Administrator Privileges and permissions when in a User account
by Guest vdp3r@hotmail.com- 3 replies
- 298 views
I'm trying to get Eraser to erase the folder left behind when I close a sandboxed apllication - such as Firefox - in a User account. However, I get a popup stating that Administrator privileges are required. Obviously, I don't want to browse in an account with Admin priviliges, so I experimented altering permissions to finally give Everyone permission on both the Eraser file and the folder I want to erase. But this has had no effect and still the message comes up that admin privileges are required. I thought that by giving Everyone full control both over the file doing the erasing and the folder I want erased, that would effectively give Admin privileg…

We have a small lab network with a Windows 2000 (SP4) server. There are about 15 machines on the network, most running Win2000 (SP4), a couple of XP machines, and 4 Linux boxes. About a week ago, some users were unable to access the shared drives in the server. In the event log was the following: No license was available for user lab\MrUser using product SMB server 5.0 Event 201 The product view tab of the licensing tool displayed the following: Product: Windows Server Per seat purchase: 0 Per seat allocated: 0 Per server purchased: 24 Per server allocated: -105 (yes, negative 105) MS KB 103138 seems to address this issu…

Win2000 Pro Networking Issues (and driver issues)
by Guest freaky- 1 reply
- 290 views
Hey there, a computer of a friend is experiencing some weird issues. He said he removed some spam filter. Anyways DHCP service immediately assigns an APIPA (169.254.x.y) address (other computers work fine on the LAN), when assigning fixed IP I can ping computers, but not resolve DNS (not through ping/IE nor nslookup, nslookup will immediately report there's no response from the server). Also can't connect on IP with IE. Tried removing TCP/IP, but then I can't reinstall it. There's an error stating there are no drivers at the given location (can't choose a location). Got TCP/IP back on the card by installing the extra TCP/IP service (time/finger etc). If I…

Computer reboots on Shutdown, locks up on Stand By Am working through various KB articles troubleshooting an APM issue with my Win2K computer. Two problems occur: 1. When it's powered down via Start/Shut Down..., Shut down, the shutdown proceeds normally, Windows closes out and the power goes off, but as soon as the fans stop spinning (~3-4 seconds after screen goes black), the motherboard fires up again and reboots, back into Windows. 2. Standby mode: computer appears to go into standby mode successfully (popup reports going into Standby, screen goes black, disks stop spinning, and CPU fan shuts off. But then the CPU fan and disks fire up again, the fron…

TCP IP Settings on W2K Server
by Guest damienm- 2 replies
- 262 views
Probably very basic I know, but have not encountered it before. I have 2 W2K Servers running AD and DNS. In the TCP / IP static settings do I need to put anything in the DNS Primary and Secondary or leave it empty. If I leave it empty will they default to themselves for DNS? Currently they have their own IP's as primary and the secondary is pointing other DC. We are having policy & replication problems and I am curious as to whether or not these settings would have any impact. Thanks in advance.

Get current external IP
by Guest JP Bless- 8 replies
- 436 views
I need to connect remotely using WinXp remote desktop. Currently the computer I wish to connect to is connected to a router that obtains dynamic "external IP" from the ISP. So the eternal IP address changes any time the router connects to the ISP. I am wondering if there is any paid or free website that could enable me check the current IP address before connecting. I tried some thing like this a few years ago; then there was a free website one could register at and be able to obtain the current IP of the local machine. I lost info on that site when my machine crashed. I would appreciate your help. Thanks in advance.

I have always used Win98se. I just bought a used computer with Win2k on it. I know 2K is similar to XP. so maybe someone can help. On my Win98 computer I had a C: drive that was my boot and programs drive. Then I had a second slave drive that was all my storage of pictures, music and dwnloads. It was split in 3 partitions (one for each catagory I just mentioned). I was using Win2k and had my camera card reader and a flash memory stick plugged in, which were listed as D: and E:. When I plugged in this storage harddrive, I thought it would end up being D: E: and F: (like it was in my old computer). Instead it became F: G: H:. Because those USB devices wer…

About 4 days ago my PC shut down during the day. When it was rebooted we logged on as administrator, as always, but it was like logging on to a total new screen. I did not have any of my documents, my sons i tunes, and when we went in to word, excel etc. it said "welcome to" like it was the first time we used it. I can find the documents etc. in my computer but when when we start it is not the same screen as we have had before. It is like a different user. I hope my description is clear enough for someone to help.

USB Driver problems

I have a w2k machine, up to date, with both external usb devices, memory sticks etc. as well as an internal card reader using 2 USB internal ports. Works fine most of the time and WIN2k allocates 2 drive letters (left and right slot) Occasionally this would not be seen by the system. Now it is permanent! Win2k shows the two drive letters, but device manager show and "unknown" usb device. I have set variable so I can see uninstalled devices etc. and have removed all disk drives not in use and also all old USB devices. Only change is that W2k no longer shows drive letters. Uninstalling unknown device then searching for new devices brings up "Foun…

How to differentiate windows 2000 from XP
by Guest Sriprinks@gmail.com- 4 replies
- 299 views
Hi, I have a software that can check for system process running on a computer. I wish to use this software to differentiate between a windows 2000 system and windows xp. Is there a system process that is specific and found only in Windows 2000 and not in windows xp? If there is one, then I can prevent windows 2000 systems from coming on to my network by first checking for this process and then blocking network access. Appreciate ur thoughts on this..

Adding a new IP address.. causes server downtime?
by Guest Kenny- 0 replies
- 218 views
Hi, I realise I must add a new IP address to my windows 2000 server for hosting another SSL site on a unique domain name on the same ssl port (443) of the same server. I already have several sites running on this server. Will I cause any downtime by adding a new IP address? Can I just go ahead and add the new IP address or could this cause the server to disconnect from the network? Many thanks, Kenny

Hi I can no longer boot my Win2K sp4, the erd and repair mode doesn't fix it; I can only boot from my floppy boot disk.

I would like to re-install the system over the existing system, so my question is: can I do this without having to re-install the service packs and additional installed software ?? thanks for all your help rob

locked out of administrator
by Guest Johnny- 3 replies
- 285 views
Okay, I know I'm a doofus for getting locked out of the administrator account but I'm wondering if there's anything smart I can do now. I took a machine off the domain and when it restarted the administrator account wouldn't work. My instinct is to just prep a new disk for the machine, run the old disk as data drive to capture user settings/ datafiles.

node type peer-peer

- 236 views
On a windows 2000 server, suddenly, I found in ipconfig the node type moved in peer-peer. Obviously, the server sharing are impossible to be reach surfing the network, and from the is impossible to find any network object. This a stand-by server in a cluster configuration; I tried to add the regedit key Nodetype "8" (hybrid, in HLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\NetBT\Parameters), but with no result, and, in the same time, Oracle on the cluster crashed. Now the Oracle is ok, but the security in my cluster is very low. Someone has any idea about this issue? Many thanks, Marco Riccardi

I am going to post here first but may have to go elsewhere but believe this should be my first step. I have a rather strange issue. I have a mixed network I am currently working with that has Windows 2000 server, Windows 2000 pro and XP Pro machines included. Not a regular user of these machines I just discovered a strange issue.

When I try to print from Note Pad or Word Pad using the File/Print not the print icon on the tool bar, and I change the quanty to print more than one cop…

How can I set it so that anyone who logs onto a W2K Pro SP4 machine has the Logoff choice shown on the Start Menu? Assume there are users that haven't logged on yet - I would like them to automatically have this option the first time they use the machine. It would also be nice if the "Connect to the Internet" icon did not show on the desktop. This computer is a web kiosk machine. Thanks!
