I use a WinXPSP2 remote host to connect to my home office via a PPTP-VPN connection to a Win2003SP2 RRAS server that is behind my firewall. Both the server and remote host use a virtual WAN adapter, configured via the RRAS service, instead of separate physical adapters. Occasionally, once the connection is established, I cannot reliably access network resources via a UNC path (\\server\share). I receive a network path error. However, if I terminal in to the target server (also by name, not IP) via mstsc.exe (RDP 5.2), I can connect just fine. Must the RPC Locator service be running on the remote host to ensure UNC access reliability? -- JCB…

GRE 47 pass-through and VPN connection reliability
by Guest JCB- 2 replies
- 351 views
Is there any way to ensure reliable establishment of a PPTP VPN connection when (apparently) some I'net routers do not permit GRE packet passthrough? I have been unable to remote into my home office reliably - I frequently receive a "Verifying Username and Password..." message but do not connect . Once I do get in, I look at the System log on the RRAS box - it detected the connection attempts but warned that the problem was likely due to I'net blockage of GRE packets. I suspect I am successful, once the routers redefine the best path to my Public IP, but this is a somewhat random process via RIP or OSPF (i.e., the luck of the draw). I know people who…

Highly Available VPN server
by Guest LSI- 0 replies
- 294 views
I've been tasked with replacing our W2K RRAS-based VPN server, and rather than just do a simple hardware swap-out, I'd like to introduce high availability in whatever solution I use. This solution could be as simple as providing two different vpn servers, or as complex as a cluster/NLB solution, but I want it to be transparent to the end user. In other words, I want them to be able to double-click a single desktop icon to connect, rather than, "if this one doesn't connect, use the other one." Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

HI All, This is a Windows 2003 Enterprise Server SP2 and it is connected to our SAN. It can see over 30 disks. The event log shows: Event Type: Error Event Source: Disk Event Category: None Event ID: 11 Date: 7/6/2007 Time: 4:40:44 PM User: N/A Computer: DATASERVER Description: The driver detected a controller error on \Device\Harddisk2.

We get this error over and over but cannot tell which disk it is because of the truncation.…

windows 2003 and windows vista
by Guest Greg- 0 replies

Hello all, I am not sure if I am posting in the correct forum, but we are experiencing an issue that just started yesterday. We have a windows 2003 server that is our print server and up until yesterday afternoon, clients that were running Vista were able to select a printer from the server and print to it - even though the Vista driver was not installed on it. Right now, when trying to print to the same print device on the print server, clients are getting an error that is telling them that they need to download the driver in order to connect. I know that this is a very basic question, but has anyone experinced this issue and if so, how was it resolved…

service stops and HKEY_USER hive disappears
by Guest Jocky Mac- 0 replies
- 287 views
I have a service to run an application. The service actually just uses srvany.exe to launch an application. Once it has done this the service stops leaving the application running. The service runs under a local userid. Normally, the service starts and a registry hive for the user is loaded under HKEY_USERS. When the service stops, the hive remains. One one machine, however, when the service stops the hive disappears. Does anyone know why?

Hi, I am trying to install a font on my server. When I attempt to install the font I recieve the following message. The 3OF9.TTF file is currently being used and cannot be replaced. Wait until Windows is finished using the file, and then try again. I have no applications on the machine. I got to the fonts folder where I am trying to copy the file and there is no 3OF9.TTF font in the folder. Any ideas? Thanks, Steve -- Steve Systems Administrator PSI

trying to install software on terminal server security settings
by Guest icccapital- 0 replies

We have purchased software and are trying to get it running on our terminal server for remote use. It runs fine under the administrator login but we are having trouble with other user logins. The software has some settings that they say need to be set, one of which is the local policy in "User Rights Assignment". I added the user to this policy under the properties of the computer in the AD under the gpo, but to no success. So I then started gpedit.msc, but in here the security settings|local policy|User Rights Assignment has a lock next to it and I can't change the same policy setting to include this user. I guess I am trying to figure out which p…

Hello folks. Hope everyone is well. We are running win2003 standard SP1 with 2 x 36gb SCSI dynamic mirrored disks. Both the system C: and data D: paritions are mirrored over both disks, which was done using the disk management mmc. The primary drive, Drive 0 has now failed. (online,errors is the status but the system wont boot to it) We are having to boot to the "secondary plex" option from the startup menu. Can anyone tell me the procedure to use in order to replace the failed primary drive? If it was the mirrored disk I would just break the mirror and replace the drive but I have a feeling it's more complex than that as it's drive 0 thats failed. an…

Terminal Services allows access, But not allowed at Console.
by Guest AndyH- 0 replies
- 337 views
I can open a terminal services session to a Windows Server 2003. Then from that session I can log into the file system on another Server 2000. No problem. However if I use the console of the Server 2003 directly, and attempt to log into the Server 2000 it fails with invalid login attempt. Both theses servers are on the same domain, and report to a third Server 2003 as the domain controller / active directory. Any idea why access is authenticated through terminal services, but blocked when direct access is attempted? Regards, Andyh
