I know in the past it was strongly recommended to reboot Windows Server. However, with Windows 2003, is it still recommended? And if so, how often is it recommended?

2008 server can't access net
by Guest Glenn Clark- 1 reply
- 230 views
Hi All I have a 2008 server which I am evaluation before we buy. Its stand alone and when it was built, it used to get its ip via dhcp from a zywall and no problems. we put exchange 2007 on it and then needed to give it a fixed ip address, as soon as we did we could not access the net. When hovering over the network icon in the task bar it says local only. I can access the server from clients and ping from clients, I can't get any internet access and cant even ping the router\zywall. I have checked ipconfig and this all show ok as heard about a route issue which left the default gateway blank but its all fine. The firewall is switched off. I have run…

DC sending lots of random netbios UDP packets?!
by Guest Usenet- 0 replies
- 196 views
I've swapped over a firewall this morning. The new brick has much more/better logging than the previous one. Our internal IP range is 10.x.x.x and I'm seeing loads of netbios tcp/udp traffic being blocked by the firewall that is for all manner of destinations i.e. 192.168.x.x, 172.22.100.x, 100.0.0.254 and so on. We don't use any of those ranges, and the DC is the only machine that is doing this. I've ran lots of virus scans and I believe I've ruled out any sort of trojan/infection etc. and if it were a "nasty" I don't think I'd be seeing so much for the 192.168.x.x ranges. Any suggestions on what on earth may be going on would be welcome. The …

by Guest Roger Crawford- 1 reply
- 222 views
I was reading somewhere on the MS Site that if you had Enterprise Edition of 2008 there was a licensing path to upgrade your 2008 Enterprise to 2008 Datacenter Edition so you could go from the 4 Guest HyperV Servers to Unlimited and it would not cost you the full price of the datacenter edition pricing. I have since lost this article and was wondering if anyone has seen this article also or not and if you have get that info to me. Thanks Roger Crawford HTS

URGENT: How to move 2003 Server to new machine?
by Guest jim- 9 replies
- 410 views
I am an employee of a small company that has an HP Proliant ml350 Windows 2003 Standard server that is about 4 years old and has drives about to fail. I have been tasked with moving the server to new hardware, but I am new to server management in general. (They understand this, but are still confident in my ability to get this done without bringing the company to a grinding halt.) As I am not exactly an experienced server admin at this point, I thought it would be wise to ask you guys what would be the easiest and (most importantly) safest way to move my existing Windows 2003 server to completely different hardware without having to rebuild the enti…

Help with Terminal Server Licensing
by Guest Craig Mann- 3 replies

Does anyone understand Terminal Server Licensing ? Looking on the internet it appears a lot of network administrators out there are having the same issues as me, why is this so complicated? I have purchased 12 Device CALs and have setup a Terminal Server License Server and installed the CALs. I have configured a seperate server as a Terminal Server. However the terminal server currently is in its 120 day grace period. I want the License Server to issue the CALs to the Terminal Server but the Terminal Server keeps prompting that there are no Terminal Server Licensing Servers available, although the License Server can be seen on the network, can ping it etc a…

Hello all I am hoping you can help me. I have just migrated from Netware DHCP to Windows 2003 DHCP. We are one of the departments in a county that need some access to resources in the Main Downtown Office - Timesheet and Fiscal stuff - but for the most part we host all of our own services. This system has been in place for 2 or 3 years and works good until the migration of DHCP services this last Friday. All of our stuff locally works great and the server gives all of the IP info we need however we cannot load web based apps that connect to to our downtown office anymore. What is wierd is if I go to some of the problem PCs and type in the TCPIP info manually…

- 186 views
Hi All, This is a bit off-topic but may be of interest to some people. I have just found a website that looks interesting. It lets companies register their products for beta testing, and testers specify what sort of products that they would like to test. Sort of a beta testing dating service - Membership is free. It look like it is just starting out, but is a promising concept. Betatestnow.com Cheers Mike
