2003 server seems to be having issues with profiles and citrix lic
by Guest ghutnick- 2 replies
- 330 views
My 2003 server seems to be having a problem with properly distributing user profiles as well as citrix licenses. Each day when my local users login in almost half of them get the can not login in error because their profile can not be found. After several reboots they can login. My citrix users are getting a licensing error stating there are not more licenses available, but there are plenty. After several reboots they get in. The event log does not indicate any errors that would apply to this? What should I be looking for? Thank you

This server will be used by around 50 people (30 on site and 20 remotely) The 30 people on site will be connecting to sql via 3rd party application installed on their own pc's and will not be using the server to login. The 20 remote users need to connect to the 3rd party application via RDP(to be run on the server) and the application will connect to sql which will also be installed on the box. Can anyone suggest what sort of spec machine would be good to run 2003 especially with around 20 rdp users Cheers

TIA

Hi All, I have a share access issue that I can’t solve. The problem exists when attempting to access a 2003 member server share for a PC’s in different 2000 child domain. For example I have a main domain called N.co.uk and then several child domains. All of these domains are running two Windows 2000 DC and several XP clients. All was working fine until I added a windows 2003 member server to host share on one of the child domains. The users on the child domain that hosts the new 2003 server can access the shares fine, the users on the parent domain can access the shares but any users on the other of the child domains cannot access the shares. They are…

Starting up a file server in my company. Boss wants to use Server 2003 Standard. We want each person to be able to log into any computer and only access their files. IE: Designers would see all design folders, but not Business data, Whereas, if the designer logged out of the computer and an Accountant logged in, the Accountant would see all the business data but none of the design data. I need this to work for MACs as well, Two running Tiger, and one running Leopard. Also, I know I need a CAL for each one accessing data off of the server, Will These CALs work with MACs? Any and all help will be appreciated, thanks!

I have a 2003 Server Std R2 SP2. I installed terminal server and terminal server licensing server. I activated the terminal server licensing server and add 5 TS Per User CALs. My users have not reported any issues and all appears to be well. Except when I open the Terminal Server Licensing console and look at my server none of the Per User CALs are "Issued"; even though I have 3 users terminaled into the system. The TS Licensing console still shows 5 total and 5 available CALs. I looked around on the internet and found information that said this was a known issue. That per user cal is new to 2003 server and in a rush release 2003 MS was aware of this issue…

2003 Terminal Services - Bandwidth
by Guest Victor- 1 reply
- 222 views
How much bandwidth is required per user for a terminal services connection? For example, if we have a 1.5 Mb T1 coming in, and I remote desktop into the server from home (cable internet, if it makes a difference), how much of that T1 am I using for my session? Basically, we're trying to figure out how many concurrent outside connections we can support at a time. Thanks!

2003 unexpected shutdown
by Guest Steve Copley- 0 replies
- 195 views
Hello support, We have a Windows Server 2003 x64 system that at seemingly random intevals (anywhere from 5 to 10 hours apart) reaches 100% CPU usage and locks up. The system is running in a virtual environment (Citrix XenServer) with another Windows Server 2003 guest that have no problem at the time of the incident. There are no logs in the virtual host to suggest a problem, aside from a restart taking place which must be manually initiated, the Windows Server does not restart on its own. The system was configured with 4x vCPUs and 2gb RAM. The host has 4 CPUs (Intel Xeon 3Ghz) and 4Gb RAM. The only entry in the Windows Event Log that suggests a …

2003R2 Dev web server will not play video
by Guest Saral6978- 0 replies
- 298 views
I'm going to try and explain this as best as I can...I'm stumped and need some ideas. We have a marketing company who developed a presentation video for us. We used a personal website on an XP box to test the launching of the video and it worked fine - played audio and video and showed you the video controls (play, pause, stop, etc). We then attempted to apply the same code and files to our DEV and TEST webservers, both of which are running Windows 2003 R2 server. For whatever reason, the video will not play. Just a little black screen and it doesn't even show the video controls. We then applied the same code and files to a windows 2000 test box on a…

2003R2 Enterprise Minimum C:Drive Size Question
by Guest EDAWG- 2 replies
- 233 views
Due to some technical/political issues at my work I am being forced to install 2003 R2 on an IBM blade configuration(HS21) that doesn't come with hot swappable drives. In an effort to minimize the impact of losing a drive I am considering going with solid state drives, as they are billed as 3X more reliable. My question is this...The max drive size for solid state on the blades right now is 16GB. I can get two and set them up as RAID1, but I am nervous about total drive space. The apps and its data will live no a SAN so I am only installing the OS, but do you think this is cutting it too close with space? My other option is to use 73GB SAS non hot swa…

Hi, Has anyone managed to get remote desktop on 2008 to actually look reasonable? It's like Vista set to Windows Classic. Almost everything just looks wrong. Server Manager is fine as are other things in MMC, but Windows Explorer, Task Scheduler, the Start Menu; they're all over the place. Or have I just got something setup wrong? Gary

2008 Backup - Device Error?
by Guest Steve Copley- 0 replies
- 214 views
Hello Technet, When running Windows Server Backup from the Server Manager (2008) - selecting VSS full or copy backup, it reaches around 3.8gb on C: then fails with an "I/O device error". We've tried saving to alternate disks and network locations, as well as running wbadmin, same error message. It appears to be failing during the System State backup. Server has been restarted, and checked for any more recent updates, but there is no change. I've found reference to this particular error in Vista where the solution was to go to System Protection and disable Shadow Copy on the drives, then re-enable - though I cannot see the System Protection area in 20…

2008 Enterprise to 2008 Datacenter upgrade
by Guest Roger Crawford- 1 reply
- 222 views
I was reading somewhere on the MS Site that if you had Enterprise Edition of 2008 there was a licensing path to upgrade your 2008 Enterprise to 2008 Datacenter Edition so you could go from the 4 Guest HyperV Servers to Unlimited and it would not cost you the full price of the datacenter edition pricing. I have since lost this article and was wondering if anyone has seen this article also or not and if you have get that info to me. Thanks Roger Crawford HTS

I am the proud owner of a copy of 2008 Enterprise with 25 Cals, as of Friday there :) I have one question, and I know that should really know the answer to this, but.... I am about to purchase hardware for this fine product, but I want to give it a blast right now, which got me thinking, I know I can install it onto some existing piece of hardware and just use it in pre-activation mode (eval?) for the tryout, but will I be able to move it to another server if it has been activated on another? Will the license allow this? I mean what happens if you want to upgrade your server to a better model, can it be done? or will I have to look out for black seda…

Hi All I have a 2008 server which I am evaluation before we buy. Its stand alone and when it was built, it used to get its ip via dhcp from a zywall and no problems. we put exchange 2007 on it and then needed to give it a fixed ip address, as soon as we did we could not access the net.

2008 server install with only AD setup is over 11G
by Guest Paul Ableman- 3 replies
- 344 views
I've just received a 2008 server for a client that already has 12G of OS data on it. I was hoping to create an emergency backup onto a DVD after I get things configured; however, I'm not willing to span 3 DVDs. What can I remove to get the install down under 4G? I'm very surprised/disappointed that with little/nothing configured or any data moved over to the server that I've got nearly a 12G footprint JUST for the OS. Any suggestions? Thanks,
