New file won't inherit folder's security settings
by Guest Janet- 2 replies
- 300 views
I know permissions can be confusing. But I'm at a loss as to how to deal with our problem. New files saved to a folder are readable only by the creator, when we'd like them available to all users. Here's a description: Bob and Betty are members of the Users group. The server (running Server 2003) has a folder called "CompanyDocs" which is shared as "Docs". The "Docs" sharing permission: Everyone -- Full/Read/Write. The security on the Docs folder is: Administrators -- Full/Modify/Read&... (everything is checked except special) Users -- same as Administrators above Allow inheritable is unchecked Now we drill down several leve…

Setting up a new CA server /removing the old one
by Guest bay-br- 0 replies
- 236 views
In brief, we have a CA services (AD integrated)installed on a machine that might get removed off the network. Now, we have issued a few server certificates (for web access) and certs for EFS usage. We dont' want anything in the windows domain to break by removing this box. What I am planning to do: 1)Installa new Ent CA in the network (possible?) This will be the only CA in the domain eventually. 2)Revoke certs issued by old CA server 3)Issue new server certs (web access) using th new CA 4)If all is well, uninstall the old CA. My assumption is that the existing CA server is only used for EFS and server certificates. Is this feasible? Will I majorly break…

Performance monitor for Windows 2003 server
by Guest yvette.ye@gmail.com- 0 replies
- 261 views
HI...I am monitoring a server in performance monitor, and here is what I found: there is a client/server application: client - app server - SQL server, when the client run a function of the application, the CPU at the App server climbs up to 25%, and stays for about 5 minutes before the client can see the result. During the period, the memory, disk counter at the App server and SQL server are all low, except the CPU at the APP server maintains at 25% for 5 minutes. My first question is why the CPU not jump up to 100% and finish at a shorter time? My further test is that I have two clients running the same application, surprisely, the CPU is still at 25%, but…

Unable to see DLT7000 device on ntbackup
by Guest andre_rosenthal@hotmail.com- 1 reply
- 202 views
Yall My DLT7000 is correctly installed and I see the free media allocated. Once I start ntbackup it asks me for preparing the media since it was used on a different computer. Once that is done, I try to use the tape but, alas, the backup tab only allows me to use file (grayed out). As a consequence I am left without the capabilities to do a backup. System is WS03SP2R2 and I was able to run a full backup a day ago. Anyone has a clue on how to re-enable the usage of tape on ntbackup? Cheerio

What Can Be Blocking Our FTP?
by Guest razor- 7 replies
- 518 views
Hello-- We are in the process of migrating our IIS server from W2K3 to W2K3 64-bit and we cannot figure out why we can no longer ftp into the new IIS server from within the same subnet? the FTP service is started, and the FTP Sites is started in IIS. From a command prompt, if I enter in "ftp <server IP address>" we get a messages that says connection refused by remote host. If we try to use an FTP program, the connection just fails. I used the 'netstat -an' command on the IIS server and it shows port 21 is listening. Any help would really be appreciated.
