PXE-E53 No boot filename received
by Guest notagirrafe- 3 replies
- 307 views
I started receiving this when trying to boot a PXE client after doing some long overdue updates on the server (SP2 primarily). I found that the service "Remote Installation" service BINLSVC (tcpsvcs.exe) was not running, but when I try to start it it fails withe Error 127:The specified proceedure could not be found. In teh event log it is error 7023 from "Service Control Manager". Checking properties, the .exe is in place as expected. I'm at a loss as to what to check next and would appreciate any advice (oh and I did restart the server - twice) and run a full Sophos anti-virus scan. Any ideas would be appreciated. Dave

Clients hang while accessing share on server
by Guest C Lewis- 0 replies
- 179 views
Hi all, I have an issue on one of my servers where clients will attempt to open a file from Word, Excel, Acrobat, or even the Run command and it will hang if a particular share is selected from the drop down. It doesn't happen when selecting other shares on the same server. It will eventually open if you have 3 minutes to wait. This does not occur when opening files from Windows Explorer either. Access to the share is quick and responsive. I also do not have this issue from accross the WAN. I can open the same share from Word while at our second site with no problem or lag. Any help on this will be greatly appreciated, -- C Lewis

How to setup logon
by Guest circulent- 5 replies
- 412 views
I manage a small Windows 2003/Windows XP domain. I'm trying to figure out a way for all users to be able to logon to any computer without having to set each person up as a local admin everywhere. This would not apply to servers though. If I don't ive each person local admin right, then I get this message: The local policy of this machine does not allow you to logon interactively. Thoughts? Thanks

Non-MS IM solution in AD environment w/Server 2003
by Guest Isaac Grover- 0 replies
- 198 views
Good morning from Wisconsin, I am looking to implement simple instant messaging (contact list and messaging required, file transfer optional) in an Active Directory environment with Windows Server 2003 at the core and 15 Windows XP Pro clients at the edge. As I know that sometimes non-MS solutions are overall better, I have been looking at two options: LanTalk.NET from Cezeo (http:// http://www.cezeo.com/) and LanToucher Messenger from VitalSoundLab (http:// http://www.vitalsoundlab.com/). So, I am open to opinions of the two products above, and also exploring other available options. Let me know what you have successfully used in your environments. T…

Server 2008 installation problems
by Guest Mike- 2 replies
- 231 views
Folks, I'm having trouble installing Server 2008. I have a Dell PE 600SC with 2-80 Gb hard drives and I'm trying to install Server 2008. I had Server 2003 installed on this machine, but wanted to do a clean install, so when I inserted the 2008 DVD and it came up to the partition table for the drives, I told it to delete the partitions, which it did. However, while it has a "New" button, I presume for creating a new partition, it is greyed out and not available to me. It did let me format the drives. All I can do is select one of the drives and hit "next". It says it is starting to install then gives the error "Windows could not prepare the partiti…

Recently we had to reboot all servers in our computer room for maintenance, ever since most laptops are getting an error about duplicate name found when they have both wired and wireless LAN turned on. Once wireless radio is turned off, then it works fine. Any ideas what the issue might be? Thanks.

Folder Redirection inconsistent
by Guest cmccleary72- 1 reply
- 187 views
Short and sweet. This is a Windows 2003 domain running in mixed mode. Folder redirection has been in place for a couple of years now and for the most part works beautifully. On a couple of occasions we have run into the following problem. A user will log onto a desktop that they have not logged onto before and while they expect for their desktop and My Documents folder to be synched none of the files form the server are pushed to the new machine. Another user can come right behind them, log in to the new system and all their files show up. Please help me. -- cmccleary72 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ cmccleary72's …

recommended boot partition size...
by Guest zerbie45@gmail.com- 1 reply
- 182 views
hello guys, I'm about to deploy a new HP DL 585 server with windows server 2003 enterprise edition. It's actually two of them that will be used as a cluster for sql services. the two servers have three hard disks with 74 gb each. what I want to do is use raid 1+0 so that I have two hard disks mirrored and a spare one. The other partitions (quorum and applications) will come from our san (so no need to use the local hard disks for other partitions other than the boot one). Is it ok to create a single boot partition of 74 gb ? is that too big for some reasons ? or is it ok ? what do you think ? thanks for your opinion... zz

Random Alleged Disk Corruption
by Guest Michael O- 0 replies
- 137 views
I have a Windows 2003 SP2 box with three ATA disks and one USB drive (also one ATA CD-ROM). It is an Active Directory controller as well as a file share machine. Randomly, usually months apart, it will give ntfs errors in the system log on one or more of the drives. All drives have been affected, no files have ever been lost. Sometimes, there will be a warning in the system tray about a corrupt file, this is the only machine I've ever witnessed a warning in the system tray for file corruption on. Sometimes, my anti-virus software will begin to crash at this time also. The only other symptom I've noticed is that folders that have not been modified get new …

Hello there, My question is when I reboot a Windows 2K3 64 bit server the time is rolled back six hours. This server is running as a virtual machine on an VMware ESX 3.5 Sever. The VMware tools are installed on instance but the option to time sync with the ESX server is disabled. Also the Windows O/S is not set to sync with any time source. Any ideas on what could be causing this and a solution to the cause? Thanks!
