I am helping my new client fix a number of networking problems on their 2K3 network. One of the issues, that has been plaguing them for months is the LDAP error event ID 40960: >>The Security System detected an authentication error for the server LDAP/<servername@domain...>. The failure code from authentication protocol Kerberos was "The attempted logon is invalid. This is either due to a bad username or authentication information.<<< Similarly, they get an error: EVENT LOG System EVENT TYPE Warning SOURCE LSASRV CATEGORY SPNEGO (Negotiator) EVENT ID 40960 The Security System detected an authentication error for the server LDAP/<ser…

Hello, I'm testing booting Win2003R2 Enterprise Edition X64 Version with SP2 from iSCSI target. It works fine.

Windows won't let me write cd's or dvd's!
by Guest Steve V- 1 reply
- 209 views
Can anyone help me? My computer won't let me write cd r's or dvd r's. When I insert a blank dvd or cd, windows asks me if I want to open the writeable cd folder or not. I click to open the writeable folder and it opens as normal but, when I drag or try to paste a file into the folder, it just says it experienced a problem and do I want to try again. Also, I don't get the option under My Computer to right click on the CD drive and select format; also if I explore the blank cd it just displays as 'cd drive D:' - it's as though the computer just won't recognise that there's a writeable cd in the drive. Does anyone have any ideas for me? I'm running XP H…

Posts 1 No administrator rights on server 2003 even though part of administrator group Hi Guys As there does not appear to be a server 2003 forum I'm posting here.

When logging onto these servers with the administrator account used to logon to the DC's I am unable to perform administrator functions even though the administrator account has been added to the local administrator group. When logging on I cant even right click. We are running Group policy managment but the admin accounts do not have any profiles attached and do not app…

Slow connection with new server
by Guest Chuck_N- 14 replies

I am preparing a new server to replace our 5 year old server running Wndows Server 2003 - Enterprise edition. That server has been upgraded through several versions of servers probably back to an early version of NT. As a result, it retains the old directory structure. We only have 20 workstations that are served by the server. It handles everthing for us including file sharing, web site, FTP, Exchange Server 2003, enterprise virus protection, and probably a few more tasks. It is obviously the PDC. This 5 year old server is running great and has had no problems. Because of its age, we are replacing it with a new server, and are planning the same co…

DHCP Backup - Windows 2003
by Guest Andrew- 5 replies

Hello... I am trying to develop a backup solution for our DHCP servers using the netsh dhcp server export command. However, we need to run this command as our scheduler account (typical domain user, no elevated access). The account is receiving an 'access is denied' error when attempting to run the netsh command. Does anyone know how to grant a user permission on the netsh command to backup the database?

Uninstalled SharepointServices 3.0, it removed my default website containing OWA and Certserv websites

Uninstalled SharepointServices 3.0, it removed my default website containing OWA and Certserv websites I wanted to move my WSS 2.0 to a new server housing WSS 3.0. So I thought I would upgrade the website to 3.0 than backup and move. The server is Windows 2003 R2 all updated and patched. That went well. Then I decided I did not need WSS 3.0 on the original machine for space reasons. So I uninstalled. Well that removed my entire Default Website, which housed CertServ, OWA and all of the Exchange webs. Now I am uncertain what is the best course of action. Reinstall WSS 3.0 and then retrieve files from backup? What files would I need exactly? The contents o…

Cannot access shares on R2 from XP workstation
by Guest Bobson- 0 replies

Hi all, Thank you for your help in advance. Little urgent as it is for my Police Depart... the most demandging one :) Here is the situation. I have a R2 app server joined the domain. I can ping it by the name from a pc. I also have XP workstation joined the domain here. DNS settings are correctly setup on both clients and server. If I tried to access the R2 from a workstation by typing \\WindowsR2\share_name (or just \\windowsR2), it would tell you an error message saying The account is not authorized to log in from this workstation. I believe the workstation is up-to-date. I think this is the same to the R2 as well. What this happen? and how to sol…

ntbackup restore problem
by Guest sqeet- 7 replies

I have a client that is using a Quantum DLT-V4 on a Windows 2003 server with ntbackup to perform backups. I recently tried to restore a single file from one of the tapes and received an error: "An inconsistency has been enountered on the requested media" The backups seem to be performing properly, as there have been no errors pertaining to a failed backup on the server. I tried to restore from multiple different tapes and I get the same error. Any ideas on what i can try to resolve this? -- sqeet ------------------------------------------------------------------------ sqeet's Profile: http://forums.techarena.in/member.php?userid=33627 View this thread…

Hi, I am looking for a tool that can monitor and document diskspace / foldesize usage over a period of time. I am thinking of a tool that does kind of "snaphot" every x hours and tell me what changes have occured in diskspace usage.

Hello Everyone, I'm a Client Systems Administrator for McCoy Corporation and our users are having the same issue. What is the batch file you created as a logon script to fix this issue? If it's fine by you I'd like to be able to test implementing this into our environment. To add to that we have some users who are having difficulty accessing legacy software when connected through the VPN due to these same restrictions. Thank you. Stewart Moreland

Hello All: I was wondering if there is a way to install software on remote client machines (XP and VISTA) without using the RDP or Group Policy. I have tried using the PSEXEC (Mark Rassianovich's pstools), but had limited success, also tried remote installer trial version and it didn't always work. Cheers.
