I have a small network of about 15 computers. One AD. 2003 server. The dhcp is done by the router, if that matters. The server is set up to do dns. I have installed the wins role to help in network conectivity. Once its installed, which seems like a prety simple process. Is there anything else I need to do. Is it like DNS where you basically install it and your done. I have looked at it and it seems to be showing the servers ip address but when i look at Active Registrations and Replication partners I dont see anything listed. Is it working ?? Will it only work if I put the wins server name in each one of the computer network settings?? Thanks.

My company is covered by software assurance and can download the VL software. However I can't seem to find a link in the portal anywhere that takes you to the download page. Am I just missing it? Any help?

When I boot my Xp machine it displays the option to boot to safe mode, Safe Mode with Networking, Last Known Good Configuration etc... when I select any of the option Xp hangs at drvmain.sdb. I have booted into repair console and did chkdsk to check for disk error. Chkdsk ran OK however when I restart my pc the cycle repeats. Does anyone know how to resolve this problem? Much thanks in advance

We have an application or two that we run where the manufacturers recommends that any user be logged in as an administrator on the local PC. Being the good little lambs that we are we have always followed this rule. Anyway now that we are set up with a Terminal Server I am seeing, more than ever, why the need for each user to have local admin rights is such a concern. It looks to me like every user of the TS needs to be added to the local Remote Desktop Users group on the TS. In addition it seems I will need to make these users members of the Administrators group which unfortunately provides Admin rights to the Domain as well as the local PC. We do…

I have a prod system with several tera of SAN disk attached. The filesystem was acting up and the drive has critical issues now on about 30% of the data, and we need to run a checkdisk to repair the issue. The downside is that it'll take over 3 days of downtime to run checkdisk due to the size of data, and the fact that checkdisk requires that we unmount the drives so users are all ofline for that time. Since there's no 3 day weekends coming up soon does anyone have an idea to fix the drives without unmounting them?

W2K/SP4 Firefox, DUN I rarely install a freeware utility, so my machine is normally trouble- free. The only MS program I use is the OS, else is freeware. I do not believe this is a patch issue as I have run in a fairly unpatched situation on many machines for years with no issues, due to careful browsing. In a recent week, I had installed nothing, there was (AFAIK) no excitement at all on my hard drive. I shut down after cleaning, each evening. The next morning, went online, started browsing as usual, after an hour, it stopped browsing. DUN properties were normal, connection was normal, same Firefox version I've used for 6 months. I rebooted, norm…

After upgrading from Windows 2000 pro to XP pro I found that all of the user accounts converted except Administrator. When I tried to add the account Administrator it said the account is already there but it's not listed on the log on screen. Is there a way to regain access to this account or will I need to reinstall with a clean install instead of upgrade?

We have an existing Terminal Server/TLS using Per-Device licenses. Some of these licenses are expiring soon. We have purchased new Terminal Server Per-User licenses and a second Terminal Server/TLS. We would like to install half of the licenses on each Terminal Server/TSL for disaster response purposes. Each Terminal Server/TLS is located in a DMZ, but we have opened communication between the two servers just to each other. I am proposing to apply half of the new Per-User licenses to the second Terminal Server. As my 15 Per-Device licenses expire, will those users be able to access the Per-User licenses on the other licensing server, even if th…

After installing SP3 on a Dimension 5150 in xp home edition I receive a BSOD both when booting normally and when trying to access Safe Mode. The error is the following: STOP 0X0000007E (0x000001d, 0xf78de8ea, 0xf78de7f4, 0xf78de4f0) It was working great before the update. I found http://support.microsoft.com/kb/950249 very useful to remove SP3 while in the Recovery Console. I can now boot to safe mode and boot normally but the mouse and keyboard do not work. I have only USB port - I do not have any serial ports. I get stuck in the screen that allows me to choose what user I want to sign-in as. Any suggestions so as my keyboard and/or mouse will work…

I have a directory that has a file screen set up on it (via FSRM) that only allows file of type .zip. This directory is available via IIS to authenticated users. I have enabled write access to this directory in order to allow users to upload, change or delete files in this directory. The file screen works as it should when users try to upload files. However, where it seems to break is when users create a directory and then rename it. Users are allowed to create the directory, however when they try to rename it, they get blocked by FSRM. It does allow them to rename the directory if they name it something.zip. I tried to share out the directory as…

Hello All, Not sure if this is an OS thing but here it goes. Newly built PC running Windows XP pro x64 edition. Srvc pack 2. With 4 sticks of memory (8 gb total)..pc won't boot up at all (no signal on monitors). It takes 4 to 5 shut downs and pc wil eventually boot up( But upon boot up, it will give me a blue screen error--but reboots itself and it will finally be good to go). So when the pc if finally running, it could run for hours without any problem. Even if I restart the pc ...it would boot up fine ( as long as it's been running fine). Lately, i've been running it with only 2 sticks of memory (4gb total)...and it boots up fine and dan…

Hi all, I'm trying to set an spn for sql server service I'm in my DC machine and execute: setspn -a MSSQLSvc\SQL_SRV:1433 MyDOMAIN\MyUser where SQL_SRV is the sql server machine in MyDomain. At first sight, all it's OK. I get an "updated object" return message. But then If I execute: setspn -l SQL_SRV the sql service, doesn't appear. Also, If I see MyUser properties in AD delegation tab, and try to select the service, it doesn't appear. Another extrange think it's that, I've created MyUser, totally new, it means that delegation tab in AD propertiers, doesn't appear (it's correct), then, I've executed the setspn, and then, delegation tab appears ¿? An…
