Hey Guys I have Win 2k3 SBS and i had installed it about 2 months ago and was able to connect the domain no problem. I since left it, to work on other things and have now come back to it. The problem i am having is when i use the ConnectComputer tool under "http://servername", i get the following error: =================================================== You are not authorized to view this page The Web server you are attempting to reach has a list of IP addresses that are not allowed to access the Web site, and the IP address of your browsing computer is on this list. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------…

Allowing user to modify their Network connections
by Guest Blackberry- 4 replies
- 380 views
Hi All I have a Win2k3 server setup at a school using AD/GPO to administer things. I have two sets of users, pupils and teachers, and I've tried to lock things down as much as possible really on both accounts where practical. The problem I have is that the teachers want to use their laptops on their networks (wireless and wired) at home and I therefore need to let them have access to the network connections/configurations so that they can change their ips, subnets, ssids, etc. As a test I added network administrators to the staff's account (ie they were network admins and domain users) and although they could get to the network properties main wind…

raid controller 1 contains bad stripe
by Guest Jeremy Schubert- 3 replies

I have a server 2003 in my school running RAID 5. A couple months back, I replaced a hard drive because my event log was filling up and the light on the drive was orange (obviously RAID troubleshooting is not my forte!) Now my event log is filled again with: An error was detected on device \Device\Harddisk0 during a paging operation. A freind gave me some error checking software and it comes up with the message: raid controller 1 contains bad stripe Can I assume the problem is the RAID controller or do I need to do further investigating? Thanks,

Hey I have 2 computers, winXPpro (sp2 installed) machine and win2k3 machine at home. Configured in a network, they share the same internet connection, via a router I've shared a folder on the win2k3 machine, but from the winXP machine I'm having trouble connect to this folder.

R2 clarification
by Guest Nicked_Today- 6 replies
- 478 views
Hi, I´ve been browsing the web for several hours reading about R2 and SP2 and I´m just getting more confused. I have several Windows Server 2003 Std with no SP and with SP1 and SP2 but no R2. I have Software Assurance so I can take advantage of the R2 version. Win2003 with SP1 can be upgraded to R2 but I got a test server with no service pack which I tried to upgrade to R2 to test but I get a message saying I need SP2? So do I need to apply SP2 to my server and then install R2? I also heard that if I install SP2 and when R2 I will not be able to uninstall SP2? If I apply SP2 and when R2 will the server be a Windows Server 2003 R2 version not sayi…

Shadow Copy Client not displaying - RDP affected?
by Guest LindaV- 1 reply
- 255 views
Hi, I've been struggling with an issue for a while, so I was wondering if anyone had any input. Running a Dell Poweredge with W2K3 SP2, all of the latest patches. We take shadow copies hourly, Mon-Fri 9-5PM. Shadow copies will work for 5 or so days - and I will check on them at my XP client (where the client is installed). For some reason, after I check on them with the client, the next time I go view to make sure it is still backing up, the shadow copies client will not show any new shadow copies have been created. For example at 10:05AM I will check the previous versions client, and see an 10AM entry, and information is available. At 11:10AM,…

I have a Windows Server 2003 R2 setup which I installed using the ISO files downloaded with my technet plus subscription, and used the product key provided through technet+. I have now purchased a Microsoft Open License for this product - is there any way to convert my existing server to a regular license, rather than having to wipe everything and reinstall from scratch? Thanks Ralph

Demoted server, now no net logon service
by Guest tke402- 3 replies
- 305 views
Hi, I demoted a dc in my domain to a member server. Now the net logon service does not start. This is also causing the windows time service and other services to not start. The demotion was clean and successful and I removed all remaining service records from DNS (the server was also a DNS server with AD intergrated zones). I have also uninstalled DNS from the machine. Any ideas what is keeping net logon from starting? All the errors in the event logs are issues that trace back to the netlogon service not starting but nothing tells me what is causing the netlogon service to not start. Thanks, TKE402

Roaming Profiles and Redirected folders
by Guest Scott Micale- 14 replies
- 710 views
We use roaming profiles and redirected folders. I want to know what is the right setting on the share for offline settings. Should it be: 1. Only the files and programs that users specify will be available offline. 2. All files and programs that users open from the share will be automatically available offline. Check box Optimized for performance. 3. Files or programs from the share will not be available offline I am using Option 1 right now, but wondered if it should be option 2. I am noticing the redirected Desktop is not putting things that are deleted into the users Recycle Bin and I am wondering if it is because of the share offline setting…
