"Desktop Features"
by Guest Patrick D.- 5 replies
- 416 views
Hi It is not very common, but I make very good experiences using Windows Server 2008 as my Workstation OS - after installing desktop features (Media Player, Windows Mail, ...). But I have two little details, to fix: 1. Beside Media Player, "Windows Live Messenger Download" Icon is installed during desktop features installation; so everyone can install the program, if needed. Unfortunately this messenger app cannot be installed in this Server OS (error message). How can I still install it? Is there a possibility to temporary switch a specific registry entry, that Windows Live Messenger will "think" to install the program on Vista or XP? Which is this…

Something is editing jpegs on my server
by Guest Jordon- 8 replies

Yesterday I posted a question about auditing file access and I got that working fine, but now that it's working I have a completely different problem. Starting last Saturday I found a few jpeg images were being edited (and backed up, and that's what started this) during times when no one was in the building. The first day it was only a few. Sunday there were a few more. More on Monday. Last night there were over 90. Nothing else on the server (Win2k SP4) that was being backed up, was something that wouldn't normally get backed up every day. So I turned on object access auditing for the folder(s) that contained the images and I found they were edited by th…

policies
by Guest Tester- 3 replies
- 299 views
Hello there, I have 3 questions re. AD policies. 1. Can I set up a policy to have specific users local admins only to their local machines[not to all machines] or this is not possible? 2. Where in W2K3 Gpedit group policies I can check for a policy that automatically removes everyone from local admin group on local machines, since this is the problem I am having? 3. If I set up a local XP machine policy will it get overwritten by AD server policy at login? Thank you, T

Shadow Copy and volume cluster size
by Guest PolarBear- 0 replies
- 170 views
I am looking to set up Shadow copy on a Windows Storage Server2003. I have a primary volume that is presently 1.4TB. Technet recommends "Use an allocation unit size of 16 (KB) or larger on a source volume on which shadow Copies of Shared Folders will be Enabled. (Apparently there could be loss of files with defragmentation of the volume). The volume default cluser size is 4KB. I am considering splitting the size of this disK space into 2 volumes - One volume(D:) for files and the other volume(E:) for Storing Shadow Copies. Prior to loading any files and enabling shadow copy I have the following questions: Q: If the D volume is enabled for shadow c…

Hello. I've been working on a way to password protect folders, even after the domain logon, with the RUNAS command. What I've done so far: - Created a new user called "permission_folder1" - Created a new folder called "folder1", removed all permissions from it, and added the new user in the permission list. - Created a shortcut, and added the runas command: runas /user:domain\permission_folder1 "explorer.exe \\server1\sharename\folder1" When I try to open the shortcut, it will ask for password (for the permission_folder1 user). If I type wrong password nothing happends, if I type the right password it gives me a weird error, which I could find no…

bogus disk space errors
by Guest George Merriman- 2 replies
- 255 views
After migrating a Win2K3 system to different hardware I have certain users that get "insufficient disk space" errors when they try to save files in shared folders on the server, even though there is plenty of room. I say certain users, because not everyone has the same problem; Other users with identical (as far as I can tell) security contexts--groups, permissions, etc.--have no trouble saving to the same shares. I see nothing unusual in any of the event logs. Any ideas? -- George Merriman See Factor Industry, Inc.

VSS Errors
by Guest Scott- 2 replies

Hello everyone, I am new to this postition and want to make sure I know most of what is going to happen before I make changes to the systems. I am having two different issues with the Volume Shadow Copy Service. One is that at different times, the service writer (System Writer, NTDS, and FRS Writer) will take a leave of absence after a backup and become stuck on the status of "Waiting for Completion". How can I get it to become unstuck? Can I just restart the service without having to reboot the server? On the properties of the service I noticed that on the Recovery tab, all three failures are at Take no action. Should at least the first one be restart…

Hi All, First question, is Server 2003 packaged with sharepoint server 2003? I don't think it does, but my co-worker is under the impression that it does. I did notice the Microsoft Sharepoint Administrator under Admin tools. Can anyone tell me what this is usefull for? Can it be used for making changes to websites? I'd really like to know why the Sharepoint Administrator was bundled with Server 2003. Thanks so much in advance for any responses. kind regards, -mike

Trend Micro now says that its Worry-Free Business Security Messaging Agent will not run on Windows Server 2008 until September or October. While I plan to complain to Trend Micro about this, my boss suggested that I complain to Microsoft as well. Does anyone have an appropriate e-mail address of someone to handle such a complaint? Six months is a long time to keep customers waiting for a product these days when the life cycle of the product is perhaps only a year or two.

KMS Headache
by Guest Glen- 2 replies
- 264 views
Here is the situation. I installed one 2008 box about a month ago. Initially I installed a KMS key before I knew about this feature. Since I didn't know how long it would be before I had 5 servers, I changed that key to MAK key. Well, now I am installing four more 2008 servers so I want to use the KMS keys on all servers. I have the KMS service running on a 2003 R2 domain controller. The four new 2008 boxes all register with the KMS server. I see their requests in the event log. The original 2008 server will not register with this KMS server so my other 4 servers can't get activated - the count is still only at 4. One the first server, when I ru…
