DHCP Netsh export Fails
by Guest Jen- 4 replies
- 390 views
Im having the same issue as a previous post that was not answered(2003 Server) Another admin had tested doing an netsh dhcp server export on one of our dhcp servers. She then did an netsh dhcp import of the same data back to the same server, as she was testing that the active leases would still be available........(sigh) Now that its time to export and move the scope data to another server when I run netsh dhcp server export c:\dhcp all, I get an error "An attempt was made to load a program with an incorrect format" and a c:\dhcp.txt file with only one line "1K2W. So it seems that something got hosed up doing the previous export or import. Anyone …

Is it possible to move the windows updated files or other files in the c:\windows directory to another partition? A new customer purchased a server from Dell with a 12 GB primary partition. Now they have 2GB free, over 7 GB is the c:windows directory. The other big directory is c:\documents and settings. BTW they are running Windows 2003 sp2 with AD and Exchange 2003. Thank you for your help.

How to read minidump file.
by Guest Plasticman- 0 replies
- 243 views
Hi, I am attempting to read a minidump file and it says I have loaded the wrong symbols. I have downloaded the correct symbols from the Microsoft website and installed them. In the debugger I point to the symbol path but no matter what I symbols I point to after I run the debugger it says that my symbols are incorrect. I guess I need some instructions on how to use the debugger. I tried the knowledge base and attempted to do what it recommended but had no luck. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Steve -- Steve Systems Administrator PSI

ODBC Servername reverts to old servername once I click OK
by Guest Aaron J- 0 replies
- 249 views
Hi All, We're currently experiencing some issues with ODBC connectivity in Windows 2003. Basically when I define an OBDC String for example for SQL Server and populate the following details as follows: Select System DSN Click Add Select SQL Server Enter Name, Description and Servername e.g. SQLSERVER01 Then select TCPIP Test Connection OK Then after a couple of hours the SQL Servername loses the SQLSERVER01 and reverts back to the previous Servername of the above DSN Previously used and deleted. i.e. Servername reverts to: OLDSERVER in ODBC. Thanks in advance, Aaron Jumani.

Everyone Group
by Guest SuperPlay- 0 replies

Hi Folks Query relating to the "everyone group (Pre Windows 20000)." We have a Windows 2003 domain which was upgraded from Windows NT 4.0. I am aware under windows 2003 that the membership of the everyone was changed so that it no longer contains the token for anonymous. It seems that newly created users are no longer automatically added to the everyone group but they are added to the "domain users" group. However the "everyone" group is still the default group set on permissiosn tabs (Shares ETC) Question: So is it best practice to 1) Manally add all individual domain users to the "Everyone Group" 2) Clear all users from the "Everyone G…

Windows Server Standard vs. Enterprise
by Guest UWide User- 6 replies
- 485 views
Hello, I have installed Windows Server 2003 x64 Standard on a dual socket Quad Core Blade. My app administrator has already installed Sql 2005 Enterprise. Being that this is the first 8 core system I had ever installed, I forgot that Windows Server standard only uses 4CPU's while enterprise can handle 8CPU's. In this situation does this still hold true? Or is it the number of sockets that is important? Basically I would like to know whether I need to upgrade the OS and if so can I just do an in-place upgrade as we have production code on it now? Thank you for your help! ----------- Anyone who knows everything, leads a pretty boring life

WSUS 3 - showing computers but only one at a time
by Guest Ehren- 6 replies
- 508 views
Hello- I have a very strange issue that I have never seen before and wonder if anyone else has any experience with it. We have several computer labs here, each with 10-12 computers. We have a main domain, call it "maindomain" and then we have a separate domain for the labs ... call it "teaching". The WSUS server is in the maindomain and obviously the lab computers are in the teaching domain. In my head this shouldnt be an issue because you just configure the computers via group policy to point to the wsus server and it really doesnt matter what domain its in because its http (right?). To save myself dns hasstles I configured automatic updates via…

Hello all: I have a newly installed domain controller for a client of mine that I'm having a problem with, and am hoping I can get some good advice on tracking down the problem. This is for a small office, with about 8 computers total. This server is the first domain controller, as previously the network was set up with all stand-alone computers. It's a custom built box running Windows 2003 Small Business Server SP2. Hardware specs are AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core 3800+ with 2GB RAM. The problem I'm trying to solve is Event ID 1054 appearing in the Application Log every 5 minutes like clockwork, for the last few months now. Event Type: Error Event Source…

Access denied on a particular file
by Guest Muzzzy- 9 replies
- 655 views
Hi, I'm running a Win2003 R2 server with AD (at home for file sharing); yesterday i decided to do a backup by just copying the D: drive onto a 1 TB external drive. On one file it gave "Access denied" error and so far I can't find a way to get rid of it: 1. I'm running as a user with admin rights, but still i changed ownership of the file to myself - didnt help; 2. I checked if file is locked by a process (which would be weird as this file is not used - it's a part of an old archive) - none. 3. I ran couple of different antiviruses overnight - none 4. Ran chkdsk - didn't find any problems I need to note that problem exists if i try to do anything with…

To display all the shares given to others
by Guest ykffc- 3 replies
- 349 views
In a machine running Window 2003 server, I've created a dozen of shares from various folders of the local disk drives for other users to access. Say folderA, folderB, ... are shared. If all the folderA, folderB, ... are sitting under the root directory, I can see them quickly but what if they are not. I thought there must be some buildin Windows functions to show the location of all these shares but I can't find them. Do I miss something? thanks.

Windows 2003 Server: Questions regarding RDP, CALs
by Guest C. G.- 3 replies
- 356 views
Hi, I am looking into getting a Server running Windows Server 2003 for my heterogeneous office network. Intended hardware base is a Server + 'n' thin clients running embedded linux. There are already Linux Servers in the network. Q1: If I get the 5 client version of Server 2003 does that mean I can simultaneously connect from five independent thin-client sessions over rdp? Q2: Do I really need windows 2003 CALs at all if none of my desk machines use a windows desk-top? Answers greatly appreciated.

Drive Space
by Guest jcpub- 4 replies
- 441 views
When our server was set up in 2003 Drive C: was allocated 5.85GB. Over the years much of that space was used up and we are down to about 415MB. We have our databases and applications on Drive D:. I deleted the $NTUnistall* files except for the most recent and that broght the free space to about 1GB. The next morning the free space was back to about 415MB. The Veritas backup runs overnight but the space on C: that it uses is freed up upon completion. Any ideas why the free space would change so dratsitcally overnight? I could add another hard drive but I have heard that moving/expanding drive C: is not that simple. Thank you.
