Hello, I couldn't find a group for Longhorn (or 2008 server). I have a problem with Data Execution protection, whenever I open a web page that is a pdf file DEP closes internet explorer. There doesn't seem to be a way to stop this, if I add the Adobe programs as exceptions it still happens. Is there a way to turn off DEP?

Suddenly sluggish
by Guest JimG- 0 replies

My home desktop (2ghz Core Duo, 1gb ram) runs 2003 Server (mainly so I can use TS when traveling). It's a recent re-install of Standard Edition Sp2 and was working great. Suddenly (I'm sure I had something to do with it), certain functions have become very slow. Several examples: Invoking IE6 displays a partially built window for 15 seconds before loading my home page. It's a lattice-work of blue lines with the previous screen contents showing through during the pause. Invoking Eudora7 takes about the same time. Most other applications start up immediately. One peculiar one is that if I cut/paste between applications, the paste takes the same…

wireless problem after SP2

Hello, I am the not-so-knowledgeable-about-server-2003 network admin for a small charter school. I just updated to server 2003 SP2. All my students computers are wireless. If I log on as a domain admin on a student computer, no problem. If I log on as a student, the wireless connection will coneect and then drop, over and over again. Happens on more than one computer. Students have a different group policy applied to them. If I take the user out of the student group and make him a domain admin it works fine. Something in the student Group Policy? I have looked but nothing jumps out at me as possibly being the culprit. Please help, this is driving me crazy! …

Csrss.exe Memory Usage
by Guest MariusB- 1 reply
- 353 views
Hi There I hope someone here can help me, I have a client which started having a problem with his Exchange server a few days ago, where his store wouldn't mount after a reboot. This morning they could not get the store mounted manualy and I started investigating, the csrss.exe is using 560+ MB ram and the server has only 3GB physical and 8Gb page. At start up the server is running 6.5GB of ram, which is wrong,. I have reinstalled SP2 for server 2003 and Exchange 2003. Every time you try and start the Public or Private Store it gives me C1041724 and in the event logs , id: 9175 - MsExchangeSA Is there anything that I can look at.

Access Based Enumeration causing email link problems
by Guest Gunnertac- 0 replies
- 263 views
My file server is setup reasonably simple like this. \\server\root directory is where all permissions start. Employees are granted only Traverse Folder\Execute File and Liste Folder\Read Data permissions. This lets them get through to lower folders without being able to add/modify root level folders. At the next level folder employees have custom permissions which is Full Access checked and then edited in Advanced Security to remove Full Control, Change Permissions and Take Ownership. All other permissions are granted and nothing is denied. This gives the employees pretty much full access to that lower level folder and they can add, remove, modify...ev…

Unable to logon to a Windows Server 2003 system.

Hello guys I have a problem with a server in one of our remote sites. We normally connect to this server using VNC. for the last two weeks we are unable to log on into it, basically what's happening is that when you type your credentials (Username/Password) the system attempts to log you on but instead of loading the desktop, it takes you back to "press contrl Alt and Delete" window. All network shares can be accessed without any problems, is just the fact that we are unable to log on to the server that is presenting an issue. I have also tried Remote Desktop and reboot the machine but didn't work either. I there any way to solve this problem remotely (…

Remote access using Remote Desktop Connection
by Guest Tristan McElhinney- 1 reply

Hi, I'm posting this here, because I'm not sure it's an ISA problem, can't remote in locally either which someone told me was probably not an ISA problem then. I'm trying to remote into our Windows 2003 Standard edition server and can't get in. Have set up RealVNC and Remote Desktop Connection on identical servers in the past which have been running ISA04 on the same server with no problems. But this one installation is causing me all sorts of problems. I can remote in using the logmein.com software, but I need someone on the other end to send me an invite. The correct ports are open for both RealVNC and remote desktop and if I watch the monito…

It looks like the Windows 2003 SBS is locking up files and it wont release those files when you are done. At first I thought it was Excel misbehaving < see below > but the problem still exist even tho I rebooted the server. Any Ideals? Scott Burke OK. More information. I rebooted the server. The lockes were released. However, The First person in the files lockes that file. When they leave the file stays locked. The OS will NOT release the locks.

Share a Mapped Drive
by Guest Tocano- 1 reply

We have several rather simple NAS devices (specifically Terastations: http://www.buffalotech.com/products/network-storage/terastation/). Instead of having 15 different shares for our team and the users to remember (and remember what resources are on which one) What I want to do is create a single Windows file server that has a different share for each of these devices and simply acts as a passthrough. This will allow us to use this extra (RAID'd) storage while keeping the interface simple and consistent. Additionally, security is simplified/increased since: - we can put these devices on private IPs to ensure that they are only network accessible through …

Server install trouble

Hello all, While I was installing server on my system, I found a rather interesting development. While the system is still "collecting information" I get a DVD/CD device driver not found. I researched this throughout the past and into the Vista beta sites and found this to have been a problem before with Vista . I tried some of the so called work arounds, but still was not able to get past this. I am using an Asus P4C800 series mb, with an HP 840i DVD writer. The mb does have a Promise RAID feature, but I have disabled it, set it to ATI only, and run it as RAID. None of these options seem to work. I went to ASUS and downloaded drivers for w2k3 server an…

ADDUSER.EXE crashes
by Guest Robert Stokes- 1 reply

We are installing Windows 2003 Server Standard R2 onto a new machine for deployment into our network this weekend. No errors or issues on installation or general usage until we tried to run the Add New User wizard from the Server Management page when the system reports that ADDUSER.EXE has crashed. It mentions that it has been blocked by the DEP and we have tried turning this on and off without success. Thus we cannot create new users via this wizard. However... if you create a new user in AD Users and Groups it works ok so it's just related to the wizard functionality. Has anyone else had this problem and can they help us sort it by the weekend!? …

Basic WINS configuration question.
by Guest Purtech- 0 replies

I have two Server Standard 2003 R2 SP1 Domain Controllers. Lets say one Domain is xyz.com and the other lab.xyz.com. Full names: adminserver.xys.com and labserver.lab.xyz.com. A trust relationship flows from adminserver to labserver, but not the other way around. WINS was initially put on adminserver, then I started having errors that made me believe I needed WINS on labserver. Now both have WINS. DHCP exists only on adminserver and handles both domains. So...in the DHCP scopes do I make adminserver the Primary WINS and labserver Secondary? Does it matter? All the lab computer will wind up using adminserver as Primary WINS. Or should I install DHCP …
