PDC - BDC Conflicts
by Guest Jean Paul Mertens- 15 replies
- 667 views
Hello to all, I have a problem with a BDC (windows 2000 server) who does not see that the PDC (SBS 2000) is back on-line. I have got my PDC crashed,and for some reason the NT-Mirror had stopped some time ago. I have taken the PDC out of the network, and the BDC took over the security with no problem. I have put my (early stopped) mirror disk as master and restored alle backups so that the PDC is ok. I have put the PDC back in the network and had to disconnect (temporary set them to workgroup) all workstations and servers from the domain and then reconnect them to the domain. So far so good until I tried to do the same with my BDC but he keeps saying th…

Cannot access web page by name due to too many group memberships
by Guest Arjan Schel- 7 replies
- 537 views
Hello, I'm not sure where to post this message, because it has to do with more then one specific area. We have users who belong to more than 300 groups. These users are having trouble to access certain corporate intranet websites by dns name. When we try the same pages through ip-address it works. When we remove some groupmemberships from the user, it also works. We've seen this with more users here (even with myself). This only happens when the webpage checks my account, for example sites that need to check my identity, to show my personal page.. This happens on IIS systems and Apache windows servers. We first thought of the MaxTokenSize registry value,…

dear all Recently rolled out 2003 sp2. It seemed to install without a hitch. This was our RIS server and working fine it is now obviously a mixed mode WDS server. however when i try and activate the server in the Wiindows Deployment Services MMC it fails with ACCESS IS DENIED. Nothing immeidiadatly apparant in event logs. when i look at the Remote Install\Advanced tab in the properties of the server (where all my images were listed) it says "Unable to Enumarate images on the Remote Instalation Server. the server may not be accessable at this time" I am logged on as administrator, Administrator is a member of domain Admins The server itself is a…

Missing Domain
by Guest Craig- 1 reply

Hi Guys, I have a problem on a Windows 2003 SBS server. The server services stop respond to requests and when I attempt to login the domain is missing from the login box. It's strange I am unable to login due to the missing domain on the login box and services like DHCP fail to reply to requests. Anyone seen this before? Cheers Craig

Moving an Enterprise Root Certificate Authority
by Guest Baboon- 3 replies
- 306 views
I have an Enterprise Root Certificate Authority running on a Windows 2000 Standard, SP4 domain controller. I would like to move it to a Windows 2003 Enterprise R2, SP2 domain controller in the same domain. I don't know it it's as simple as exporting and importing the configuration; it seems that it might take more than that since it is AD integrated and it will be on a server with a different name. Can someone point me to an article and/or advise? I found an article on moving an NT 4 CA, but I don't want to assume the steps are the same. Thanks.

Win2k3 SBS Dial up connection
by Guest chu2ch@gmail.com- 2 replies
- 316 views
Good Day, I have set up a 2k3 SBS and i am wondering, is there a way to set up a dial up connection on the server to only connect to the internet when internet resources are requested from client computers? ie. When a user opens a browser on their PC, the server will then dial up to the internet, and when the user is finished ( or all users are finished) the dial up connection will be dropped. Unfortunately we do have to use dial up connection as our area isn't served with high speed internet as of yet. I thank you for your responses. Sincerely, Chris Nickel

I'm admin on a single domain with 100 XP clients and I've been getting a new error when trying to run windows update on individual clients.

I click custom. 1st message I get is 0x8DDD0018 The site cannot continue because one or more of these Windows services is not running: • Automatic Updates (allows the site to find, …

How Do I Change the Computer's SID without Reboot?
by Guest Chris Allen- 0 replies
- 246 views
Hello all, Is it possible to change a computer's SID without restarting? More specifically... What I'm trying to do is this. I'm trying to come up with a way to do a bare metal restore on Windows. I've written a program that saves the all of the file metadata (attribs, sacls, dacls, mod time, etc) for all the files in the filesystem to a single file which is backed up to another computer. Basically this is like running SetACL or FileACL recursively and telling it to dump all the information to a file and then copying this file elsewhere. The problem I'm having is on restoration. I'm booting up a BartPE boot disk, copying the files back and then applyin…

Using VISTA RDP on Server 2003
by Guest JOHN HARRIS- 1 reply
- 209 views
I use to be able to connect using an XP desktop with no problem to our servers using an RDP connection. Now, running VISTA Ultimate, I can connect but do not see all of the items I need. For example, I can see the routing groups on exchange but cannot alter users. I know this is related to admin privileges, but I am running RDP with admin rights with no luck. I occasionally get a log error that states I am either (1) using a version earlier than VISTA (which I am...using server 2003), or (2) using RDP layer. Any ideas how to fix this?

Win2k3 server sp2
by Guest mmark751969@yahoo.com- 4 replies

just wondering if there are any issues with windows server 2003 service pack 2. I have one AD domain with 3 domain controllers on server 2003 with no service packs on the DC's. The server i want to upgrade is a member server running sql server 2000. The other applications on it are dell openmanage, arcserver backup agent, adaptec storage manager, and visual C++ 6.0. Just wondering if win server 2k3 sp2 plays nice with all of those. The release notes don't say anything about them. Thanks
