- 175 views
Hello. I´ve two windows 2003 std DC. This two DC are DNS servers of the lan. One of the servers has Exchange 2003. At 5 days ago i´ve done an upgrade to 4 GB (maximum supported by windows 2003 std) to the server with Exchange 2003, and since that the server hangs, and do not generate any error in event viewer. The system freeze. All the client computers are Windows XP Professional, and are configured by DHCP and know the 2 DNS. When the server with Exchange 2003 goes down, i´ve problems with users authentication (logon). I think the other server should kepp users authentications and computers working ok in the lan, but when users try to logon, the…

2.7TB RAID Volume can only partition 2.1TB
by Guest cmcnamee@gmail.com- 6 replies
- 472 views
Hi Folks, I admit I am most likely doing something wrong. I have a new server with 2.7TB RAID 5 volume (spread among 7 500GB disks), I have a 100GB NTFS boot partition and a 2TB NTFS data partition. I have 743GB of unallocated space left within the RAID container that is recognized by the windows Disk Management utility. If I right click the 743GB of unallocated space the create partition option is grayed out. If I delete the 2TB data partition I see two sections of unallocated space (2TB & 743GB) rather than one large section unallocated space. Could anyone point me to what I am doing wrong here? -Curt

2000 printer driver on Server 2003R2
by Guest Magoo- 3 replies

Is it ok to install a win2k print driver on a windows server 2003r2? the printer is very old and the company is no longer updating the print driver - i do not want to introduce any sort of instability to this server. i am under the impression that win2k and win2003 are similar enough that you can use the print drivers released for win2k on the 2003 server, correct? thanks for your comment. magoo

I've setup a Windows 2000 Server as a domain controller. I've setup the Domain Security Policy to capture logon/logoff, setup audit policy, and several other items. None of the events are being captured in the Security Event logs and I can't figure out why Thanks. DSJ

2000 to 2003 upgrade breaks my IIS
by Guest zooeyhallne- 1 reply
- 218 views
Hi Everyone! I hope someone can give me some advice on an IIS issue that happened with a 2000 to 2003 server upgrade. I had several websites running on my 2000 server, and everything working fine. Then, I did an in-place upgrade to 2003 server (std) and now my websites will not work. The client brings up an http 500 error when it tries to go to the page, and the server logs an error: "Event ID 10004 DCOM got error Logon failure: unknown username or bad password and was unable to logn \IWAM_computername in order to run the server". I did some checking on this error, and confirmed that IWAM_computername has logon as batch job right in the local pro…

2003 - recognizing plug-in USB devices a la XP ?
by Guest +Bob+- 4 replies
- 285 views
I'd like to be able to load photos from cameras & such directly on to my win2003 (Enterprise) server. However, while it recognizes the devices properly at plug in (and loads drivers), they don't appear in the Windows Explorer for drag-n-drop use. Is there someway to get them to appear without loading device specific software? In XP, it works just fine, but 2003 seems to be acting more like win2000, where you had to load the manufacturer's software to access the device. I don't need XP's hand holding, I just want a raw drive to drag-n-drop to. I prefer to keep the server very clean and do not want to load application software on it if there is any way to a…

2003 & Sharepoint
by Guest Joe K- 1 reply
- 230 views
Hi folks, I have a few questions about implementing Sharepoint on a 2K3 server. I have a network that will be using 2K3 server for File/Print services. They have an NT 4.0 DC that is going to go away. Also there is a Scalix mail server that will be kept on the network due to all listserv info etc that is already in place, so SBS ins not needed which I know has Sharepoint ready to go on it. Basically, they are going to need an intranet page to share information. There are about 18 users. Questions: 1. Does Win2K3 Server come with Sharepoint (on Standard or Premium R2)? 2. Do I need separate CALs for it or does 2K3 CALs cover it? 3. Are there any other …

Prepping to install 2003 sp2. I attempt to backup the server config using Windows Backup.

Hi, I have a very small business with 5 client computers running on windows 2003 prem. All but one of the client computers have no problems. Suddenly one of the client computers won't print or access the internet. Interestingly, the network computers are listed but fail to print but as experiment I tried to browse for them on the network but got error saying no printers found. when I try to browse with explorer error says to check connection which seems to be OK - I can explore mapped network drives OK etc. please forgive me but I am beginner and don't understand what has happened and how to fix it. I don't think it is a User issue as the same user can logon to…

2003 DC hangs at applying computer settings
by Guest MSNewsgrp- 2 replies
- 271 views
I have a strange problem. 1 of 2 DCs (not the PDCe or FSMO) rebooted/crashed yesterday and it looked like a power failure as the reason came up unknown and there were no errors/warnings in event log. I also checked the HP logs as this is a Proliant server ML350. I removed the network connection and it booted up OK- notwithstanding the expected errors. I was able to start the sevrices manually and get the DC online. Now I am trying to find the problem. I am leading towards a GP cause. The only possible issue was that it had been pointing to itself as the time source and not the PDCe. I corrected that but didnt reboot yet as I am letting it …

2003 DC reboots on preparing network connections
by Guest cptkirkh- 0 replies

One of my DCs reboots itself on "perparing network settings". When i try to go into safe mdoe it locks up on the Advanced Windows Optiosn screen and I can't choose safe mode. I have booted in Wininternals ERD to read the event viewer to see what has happened and it tells me nothing. Is there anyway to fix this or to at least see what happens? I even went in and diabed the NICs in the bios but it still reboots on the server.

