Corrupt file names
by Guest yaro137@googlemail.com- 0 replies
- 209 views
I noticed that I have a large number of files with corrupted names on one of our servers. Most of them have dots underneath some letters in file names. If the dot is below the last letter I can just put the prompt at the end of the file name and hit backspace once which removes the dot but not the last letter fixing the file name in this way. Any idea what might have caused that problem? We have a mixed Windows MacOS environment so I also wandering whether that's not the source of the problem. Thanks for any help. yAro

xcopy question
by Guest KDawg44- 2 replies
- 263 views
Hi, I have a server that a bunch of people access. They have read access to a folder. I have another server that a small group accesses and stores image files on. I have a batch file that uses xcopy to copy the files up to the first server once a week. My question is: is there a switch so that xcopy only copies the files that have changed? or does it do this by default? Thanks. Kevin

I am using wbadmin to backup my Windows Server 2008 server using a scheduled task. Everything works great as far as the backup is concerned. I want to have the server attach the log file and email it to me when the backup is completed. Where is the backup log file? I can’t find it anywhere and I cannot find the answer on the net. So my question is, where is the backup log file? Thanks

Security policies for services in Win2003
by Guest Saga- 0 replies
- 188 views
Hi all, Yesterday I posted a question regarding a problem I have. I have an app that I am attempting to run as a service using srvany on a Win2003 PC with SP1. The service seems to start, but the app is no where to be seen. Through help from another group I also tried it with nssm with the same results. I now suspect that the app is not running as a service due to some security policy. Where can I look at this to find out for sure? Is there any documentation that I can read to delve deeper into this subject? Thanks! Saga --

Print Migrator
by Guest blankmonkey- 8 replies

Is there any support for this? I am trying to use version 3.1, and it is failing, I suspect it is because the cab file gets to large (I have over 300 printers). I know because after the cab is created, I can't mauanlly extract some files, while I can others. Not sure where to bring this up, in case there is a fix, or a feature for 3.2 Since it is not working, does anyone know how to backup or migrate printers? manually??

I have installed Windows 2003 server on a new Dell 2900. This machine has a raid 5 config of 500 gig. I took the default c: partition size of 12 gig when I installed. This machine will be run Terminal server and also act as a file server. I have now realize with Program Files and Document and Settings folders on this partition we'll have immediate problem. I'm either going to have to resize the C: partition *or* reconfigure the system with these folders on a new drive. There isn't a lot of information on this subject available. How are the real world admins doing this? My gut reaction is to simply divide the array right in two 250 gig volumes, …

Regedit HKEY_USERS
by Guest Russ- 0 replies

After reading many MS KB's on the subject of security I am lost when it comes to editing "ESCDomains" in Regedit. I can delete unwanted "domains" one at a time, but there are too many (perhaps thousands). Is there a way to hold down Shift to highlight more than one at a time, or is there a better way to delete in bulk? Many thanks! -- Rusty

Question on Robocopy
by Guest Will- 1 reply
- 218 views
We want to use the robocopy utility to copy large multi-gigabyte backup files from a local hard drive to a central file server. My question is what would happen if robocopy started to copy over a large file that was being actively written to by the native Windows backup application? Will robocopy simply refuse to copy any of the file at all? Will it copy up to the last byte being written and then hang? In general would it be a safe practice to use robocopy on a backup file that is being actively created? -- Will

Win 2003 services with srvany.exe
by Guest Saga- 0 replies

Hi all, I have an app that I need to run as a service. I used SRVANY and INSTSRV to accomplish this in the test XP Pro computer; however, I am having problems doing this on a Win 2003 Server (not SBS) SP1 computer. When I start the service nothing happens, no log is created. I then tried running the Calculator applet as a service and got same results. FYI: I did the same with XP Pro and Calculator started just fine. I had a look around and found articles such as: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=http://support.microsoft.com:80/support/kb/articles/q152/4/60.asp&NoWebContent=1 http://support.microsoft.com/kb/137890/EN-US/ http://support…

"Access Denied" for Home Directories

- 260 views
Not sure which Group to post this. All network users "Home Directories" are configured in AD under the Profile Tab H: - \\servername\users\%username% I have a few (2 to 4) users that receive an "Access Denied" message when they attempt to open thier (H:) drive. This doesn't happen all the time - it is very spartic. All I do to correct the issue is disconnect the (H:) drive and re-map it and unchecking the "connect at login" option - because I know it will reconnect because of thier profile settings when they login - and it does. They don't have to reboot/logout-login or anything of that nature. By just being able to re-map the drive tells me tha…

Windows 2008 Sysprep
by Guest Dylan- 2 replies
- 250 views
First of all, I understand Microsoft only support preparing system running WinOS using sysprep but, 2008 version of sysprep do not support OS that doesn't use standard c: drive as system drive letter. We created a default system with necessary applications installed but one requirement on this image is not using c: as system drive. When running sysprep with an unattend.xml that specified a drive letter, e.g. n:, sysprep process won't complete. Sysinternal has not release a new version of newsid for windows 2008. Has anyone any suggestion on any other utilties that generate new sid for a system and works with windows 2008? Thanks.
