HOME FOLDER ON 2003 ENTERPRISE ED .64 BIT SERVER
by Guest Al- 9 replies
- 360 views
ok now this seems pretty simple but it doesn't work!! In ADU&C, I can select an AD user, properties, profile and enter a home folder. Z: \\SERVERNAME\HOME$\%USERNAME% Now on the shared server I created a share directory named HOME, then shared named home$, in there I created the users home folder. user boots up his/her XP Pro which is on the domain and can see his/her home folder but can't freaken create or drop any folders/documents in there. User gets: access denied, you need proper permissions on the folder. User has full control on their folder! Tried everything with permissions and google. Still can't get it to work.

DNS service causing DC to hang on reboot
by Guest Saral6978- 10 replies
- 430 views
*posting here and in the DNS forum* DNS is causing my Domain Controller (Win2003R2) to hang on reboot. It freezes on "Preparing Network Connections". To determine it was DNS, I booted into Safe mode and disabled DHCP and DNS. The server booted normally and I was able to log in. I then enabled DHCP and rebooted server and the server booted normally. After I logged in, I then changed the DNS service to manual and started the service and it started successfully and my forward and reverse zones came up (active directory integrated) and all AD errors were cleared on this particular server (I have a total of 4 DCs among 3 different sites). Problems …

Win 2003 wants to activate again
by Guest Jennifer- 6 replies
- 323 views
Hello After happily fileserving since before I can remember, my Win2003 server has decided it needs to be activated again. There have been no hardware changes. Every day or so for the last week, it won't let me logon until I activate. Sometimes it activates successfully; sometimes it says it is already activated, which, of course, it is. It frequently refuses to let me logon via remote desktop, although I can browse the file system.I have to reboot the machine to allow remote desktop. Then I get the activation thingy. Could the probs be related? Does anyone have any thoughts? Jen

Hyper-V weird ping results from guests
by Guest Dan- 3 replies
- 286 views
We have a Hyper-V cluster setup on our HP Blades and when a Windows 2003 Hyper-V guests pings itself the results are all over the place. Not really a problem until you start using SCOM to check ping availability now our SCOM falsly reports on slow pings replies. And when a Windows 2008 Server guest pings itself it says reply from ::1 which to me says it's using IPv6 but I have IPv6 uncheked for all network connections.

Send Message - Admin Rights
by Guest JohnB- 4 replies
- 291 views
Our users work exclusively through RDP. For some reason a handful of users were given local admin rights, so that they could send each other messages using Task Manager. I've discovered that sending messages using that message does require Local Admin rights. Is there a way to give users rights to send messages using Task Manager, without giving them local admin rights? TIA

linkd questions
by Guest phavel- 6 replies
- 323 views
Hi, I am looking to use linkd to solve a copying issue. Is there any way to get an overall view of all the links that have been created on a system, and likewise is there any way to remove a link once it has been created (other than destroying the source directory). I know there are ways around the latter, just wondering if there about what options I have with this. Thanks.

Wins server install ??
by Guest steve- 3 replies
- 248 views
I have a small network of about 15 computers. One AD. 2003 server. The dhcp is done by the router, if that matters. The server is set up to do dns. I have installed the wins role to help in network conectivity. Once its installed, which seems like a prety simple process. Is there anything else I need to do. Is it like DNS where you basically install it and your done. I have looked at it and it seems to be showing the servers ip address but when i look at Active Registrations and Replication partners I dont see anything listed. Is it working ?? Will it only work if I put the wins server name in each one of the computer network settings?? Thanks.

Checkdisk on Production system - fixing issues without unmountingdrives
by Guest requeth@gmail.com- 0 replies
- 188 views
I have a prod system with several tera of SAN disk attached. The filesystem was acting up and the drive has critical issues now on about 30% of the data, and we need to run a checkdisk to repair the issue. The downside is that it'll take over 3 days of downtime to run checkdisk due to the size of data, and the fact that checkdisk requires that we unmount the drives so users are all ofline for that time. Since there's no 3 day weekends coming up soon does anyone have an idea to fix the drives without unmounting them?

FSRM File Screens and IIS
by Guest Irwin Fletcher- 0 replies
- 200 views
I have a directory that has a file screen set up on it (via FSRM) that only allows file of type .zip. This directory is available via IIS to authenticated users. I have enabled write access to this directory in order to allow users to upload, change or delete files in this directory. The file screen works as it should when users try to upload files. However, where it seems to break is when users create a directory and then rename it. Users are allowed to create the directory, however when they try to rename it, they get blocked by FSRM. It does allow them to rename the directory if they name it something.zip. I tried to share out the directory as…