2003 enterprise server keeps rebooting with BugCheck 50, {ffffbff8, 0, 8089b522, 0}

Hello - I have a citrix server (PS 4.0 enterprise) running windows 2003 SP1. This system has all of a sudden started rebooting on it's own... Originally, the reboot was blaming UPHClean, so i uninstalled it and it still is rebooting randomly... I cannot pinpoint the reboot - it seems to happen when someone either logs off a session in citrix, or opens a session... I cannot pinpoint exactly what's going on to make the reboot occur... this is the most recent bug check (any help would be GREATLY appreciated - let me know if you need more info too): Microsoft ® Windows Debugger Version 6.6.0007.5 Copyright © Microsoft Corporation.

2003 file server with Backup Exec hangs
by Guest Paul Welsh- 0 replies
- 236 views
Hi all I have an HP DL380 G4 with 4 GB RAM running Windows 2003 SP2 Standard running Backup Exec 11 with an attached Quantum autoloader. The autoloader is connected via an LSI Logic PCI-X Ultra320 SCSI controller. I see the driver is dated 1/10/02. All was going well until I added direct attached storage to the server in the shape of an HP StorageWorks Modular Smart Array 60 containing 5 x 250 GB SATA disks in a RAID 10 configuration (one disk is a hot spare). The controller for this is a PCI-X HP Smart Array P600 SAS / SATA Storage Controller. I upgraded the memory at the same time to 4 GB from 1 GB. The SATA drives are used by other servers to back…

I have a windows 2003 member server on a separate subnet and site from our 2003 domain controller. last week I demoted a windows 2000 server that had issues with active directory. the member server at the other site was working fine. now my 2003 member server at the other site will not hand out dhcp addresses, says it is not authorized. when I access DHCP on this server from the domain controller at the first site, it shows red as unauthorized, but when I try to go to authorize it, it only allows me the option to UNauthorize it, and will not let me do even that. in Event Viewer on the member server I get an Userenv error, event 1053: Windows cann…

2003 Migration to new server
by Guest Ted- 1 reply
- 245 views
I am upgrading our 2003 DC with a brand new box soon. The current server is going to retire and I want to migrate all the roles to the new box. I have done this before but I wanted to see if there were any tools that could simplify what I need to do. The old box is running 2003 as the only DC in the forest with 1 domain. It is running SQL, being used as a file and print server, and running a few other proprietary apps which I can migrate easily. After I build the new server and promote and transfer roles, I was curious if there were an easier way to migrate file and folder shares and also move the printers to the new server as the old server will r…

2003 or 2008 server
by Guest vdz- 4 replies
- 375 views
Hi all Now I have an option to choose either 2 X 2k3 or 2 X 2k8, one for DC and one for Exchange 07. I have never got hands on 2k8 and I am willing to learn too. With 2k3 I am comfortable with this. Currently we have 1x 2k3 AD DC. So please tell me what would you pick? and why? One more question: at the moment we have Lock out GPO in place and set in Domain and apply to every users including Administrator (me), we can't exclude the administrator in Wins 2k3 server, but I have been told that it can be done in Wins 2k8. Can we still exclude the adminstrator from Lockout GPO in mix environment 2k3 and 2k8? Many thanks in advance

2003 PerfMon Counters AWOL
by Guest Adrian- 3 replies
- 577 views
All, Got a strange one on a Win2k3SP1/Exch2k3SP2 server. All of the Performance Monitor/WMI counters appear to have lost their labels. If I fire up PerfMon, I get nothing on the initial graph. If I try to add a counter, I get a choice of Performance Objects, each of which contains a number of individual counters... but they're all only identified by numbers. I can't actually add any of them to the graph. I can add counters from other machines to PerfMon on this machine fine, though. Admin Tools/Computer Management/Services & Apps/WMI Control/Properties gives me the correct details. I've tried running Exctrlst.exe from the Support tools, and it c…

2003 Print Server - Print To File
by Guest TEK- 1 reply
- 226 views
I have a windows 2003 server that I would like to use as a print server. I want to "print to file" but do NOT want to have to choose a filename EACH TIME. I have a script that moves the file FROM the server to another location to be printed from a unix system but I need to NOT have users have to provide a filename when connecting. I'd like it to be a default filename. NOBODY ANYWHERE has any idea, even Microsoft Consultants working with us.
