setup of a test environment for windows 2003 server
by Guest inenewbl- 2 replies
- 316 views
Hi all. I have setup a windows 2003 server for testing purpose for installing of updates and patches by microsoft before releasing them to my live servers. I would like to know what is the industry practise of patching the servers. Do you all do it everytime the patches are released or do it like once a month everytime? If i were to setup a test server for testing updates for my dc, other than setting up the test server as a dc, do i have to install every single 3rd party program that can be found on my actual DC, like backup software, ups software? Thks in advance.

Why doesn't RDP client pass thru the handedness of the mouse
by Guest Nick Payne- 5 replies
- 347 views
I use mouse left-handed due to arthritis problems in my right hand. I also have to RDP to servers using an admin id shared with other users, so I can't change the mouse settings for the user on the server to left-handed. Using Rdesktop to the servers from Linux I get a left-handed mouse session without changing any settings on the server, so why can't the MS RDP client manage the same? Problem happens with the latest version of the RDP client as well as with previous versions.

Losing user workstation profiles

We seem to be encountering an issue with a few of our clients where a user will log on to a Windows 2000 or Windows XP workstation and their workstation profile will be recreated. When reviewing the C:\Documents and Settings folder the user profiles will be as such: C:\Documents and Settings\USER <--- Original user profile C:\Documents and Settings\USER.DOMAIN <--- User profile after profile is lost Now, in every case, it is an Active Directory user account on Windows Server 2003. We've tried installing the registry hive cleanup service on Microsoft's recommendation to no avail. Also, we haven't been able to trace any event log entr…

Win 2003 WMI
by Guest craig- 0 replies

Howdie, Strange one, we've deployed 45 identical servers all running Win 2003 R2 SP1. IIS in installed & running on all. For some reason 6 of the servers don't have the MicrosoftIISv2 namespace in the WMI database (checked with scriptomatic). Is there a MOF or any other way (without reinstalling IIS) to reimport the IIS stuff back into WMI? I know I can blow away the system32\wbem\repository folder & let Windows rebuild the DB, but there has to be another way... Thanks in advance Craig

When applying permissions, changes take a lonnnnnnnnnng time
by Guest Mike M- 3 replies
- 324 views
I've noticed this behavior since the NT4 days but never thought to figure out why this occurs....I'm just tired of dealing with it. :) When changing NTFS permissions over the network (not on the file server itself) once the Apply or OK button is pressed, it takes several minutes for the permissions window to finally disappear. This behavior is not exhibited when I'm on the server console, or RDP'd into the server, and changing the same set of permissions from there. Any clues? TIA, Mike

I need help determing why I have high pages/sec. Server is Windows 2003 Enterprise Edition sp1 2 - Intel Xeon 3.2ghz processors 2 gig of memory 6 - 70gb drives - Raid 5 stripped across all drives c: - 8 gig - 500 mb free d: - 331 gb - 220 gb free page file is 3gb and is located on the c:. I have read that the page file shold not be on the system drive however it will not help if I move it to the d: since all drives are raid 5. cpu usage is very low. This is simply a DFS file server and that is it. Several users have a drive mapping to at least one of the directories. Will adding an additional 2 gb of memory really help?

Hi, As above, scenario is; Shortcut on desktop to share on server, users can write to folder but not browse it for security purposes. When a user drops a file into the folder the local user administrator takes ownership, we would like to retain ownership by the individual who dropped it in there so when a spider process picks the files up it can check owner and log who dropped the file in the folder. Is there a very specific set of permissions that this folder mosut be configured wih for this wo work in this way? Cheers Sean

by Guest Brian- 0 replies

I have a Windows Vista desktop. I RDP into many servers 2000, 2003 x32 and x64. I have one server 2003 SP2 R2 Enterprise Edition x64 build 3790.srv03_sp2_rtm.070216-1710, when I or anyone RDP's into this server from a Vista computer the session is very slow. The screen refreshes fine, but a mouse click takes several seconds to reatct. I've found that if I run a "netsh interface tcp set global autotuninglevel=disabled" command on my Vista box the RDP session works fine. RDP from XP is also fine. I don't know why this is the only server I'm having problems with. I have one other 2003 SP2 R2 Enterprise x64 server and its build number is 3790.srv…
