Backups in 2003 SP2
by Guest Phil- 0 replies

Hi, We are having a serious problem with ntbackup on our Windows 2003 Standard servers. The problem originally occured when backing up the system state on the Domain controller. The backup fails after a few minutes with an error relating to the Volume Shadow failing at its first attempt. I then tried some investigation, and found that I can't backup up anything, on any of our servers (not just the DC) - even a single file from the C: drive. I get the same error relating to the volume shadow failing on its first attempt during backup. Typically I've left the exact error message on site (its not near where i work). I don't think its the problem that pe…

We are using Microsoft Server 2003 at our county jail. I need to set some of the users to only be able to access one computer. All users are in the same domain group and can access any computer on the domain. Is there a way to set that user to only be able to access a certain computer?

okay to remove $NtUninstallKbxxxxxx$??
by Guest Jeff- 2 replies
- 245 views
Hey The windows directory of my win2k3 machine has plenty of folders (in blue color) with names like $ExchUninstallKBxxxx$, $NtServicePackUninstallNLSDownlevelMapping$ and $NtUninstallKBxxxx$ These folders take up about 800MB on the server. From what I know these folders contain info so patch can be uninstalled.. but I'm satisfied with how the system works right now and have no planes of uninstalling those win2k3 patches... Is it okay to remove those folders or will it cause some other problems? Maybe I instead could burn those folders onto a DVD... so burn them to DVD and then delete them from Windows directory? Jeff

server resolution issue... Please help
by Guest Goofylox- 1 reply

Hi there, I'm migrating server1 to server2. When I'm done server 2 will have exactly the same as server 1 but much newer and windows 2003 OS. I would like to know how I can go about making the users unaware of any changes. Most users put links in their word docs, excel spreadsheets, etc, etc... that points to \\server1\data\.. so I want to migrate to server 2 and keep the server2 name but have all the users files still think that server1 is still active. I've tried doing some tests such as adding a record in dns (ie: server1test) but when I go to \\server1test\data\.. it presents a message saying "no network provider accepted the given path…

SBS Servers
by Guest stjoe5373@news.postalias- 2 replies

Hi, I asked awhile ago if I could join a Standard Server 2003 to a SBS 2003 domain and I received the answer yes. I don't recall where I posted the question, anyway I went to join the server to an existing domain last night and it said something to the affect that the AD was to old? It is 2003 Standard R2, am I missing something or can I not join that server to the domain, I just realized I want it to be a domain controller as well, I didn't ask that before, oops... I did join it to the domain, can I add it as a domain controller? That's the question I meant to ask. Thanks Craig

Hi all, I have 2 seperate domains connecting to the one DHCP server through the same VLAN. Each Domain has its own DNS server, How can I tell the DHCP Server to hand out DNS Address to domain A and another to Domain B? as each domain has its own DNS server. At the moment all its doing its handing out the 2 domains with the same DNS, IP etc defined in the scope. Is there any way of telling the DHCP server that if a client comes from domain A hand out this DNS addresses and if comming from Domain B give it this DNS addresses? cheers barry

Display delete confirmation dialog
by Guest kenp21@gmail.com- 2 replies

Hey all, Had an interesting request today. User accidentally deleted some files that were being hosted on a share from a Windows 2003 server. He stated the "Display delete confirmation dialog" setting was unchecked... A requirement I received in result was to lock the setting down so users cannot display the dialog and accidentely delete an entire share of data. We do have backups etc to mitigate, but to reduce time spent by the administrators they want to lock this feature... I glanced over group policies and didn't see anything... Our infrastructure is Windows 2003 domain and all XP clients. Thanks and cheers, Ken
