What is error 2155348001???
by Guest JJ Jones- 0 replies
- 190 views
Hello, I've gotten an error code doing a backup of Windows Server 2008. I've spent about 30 minutes trying every imaginable search of Microsoft's site, but can't find an explanation. Any one know where I should look? The full message is: "Backup started at {long string of numbers} failed as Volume Shadow Copy. Operation failed for backup volume with the following error code: 2155348001". I do backups daily, but only get this message occassionally. Thanks

Permission Basics
by Guest Russella- 1 reply

I'll admit I'm a bit of a newbie, but I'm hoping someone can help with this. I'm trying to protect parent folders from accidental deletion, which I've done, however I can't seem to stop the content of these folders being deleted, despite receiving an access denied error. Here's the basic layout: PARENT FOLDER -> SUBFOLDER->FILES If I grant DELETE permissions (on subfolders & files only) on the PARENT, and then try to delete it, I receive the appropriate error, but all content is lost. Is there a way to ensure that if access is denied for the top most folder, that it won't propogate to subfolders and files? I know one solution would be…

NTBackup / Tape Label problems
by Guest Gnubman- 8 replies
- 349 views
Greetings, I am having problems running backups on an HP StorageWorks 1/8 Autoloader. The backup fails when it tries to load the tape. We are running Server 2003 sp1. We have a copy of Backup Exec v8 that is installed. This version of BackupExec does not support our Autoloader. I have tried to uninstall BackupExec but it fails with a "uninst.iso is corrupted or not valid" error. When I put a new tape into the Autoloader and try to run a test backup, it recognizes that it is a new tape and tries to use it. After this part I watched the tape drive load and unload the tape several times before ntbackup started complaining about the wait time. E…

Windows Universal Storage Server 2003 quits working
by Guest IT_Cowboy- 8 replies
- 384 views
I am having a problem with Windows Storage server . Every three weeks (to the day) stops communicating with the domain controllers. At first it seems like a network issue, but no other machines are affected (either servers or workstations). The symptoms are as follows: 1. Cannot remote desktop into the machine, says domain controller cannot be reached for authentication (UserEnv error ID 1053 occurs in Application log) 2. DFS Replication stops (of course it cannot find either DC, one of which it replicates to Event ID 5002) 3. Local workstations can access files, remote workstations that need to authenticate to acces files cannot 4. Not able to con…

windows 2003 default wallpaper weirdness
by Guest awrightus@hotmail.com- 0 replies
- 173 views
Okay, this is a strange one. Using Windows 2003 Standard SP2, I'm forcing the default wallpaper displayed at logon using the following registry key. [HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Control Panel\Desktop] "Wallpaper"="%systemroot%\\wallpaper.jpg" The wallpaper shows up as expected. However, if you grab the logon dialog box with the mouse and move it around the screen, it erases the graphics in the jpg! I tried the same thing using a bmp and didn't have that problem. Any ideas what would cause this? Thanks. Steve

Creating a Service Account that will access WMI / LDAP information
by Guest Eric Chatham- 3 replies

Hello, I currently am using my Domain Admin account to run a scheduled task. The scheduled task is a VB Script that accesses WMI information and LDAP information from a few Domain Controllers and Servers. How would I set up a service account with the appropriate permissions to access this information on each DC and memeber server? I'd like to stop using my Domain Admin account for the scheduled task. If you would like me to post the VB Code to see it more closely, let me know. Thanks.

Can't Log on to Server.
by Guest Kardon Coupé- 2 replies

Dear All, Got a weird on here, don't how to get around it.... the Subject line is technically true, but not totally... I've got a laptop that is connecting wirelessly to a domain, usual practice, turn the latop on, wait a second or two for the wireless card to spring to life, and then log on... For some reason recently, it has been upable to log on, because windows isn't remember the I.P address (192.168.1.x) which has been manually set, so I get the error message about the profile will not be able to be stored... So, it boots up, I access the networking section, repair the connection, get my IP back and I'm fine, but when logging off, it doesn't s…

Backups for Exchange 2007 on Windows 2003 SP2 server:
by Guest jprstokato- 1 reply

Backups for Exchange 2007 on Windows 2003 SP2 server: Both with Symantec and NTbackups, both the Volume Shadow Copy Service and MS Shadow Copy Provider stop after completing a 'successful' backup - without any errors recorded in the event logs. VSS previously ran continuously on the server (i.e. continued to run after a backup had finished). I take it the point youre making ins that VSS stops after a backup and then restarts.. It now stops after the backup finishes...and does not restart. Unless MS designed VSS to be restarted after each backup (i.e. daily), (which I suspect they didn't), I see this as a problem.. Previous versions are not currenlty used i…

Windows Server 2008 w/ Hyper-V
by Guest Robert Ritchie- 2 replies
- 275 views
I don't know how much background information you guys need, but my question is pretty simple, or so I believe... I installed Windows Server 2008 Standard with Hyper-V (the parent OS) and installed all drivers and updates... I then added the Hyper-V role and proceeded to install another instance of Server 2008 Standard (guest OS #1) and once that was up and running I installed the HYPER-V update which enabled all my virtual drivers to work (such as network adapters and so forth) and *THEN* I wanted to install a SECOND guest OS... But I'm getting some error about the optical drive already being in use (presumably by the first guest OS) so when I shut …
