Group Policy By User
by Guest Grant- 8 replies
- 543 views
I am running a server with Windows Server 2003 Standard. I have Active Directory setup as well as Terminal Services. I have 5 users who will be logging in through Terminal Services and I would like to limit what they can do. I know that this can be done with Group Policy but how can I set it up so that I can still log in through Terminal Services without having the restrictions applied to me?

Change Remote Desktop Port
by Guest DiFFeReNT- 9 replies
- 576 views
I've followed the instructions found all over the internet on how to change my remote desktop port via the registry, and it works great, over the network. All I have to do is ipaddress:3390. Unfortunately, this will not work over the internet. I have setup port forwarding for TCP (and UDP) port 3390 to forward to my computer, which has a static IP address, the same way that I have port 3389 successfully forwarded to another computer. I also manually opened the port 3390 on the Windows firewall. Remote desktop won't connect using the port 3390. When I run the port test at http://canyouseeme.org/, it says Error and Request Timed Out. Since my port forw…

Unable to Map a Drive from Win95/98
by Guest BearDoc- 2 replies
- 261 views
Hi I've just purchased and installed a new Windows 2003 File Server, and configure share drives. WinXP PCs are able to successfully map drive to this server. However Win98/95 cannot. It says "the computer or share name could not be found". I've tried to do net use x: \\Win2K3\shared and net ise x: \\ipaddress\shared. I've also tried to go to Network Neighbourhood, am able to see the server name but cannot access. I've got 2 other Windows 2003 File Server on the network and Win98/95 can map successfully. Is it due to some settings on this new Windows 20003? Would appreciate any help on this issue. Thank you.

Restored from image Can't find DC
by Guest Dale- 3 replies
- 300 views
Hi, I just restored a desktop from an image made of that machine about 2 months ago. the restore went fine but when I try to log in the users account I get the " Can't find Domain Controller" error. The DC is definitely there and this desktop happens to be plugged into the same switch the DC is in. DNS is functioning and other machines in the network can communicate perfectly with the DC. Any ideas what could be causing this and how can I fix it? Thanks Dale

Time Sync
by Guest Randy- 4 replies

How can I check that XP Pro members of my domain are actually syncing time to the DC (Server 2003 R2 SP1)? On another thread, someone suggested: "Do your computers synchronize the time with DC? Use this command to test it: net time /querysntp." So I tried that on a couple of machines and get results such as: The current SNTP value is: time.windows.com,0x1 The reason I'm looking is that there is a single XP machine in the office that is an hour off. A net time result for it also has some extra Time Zone info that none of the other machines have: Current time at \\mach1 is 11/1/2007 8:56 AM Local time (GMT-05:00) at \\mach1 is 11/1/2007 7:56…

Measuring Connections for Firewall Specification
by Guest David Morgan- 1 reply
- 213 views
Hello We are looking at getting a new firewall to protect our web servers. (2 x Windows 2003 R2 running IIS.) One of the questions we have been asked is, under normal load, what is the number of connection attempts per second and how many open connections would the firewall need to support? Can someone tell me the best way to collect this information? I know that there is a connection attempts counter within performance monitor, but how about open connections? Thanks David

services.exe sucking up RAM
by Guest Gis Bun- 3 replies
- 282 views
Hi. We have 2 DCs. Both running just about the same software and services. Both have DNS. Server "A" also has DHCP. Server "B" doesn't. Noticed recently on Server "A" that services.exe is sucking up 140 MB of RAM [as per the task manager] while services.exe on Server "B" is hovering at around 40 MB of RAM. Both have Win 2K3 SP2. Both should be up to date on any security updates. Ideas? [Aside from rebooting].

XP Domain users and Local users laptop login question??
by Guest steve- 4 replies

Laptop users are a bit confusing to me. Say I have a Laptops that can connect to the domain, ( if set up of course) but also because they are transportable don't alway connect to the domain. eg at home or on the road. I also know ( or think I know ??) that a laptop domain user lets call him MrDomainUser can logon to the laptop some number of times not connected to the domain. That there is some cache that allows a non authenticated user to login and access his files.(am I right here??) However once that cache has expired, ( I dont know the rules for this) but anyway, once its expired he cannot log in as MrDomainUser,untill he is connected to the domain again. …

Network Slow down after several hours
by Guest Blacksheep- 2 replies

We have a W2k3 sp2 Dell 2850 server we are using for file share and roaming profiles. It is running an Intel Pro 1000 MT NIC. After being online for several hours the network traffic thru the NIC slows down to about 1%. Removing the cable from the NIC and Re-inserting it restores the performance of the server. We have changed the cabling from the NIC to the Cisco Catalyst Switch, Changed Ports and still the same issue. Yesterday the problem would come back within an hour. I changed the NIC settings to all for Jumbo Frames to alleviate the load on the server and increase throughput. The server was fine all day until we came in this morning and the same pro…

Fax folders location
by Guest Nile- 0 replies
- 210 views
Hello, I am trying to configure the Windows server 2003 Fax which i did successfully. But as our server is very limited on disk space (c: is running out of space). I would like to change all the fax folders to another local drive. Now it is possible to do most of them through the MS Fax Service manager but the most crucial once is the Queue and the Common cover pages, these we cannot change them through the console. I did some research and some pages saying we have to do it in the registry key but i just don't know where the reg key is. Can anyone help? Thanks in advance Nile

Hi, During installations of several Microsoft-Programms on the new Server, I see, that "at least Windows 2003 SP1 is required". That means to me that the compatibility of the OS is not yet very fine-tuned. Is that true? regards Patrick

On 2 domain member servers, we use administrator or a member of domain admins to start specific services. Rebooting or restarting the services requires reentering the password for the account. I've setup a GP to allow the particular user the rigth to logon as a service as per the KB article which number which escapes me at this moment, to no avail. Part II; anyone have a script that restarts a service not running as system account, and needing a password? thnx in advance
