User With Modify Permission Able to Add Users to ACL?
by Guest Will- 3 replies
- 285 views
Is there a utility that will show which ACLs (chaining up from the current folder location) is the one that is responsible for each effective permission a user has on a file or folder? I have always understood that Modify permission in an ACL only gives the user the ability to change data, and not the ACL itself. Changing the ACL itself requires Full Control permission. I have a user with Modify access to a folder who is somehow able to add new users into the ACL. When you look at Effective permissions he does have the "Change Permission" permission. The thing we cannot figure out is where is this being inherited from. -- Will

Moving ServicePackFiles Folder
by Guest RAZ- 1 reply

I have a Windows 2003 server running low on disk space for the C drive. I've already cleaned out my temp files and any other thing I can think of. Under the Windows directory I see a folder titled ServicePacksFiles which contain the I386 folder and a folder called ServicePackCache. Can I move this folder to another drive on the same server without casuing any problems to my server? This would free up over 700Mbs.

Opening documents on network drive crashes network.
by Guest Kris- 2 replies

Hi all, I also posted this in the Office thread however i don't know if it's an Office or server/network issue as yet. Replaced an old working ok network with all new equipment. Including a Server 2003 R2 DC. Unmanaged Switch. Linux gateway and 12 PC's. The only thing that still exists from old equipment is the cabling. Problem: When opening an Office 2007 document from a PC or notebook (from either in domain or standalone) from a network drive, it intermittently crashes PC's/server. Symptoms: If we're lucky it causes the PC to stop responding for 5 minutes before closing the Office application. When possible a restart will then render the PC us…

by Guest Matt- 0 replies

Hello, I run a network of about 60 Windows 2003 servers. Each one runs a local caching only DNS (Microsoft DNS). They are used for monitoring web pages and each uses IE7 to load up web pages and verify the site is working. Lately we have been experiencing an issue where IE7 will no longer display websites. The symptoms are: IE7 will load Enter URL URL domain lookup fails Tries to redirect to friendly search suggestions Fails Address bar shows "http:///" No page is loaded This problem is intermittent on various servers with various levels of patching on different networks. None are associated with a domain or have any AD requirements. To fix this pr…

Hi, I have an internal domain, in the format vpr.univ.edu. There is a web server on this domain that can be reached on the web by its name red.vpr.univ.edu. I removed this webserver red, from the domain vpr, and made the ip address of red point to http://www.vpr.univ.edu (instead of red.vpr.univ.edu). I now have a problem. I am able to reach red from any computer outside the vpr domain using the URL http://www.vpr.univ.edu. But from any pc inside the vpr domain, I still have to use the url red.vpr.univ.edu I removed red from the DNS server for vpr.univ.edu, also from the hosts file. What do I need to do to make pc's within the vpr domain refer to red u…

2003 Server Boot issue
by Guest Joe- 3 replies
- 319 views
I have a Windows 2003 server that was powered down gracefully for some building maintenance over the weekend. I went to start it up today and it will not boot normally. No patches were applied to it prior to shutdown. The server will boot in Safe Mode with Networking/Command Prompt without issue, but booting normally I get the Windows 2003 boot screen with the travelling eye so it looks like it is booting but is just hung. I have let it go for as long as an hour without getting anywhere. I have gone in and used msconfig, but any of the options results in more of the same. I need to get this server up and running again. Any ideas would be appreci…

you have entered an invalid wildcard sequence

I am trying to run windows update and a brand new install of SBS 2003. I was trying to add the update sites to my Trusted site list, but no matter what I try to add, I get an invalid wildcard error. I get the error even when I don't have any wildcards in the address. On a lark, I tried to add local sites to the local tab and even some to the deny tab, always the same error, you have entered an invalid wildcard sequence. What gives? Any ideas. This is on a brand new HP Proliant server. It has 4 GB of ram and plenty of room on the hard drive. PS: I also can't get WSUS to load. It installed okay, but when I'm in the sever management console, the screen say…

How to install 3rd party SSL domain ceritificate on local servers
by Guest Library Sysadmin- 7 replies

Windows 2003 R2 servers. Domain name is in a form such as mydomain.local We have Certificate Authority installed on a server and have been issuing self-signed certificates for a few services, such as OWA. Our web site is outsourced to a web hosting company. Registered domain is in a form such as mycompany.org. They have purchased a 3rd party domain certificate for use with the site. I want to install the domain certificate for use with a couple of services, such as Exchange 2007 services and VPNs. The web hosting company sent me two files, domain.crt and domain.key. Being a domain certificate, I guess I thought it would just be a certificate I co…

Group Policy and Windows Vista
by Guest jsimmons- 0 replies

Good afternoon all, The organization I work for is currently in process of starting a wider roll-out of Windows Vista to the entire company. I'm running into a question with power management options through group policy - I've got just about everything set, however I can't find anything on setting the Power Savings Mode for Searching and Indexing. Any kind of Internet search directs me to the policy options for search settings, none of which have anything to do with power management. Any ideas or suggestions? Thanks! Joe
