by Guest JEFDEG- 1 reply
- 222 views
Hi, We are working on altiris with winpe2005. When we try to install or create images of clusters node with winpe, we got problems du to the detection of the SAN disks. The San disks are detected and are discovered beforew the local disks. Then when we try to make images, we got error "read disk operation failed" with the imaging software of altiris. when we look at the disk with diskpart, we can see that all San disks are unreadables!!! is it possible to desactive the discover of the SAN disks without breaking the connexion to the SAN? any idea? regards, -- JF DEGOUTIN

Mandatory Roaming Profiles SLOW (XP, win 2003)
by Guest d33tz- 4 replies
- 385 views
The logon process takes on average 90 seconds to complete. I am using folder redirection for everything except Desktop. We simply don't allow the user to update the desktop. This is for a small University, with 60 desktops, and a userbase of 1000 students. We have XP clients, connecting to a Windows 2003 DC. In ADUC the profile path for each user is: \\labcontroller\profiles$\%COMPUTERNAME% So each computer has its own mandatory profile, which allows us to mix and match hardware if needed. (i.e. 2 labs may not have the same type of hardware, or may not have the same type of software installed) I don't see any errors in my event log. When l…

This is an SBS 2003 SP1. The onset of this problem seems to coincide with installation of updates (not SP2, which has not yet been installed) a couple weeks ago. I find it both disconcerting and at the same time reassuring that my search for this topic turned up nothing...but here it is. Users printing some web pages to a network printer get only part of the text printed. Text in boxes or a different color, it seems, are missing--white space where there should be text. The print preview shows correctly. This is with various network printers and more than one kind of print server, although most are HPs with built in print servers, it is also happeni…

Automated System Recovery - Query

Hi I have a server which don't have a floppy drive. If I need to take a ASR backup and restore the same, how should I go about it ?? Since Floppy drives/disks are primitive day by day many new servers are shipped without these drives. Is it possible for me use device like Pen drive ?? I tried the other option of using External USB Based floppy drive. But this is not working. Can someone throw some light on how do I go about, and what is the best practice ?? with kind regards Rayees

Windows 2000 Print Redundancy
by Guest jsbarone- 2 replies
- 297 views
Hi, I have a Windows 2000 Print Server that serves roughly 100 Printers, 24 hours a day at the hospital I work at. I noticed that there is absolutely no redundancy associated with this print server, so in an attempt to avoid certain disaster should said print server fail, I've been researching into how to make it redundant. I've come across a few solutions---the most attractive being making it a print server cluster. I've done my digging, but can't seem to find a comprehensive step by step guide to taking my single non-clustered windows 2000 server box and making it a windows 2000 server box with redundancy should it fail *without having to rebuild the box…

SMTP on IIS5 vs. II6
by Guest vesago73- 2 replies
- 263 views
We have two servers in our DMZ. Server A is running Windows 2k3. Server B is running Windows 2K. Both of them have a small script that sends mail to an SMTP server internal to our network. On the Windows 2k3 server you can refer to the SMTP server using the Netbios name only. When you do that on the Windows 2k server the piece of mail goes out to external DNS and does a lookup on our domain then sends the mail in through our MX records which forces it to go though our Spam filters. If you specify the FQDN of the SMTP server on the Windows 2k server then the piece of mail goes straight to the SMTP server. Is there something in IIS 5.0 that requires a FQDN name ver…

Alternatives to Net Use
by Guest Smithers- 10 replies
- 545 views
I'm rewriting a small utility app that, amongst other tasks, copies files from the local machine to servers on the local network. The existing implementation executes a batch file that executes the "net use" command to map a drive to each destination server/share. The program then tests via "if (File.Exists())" to ensure that the mappings were successful. I'd like to find a better way to copy the files out to the servers... and eliminate the batch file and "net use" altogether if possible. Is there an easier way to map drive letters than via batch file and net use? Is there a way to copy files without mapping a drive letter at all? I'm developing thi…

Hiya all, I am gonna build a network and this is what its gonna look like(I hope), http://i16.tinypic.com/4rafpn7.jpg PC1 : Windows XP Professional PC2 : Windows 2003 Server PC3 : Windows XP Professional the big question I have now is the following, people here have already told me I should set up forwarders in my Windows 2003 DNS section, or just forget about using them and just stick with the root hints already in there. But my big issue with this is, my PC2 isn't supposed to be online all the time, its actually a fileserver that I occasionaly boot so I can transfer my files to. But the way people here suggested I set it up(like you can see in th…

Shadow Copies
by Guest Bartly- 0 replies
- 244 views
Windows Server Std. 2003 SP2 We have had shadow copies runniong for months now but I recently discovered they are being deleted except for a days worth. For example, when I checked this afternoon, I see a 7:00 AM and 12:00 for today and only the 12:00 from yesterday. The volume is on an iSCSI SAN and there is plenty of room. The volume has about 500 GB of data and we have allocated 100 GB for shadow copies. In the shadow copies properties on the volume it only reports 867 MB being used. Any ideas why our shadow copies history is gone and it is only keeping the previous days worth? Thanks

AD controller 2003 standard to enterpise

I have a DC that is currently running 2003 standard OS. I want to upgrade it to Enterprise. All other DCs are running 2003 enterprise. I would think I could simply do an os upgrade without disrupting AD. Can I just run the os upgrade or do I have do DCpromo to remove it from AD, upgrade os, and DCpromo it back? thank you Mitch
