Hello all, I am copying data from an old volume to a new volume with Robocopy. My first question is do I really need to copy the System Volume Information directory and the Recycler directory? I would think not. If not what is the proper syntax using the /XD switch to skip these two directories?

We have a brand new server Dell PowerEdge 1950, running Windows Server 2003 ENT, SP2. It has two 1TB drives, not running any Raid. Basically, some of the folders on the drives are very large, and if you open them it takes a very long time, longer than normal. The screen goes to white, and you wait, then eventually the flashlight icon starts going back and forth. Finally the data will appear. If we close that folder, after all the data is visible, and go back into that folder right away, this does not happen anymore, it opens up right away. We did notice that the Indexing service was disabled by default, so we enabled that service, but still havin…

I am trying to add a user profile on my computer. Everything goes fine until I try to activate an email account. I put in the user name, in and out address, etc., but the program locks up before the email activates. I have deleted the user and tried adding another a number of times, with the same result. Any suggestions.

We have dozens of computers acting strangly. They are all connected to the domain as setup as any other computer is. For some reason though they will simply go into "network death" there network cards seems to simply turn off, looking at the network switch they will be unseen there as well. As soon as we reboot or moved the network cable to another port they will come live again. The only fix we have found is to join the computer to a workgroup and then readd it to the domain. I know i've had this happen previously with embedded windows systems but never full towers before. Does anyone know what would suddenly cause this sickness?

I am monitoring certain performance counters on a number of servers. I want it to start and stop at particular times on a regular schedule. In Server 2008, there is a fully functional scheduler built in to Performance Logs properties, so no problem there. In Server 2003 and Server 2000 the scheduler is essentially one-time-only or manual start. In Server 2003 (and XP) there is a command-line tool "logman.exe" that will effect manual control, so the problem is solved there by setting up a scheduled task. But I'm stuck with one Server 2000 system. I tried copying logman.exe from 2003 to the 2000, but that doesn't work. Anybody have any suggestions? …

I tried "googling" a manual removal but I don't know where in the regedit to fine the keys I'm suppose to remove. If any of you MVP's or very knowledgable computer people can help me out.....I'd truly much appreciate it because it's a nuisance. Thanx.......Patty

How can I delete software which is still uninstall but still stands in the list of software

Windows Server 2003 SP2 TS. I need to add a simple registry key to all my TS users HKCU hive. I googled and found an old post from Vera and tried adding "regedit newreg.reg" command to my login scripts but the users get a permission error - "Cannot import newreg.reg: Error accessing the registry." . It seems they aren't allowed to add new keys to their HKCU hive (it doesn't work manually either unless they are admins). Short of giving them all admin permissions until it's done is there another way? I know this must be simple but I can't find a solution that works. I'd rather not get into GPO's or VBscript if I can help it... Thanks -- Alla…

How can I script (in VBScript, C#.NET, or PowerShell) the following. I'm looking for the total sessions created (since the last reboot). Thus far, I have only been able to get this number by running QWINSTA /COUNTER and checking the "Total Sessions Created" value. NOTE: this number is not equal to the total number of active and inactive sessions

each time i cut and paste only an asterik shows. how do i unlock this function?

Even though WGA Notification (KB905474) is installed and showing in control panel - add/remove programs, Automatic update is still wanting to download them. Same goes for Windows Media Runtime 9.5 (KB923689 and KB941569) Thanks, J.
