I realise that this is aServer 2003 forum, whereas my problem is with a Windows 2000 Server, but it may be related. My server is Dell poweredge 2400 with a PERC 2/si Raid controller. I have for raid 1 containers (mirrored) which are all ok. On a restart of the system, two of my " dynamic sets" have come up with offline. When I try and reactivate the disks the message reads "Internal Error: Disk group has no valid configuration copies" I have used various file utilities like file scavenger and can see the contents of those drives. Is there a way to reconstruct disk configuration of those dynamic disks. Any assistance would be grateful Rega…

Greetings all, I have a customer that has a Win2003 Terminal Server that has a MegaRaid SATA card with 3 drives for Raid 5. The system event reports an event 7, device\harddisk1 has a bad block. Errors are logged mostly when I try open the computer management ( which does not open), or reboot the server. Its obvious I gave a disk problem. Going to the raid controller shows the disk all online. How do I locate the faulty disk, or at least repair the disk. I thought of running CHKdsk, bit heard of some possible problems. This is a heavily used server and critical to the customer. An ideas? Thanks in advance. Barry

I am running under Windows 2000 Pro + sp4. I have gone into a CMD window and typed "autoexec.nt" + [enter]. A file executes OTHER than the one and only autoexec.nt file that I can find in my computer... The one I find is at %systemroot%\system32\autoexec.nt. How can this be? Can anyone refresh my memory? It seems there were various "autoexec" files under Windows 95...a long time ago. I have used "attrib" to scan the system32 directory, which should ferret out hidden files, but I only see autoexec.nt...the same one I can edit. TIA John

I have a system I'm working on Hp pavilion. I have the restore cd's and have used them to restore the restore partition. The problem come in when I try to boot after using sytem recovery to reinstall XP, Windows will not get to the welcome screen. Initially I did the following completely fomatted the hd, wiping out the recovery partition and the windows partition, then restored the recovery partition, then tried to restore windows, so far the restore partition is marked C and active, and the windows partition is D and logical, I thought these restore cd's were supposed to do all this automatically, NOT even using an XP oem disc and starting the install, when…

Whenever I start this Windows 2003 Server, the RPC Security Service fails to start. Does anybody know what could cause this? What does this service do, and could be the consequences of this service not running? Is the server vulnerable without it? What steps could I take to make sure it does run? Thanks

Hi, I find that users who are members of Domain Users and Remote Desktop Users can establish a connection to the Windows 2003 Server just fine. But when this same user attempts to connect to their workstation, the Windows XP TS will not allow the connection. If I add Domain Admin and Administrators to the user, they can then also connect the Windows XP TS. How can I allow a user to connect to their own workstation without making them an Administrator? Thanks! --- Bob

Hi, I often put shortcuts on my deskop and like to easily identify them by the icon. I used to simply right-mouse-click on the existing icon, go to properties, change icon and select from a range. Now I can see these any more. In any event, there was not that much to choose from. What is the best way to change an icon, and when I browse for an icon, where should I go? Many thanks.
