I have a backup domain controller we want to demote, the problem is that the domain has already been disabled, we want to now demote this server and join it to a new domain. We get a message saying that it cannot demote because it can not contact the domain, join workgroup before demoting. but when you try to join work group the feature is grayed out, you ant remove it till it is demoted. Seems like a catch 22 situation. any ideas?

Permissions removed from domain controler, how to fix
by Guest ThatsIT.net.au- 8 replies

I have a problem where a windows 2000 domain controller has had its hard disk permissions changed. By default everyone has full access to files on c drive. Someone has changed this believing that it was a security risk. He removed everyone permissions and gave administrators full control, and users read and execute. At next reboot the domain controller would not function, it gives a error I can not remember at the moment, but to do with security and asks you to reboot in directory restore mode. You can not log in and they have forgotten the system restore password or it is not accepting it. My guess is that the system can not access files it needs. Wha…

RDP stopped working
by Guest Frank- 6 replies
- 508 views
For some reason, I can no longer connect to my domain controller using RDP. I can do so to any other server. From my workstation, if I attempt telnet <servername> 3389, I get no response. From the domain controller, if I attempt telnet <localhost> 3389, I get the response "...could not open connection to the host on port 3389. Connect failed..." Running netstat -a -o shows nothing using port 3389. I've done nothing to cause this port to be blocked on 3389 on this server. Anyone encounter this mystery? Even better: anyone have a solution to the mystery? Thanks!

by Guest Chris- 2 replies

We are implementing Server 2003SP2 with Windows Deployment Services. I have successfully installed and configured the server according to the Step-by-Step Guide for Windows 2003. I have been able to capture an image, and deploy it to several computers without any problems. However, there are a few computers that when they are booted to the network using F12, hang at a black screen with "OS Chooser v5.0" in the top left corner. After a few minutes, the screen will turn blue and be completely blank. Then nothing happens at all. I am not sure what may be causing this as the computers that "hang" at this point are exactly the same model of laptop, with ide…

In both default domain group policy and default domain controller group policy, I disabled 'Password must meet complexity requirements'. But why am I still not able to use a simple password when creating a user under User container on a domain controller? I don't have any OUs in the domain. I ran RSOP and it says something like ''The policy engine did not attempt to configure the setting". Yifei

Hot Swap SATA Drives Problem
by Guest David Owens- 3 replies
- 329 views
I'm trying to use a set of internal SATA drives for backups on Windows Server 2003 SP2. The SATA drives are in hot swap trays that can be inserted into a mobile rack. The rack connects to the motherboard using a standard SATA data cable. The drives in the trays seem to work fine, but I'm having problems getting them to be hot swappable. When I took out one of the trays and inserted another to format the hard drive in it, the system reset. What do I need to do to make this work? I was assuming SATA II drives and motherboard chipsets supported hot swapping. The board has an Intel 5000V (Blackford-VS) chipset and Enterprise South Bridge 2. The mobile rac…

I'm looking for a Server o/s that would provide a suitable front end to support ~ 10 Remote Web Workplace and VPN connections to take the load off a Win2003SBS box. At present remote users connect to dedicated local workstations using the RWW facility to use a major local busines appliction written in Access with forms embedded in the database. They also connect using the SBS VPN Connectoid to synchronise mail and off-line documents. The existing Dell 2400 is being replaced with a far more powerful IBM x3500 which leaves us with a perfectly serviceable server with no home. We would like to use this machine to support the remote users and dispense with …
