Server not seen in Network Neighborhood
by Guest MTechG- 4 replies
- 275 views
I've got three servers that were in Network Neighborhood and now are missing. They had been extremely slow so I rebooted them one at a time and they came back to life but are no long seen in Network Neighborhood. These are Windows 2003 Std Servers. I can map a drive to a share on the Servers though. TIA

Monitoring loss of connectivity of printers via PING or SNMP?
by Guest Thee Chicago Wolf- 8 replies
- 338 views
Hey guys, here's the situation. Occasionally, our 4 HP LaserJet 8150s simultaneously throw a 79.00FE error. I have contended for years that this is someone in networking screwing with the network and some change causes the printers to lose connectivity in the middle of a print job and throw errors 79 errors. I have been able to recreate it by simply printing to a printer and pulling out the Ethernet cable in the middle of a print job. They claim no one is doing it. I say it's either faulty hardware or someone is a liar. I am looking for a way to ping or monitor (via SNMP?) the jet direct card and printer. I thought that if I sent a simple PING every 15-30 secon…

I noticed this weird problem the other day. My primary C drive which has nothing installed on it but Windows is runnign out of space. I have 3 GB of 30 GB free at this point. ITs a SQL 2005 DB server. I've traced the problem to the C:\windows\installer directory which is 20 GB in size. I looked at the files and have noticed that I think everytime I try to run the Visual Studio 2005 SP1 it fails to installed I beleive the space gets used then. I wondering if the install files are being dumped here and not removed since the install never finishes. How can I resolve my space issue and second how can I get this update installed. I'm niot sure where vis…

Remote Desktop to Server 2003 Printer Issue
by Guest jacob@nowhere.com- 6 replies
- 285 views
Hello, I am having an issue where I am logging in to a Windows Server 2003 server from a Remote Desktop Session and have checked the option to use the local printers installed on the PC I am "RDPing" from as resources in my RDP session. Once I get logged into the server I start receiving a huge amount of "Remote Desktop Redirected Printer Doc" entires(print jobs) in at least two of my print queues on my local machine. This happens everytime I RDP to this server and I am not creating any print jobs on the server at all. They never stop being sent and they will eventually bring one of my print queues down till I clear out all the excess print jobs.…

External Storage Drive Access Issue
by Guest DJ- 2 replies
- 232 views
I have been using a Buffalo LinkStation Pro LS-250GL High Speed NAS Wireless External Hard Drive and all of a sudden I can't network with it. It has worked fine for over a year on my primary XP (SP2) laptop, and 2 other laptops I own (both XP SP2) have no problem accessing the hard drive and its files. Now - although I can access the hardware through its web interface and can log in and change settings, it won't let me access files. I have been in contact with BuffaloTech support as well as Symantec/Norton and both insist that something changed in Windows to cause access problems. I have disabled and re-enabled Norton Antivirus and uninstalled and…

File Path Limitations
by Guest Bart Perrier- 5 replies
- 348 views
We are getting ready to migrate about 1000 Home Directories to a new location on the network and I have my strategy/plan ready to go but I have been noticing something that I am hoping I can get around. I have some users who are very, very organized and very beautifully create folders with excellent names for everything. The problem is, eventually the complete path of the folder, even with a mapped letter drive, becomes too long. What is the character limitation for the path to a file? I was under the impression is was a lot longer than a user could conceivably exhaust, but I am mistaken. Below is an example -- I have removed the username and replac…

Recovery Console Starts Without Prompting for a Password
by Guest Plumdre- 4 replies
- 300 views
Hi, I have windows 2003 server RC2 that crashed which I am having a problem resolving. When the computer boots up a get a black screen that says: Windows could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt:\WINNT\SYSTEM32\CONFIG\SYSTEM I ran the recovery console and ran fixmbr and fixboot but that did not help the issue. Being a novice to recovery console I did not think much of the fact that it never prompted me for a password. I know now that it should and this probably means I have a corrupted registry (? not sure). I found the article that Microsoft says the lack of prompting is by design however I need to recover this computer as it…

Windows 2008 server bizarre folder behaviour
by Guest Aart Jansen- 3 replies

OK I tried to think about it logically I searched MS site, and google. but maybe its just me. Standard win2k8 install C:\User C:\documents and settings both exist, and are linked (c:\users\public = c:\documents and settings\all users AFAIK) Lots of little user folders have a the shortcut icon, most of these aren't viewable folders because of permission denied (EVERYONE is denied some special permission) a) My symantec backup exec 12 is failing to backup when it encounters these 'default' permissions b) It's $^ annoying when I set a permission I want to be inherited by subfolders to find they don't inherit and that the crappy deny permission is …

WHS2008 PROBLEMS
by Guest DevlshOne- 3 replies
- 248 views
1) I have noticed that my WHS2008 hard drives are CONSTANTLY spinning, even when not being accessed by any of my workstations. I have made sure that no backups were in progress. The problem does not resolve when I reboot. 2) I continually have problems with the Windows Search service. Error Log says that it needs to be deleted and re-indexed. How do I do this? 3) It runs miserably slow with an AMD 64x2 5000+ and 2GB of Dual Channel PC3200. What gives? 4) My network health is in a constant state of YELLOW as it is complaining that there are files conflicts in the Windows Fonts folder. How do I remove this warning or fix this conflict? 5) It is compl…

Server2008's Hyper-V is great! But how do I read/write to the host's drives?
by Guest Mindy Dyson- 1 reply

Hi guys! At the university, I was issued some statistical software that will run only in Windows 2000 and XP. This WAS a problem, since I have Server2008 installed on my work station. The software installed in a Hyper-V virtual machine by using the media/DVD/Capture pulldowns. The Hyper-V virtual machine is using XP/SP3! :) Now, I need to read over 70 gigs of text data zipped for analysis. It will expand to almost 800 gigs of text data. I see how I can get it in the virtual c:\ and d:\ drive(s) using my browser and FTP from the original publisher, and how to get it via the DVD drive. But this data is already on an HDD on my work station outside of my…
