Cannot find existing registry key
by Guest amcdiarm@gmail.com- 2 replies
- 326 views
We a Windows 2003 native domain, and want to set the timeserver to NIST. However, when we go to Hkey_local_machine\system \currentcontrolset\services\w32time\parameters to set the TYPE dword key: We cannot find it (As local admin, or domain admin). If we try to create the key, we get a message that the key allready exists - but we do not see it in regedt32 although we have the ownership of the w32time & subkeys/values Has anyone heard of not being able to view existing keys that they (theoretically) have rights to see? Thanks

We use to be a Novell network for years and years. For the past 5 years we were running 70 stations on Windows 2000 Pro with no issues. In March we switched over to a Windows 2003 server network. Our main DC we installed 64bit Windows 2003 SP2. All the stations stayed unchanged other than we had to create new profiles on the domain. All the stations ran fine for weeks then about a month after the switch over we had a handful of stations when the user's logged on a new profile was automatically created for them. When the server switch- over was done the new user profiles were all "U_Username", they did not show up as the usual "U_Username.domainname". When t…

Certificate Authority
by Guest Roberto- 1 reply

How do I do that? Thanks ===================================================== Hi Roberto: This is very complex: you need to ask the question again in the Windows Server 2003 newsgroup. Or rather: the explanation is very complex, the "principle" is quite simple... :-) You need to install the Verisign certificate as your Master Certificate. You then get each client to delete their existing certificate and go through the process of requesting a new certificate. This time, they will get a "Child" certificate of the Verisign certificate. Any outside authentication can then follow the chain of trust all the way back to Verisign, and will thus accept…

I'm running low on disk space on my C: drive which I typically reserve for the OS only. This server is our terminal server, and twice we've been below 200MB available. Do you know what the directory 'C:\WINDOWS\system32\spool\drivers\w32x86\3' is and why it's so big? My other servers have the same directory, but it's less than 300MB. Thanks!

Hello, I am trying to do an integrated installation of Windows 2003 Enterprice with SP2. I can install fine the operating system using CD1 with SP2 integrated into it.

If I use the original CD2, without SP2, I get: "Setup cannot continue because this product disk is incompatible with the service pack installed on this computer.

Peach Tree 2007 Server components?
by Guest Leythos- 1 reply
- 282 views
I have a server and although it's new and running all the same apps as the old server (Swing Migration), the new server is running PeachTree 2007 Server components. The server will hang a couple times a week without any warning and no log entries - can't get past Applying settings and most times the screen just freezes. I disabled the PT 2007 Pervasive Database service and didn't have any problems for several days, but, within 4 hours of enabling it, it hung the server again. Anyone running Peach Tree 2007 on a Windows 2003 Standard R2 server with SP2 installed? -- Leythos - Igitur qui desiderat pacem, praeparet bellum. - Calling an illegal al…

by Guest Jake- 2 replies
- 317 views
Hi, I'm in the process of renaming a domain from mydomain to mydomain.local. When I do a rendom /list I see that domainlist.xml's NetBIOS names are empty, except for the last record (ForestRoot) where I find: DNSName=mydomain and NetBIOSname=MYDOMAIN In my case, should I fill in NetBIOSname=MYDOMAIN in all four records and change the other fields from mydomain to mydomain.local? Thanks a lot for comments on this. regards Jake

Troubleshooting SNMP
by Guest Canuck geoff- 0 replies
- 276 views
I have two servers (Win2K3 SP1) identically configured for SNMP. They both have two different community strings. On one server an application is able to poll String A. On the other it can't. Checking the firewall the request passes towards the server but never comes back. From the firewall a test of String B works fine. We have double checked the community string is spelled correctly Netstat also confirms that port 161 is open. Nothing in the event logs. Is there anything else I can check to confirm the request is making it to the server and what happens inside? I was thinking netmon might show me the packets. Is there any value in recreating …
