Crypto\RSA\S-1-5-18 folder infection?
by Guest Lynn- 0 replies
- 261 views
Win SBS 2k3 Standard. My A/V occasionally flags files in this folder (C:\D&S\All Users\App Data\MS\... )as infected but does not specify the infection. I had questioned my local gurus at one point and was told to not worry about it. Files are usually deleted when found, before I know about it. Had one show up today, couldn't disinfect or delete so quarantined it. I'm trying to read up on what this folder is for, and will be submitting file to A/V company for research, but thought I'd post questions here concurrently. What is this folder for? Should I even be scanning this folder or should I exclude from A/V scan? Should I be *extremely* worried or just…

Does anyone know a way to discover which process is consuming most disk IO in Windows Server 2003? Think about a Terminal Services Windows Server that has more than 700 processes running. Performance Monitor and SysInternals Process Explorer provided some help in the past. Is there a tool like Resource Monitor in Vista ou Windows Server 2008 available to Windows Server 2003? Tks in advance. ps.: sorry my english.

Client OK but can't ping
by Guest dan- 8 replies
- 523 views
I'm trying to use Remote Desktop Connection to connect to a client (from the internet, not internal). If I use the client's IP address I succeed, but if I use the client's computer name I fail. Upon further investigation, if I remote into my server first (Windows Server 2000), then try to ping the client, it fails whether I use IP address or computer name. If I look in the forwarding zone of DNS on the server, the record correctly maps 192.168.1.212 to RWWS1, which is the client I'm trying to reach. Where should I look for the root cause of my problem (not being able to RDC to the client with the computer name). The client functions perfectly on the netw…

Pastel is on it with its SQL database component. 3) Win 2003 Server. I'm setting up Portal 2003 on here. SQL Enterprise is also installed here as Portal needs it I need to install and configure MOM 2005. On which server should be the most effective one. We do not have money for another box so it needs to go on one of these boxes. I read in the notes that MOM 2005 needs SQL to be installed with it. Seeing that 1) use a database of some sort as i understand it; 2) has allready a SQL component in…

W32time
by Guest John- 1 reply

I've just finished migrating NT4 Servers to Windows Server 2003 AD domain. There are no more NT4 servers in the network but Windows 2003 (Domain and Forest) still runs in interim mode. In this environment, there are some legacy NT4 (SP6a) workstation machines that aren't replaceable for quite sometime. Back in NT4 domain environment, I use W32Time.exe to sync with primary time server (NT4 PDC). Can I use w32time.exe to sync with Windows Server 2003 DC? The command "net time /set /y" works fine if I'm logged on as a user with permission to change system date/time. The problem is all users don't have (and can't have) permission to change time settings. I…

Service & Scheduled Task Passwords Not Being Retained
by Guest S Sainsbury- 1 reply
- 255 views
We had to do a system wide password change a couple of months back, as such we had to update some of the services that use domain accounts and also scheduled tasks. Since then every time there is a reboot or a service restart, the service or scheduled task will fail due to a logon failure. So again we reply the passwords and the service or scheduled task works............... But as soon as the service or server is rebooted, or in the case of a scheduled task, the next time its due to run, again it fails due to a logon issue. This has been ongoing for some months, and as you can imagine causes problems, we simply cant use the task scheduler now. …

File System / Directory Security
by Guest Mark- 4 replies

I have spent hours trying to accomplish this with no luck. Maybe someone in here has this implemented and could help me out. The concept here seems so simple, but no simple way to implement it..... I have a Windows Server 2003. I have a folder created called E:\Projects. I ONLY wand a few people to be able to create/modify/delete files and folders from within E:\Projects, but everyone else to have read-only access. Once there have been sub-folders created (by only a few designated people) in E:\Projects, everyone else can have full control of the sub-folders. In other words..... E:\Projects\: Everyone = read-only, allowed user(s) = ful…

2k3 adprep in 2000 Domain
by Guest John- 2 replies
- 316 views
Hello all: We currently have two 2000 Server boxes and will be getting a 2003 x64 soon. I understand that to join the new box to the domain I will need to run adprep. However, is it sufficient to run the adprep from the 32-bit media, as the adprep available o the the x64 CD will obviously only run on a 64-bit machine/OS. The only guide I could find implied that what was necessary for the joining of this new computer is to run adprep /forestprep then adprep /domainprep. Is this all that is necessary? Are there any better how tos on this issue? Thanks.
