Server 2003 - DNS - http triple slash
by Guest Matt- 0 replies

Hello, I run a network of about 60 Windows 2003 servers. Each one runs a local caching only DNS (Microsoft DNS). They are used for monitoring web pages and each uses IE7 to load up web pages and verify the site is working. Lately we have been experiencing an issue where IE7 will no longer display websites. The symptoms are: IE7 will load Enter URL URL domain lookup fails Tries to redirect to friendly search suggestions Fails Address bar shows "http:///" No page is loaded This problem is intermittent on various servers with various levels of patching on different networks. None are associated with a domain or have any AD requirements. To fix this pr…

Hi, I have an internal domain, in the format vpr.univ.edu. There is a web server on this domain that can be reached on the web by its name red.vpr.univ.edu. I removed this webserver red, from the domain vpr, and made the ip address of red point to http://www.vpr.univ.edu (instead of red.vpr.univ.edu). I now have a problem. I am able to reach red from any computer outside the vpr domain using the URL http://www.vpr.univ.edu. But from any pc inside the vpr domain, I still have to use the url red.vpr.univ.edu I removed red from the DNS server for vpr.univ.edu, also from the hosts file. What do I need to do to make pc's within the vpr domain refer to red u…

2003 Server Boot issue
by Guest Joe- 3 replies
- 326 views
I have a Windows 2003 server that was powered down gracefully for some building maintenance over the weekend. I went to start it up today and it will not boot normally. No patches were applied to it prior to shutdown. The server will boot in Safe Mode with Networking/Command Prompt without issue, but booting normally I get the Windows 2003 boot screen with the travelling eye so it looks like it is booting but is just hung. I have let it go for as long as an hour without getting anywhere. I have gone in and used msconfig, but any of the options results in more of the same. I need to get this server up and running again. Any ideas would be appreci…

I am trying to run windows update and a brand new install of SBS 2003. I was trying to add the update sites to my Trusted site list, but no matter what I try to add, I get an invalid wildcard error. I get the error even when I don't have any wildcards in the address. On a lark, I tried to add local sites to the local tab and even some to the deny tab, always the same error, you have entered an invalid wildcard sequence. What gives? Any ideas. This is on a brand new HP Proliant server. It has 4 GB of ram and plenty of room on the hard drive. PS: I also can't get WSUS to load. It installed okay, but when I'm in the sever management console, the screen say…

How to install 3rd party SSL domain ceritificate on local servers
by Guest Library Sysadmin- 7 replies
- 538 views
Windows 2003 R2 servers. Domain name is in a form such as mydomain.local We have Certificate Authority installed on a server and have been issuing self-signed certificates for a few services, such as OWA. Our web site is outsourced to a web hosting company. Registered domain is in a form such as mycompany.org. They have purchased a 3rd party domain certificate for use with the site. I want to install the domain certificate for use with a couple of services, such as Exchange 2007 services and VPNs. The web hosting company sent me two files, domain.crt and domain.key. Being a domain certificate, I guess I thought it would just be a certificate I co…

Group Policy and Windows Vista
by Guest jsimmons- 0 replies
- 226 views
Good afternoon all, The organization I work for is currently in process of starting a wider roll-out of Windows Vista to the entire company. I'm running into a question with power management options through group policy - I've got just about everything set, however I can't find anything on setting the Power Savings Mode for Searching and Indexing. Any kind of Internet search directs me to the policy options for search settings, none of which have anything to do with power management. Any ideas or suggestions? Thanks! Joe

Hi All… I am running a production Windows Server 2003 SP2 on C:\ with Exchange 2003 installed on E:\ when the E:\ drive was full in the morning and has 0 bytes free space! I tried to free and delete or move some files but they appear shortly after I do that again and no changes in the size appeared. After restarting the sever, I start to get this error: E:\ is not accessible. There is not enough space on the disk. Also the Exchange services and some other service couldn’t start. This drive E:\ has all the Information Store and the files!!! Any idea how to resolve this? Thanks -- Aws awsok@yahoo.com

storCenter Pro 150d: Unable to access Shares anymore after migratingdomain to w2k8

