W32Time Log
by Guest Erik Larsson- 0 replies
- 201 views
Hi all, I'm working on a server system that uses NTP/w32tm to synchronize its clock. That part works fine for me. The problem is that I need to log, in my application, when a time-sync is done and the current offset. I also would like to log the wait time. My solution to that was to turn on the debug log and parse that file every time something new is added. I can then search for the strings a need to log in my application. This thing is that I can't parse the file in my application. When a open it in notepad it's ok. It seems to be in Unicode. But when a try to read it with fgetws/fgets and some Unicode conversion it will just be foobar. So my question. …

I would like to know if you need to have RRAS services installed and/ or a configured routing table on a multihomed Windows Server 2003 server. Is it possible to just use 2 or more network adapters on the server without the server having to be configured as a router? Any help or links to documents about this would be most appreciated.

Print Servers on VMWare
by Guest JayDee- 0 replies
- 186 views
We are looking to set up a few print servers with as many queues as possible - we expect light utilization of most of the printers (a few documents an hour maybe). According to what I've read in Microsoft's "Print Server Scalability and Sizing Technical Overview" document, having upwards of 1,500 (or even 2,000) queues on a server should not be a problem. I'm thinking about using a VMWare virtual server instance to perform this function, and I have not been able to locate much on the internet regarding the relationship between VMWare and high-utilization print servers. If you know something (warnings, etc), please let me know! Thanks... - JmD

- 195 views
I got a DELL PE 4600. I am using a Perc 3Di RAID Controller with dual channels. On one channel I have my OS running on a mirrored RAID 0 (2x 36GB) On the second channel I have a RAID 5 striped set (5x73 GB) that includes a hot spare. I've just added a new drive to my RAID 5 array and need to extend the primary partition. I do not want to use the new drive as an extended partition. I'm not looking for suggestions as I have already posted this and got some great feedback on it. What I am seeking is some success stories on anyone who has used DELL's ExtPart utility to extend the primary partition. I've talked to DELL and I got mixed feedback and also they say we do …

the question is refering to the following http://www.petri.co.il/windows_2003_adprep_fix_for_e2k.htm I don't know if I need the fix or not, but will it hurt anything if I do run this fix? In other words, I can run this without actually needing the fix and it will have no ill effects on the domain. I am currently in a 2000 domain, with one DC and several member servers and an exchange server. Basically from what I read and researched apply adprep fix. run adprep /forestprep run adprep /domainprep join 2003 server and run dcpromo demote 2000 dc join 2nd 2003 server and install exchange move mailboxes from old exchange to new exchange Please let …

Profiles
by Guest aja44- 0 replies
- 181 views
I work in a school environment and have many labs and each lab has different model computers. I would like to configure a user profile that will load based on the computer they are logging into and have that profile locked so that they cannot update or change anything. I have created GPO's that disable the ability to change the backgrounds and save, removed Picture and Fax viewer from displaying the ability to set an image as a background when the kids right click on it and have disabled the context of Internet Explorer so that the students cannot right click on an IE page and set that image as a background. But somehow, they still manage to find a way …

We just bought 2 huge ( well I thin they are huge) servers with W2k3 + Terminal Services and a Server with SBS 2003 and Exchange 2003. Question, Can our outdated older Server, with W2k3 and 5 licenses be networked with the new domain, and turned into a usable workstation. Or must it be reprogrammed with something like XP Pro? Is there ting we can do with the old 5 W2K3 licenses onboard, or do they just sit there? We'd like to make it just a networked workstation.. Thanks..in advance. Mark

Volume Shadow Copy -- Client Side API
by Guest ShahM802@gmail.com- 0 replies

Hi I am in the process of updating/migrating our home brew Document management system from netware to microsoft. In the process I we ( the development team) realized that microsoft has a technology that would provide a feature similar to novell's "salvage file" feature. This is a huge part of our application and is a major plus for our end users. My question is, is there any client side api for returning the "previous versions" of a file so that I can list them within our application? i'm looking for functionality that is similar to the "previous version" tab that is available through the client side file properties dialog. Thanks in advance.
