Optimum page file size for windows server 2003
by Guest RossB- 4 replies
- 400 views
What is the optimum page file size for windows server 2003. As RAM size increases, is it really necessary to increase the pagefile size to match. It used to be the case that MS recommended 1*RAM for pagefile size, but is it really necessary to have an 8GB pagefile on a server with 8GB RAM, would this not place an excessive load on the disks and waste a lot of disk space. What is the discussion groups thoughts on this?

this is the weirdest problem i've ever seen. We have a user who's first print job from her RDC session always hangs every day. Then when she logs off the server and back on to clear her virtual print queue mapped to the network printer installed on her local computer, she can then print. I've tried deleting her profile from the server, reinstalling the printer on her local computer, no such luck. Any ideas of what could I could possibly try next???? She use mstsc to connect to the 2000 SP4 server. Even cancelling the job in her virtual print queue doesn't work, it just sits at Deleting forever until she logs off. Is there some sort of logging I can …

Hello, I have a backup server running W2003 SP2 and after installing a new tape library (TS3200) the operating system recognizes it but the Backup utility can't use the tape. Every time I try using the backup utility it gives me a message indicating there is no available cartridge in the library, before this message, it tries to mount all cartridges without success. Thanks for any help.

Help! I changed the Logon properties for Remote procedure Call (RPC) service & can't change back.

Help! I changed the Logon properties for Remote procedure Call (RPC) service & can't change back. Hi Sorry for the dramatic subject... I hope it’s a fairly simple thing... Basically I changed the Logon properties for the RPC service on our PDC from the original Network Service account to use the Local System account. I did this to see if it would fix an error I was having with another service not starting citing a dependency group failed to start & the only thing in the dependency group is the RPC. So... I thought if I changed the Logon credentials and it worked I'd have a better clue as to what was wrong... (That probably sounds very irrat…

System State Location?
by Guest Triage- 0 replies
- 215 views
I noticed when installing remote access clients for BackupExec 9.1 that on one of my domain controllers the System State was listed separately within the file structure and on the other it was listed within the Shadow Copy Components. Both DCs are running WinServer2003 SP2. The only difference is that one of the servers is the Global Catalog (the one on which the system state is listed separately). Shadow copy is disabled on both systems. How should the directory structure properly appear? -- "I enjoyed my youth so much that I decided to bring it along with me." -G.C.

How to set NIC to be default
by Guest Miha- 4 replies

Hi Have a problem with setting one of two Ethernet adapters to default. Win2003 Web Server, 2 NICs are connected to a switch which has two firewalls connected to it. 1 NIC 190.191.0.18/16 GW 190.191.2.1 2 NIC 190.191.0.17/16 GW 190.191.0.1 First NIC routes through a firewall that has access to the internet, second NIC routers through a firewall that has access to LAN and Internet. But after restarting server, or disabling/enabling second NIC, default traffic is always routed through second NIC through GW 190.191.0.1, but I want that internet traffic is always routed through the first NIC that has GW 190.191.2.1? So in other words…

need to track RDC logins
by Guest Cindy B- 0 replies
- 219 views
I need to be able to track all RDC connections to our Windows 2003 servers. I've been trying to find a way to narrow down an event log -ID- that will allow me to do that. I've tried Security - information - 552, which gives me what I need -connection/time/userID/source workstation , but it also reports a lot of system acitivty. We have Vendors with access, but need to document all of their connections. Is anyone currently doing this or anything similar, by filtering the event logs? If so can you tell me what log IDs you're having success with. We do have a server monitoring software - but it has limited filtering capabilites. Log- source - category …

Hi, We had a power failure while an offline disk defragmentation was happening (on a Windows 2003 Standard Server). Upon reboot, a Chkdsk ran which found errors in the file system and fixed them. When the Server boots up, the Kerberos Key Distribution Center service and File Replication Service aren't running (normally automatic). Starting them manually gives me the following: ----------------------- Could not start the Kerberos Key Distribution Center service on local computer. Error 126: The specified module could not be found. ----------------------- and ----------------------- Could not start the File Replication Service service on local computer. …
