Problem setting printers on W2K3 R2 Server
by Guest Mark- 0 replies

I am having a problem setting up printers on my future print server. I have tried to use DLC, but it never installed as expected (http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=f5a88f75-4e05-4fba-bf13-2cd53d023786&displaylang=en), and never gave me DLC as a port type when configuring the printers. When I go into the properties of the LAN connection under Network Connections, it lists DLC Protocol as an installed item, but that is about the extent of it. Any ideas what I should do or try? Mark

No system restore on a server?
by Guest Cindy B- 3 replies
- 553 views
Can I do a system restore on a Win 2003 R2 server? I'm guessing the answer is no... and... If not, is there a way to a Windows "fix" like you can with XP? I'm getting some ethernet controller errors, that I'm hoping to able to fix quickly and easily. If both the above answers are no - I'll do some more research... -- Cindy

Greetings, Just want to get a good recommendation on third party software (pref free) to parse and darse Windows 2003 event logs. We have more than 500 users on our network and viewing logins logs through the built in viewer is very discouraging. Thanks,

Win2k3 Server - POP3 service - MIME encoding for email attachments
by Guest Sam Robins- 0 replies
- 386 views
I'm using standard POP3 service to receive emails and having a weird problem. The service ignores (does not receive) any messages with binary attachments even though the sender receives confirmation receipt which states that massage was relayed successfully and I have no problem to receive emails with text attachments. I spend a whole day googling the subject and still can’t understand what’s happening. The question: is Win2k3 POP3 service supports MIME encoding for email attachments? And if it does then what setting could cause the service to ignore messages with binary attachments?

Account Operator Cant Change/Reset Passwords?
by Guest JT- 2 replies
- 485 views
I have two users who are configured as account operators. It appears that they cannot change or reset passwords on all AD accounts. There are some accounts they get an access denied message on. I am trying to understand what would cause this. I was under the impression account operators can reset and change passwords and unlock accounts on all accounts except system and administrator accounts (domain admin, enterprise admin, etc). It appears this way when they try and reset their own account as well through ADUC.

Using VSS on 64-bit W2K8 from a 32-bit application
by Guest wn123456@gmail.com- 0 replies
- 391 views
Hi, We have a 32bit application using the Volume Shadow Copy API on 64-bit W2K8 (Longhorn beta3 is installed). Our 32-bit application is using the Windows 2003 VSS API library. There is no problem doing this with 32-bit W2K8, the problem is only with 64-bit. When InitializeForBackup() is called it is returning 0x8000ffff (E_UNEXPECTED). The event log contains: Volume Shadow Copy Service error: The VSS Coordinator class is not registered. This may be caused due to a setup failure or as a result of an application's installer or uninstaller. and "Volume Shadow Copy Service error: Unexpected error calling routine CoCreateInstance. hr = 0x80040154.

Cannot install R2
by Guest Thomas Hacker- 1 reply
- 430 views
Hi, I upgrade many servers "2003 SP2 standard" to "2003 SP2 R2 standard" - without any problem. A handfull of machines failes with an error "An Application is running - Reboot before install" (free translated from German). The reboot did not repair this problem. I stop many services and tasks but the problem is the same. Strangely is the fact all machines use same configuration (hardware, software like SMS and RIS/WDS). Which application cancel the installation of R2? Is there a list of applications wich setup2.exe checks before continue? Thx, TH PS: The server configuration page is closed (hta)

Sysvol not replicating, AD not failing over
by Guest swobopio- 3 replies
- 527 views
I have put in a new Domain Controller (newDC) into our network but are having problems with the old Domain Controller (oldDC) replicating sysvol to newDC. The ultimate goal that I'm trying to achieve here is to be able to shut down oldDC and have newDC take over (eventually having oldDC only as a backup). As of right now, the issue lies when I shut down oldDC I start to run into problems with the active directory (such as not being able to edit any users info, it just hangs for a few seconds as if it's still trying to talk to oldDC). ---------------------- Event Viewer Logs: ---------------------- On newDC, I only get two errors (but I think the probl…

newbie question
by Guest Fitz- 5 replies
- 666 views
I am just learning about server 2003, and have a few questions that don't seem to be addressed in books. 1. When do I need to have the server in a domain and not a workgroup. I only need to network 5 computers and was told that using a workgroup is much easier. 2. If I use a workgroup and not a domain or active directory, then do I need to install DNS. 3. Why or when would I want or need to go more advance and use a domain, AD and DNS? Thanks, Fitz