Hello, we have two Iomega Storcenter Pro 150d NAS in our network. Since we migrated the domain to windows 2008(Windows 2008 native mode), we are not able to acces the shares on the NAS anymore. We always get a "login failed" message. Web login still works. There seems to be a parameter in Windows 2008 default domain configuration(NTLM level or other), which prevents the NAS from authenticating users agains the domain. Any idea? Best regards PR

I recently installed Windows Server 2008 Enterprise (x64) for my laptop and it just started randomly shutting off. I wanted to investigate a few things: CPU temp and device drivers. No errors are getting logged against the Event Viewer, but when I try to go to Device Manager, i get the error: MMC cannot open the file c:\windows\system32\devmgmt.msc There is KB for XP addressing this and that didn't fix anything for me. Is there another reason I can't go to the device manager? Thanks, Abe

The Perfect Roaming Profiles

Dear All, We are trying to reduce the size of roaming profiles to improve our log on times. 1st. We are initialy trying to remove unnessary files from our Default Profile, that is used when a user logs on for the first time. It's presently 5.5mb, which seems a lot. a file list is included below, my question is what can be deleted cause it's not required? 2nd. I believe we can restrict or exculde files or directorys being included in the roaming profiles. Presently our users profiles can be anywhere between 6-25mb. I think this can be done in Group Policy, can any point me to any help on this subject, and again sugest files/directorys that can b…

DNS/Active Directory Issue 1 2
by Guest Lem@community.nospam- 25 replies
- 1.1k views
I recently added a new dc that is also the new global catalog server. I was unable to demote the old dc using the dcpromo. I have 2 main problems: 1. Clients are not using the new active directory server, for example i am unable to share documents, cannot add users because I cannot find the ad when trying to change permissions, etc. 2. Clients are also not using the new dns server (which is also the new dc/global catalog server) to access the internet. I know this because everytime I unplug the old dc from the network no one is able to access the internet and they all have the new dns server added to their nic settings as the primary dns server. …

1054 error in Windows 2003 server
by Guest Larry Heimendinger- 1 reply
- 250 views
I created a brand new domain and started with a reformatted hard drive for Windows 2003 standard server. Just about everything has gone exactly as planned, but i have started getting repeated 1054 error posts that the domain controller cannot be found and group policy processing has been terminated. Essentially, there are no other errors posted to event logs, and this one happens about every 5 minutes for a while, stops, then resumes some hours later (not predictable when). DNS looks fine, and netdiag reports no problems. The only thing i can add is that on this same box until a few weeks ago a SBS 2003 os copy was running and started having the same…

How does RAID 1 work in restore situation - Briefly.
by Guest ThomasAJ- 4 replies
- 389 views
I know Raid 1 uses 2 identical disks and stores the data identically on each one. I also only want to talk about hardware raid. I have a very simple W2003 setup with 5 users on Terminal Services. I want to upgrade my 3YO IBM X206 with a new server that has hardware raid and 2 drives. The new server has cold-swap drives feature. (I cannot get any technical person from IBM to talk to me - go figure) So what happens when a drive fails? Does the W2003 know about? Does it issue a message? Does it stop working altogether until whatever is done? Should I purchase a 3rd IDENTICAL drive so when one fails it can take over? Does it takeover automatically? or do …

I'm getting a error message on my XP clients: "The system cannot log you on now because the domain "example" is not available." However, my laptop is joined to the domain and directly connected to the same switch the server is connected to. I can login locally and ping the server and unc map to it, but if I restart the machine it still won't log in. I've tried several clients. The Windows Vista clients I have works fine. On the XP client I can ping the server, but the server can't the client. The Server is Windows 2003 Enterprise Edition with SP2. The Vista client can ping and be pinged without problems. Any suggestions you have would be greatly appr…

Hi Currently, my servers are having some issues with w32time. My servers are not syncing with the time source (a server 2003) and event id 50 and 36 are logged. We set them to sync in a 12 hr interval. Can anyone advise on the possible causes to this problem? Could it be the time source or the interval?
