SP2 install wanted to replace RAID driver, I said no, now BSOD 7B
by Guest mct@pioneerprogramming.com- 12 replies

The 2003 server has an old Adaptec 2010S RAID card with the most recent Adaptec driver (dpti2o.sys) installed in it from July 2003. The driver is WHQL. It's been running just fine the past 5 years, and I wanted to install SP2 on it to get it up to date. During SP2 setup it said something to the effect that it had a newer mass storage driver for the RAID card that it wanted to use. I don't remember the exact text of the message, thus I haven't been able to google for it again, but at the time I was able to search for it and the recommendations I got generally said not to let it change the driver. I said to keep the current driver and SP2 finished and whe…

Backup/restore strategy for Windows 2003
by Guest midwest_steve- 2 replies
- 430 views
I have one server that I need to backup. I've configured the backup wizard to create a full backup each night, as our server is small (it is for a school with 20 users). The backup is written to a USB drive. I would like to test the restore and have some questions: Do I have to create an ASR disk to accomplish the restore? Can I simply boot into the recovery console and restore? If so, how do I mount the USB drive? Is there a good general strategy someone can point me to? I have searched but must not be using the right terms. Thanks you!

A user can "hook up" a drive to the server - let's say F - so that the users F-drive is the servers C-drive. When the user then deletes some files or folders the ydo NOT go to neither the bin on the server nor the bin on the users pc. How can I get a log of "who deleted what and when" on the server ? Best regards KSor, Denmark

How to Restore full system to an Identical Server (2008)
by Guest ThomasAJ- 3 replies
- 474 views
I bought 2 identical servers (1 is the emergency server). So I set up Server 2008 on box 1 and did a full system backup. I was surprised it did not ask for a CD/DVD to burn boot info - not to worry I said. I have now gone thru all the HELP in Server 2008 backup and Technet (OK so maybe I missed some - don't be picky :) ) and I cannot find any info about how to restore to another box. The closest I get is a mention in "Recovering Your Server" about "Windows Setup disc or a separate installation of the Windows Recovery Environment" in the TOOL column. But it does not go on to explain 'how to'. Heck I even looked in my "Windows Server 2008 for Dummies"…

VMs do not start ANY services after migration from XenServer to Hy
by Guest asklucas- 4 replies

Hi Folks, I'm using XenServer 4.x for almost a year now but want to migrate to Hyper-V RTM for a number of reasons. Moving the VMs (W2k3 R2 SP2) from XenServer to Hyper-V works well, different methods are possible (SC VMM 2008 Beta P2V, Ghost Corp. Edition, other tools). However, the migrated VMs boot enormously slow on Hyper-V. It takes 30 minutes to hours until the logon screen, again 30 minutes to hours until logon completes. However, explorer.exe doesn't start. In taskmgr.exe and compmgmt.msc I can see, that not a single service was started, not even eventlog! I haven't found any information on the web with a similar behaviour of Windows! It …
