if I elevate it first ('run as administrator'), but that does no good since I can't do that from code (i.e. auto elevate). 1. Is there way to solve this problem, by setting the right permissions somewhere? 2. Are there other similar problems in Windows 2008, such that I should turn off UAC? Thanks.

    ntbackup compression

    by Guest Bill H

    I have a couple of ntbackup scripts written to automate the backup process. The main script (a .bat file) pauses a dbms, runs ntbackup, compresses the 4.5Gb backup file to 500MB, SFTPs the file to another server within our network, and emails me the results. This all works fine. It takes about 11 minutes to create a 4.5Gb backup file, which is ok, but it also takes about 40 minutes to compress this file, with WinRAR, down to 600Mb. In Linux I'd be able to pipe the backup through compression software so the compression happens at the same time as the backup and is just as fast as the "tar". I've been looking for some kind of reasonably priced backu…

    Hi all I have small business server 2003 sp1. When going in to network neighbour hood I can't see any pc's in the network not even the server is showing. When you do the same from a pc you cant see the server but can see all the pc's. AD seems to be set up correctly along with DNS and all pc's are xp sp2 and the domain the dns set as the server. Also checked the computer browser in case this had stopped. Can anyone give me some ideas why this is happening Cheers Glenn

    Calendar

    my system shuts down by itself about once per day and reboots with some DOS prompts. The error is that the calendar has changed to 1/1/2002. The fix is to manually adjust the calendar to current date/ time. But this is getting old. I tried a system restore to an earlier date, but I get a message that system restore was not completed. The retsore points are there and I have tried this with several dates, to no avail. Windows XP Media. Thank you for any insight
