In "How to configure an authoritative time server in Windows Server 2003" (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/816042), found the following, but could not find where and how to configure it: All available synchronization mechanisms The "all available synchronization mechanisms" option is the most valuable synchronization method for users on a network. This method enables synchronization with the domain hierarchy and may also provide an alternative time source if the domain hierarchy becomes unavailable, depending on the configuration. If the client cannot synchronize time with the domain hierarchy, the time source automatically falls back to the time source that…

Login script and drive mappings
by Guest hrd2fnd- 2 replies
- 410 views
Having no experiance with scripting I thought I would ask for some help. I have this login script that maps 2 groups to the same drive letter depending on which group they are in. The problem is the users are in both groups and none of the drive mappings will map. I'm assuming that it is because of being in both groups that want the same drive letter. Can anyone give me some advice? Here is a pasting of the script. Thank you in advance Hrd Case "DEPT-xxxx_xxxx" WSHNetwork.RemoveNetworkDrive "W:" wscript.sleep 300 WSHNetwork.MapNetworkDrive "W:", "\\server1\xxx\xxx",True Case "DEPT-yyyy_GRP" WSHNetwork.RemoveNetworkDrive "W:" ws…

robocopy files created yesterday
by Guest Naruto- 3 replies

Hi, I want to robocopy files created yesterday (based on the "Date Modified" timestamp) It seems to me that the options /MAXLAD /MINLAD /MAXAGE /MINAGE are calculating based on 24 hrs timeframe. For example, if I use /MAXAGE:1 and robocopy at 3pm, I will get the logs from 3pm yesterday up to current time but not the logs at 2:59 pm yesterday. Please advise. Thanks in advance.

Application log Event ID 513 from CAPi2
by Guest Sejong- 0 replies
- 334 views
After the Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) role is added to a Windows Server 2008 server, running vssadmin list writers generates output that does not include System Writer and generates Event ID 513 from CAPi2 in the Application log. Text of this event: Cryptographic Services failed while processing the OnIdentity() call in the System Writer Object. Prior to adding the AD DS role, running vssadmin list writers generates output that does include System Writer and does not generate Event ID 513. Permissions on the Registration folder in the Windows folder (%windir%) are as shown below. In all cases the permission are shown under Special permis…

Boot issue
by Guest psalm19- 3 replies
- 501 views
I used System Commander to move free disk space from the d partition to the c partition. All seemed to go well except upon reboot the system goes through post and then just hangs...no errors just hangs...odd I know. I can get it to boot back into the OS if I boot from the System Commander CD and select "install generic MBR" from the available options. The system is then able to find the MBR and all is well. I contacted System Commander support and they didn't offer any useful help. I also ran "fix mbr" from the Win2003 CD which didn't fix the issue either. Got any ideas on how I can permanetly fix this issue without needing to reinstall?

Win2K3: Insufficient system resource exist

...to complete requested serivece. Dear Sir, I encountered this issue these days. My customer reported that their server met this situation after running our system for about 1 month. At that time, even taskman or notepad cannot open. Because we didn't open perf monitor at the beginning, it is hard for me to analyze the issue. Below is my 1st question: This error message indicate handle leak or memory leak? Another question is: I gathered some data by Process Explorer. I found that the sum of all private bytes of processes doesn't equal to the total comit charge. The total private bytes are only about 300MB but commit charge is as high as 1.3GB... I'…

Hi, I have been asked to come up with a checklist for junior techs who build out servers. We are concerned about hardening and using best practices to secure Windows servers. I am not authorized to run scans against the machines and thus I need them to have some form of accountiblilty. I suppose the closest thing I can compare it to is a paper audit. Anyway, any advice, template or suggestions would be helpful. Mitch

Spontaneous Reboot
by Guest hpoincare- 10 replies
- 881 views
Late model IBM Server Windows2003 Server standard SP2, almost all updates except for the ones dating back a week (or two). The server will go through the POST and then display Windows Splash Screen, then show progress messages; “Starting Windows”, “Applying Security”, “Applying Settings”.. – eventually showing the login (if lucky). But before login, the server will spontaneously shutdown/reboot. I was able to boot to safe mode just fine. No shutdowns/reboots at all in safe mode. The last error in the System event log before shutdown refers to the WSUS. Event ID 1010 “A process serving application pool Wsus Pool failed to respond to a ping” Next …

Laptops hang at "loading profile" after login w/ domain account...

- 767 views
Issue: Laptops hang at "loading profile" after login w/ domain account when not on the domain. OS: Windows XP SP3 Domain Controller OS: Windows 2003 x64 SP2 Details: Laptops login fine when connected to the domain. Recent Changes to Group Policy: none Recent Software Installations: none Other Recent Changes: I think DHCP and DNS was recently turned off on one of our servers. Possibly also the server role was changed so it is no longer a domain controller. We still have another domain controller running DHCP and DNS. I will try to confirm these changes with the techs and get more details. Also there have been many Windows patches lately. Possibly Relat…

Hello, in one network we have the following problem: users on workstations can't use "save as" with any application such as Word, Notepad, Adobe PDF standard, to a 2003 R2 Server (no active directory). In this case the application hangs. All other functions, such as copy, delete, save ..., are working well. This happens on all clientcomputers in this enviorement. I tried it also with administrator-rights for this users. Has anyone a idea to solve this problem? Thanks in advance!
