Hi We have WSUS 2.0 today (Windows 2003 SP1 on all servers), but want ot upgrade to 3.0. I can't find much information on "how to upgrade". I have found the MS docs on how to install, but they say nothing on upgrade. Can you give me a clue how much work this is and what is the most important issues to be aware of? Do you have a upgrade document?

Hi! Some days ago we had a small problem with the NTFS folder rights on one of our 2003 servers. I dont want to go into detail now because its not important for my question. Here it comes: Do you know a program which can show me the NTFS folder rights of multiple folders? For example from a folder and all subfolders and files in it. I dont wanna edit them, just take a look at it. Thanks! Philipp Ritter

Printers not showing in "Find Printers"
by Guest GCS Tech- 4 replies
- 446 views
We are in an Active Directory scenario with Win2k domain controllers and 1 2k3 DC. It seems that, at random, when searching for printers in the directory, you'll see an incomplete list. The printers are accessible if you hit the print server directly (with an UNC path). We have 10+ sites, and over a hundred printers, so this feature is very useful to us. What could be causing printers to not appear in the list?

Windows Server 2003 Shutdown Event Tracker
by Guest atharsagri- 2 replies
- 217 views
Dear Experts, We were using Windows 2000 Adv server SP4 and we use to restart the server ever morning by a shutdown utility (shutdown -r). It was working fine and users were getting the fresh server every morning. Since we shifted to Windows Server 2003, this utility is not working due to the shutdown event tracker module. It prompts for the reason for the restart of the server. We want to avoid this so as our server restarts every morning as earlier. Any help guidence will be highly appreciated. Thanks. -- Athar Sagri

Print server failover
by Guest andreazannoni@gmail.com- 0 replies
- 187 views
Hi, I have a NT (sigh!) domain and 2 w2ksrv set up as print servers. My will is to set up them identically for failover: once the first goes down, changing the ip in wins table, I'd like to redirect the print trafic to the second. And so far no prob, I created the same spools with the same names in both the servers. The prob is that when I switch, it says "not allowed". I know that there is a known problem making this in 2003 (pointing a dns record with a name different from the server one)...is this the case? Or else, how can I do?

Profiles not migrating to new server
by Guest Innovations- 0 replies
- 207 views
I am trying to shut down a company's orignal server (001) and move to a new server (002). I have gone into group policies and changed all the folder redirection policies and I have changed their profile settings in AD to send their profiles to the new server. As best I can tell everything is telling them to save their My Docuemnts, etc. to 002 but looking at the file updates times it is apparent that they are instead still saving to 001

help with LimitLogin
by Guest Computerguy- 0 replies
- 207 views
We have setup and configured limitlogin (or so we think), but we still have users who can login multiple times, simultaneoulsy. The IIS server was installed without error, and the same with the AD partition. We can only think the vbscript is not being read or there is some kind of resolution problem. We also noticed our users are connecting to the domain controller acting as a backup instead of the DC where we configured the limitlogin partition. Any help would be appreciated as we are trying to avoid paying for Userlock. Thanks.

Hi All, When I click on the Processes Tab in task manager, I only see blank page. Also the numbers under Totals, Physical Memory etc under Performance Tab disapper. Other Tabs in task manager work fine. It seems to be related to some services I am running on the machine. If I stop these services, the task manager will become normal. But what could be the underlying cause? I need to run these services on the machine. I am remotely logging to a Windows 2000 server. But I observe the same thing with Windows 2003 server. Thank you very much in advance, A

Upgrade file server 2k to 2003 keep server name
by Guest Mike55- 2 replies
- 319 views
Hey All, I have a couple of Windows 2000 servers that are just file servers - roaming profiles, shares, etc. that I want to upgrade to new hardware running Windows 2003 and keep the server names. I already have a new Win 2003 server running and joined to my domain with a different name 'server1'. What are the steps I need to take to get this done? Do I just need to copy all the folders/files I want to keep to a 3rd device, rename the new server to take over the identity of the old server, and copy the folders/files to the new server? What file copy utilities are good for copying and maintaining rights? Robocopy??? Thanks, Mike

Hi, I have seen several of MSDN DVDs that contain multiple OS products. Upon booting from them, you get a choice of which OS to install. We reload OS all the time on our test beds when reconfiguring testing labs for different configurations. I would to be able to do something similar but with a USB drive. I would like to copy/add several bootable ISO files onto my USB drive, then boot from the USB and get a choice to load one of the ISO images for installations. Does anyone know of any way to do this? Thanks.
