Hello, I am trying to get Microsoft ADS v 1.1 to work in a test environment. I have the ADSMASTER server with all the ADS applications and DHCP running, it is running Windows 2003 R2. I have another server that has Windows 2003 and some applications that I wanted to capture. I created the device for this new server and specified the MAC address. It shows up in the ADS Admin as "Windows Connected". I also ran the script to create the jobs based on the sample scripts. Whenever I run the capture image job on my device it reboots the server that I want to image but this server then just boots back up on his hard drive and into the OS. I have also tried the re…

Disk Quota shows wrong results > files owned by Admin & not the us
by Guest Jason Lehman WC- 0 replies
- 196 views
I have a file server that houses all our users folders (home folders.) When we get a new users, I have to logon to the file server & create a folder, setup share/security. The problem in doing that is, the file created is owned by the Admin; since that is how I am logged on. When I look at disk quota, the Admin account is shown for using up space that should be credited towards the users. I have inherited this domain & would like some ways to... 1. Set ownership up on curent & new files/folders so users own their own folders, not the admin. We have too many users to do this manually. 2. Create a policy that when a new user is created, a home fold…

W2k3 R2 - MMC could not create the snap-in
by Guest desperado98@googlemail.com- 4 replies

I've just added the WINS server role to the DC we have and I get the following error when trying to open the WINS snap-in: "MMC could not create the snap-in" The other DC has also had the WINS role added and the WINS snap-in works just fine. I even copied the snap-in from the working DC to the non-working DC to see if that would make any difference (in case it was a corrupt snap-in) but I get exactly the same results. A search around only produced fixes for errors on Vista. This Windows 2003 R2. Any suggestions?

Best way to secure
by Guest Dragon- 2 replies
- 258 views
Hi, We are planning on setting up some 'regular' account password security and audits.This is a test lab to come up with some test config. In this config all users will be required to change their passwords every 30 days and other usualy audit settings. This is all good for all users except that I will have some service accounts that I do not want to apply this to. What is the best way to handle these exceptions? Thanks.

SP2 compatibility issues
by Guest Eric- 0 replies

Article 926031 states that Windows Server 2003 SP2 has a compatibility issue with Exchange 2003 OWA and refers to another article (841560) for a resolution to the problem. From 841560 I infer that the fix is only for SP1. Is there any update to 841560?

Performance monitor for Windows 2003 server
by Guest yvette.ye@gmail.com- 0 replies
- 224 views
I have been monitoring a server with 4 G RAM, 4 CPUs, the disk: is at a 14 SAN RAID 5 disk group, I have setup the alerts, the following are some of the performance counters show in Event Log, I have some questions about them: 1) Counter: \\servername\Process(msmdsrv)\% Processor Time has tripped its alert threshold. The counter value of 792.187223329792 is over the limit value of 99. my question is: How is possible a CPU% is over 100%? Is it because there are 4 CPUs and it shows as 8 CPU instants in Windows, and number 792 means 792% when it sums up for 8 CPUs? 2) Counter: \\servername\System\Processor Queue Length has tripped its alert threshold. The c…

I set up a new file server and I'm trying to access the C$ drive. I have added the domain admin account with Full access to the drive. When I try to access it with that domain admin login, I get the following error: \\server\c$ is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this network resource. Multiple connections to a server or shared resource by the same user, using more than one user name, are not allowed. Disconnect all previous connections to the server or shared resource and try again. ---- I checked the server and I do not have any open sessions. Any ideas???

Product activation error 1000 code 80070002
by Guest Marcus Bentley- 0 replies
- 288 views
I have a remote domain controller that has been in place for around 2 1/2 years that suddently a little after midnight this morning started coming up with this error. It is installed with a volume license media, with the same product key as around 60 other servers on the same network. I don't want to jump in doing stuff as the server is a fair distance to get to if I do something to trully stuff it up. Not excluding the fact that there is around 500 GB of user data to restore if it goes wrong. Does anyone know what causes this kind of issue? Event Type: Error Event Source: Windows Product Activation Event Category: None Event ID: 1000 Date: 21/08/20…
