Changning computer name and domain of print server
by Guest Rich- 0 replies
- 248 views
i have a print server that i changed the name, domain, and IP address of. I updated DNS and WINS to have the old name point to the new IP thinking that would buy me some time allowing them to still use their old network printer setups until i got around to re-setting them all up with the new name of the server, but it looks like it's telling them they can't connect to them? anything i can do to fix this?

Windows 2000 Processes get shortened
by Guest USN9AWM@gmail.com- 1 reply
- 329 views
I am using Nagios and nsclient to monitor an old windows 2000 box. I am using the check to pull the process list, and verify if an .exe is being executed. On one of my Windows 2000 Server machines, I get false negatives. A service is started, and the executable name is something like longservicename.exe. When I log in, the service is running. If I pull up task manager, I see "longservic" and that's it. So its causing my check to fail. Any reason Windows 2000 is cutting the process name short??

Early adopter retros
by Guest Peter in New Zealand- 14 replies
- 718 views
Hi. I've always been an early adopter of new OSs ever since DOS days. As such I have used Windows 3.1, 3.11, 95, 98, 98SE, XP, and finally, Vista. I have a reasonably well spec'ed desktop, and an elderly laptop running W98SE. Just got so fed up with unnecessary OS bloat that I dropped back the desktop to Windows 2000 workstation. To my surprise I found it does everything I want or need. I run MS Office 2000, and do a lot of digital photography, so I need to organise and edit lots of image files. You know, looking at how snappy 2K runs in a Gbyte of RAM really makes me wonder why I ever went beyond it. Should have done my homework first. To all W2K users …

Why do I frequently get BSODs if I log in too fast?
by Guest void.no.spam.com@gmail.com- 3 replies
- 360 views
When I first installed Windows 2000 a few years ago, I noticed that if I logged in within 15-20 seconds of the logon screen appearing, then I frequently got a BSOD within a few seconds of logging in. But if I waited more than 15-20 seconds after the logon screen appeared, then I never got a BSOD. For the last couple years, I have been very good at waiting more than 20 seconds to log in, and I have never seen a BSOD in that time. But today I wasn't paying much attention, and I think I logged in right after the logon screen appeared. Sure enough, I got a BSOD within a few seconds. Here is what the Event Log says for today's BSOD (I'm pretty sure previous BS…

On my WinXP computer, under Power Options, I have the option to "Shut down" Windows then I press the power button. However, on my Windows 2000 laptop, the only power options for when I press the power button are "Standby", "Hibernate", and "Power Off". How can I get Windows 2000 to Shut down Windows when the power button is pressed??? Thanks! Toni

Can you explain to me a few things about machine account password changes. This is a single forest AD Windows Server 2003 forest, running forest functional level. The default settings for machine related password changes apply. - Domain member: Maximum machine account password: 30 days - Domain member: Disable machine account password changes: Disable Do you know what triggers a machine account password to change? Would it be a Group Policy Update (60 minute background refresh)? Or would it be a machine restart? I need something definite and I am not able to find it documented. When a machine account password does change, how do you validate that…

W2K OS Desktop Icons Loading Slowly
by Guest Ron- 0 replies
- 248 views
There is about a 1-3 second delay before W2K's icons load on start or reboot. All icons load right away except for, My Documents, My Computer, My Network Places, Recycle Bin, and IE. Never had this problem before. I've had them all load slowly, but that was resolved with a simple defrag. Any ideas?
