Hi, We have 2 domain controllers which are running Windows 2003. We have some new servers running 64 bit Windows 2008 Enterprise Server. Can we use all advantages of DFS (Distributed file System) in Windows 2008? Do we need all servers to run Windows 2008? Who of you can help with it? Regards MarcusB

Is it possibel to script the creation of DHCP scopes? And more importantly can you export existing scopes to script to create again on another server? I am rebuilding the server and have a lot of scopes on there I don't want to have to manually create.

I am trying to configure a Server 2008 Datacenter Core server to mount an iSCSI volume. The server has multiple NIC's, one of which is on the iSCSI VLAN. The server is in a workgroup and will be a Hyper-V host. On a separate Win 08 box with a full installation and domain membership I can mount the iSCSI volume no problem with Storage Explorer by entering the target portal address and logging into the right IQN. In addition, from that '08 box (or another Vista box that I have) I can fully remotely manage the Server Core box through a combination of firewall rules and local accounts (cmdkey /add). So, I know my problems are not permissions related. Aga…

I have Vista on my computer and this morning it started downloading some updates. I didn't have time to wait for all the updates to be downloaded and I shut down my computer. Now I turned it on and is staying for more than an hour with the processing screen and the message: Configuring Updates, Do not turn off your computer. I am afraid it got stuck and I don't know what am I supposed to do. Any similar experiences out there ? Thanks.

I am currently running Windows XP Media Center 2005 and am having problems with my usb devices. My printer and MP3 player were working fine up to recently, now my system says something is plugged in but does not recognize anything. I have tried the supposed "HOT FIX", unplugging & plugging in every device, and the suspending power fixes to no avail. Can anybody help me out? Apparently from what I read, SP3 fixes this problem, but alas there is problems installing that as well. HELP ME!! I had made no changes to any programs or hardware prior to this. I even ran an AVG Anti-virus scan to make sure everything was clean. -- Doug D.(puzzled)

Our site is testing and will eventually migrate to AD on Server 2003. I've had the client machines set up with a scheduled task to shut down nightly at 10:10PM using Run As local Admin. A couple of test machines we've joined to AD no longer shut down.As far as I can tell, the local admin account no longer does it's job and the scheduled task no longer runs. What's the easiest way to set this up via AD? Cheers. - Thee Chicago Wolf

I have created a form which I have filed in my documents it was created in power point. I now want to print this document but I would like to print it so it prints the text and lines in blue. Is this possible since it was drawn originally in black text and boxes?

Hi - I have a folder that contains about 250,000 zipped files. Windows explorer is having tremendous difficulty opening such folder, even when it displays results (after 10 or so minutes) it hangs after I even highlight any files for deletion. a lot of these files go back to 2006 and 2007. I kindly NEED a DOS batch file or some script that I would enable me to delete the files that are older than may 2008 (In other words delete files between May 2008 and May 2006). Thank You, and your efforts are much appreciated in advance. wiseteufel -- Message posted via WinServerKB.com http://www.winserverkb.com/Uwe/Forums.aspx/windows-server/200809/1

I just wanted to say my firmest thoughts and prayers go out to everyone who has suffered today. 7 years ago, my older brother Tom had his friend killed. Our Super John had his nephew killed. This will always be a rough and sad time of the year for me. May this September 11, be filled with kindness, strength, gentleness and patience for all. May the Higher Power have Mercy on Us All.

Re: Error DCOM 10010 An old post but thought I'd mention how I solved this as the process may help someone even if the fault is different. This was the error: "The server {204810B9-73B2-11D4-BF42-00B0D0118B56} did not register with DCOM within the required timeout." I searched the registry for the {...} reference and found the key: "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{204810b9-73b2-11d4-bf42-00b0d0118b56}" I searched for this and found Microsoft info explaining that it "registers the COM coclass for the UPnPRegistrar interface." (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms907987.aspx) I was lucky because the same info gave a sub-key which was missing from the r…

The reason I ask is because for some reason the two have been disabled in my domain controller Administrator account in Windows 2000 SP4. Luckily I made duplicate Administrator equivalent accounts when I first constructed this machine so not all is lost but I would like to get back the control for the original Administrator account. I believe something happened to a Group Policy or Local Security or Domain security or Controller security or some other security or NTFS securuity or ...
