Is Hyper-V too complicated for the following.
by Guest ThomasAJ- 10 replies
- 414 views
I want to upgrade to W2008 down the track but in the meantime I want a backup box for my 4YO IBM X206 running W2003. (I cannot get another X206) I was thinking of Installing W2008 with Hyper-V on a new box, and have an area (whatever it's called) set aside so I can use it as an emergency backup for my current W2003. Or is Hyper-V too sophisticated (and too great a learning curve) for this scenario and a simpler product exists. -- Regards Tom

I have 180 PCs and i run a Script with NET TIME to check the time sync and for my surprise there is 15 minutes difference (see distribution table below) The Script runs in 3 minutes and i´m puzzled because AD is working fine but there is a Default Domain Policy for block Logins when clocks are not synchronized (5 minutes?!)

Automatic Printing to a File Name in Windows
by Guest JimR- 1 reply
- 201 views
I have read the article "kbprint KB119256", in Microsoft KnowledgeBase, which explains how to setup a path and file name for a printer that basically has a FILE port type. I am wondering if it is possible to have the filename change dynamically. For example: append some sequence counter. The idea being that in a multiple-user network many users printing to the same printer would not overlay each others files. The prefix would be consistent: "\\server\path\fileXXXX.txt" where XXXX will be the result of some sequence counter generated by Windows automatically.

I have an odd problem. I recently updated my SAV from 10.0.0.359 to 10.1.6.6000 and I had no problems with the server install except for when I started updating my clients to the most recent version. My environment is XP Pro SP3 and Windows Server 2003 SP2. I updated my clients by logging into the SSC then did a client remote install, my problem lies in only some of the client that are running Server 2003 or XP with these problems 1. "Client remote Installation. The Server (Primary AV Server Name) is not hosting any compatible symantec antivirus (SAV) 64 bit installers for the 64 bit client (host name)" I got around this by logging onto the host in quest…

WHS Windows Home Server
by Guest - Bobb -- 7 replies
- 360 views
I looked and couldn't find specific newsgroup for WHS, so if this is the right group... I've looked around and still wondering: 1. Who / what is the target market for it ? If it's homes with a lot of PC's - it that market really big enough ? 2. Getting HOME server vs. "regular server 2003" ... Would you know ... I would assume that the ISP charges for " a server" as opposed to PC ? My reason for asking is that I've been watching it since release and thinking "what can this do for users that Server2003 couldn't". I thought there would be some software app included / some big reason to "have to have it", but I don't see anything. From the write-ups, it d…

I have a windows 2003 member server on a separate subnet and site from our 2003 domain controller. last week I demoted a windows 2000 server that had issues with active directory. the member server at the other site was working fine. now my 2003 member server at the other site will not hand out dhcp addresses, says it is not authorized. when I access DHCP on this server from the domain controller at the first site, it shows red as unauthorized, but when I try to go to authorize it, it only allows me the option to UNauthorize it, and will not let me do even that. in Event Viewer on the member server I get an Userenv error, event 1053: Windows cann…

MDAC for Server 2003?
by Guest JBradshaw- 3 replies
- 268 views
I've been told by one of our vendors that I need MDAC installed on my server to run their app -- however, none of the MDAC downloads I can find seem to support Server 2003, or even Server 2000, for that matter. Are there versions specifically for server, or is it all one and the same? Thanks
