Server loses Network shares on folders
by Guest krisl100- 3 replies
- 449 views
I am currently trying to solve a rather unusual issue. I have a Windows Server 2003 Standard with SP2, all updates done. It is connected to a Dell NAS storage device. We have some shares here for various users. For some reason, this morning, the shared folders were no longer shared. There were no errors in the event log. What could have caused this? I re-shared the folders, but I am concerned this will happen again, any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

ntbackup issue
by Guest Mike-in-Houston- 2 replies
- 441 views
I adopted a windows server 2003 SP1 client that wants to phase out there tape drive backup method that currently uses Symantec backup exec 10d. I'm reading up on that program now to see if it allows you to substitute rotating external USB drives for the tape drive it currently has configured. Meanwhile, I tried to schedule ntbackup to perform a backup nightly to an attached USB drive and it doesn't start up at the scheduled time. Manual starts work fine. Is it a logon permission issue? Did the Backup Exec program turn off this feature? Will updating to the current SP level fix it? One last thing. The server doesn't have a keyboard of monitor, so I…

SBS 2003: Can't log in as administrator
by Guest Sihvi- 2 replies
- 416 views
Dear All, I restarted our SBS2003 server today and found that the server wont allow me to log in with my administrator login/password anymore. It just claims that the password is incorrect. I'm 100% sure that the password is correct, since I've logged in with that same password several times even today allready. But now, after the restart, the password is rejected. This is unbelievable. If someone would come to tell me this, I would just thought that they have just forgotten the password. I think this has to be experienced your self, to believe. So what can I do? I have already tried the password I used on the server before current one. That doesn't work ei…

IOMEGA REV 35 USB with 2003 SP1 Server, changing disk causes reboot
by Guest Hubert Rétif- 1 reply
- 361 views
Hello, I have a REV35 connected via USB to a 2003 SP1 Server (DELL). It was working quite well during about 2 years. Since last june, it seems to cause the Server rebooting when disks are exchanged (used for daily backups). Having a look to minidump file, it seems that the REV driver is causing this. I have updated to the last version, without success. Any Idea? As additional info, part of diag log file: Firmware Version: 95.B Firmware Date: 11/19/04 Interface: USB Disk system file: REV UDF Version REV-Systemsoftware:2.0.2.22 Regards, Hubert Retif

Anyone any ideas what this is about and if there are any side effects to cancelling the preparing paste information window? Regards, Major. p.s. Major is my Christian name :-)

Major Folder Redirection Issues
by Guest circulent- 2 replies
- 435 views
We are using folder redirection. For some reason we have a few end users which cannot sync correctly. This is the error we get: Failed to apply policy and redirect folder "RoamingAppData" to "\\sql1\profiles$\mlee\Application Data". Redirection options=80009211. The following error occurred: "Failed to redirect because the destinaiton directory "\\sql1\profiles$\mlee\Application Data" is offline". Error details: "The network path was not found. What's odd is that we can access SQL just fine, and the partition called PROFILES is properly shared as PROFILES$. Does anyone have any ideas why this might be broken? Thanks

How to mount .VHD file as non Administrative User
by Guest dln- 0 replies

Hello all, I'm running Hyper-V on Server 2008 Enterprise 64-bit edition. I've got a VBScript that opens up a virtual disk (.vhd file) on the Server 2008 system, modifies a file stored within the virtual disk, and then unmounts the .VHD file. This script works providing I "Run as Administrator" - any other account, regardless of whether it's a member of the local Administrators group or not, cannot run the script without it erroring out on mounting the ..VHD. Stepping through the script, I've noticed that Windows sees the .VHD and attempts to add it to the system, and the Driver Software Installation dialog reports that it was added successfully. H…

Missing templates
by Guest BigSam- 0 replies
- 334 views
I added an Enterprise CA to a domain controller. When accessing the IIS interface, we request a certificate using the Advanced Certificate Request option. Then we select the Create & submit a request to this CA. On the request page only 2 templates are available: Basic EFS & User. I opened the Certificate Templates in an MMC & saw many more certificates, including Computer, which I want to use. I don't understand why these templates are unavailable at run time. Any ideas or suggestions? Thanks in advance.

I hope I'm posting to the right group, if not please let me know... Running Windows 2003 server, clients are all XP Pro SP2 and 3 mixed. Long story short: As far as I can tell the following holds true: User's account is set to require a change of password at the next login. User logs on to workstation, and is prompted to change password. User successfully changes password, and logs in. User's Lotus Note's icon points to C: drive, My Documents does not appear to remap to server. User logs out, logs into different machine, Lotus Note icon correctly points to H: drive, My Documents appear to map correctly. User logs out, logs back into machine where passw…

- 420 views
I currently have a scripted method to install Windows 2003 SP2 Server using an Unattend.txt file. Question is, can one deploy Windows 2003 SP2 Server with an Unattend.xml file? I know this is possible with Windows 2008 Server, and MDT is supposed to support Windows 2003 SP2 Server. Just wondering if it was possible and how one would either create or convert from txt. xml file. Thanks, Ron

Protected Services

This is somewhat of a guessing question... because I can't recall what the feature is, but here goes. I have a Windows 2003 Server with SP2 installed - recently I installed a Third Party Piece of software that created a Windows Service. During a reboot, a dialog box was presented to me related to the exe of the service, I had two choices (checkboxes at the top) One was related to letting the server manage the other was something like allow all but the ones that I select, and then under that was a list box and there was a single entry in the list box that showed the exe name of the service. I left the setting alone, which I think was allow all but what…
