OLE/COM server registration on Win 2003 SP2
by Guest Russell3- 0 replies
- 161 views
I a have a program which provides COM/OLE sevices. It registers its COM Interfaces on first running. This registration works in all MS operating systems used to date: Win9x, Win 2000, XP, Vista (after logging on as the real admin) and in Win 2003 (with no SPs or SP1). When trying to register the program in Win 2003 SP2 using any registration method, the registration is partial. Many, perhaps all interfaces are placed in the registry but the program does not provide the COM services. The methods of registration tried are: 1. Run the program. It runs and no errors are given on loading. 2. myprogram.exe /regserver All give partial registration. The progr…

All, I ran a SYSTEMINFO command on a remote server and received something strange. Take a look at the "Page File: In Use:". Has anyone seen this before? Anyone know the cause or the proper fix? I noticed that the BIOS is a year old and will be checking to see if there is an update available from Dell on the next maintenance window. Any other thoughts though? BIOS Version: Dell Computer Corporation A06, 10/3/2006 Windows Directory: C:\WINDOWS System Directory: C:\WINDOWS\system32 Boot Device: \Device\HarddiskVolume2 System Locale: en-us;English (United States) Input Locale: en-us;Eng…

When I reboot a newly purchased server i get error message 5719. I think the netlog service is starting before the NIC cards fully initialize and start. Once the server is running everything is fine. (i aslo get a message no valid time source available)......How can i slow down the netlogon service so that the network is active before the server tries to talk to AD?

I already have a 2003 R2 server which is the primary domain controller. I tried to add a secondary DC in the same domain and got an error during the dcpromo process. This secondary server was a non-r2 standard 2003 server. Do all subsequent DCs have to be R2 servers? Thanks for any info. Chad

HELP! My Icons Don't Work - File Permission Issue
by Guest KWME- 3 replies
- 288 views
I was working on my server this afternoon trying to get a printer to work on Terminal Services. I must have changed something, and I can't remember what. When users log-on to the terminal server they get the following message when clicking on almost all of the icons on the desktop and start menu "Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item." I've checked and rechecked the share permissions and can't find a problem. I rebuilt the mandatory profile. I've checked the group policy and can't find a problem. I'm at wits end. Please help

I have a Windows 2003 server that I am trying to run an executable file on from a network share but keep getting an error that the network path is not available or incorrect permissions. I am logged in as a domain admin. Strangely enough if I log on locally to the pc (not the domain) and connect to the network share, supplying username and password of domain admin when accessing share, I can run the executable. I noticed that the security settings for Internet are set to High and I cannot change this setting as there is no other option (ie medium high, medium, low, etc.) however the setting is the same when I log in locally and on the domain. I alread…

Only administrators can remotely access machine
by Guest angst911- 0 replies
- 162 views
We have a cluster running Enterprise r2 x64 server w. SQL 2005, the other night both servers in the cluster rebooted (not sure if that is relevant or not), and now only administrators can connect to the server via \\cluster or via SQL connections. We can not figure out what caused this other than the application log having filled up, we cleared it, and the problem persisted still, we ended up recovering the servers from a backup which resolved the problem, but I would apreciate any comments on thoughts of what could have caused the strange behavior.

Some of my users at a remote site get a Warning triangle and the following message “offline files [\\server01\mydocs on server01]: unable to make svdsdhghgddd fff.MDB available offline on \\server01\mydocs\jimbond\my documents\filing cabinet\careers. Files of this type cannot be made available offline.” The network manager has left and i now have to try and fix this problem. The users said they didn’t get the message before the server rebooted after a power cut. Unfortunately there was no ups on the server. The server is at a remote site it runs 2003 r2. If anyone can give me some suggestions i would be thankful. Ric_99

extremely long logon time for one particular user
by Guest Alan Truism- 9 replies
- 569 views
I have a problem with one particular user, in which whenever he tries to logon it takes around 20 minutes for the computer to complete the logon state. This seems to carry over to whatever workstation that particular user is using. If anyone else logs on to their workstation it takes the normal amount of time. It seems to hang quite a long time on the "applying personal settings" part of the logon process. Then I get the following errors in the event log for that particular workstation. - == Event Type: Error Event Source: Userenv Event Category: None Event ID: 1030 Date: 11/1/2007 Time: 11:14:35 AM User: domain-corp\fred Computer: CORP-CF-SPAR…

Hey guys, I've got an odd error I am experiencing on a Windows Server 2003 server. The problem only occurs under my own account. I am a Domain Admin. As any other Administrator or Domain Admin account I do not experience this error. The error always has the code 2203 and is similar to: Error 2203. An internal error has occurred. (M:\WINDOWS\Installer \399f2.ipi -2147024629 ) Contact Microsoft Product Support Services (PSS) for assistance. I have checked the ACL on the temp folder and the Windows Installer folder and they're fine; although this is proven by the fact the other accounts work. The error occurs on ALL msi installers under m…

Workgroup computer accessing a Domain server??
by Guest Scott- 3 replies
- 296 views
Hi, I've just started playing with SBS 2003 and have setup a test server. Most of my network experience has been using just plain old workgroups so I'll apologize now for any dumb questions :-). Anyway, my question is this. I've got a few computers on my network that are all setup as a workgroup and the test sever is a domain. I've added usernames to the server for each of the workstations, shared a drive on the server and all the workstations seem to be able to access the share with no problems. Now, will there be any major issues accessing this server if I DON'T setup the workstations to be on the domain?? Thanks, Scott......

Joining a domain remoted via VPN

I have a interesting question, regarding joing new workstations to a Windows 2003 domain. I am setting up a new workstation for a client's network, I doing this at my offices, the network the workstation will eventually live on is at a different location. In order to complete the setup, I need to join the workstation to the Active Directory domain at the client site. In the past I have always just got as far as I could at my office, then spent a couple of hours finishing the setup at the client site after joining the domain locally . It would be a lot easier if I could join the computer to the domain remotely and compete the setup here, and then just tak…
