Hello everyone. I could really use some help here. I know the description is long. But I'm trying to give as much info as I can. Please help! I have a win server 2003 sp2 with a bunch of winxp client machines. I have active directory running.

I wanted to create a intranet system with using internet explorer so users can simply browse with links to all the various things that they need. I created the web pages and they are working fine. Internet information service has been…

OK, I did a new install of 2003 R2 from an ISO on a VM and I did not have the ISO of disc 2 handy until now, after I've applied service pack 2 and all high priority updates. When I cancelled the prompt continue setup with disc 2, what did I miss, and how can I resume the setup now that I have disc 2? Thanks!

Help me plan this domain!
by Guest Artificer- 2 replies
- 283 views
I got a customer with a central office and 30 branch offices. Those offices have from 1 to 20 users. The branch offices are connected to the central one using frame relay lines, some with 128K and some (the bigger ones) with 256K. They use some windows servers and some Unix Servers. All the servers are located in the central office basically to host web or dump terminal applications. They tell me that so far they are happy with the speed response from the network. They are asking me to install a couple of domain controllers in the central office in order to implement a domain for the entire organization. The only domain features they are looking are central …

Aply Service pack 2 for Windows Server 2003, again, and again?
by Guest just bob- 1 reply
- 247 views
Going back to the Windows NT days, we used to run Service pack install again anytime you install a windows component. So if I install server 2003 R2 and download and install all critical updates, and later decide I need to install terminal services or other windows components/applications, should I run Service Pack 2 again and then critical updates again? I guess it couldn't hurt but I would like to know if that is still necessary or did the service pack replace all the component install files which have been changed? Seems the latter is not possible but I am not sure. Thanks!

Hello! My DHCP Server logs the Event 1020. The Eventdescription states, that all of the IP Addresses in the Scope are in use.

I did lookup the Registry under(HKEY_Local_Machine\SYSTE;\CurrentControlSet\Services\DHCPServer\Parameter) but i didn't find an suitable Parameter to adjust. Thanks for you help in advance. Hans

default.otm file getting 'not found' on the new 2003 server
by Guest vbrouss- 0 replies
- 196 views
I received the following message from one of my application support users: "We have a file, default.otm, that is 'not found' on the new server. It's located here: http://www.doa.louisiana.gov/ois/Human_resources/default.otm. It worked on the old windows server, but, not on the new. I suspect the the new server is not set up to allow .otm extensions. Can you check on that for me please? If that's not it, I really don't have a clue. I know the file exists, because, I can open it from our g: drive." The new server is win 2003 enterprise and the older server was win 2k enterprise. I thought it might be an IIS issue where I had to name the document under set…

Server 2003 image creation
by Guest Chris- 7 replies
- 508 views
Hi, I have used Acronis Image Server before to create a complete image of a server, which I then recreated a RAID and put the image back on top successfully. Does anyone else out there know of any other more cost-effective solutions as Acronis can be a little pricey. Any ideas welcome, but all I need to do is create an image of a HP ProLiant DLxxx server as a RAID 1, recreate the RAID and then put the image back on top of the new RAID set. Also, if this image is transferrable to another different hardware (like Acronis Universal Restore option) then please again let me know. Thanks Chris

I have been receiving the following error message on my Windows Storage Server 2003 R2 many, many times every morning this week: "Faulting application localagent.exe, version 0.0.0.0, faulting module localagent.exe, version 0.0.0.0, fault address 0x00029b2f." I purchased a HP Proliant DL100 G2 about a year ago, and up until now it has been working just fine. It has been in production for over 7 months and this has not been an issue until just this past Monday morning. Over the weekend I made a number of changes, and now the process localagent.exe is throwing alot of errors into the application event log that aren't very helpful. I also get numerous pop-u…

Ntbackup

Hi all. I'm using Windows Ntbackup to backup my data (system state and office documents) on DLT and Ultrium (with windows 2000 server and windows server 2003) and all my test restores are always working perfectly. Today, browsing the Internet I found this article: http://www.windowsnetworking.com/articles_tutorials/New-Improved-NTBACKUP-Program.html where the author write: "My point is that NTBACKUP has never been completely reliable. You can use it to back up a system, but if you ever have to restore anything other than a few individual files, you never know what you are going to get." Do you agree with this article or do you think that windows ntb…

Unable to retrieve server list from <master browser>: 64
by Guest J Meyer- 2 replies
- 266 views
Hi, I was getting browser error 8021 and 8032 in my system log and then my Windows 2003 std sp2 server would lose communication and have to be rebooted. Not sure if it's related, but when I later tested with browstat status from that machine I would get (on average) 10 successful results and then a result with the line above (the master browser it was using was also the domain master). I moved the FSMO roles to another DC and then ran browstat status and received successful results from the new Domain Master Browser every time (I ran it at least a couple hundred times.) My questions: 1. Do you think the 8021 and 8032 errors and the browstat error were …
