how to forbid users to connect directly to printers
by Guest Yann- 9 replies
- 554 views
Hi, Just wondering: is there an easy way to forbid users to connect/print directly on printers without going through my Windows 2003 print server? These are all kind of HP printers, and I want them to use the print server so I can control which drivers they are using and monitor the usage of printing. Thanks for any help

Hi Everyone, I have a file server with a sharename of "common$". In the past couple of days people have been deleting files and I am unsure how to audit/track the users. Is there a way to keep a log of all deleted files in the common$ folder? Thank you, D

Page File Usage
by Guest EricPaul- 0 replies

I'm in a quandry over page file usage... I have a Windows 2003 server that has 4GB of RAM. Using performance counters it seems that the Pagefile has been set by the OS to 3.2 GB. I am getting Virtual Memory errors and the page file is filling up, but there is still RAM available. The page file will be full but task manager still shows that there is roughly 3GB of RAM available. I know the system always uses some virtual memory but it seems odd to run out of virtual memory before you run out of real RAM. Has anyone else had a problem like this? Am I missing something?

Faxing Issues
by Guest Ian McCulloch- 0 replies
- 180 views
Hi all I am using the built in faxing service for Windows 2003 SP2 I have had several users notify the help desk that when they attempt to send a fax, nothing happens. They have to print to the fax printer a second time. I have looked at the logs on the fax server - nothing to indicate anything was sent. I scoured the event logs of both the fax server and the Citrix server and nothing fax related. This is working 99.5 % of the time. Are there any troubleshooting measures to take? Anything I can set in place to track one user? Has anyone heard of this before? Regards Ian McCulloch IT Specialist MacLeod Lorway Group Sydney, NS

Certificate Authority Problem
by Guest Mick Montalto- 3 replies
- 303 views
I recently installed Certificate Authority onto my domain controller as an Enterprise Root CA. This is fine but I had forgotten that during my Exchange 2003 implementation one of the consultants working on the job installed Certificate Services on one of my mail servers as well to function with Outlook Web Access. In the end we did not utlize the Windows certificate and ended up purchasing a Verisign certificate due to some common errors we were experiencing. I now have no idea how that server was configured in terms of if it was a standalone server, Enterprise Root CA or what. How do I check to see what level of CA my Exchange 2003 server is at a…

Recovering from a domain server crash without a backup.
by Guest Noctaire- 2 replies
- 243 views
1) Is there ANY way to put a new domain server into an existing domain, replacing the previous unit that crashed, without unjoining then rejoining each and every client on the network? Scenario: A small company with 30-50 client PCs has a single Win2K3 domain server. All client PCs are members of the domain. The server crashes and it is found that backups were not being performed. A new instance, with the same domain name, is created from a fresh install. Naturally, the existing client PCs will not be able to access the domain. The basic solution is to remove the client PCs from the domain then join them into the new domain to build the trust relat…

Home directory permission soup
by Guest Rickard- 1 reply
- 211 views
I've been searching for the correct permissions to put on a shared folder that contains user home directories in our server2003/xp environment. We also do folder redirection of Application Data into the home directory via a domain level group policy. http://technet2.microsoft.com/windowsserver/en/library/a1b7ce04-708b-4145-830a-cadfc003acd31033.mspx?mfr=true The above article contains a table under "NTFS permissions required for the root folder" that lists suggested permissions for the root folder into which you do folder redirection, but that's not quite what we have. We have a folder containing home directories and then Application Data is redirected into t…

ASR restore & RAID drivers....
by Guest Noctaire- 0 replies
- 173 views
We created an ASR backup on a server with a RAID array (mirrored drives), swapped the drives out, then ran a restore on the new drives. Everything appeared to go ok but when the restore was done and the system restarted, it just kept rebooting. Didn't appear to make it past the POST. Are there any known issues with an ASR recovery and RAID controller drivers? Although it makes sense one would have to do the F6/add drivers bit during a fresh installation, I don't see why the restored version of Windows would be unable to handle the same controller on a new drive pair.

Windows Server 2003 R2
by Guest gregz@schange.com- 0 replies

Has anyone run across an issue where they installed 2003 R2, then joined it to a domain after the fact and having trouble with files copied saying you don't the necessary permissions to either open the file or run the install of an application from another server? I have found with 2003 R2 that if I join it to the domain during install I don't have this issue. If this has happened besides a re-install is there any way to correct this issue. Thanks.

Win2K3 - R2 hanging problem.
by Guest abckid- 0 replies
- 189 views
Hi, I have installed a new Win2K3 - R2 Server as member server of the domain; with roles of File Server and Print Server. We have folder share for users on the server and all users are mapped to this share. Folders have rights as per different groups and users. The problem is that sometimes the response for users accessing the files on the server is very slow. Its fine normally, but suddendly the access to any file or while saving it hangs for sometime and gets back normal. There are no sort of errors in the event viewer or any sort of performance issue. I have enabled the File screening option to block audio, video and installer files as per bui…

Secret Sector Backdoor / Security Breach
by Guest Security.Concerned.User@gmail.com- 3 replies
- 310 views
Hello everyone, Recently I've realized that Windows XP Pro (SP1) secretly writes data to hard-disk sector(s) that were beyond its installation-partition boundaries; at that time I used a basic Windows XP installation on a 3-GB partition, and the rest of the harddisk was unformatted, for all Windows cared. I should also mention that my WinXP partition is formatted on FAT32, but I am capable of accessing NTFS partitions, if need be, using NTFS4DOS, (which I didn't). Obviously I was only able to have discovered that with an MSDOS-run Disk Editor capable of accessing all 160 million sectors of my 80GB hard disk, and making a text-based datafile containing se…

Hi all, I have a problem for slow auto logon without any domain (just a workgroup) for running in Fujistu P7230 notebook. After loading the personal setting, it has to wait almost 1 minutes to load the desktop icons. I have tried to delete the profiles and use other accounts to auto logon and it still does not help. My method for auto logon is change the registry key to autoadminlogon key to 1. And if my machine does not has any slow problems if I do not set any auto logon. Please advise. Thanks, Ivan

Hi We currently have machines (mostly winxp and linux) setup using static ip addresses, manually configured on each computer. We now want to implement DHCP and use reservations for all the PCs. However, we want to use the IP addresses they are already on (we can see these in DNS). What we need is a list of these IP addresses along with machine name and MAC address so that we can put them into the dhcp reservations, either manually or via some sort of import/export utility. Does anyone know an easy way around this ? arp -a seems a bit unreliable and doesn't give us machine name. thanks
