Upgrading from 2003 standard to R2 - need DFS
by Guest Fox1977- 2 replies
- 365 views
Hi there, Can anyone help me with this problem. I have three Windows 2003 sp1 servers (2 x enterprise and 1 x standard) and I want to upgrade them to R2 as I want to be able to use DFS across them. I have contacted the software company we use and asked them how much it is for the upgrade to R2. As far as I am aware R2 comes on the second cd of the pack and I was thinking I could just run this on the servers and upgrade them. The software company said that there isn't an upgrade available. Anyone else done a similar thing? Is there an upgrade available to do this? Anyone any tips on how I can get DFS on these old servers? Thanks in advance

IIS / SMTP / Properties / Drop Directory Quota
by Guest Pizza Good- 0 replies

Hi, We had a problem with emails not being sent and we narrowed it down to the setting located in: IIS / SMTP / Properties / Enable Drop Directory Quota And that if enabled the Drop directory can only be 10 x max message size, we increased the max message size and all is well. What I cannot find is any info if we DISABLE the "Drop Directory Quota" option. What happens if we do that...are their any repercussions? Thanks.

Server-to-server access in non-domain setting
by Guest Harold Mackey- 0 replies
- 315 views
Mighty Gurus, I have two win2003 servers. One hosts a web browser that gets PDF files from a reporting server. Previously the reporting server was W2k and the service which created the PDF ran under a user/pass that was identical to one on the W2k3 web server. After upgrading the reporting server to W2k3, I find that this Œtrick¹ no longer works. (You use the same trick in connecting an SQL server to a web server on different machines, if they are both W2k or less.) This is either a security enhancement or a configuration setting. Anyone know of a work-around? Thanks, Harry

Migrating Printers from 2000 Server
by Guest Adrian- 2 replies
- 414 views
All, Im trying to create a seamless printer migration from a Windows 2000 Server to a Windows 2003 64 bit Storage server. First off is this possible? to the extent that users wont notice anything or have to make any changes? Ive been trying to use the Print Migration tool 3.1 but it doesnt seem to work on the 2000 Server. I have also added the windows 2000 server in under Print Management in the 2003 server in the "hope" that I could switch the printers that way but no luck :/ (Wouldn't that be a very handy though if you could!!) Has anyone else tried successfully to migrate printers without the users knowing? Thanks

Hi, I have Win2k3 server operating system with two partitions. I'am planing to make backup of all data which my server contains - there is about 25GB files. My plan is to use MS Backup tool, which stores all data in one *.bkf file. I suppose that tool will make *.bkf file large about 17-20 GB. Is that possible? What is the maximum size of *.bkf file? Thanks

I usually split up services as much as possible but now the servers are getting more powerfull than strictly necessary for the job to do so I was thinking of using the file server as web server also, more specific as a sharepoint services server is this a smart thing to do or not? the service is strictly for LAN only so not exposed to the big bad internet it is a quad core Xeon with 4GB ram and windows 2003 standard 64 bit OS this for about 150 users in total thnx

Overlapping DFS with DFRS problem
by Guest Anders- 0 replies
- 302 views
Hello, previously I had set up a FRS replication but after upgrading the servers to Win 2003 R2 I deleted the previous FRS namespace and targets in order to create a new DFRS replication scheme from scratch. The problem is that I cannot enable the DFRS replication as I end up with the following suggestion: "Fix this problem by not overlapping this replicated folder with an FRS replica set. That is, do not replicate the same local path using DFS Replication and FRS." In other words the previous FRS replication stills seems to be in the system but I did delete it from the DFS console so how am I supposed to really get rid of the remaning FRS settings?
