Question on Robocopy
by Guest DT- 4 replies
- 367 views
Guys, I might be having a blonde moment but I recall in the past (have not used it for a few years) that Robocopy had the ability to mirror two folders, and update files based on the file dates in the two folders. That is, if for instance, we are sync'ing folder A and folder B and the file existed in both then the older of the two would be replaced. However I have setup the following: robocopy.exe \\server1\share\folder1 \\server2\share\folder2 /MIR This deletes anything on server2 that does not exist on server1 So I tried this: robocopy.exe \\server1\share\folder1 \\server2\share\folder2 /MIR /XX /LOG+:sync2nth.txt This does not delete a…

large page support and numproc option
by Guest Chen Yang- 0 replies
- 190 views
hi, All: I'm using Windows Server 2003 R2, patched with the latest SP2. But I'm meeting problems with the option of numproc=N in boot.ini, after specifying the option, Windows cannot provide the large page support in running applications. If I don't specify the option, I can use large page successfully. (I have enabled my account in the local security policy by assigning the my accout in "lock pages in memory".) Is it expected or problems of current Windows Server 2003 R2? It exists in SP1. Would some one shine some lights on this issue? Thanks. -- Chen

Can't browse server shares
by Guest LincolnIT- 10 replies
- 597 views
We have about 6 Windows XP machines that suddenly cannot browse the server shares on the DC. These computers are not running the login scripts from the server automatically and I think this is why. Other XP machines are not having this issue. If you try to browse to the server using its ip address the shares do appear. I've tried the following with no success: -using a host file with the servername and ip address -enabling netbios over ip -ipconfig /flushdns

Restrict printing to black and white only

Hi, I have one printer shared from Windows 2003 server. I would like to restrict certain users from being able to go in change the printing preferences to print in color. I have the everyone group in the security tab of the printer and it has only print checked off not manage documents or manage printers. When logging in as a user i can modify the printing preferences to whatever I want. I thought this would be greyed for users unless they had rights above just print. What am I doing wrong? Thanks in advance.

Hello all, I am having issues with some faculty's personal Vista laptops not being able to surf the internet.

Roaming Profile Take Ownership problem
by Guest UselessUser- 3 replies
- 343 views
Hi all, We have roaming profiles stored on a 2003 server, the group policy to automatically create profiles with Administrator Full Control is NOT set. I needed to delete some files from a user's profile, so I went into the folder and took ownership so I could see the folder and added my permissions full control. I then deleted the files I needed to, and gave ownership back to the user, set their permissions to full control, and finally removed my permissions from the folder... Everything appeared to be back to normal, however the user is getting an access denied error when they attempt to login... The only way I have been able to get around this i…

Installing RIS on Windows Server 2003
by Guest justin2312@gmail.com- 1 reply
- 212 views
I have posted this on a SBS forum, but I thought I'd give it a shot on the general Wndows 2003 one. I've read a few how-to docs on installing Remote Installation Service (RIS) on Windows Server 2003; they all seem to say go to Add/Remove Programs> Windows Components and select "Remote Installation Service". I looked on my server, however, and the option isn't listed there at all. I'm sure the server is Windows Server 2003 SP1, is there any reason why the feature would be absent?
