We are in the single forest native 2003 domain. 2 Domain Controllers 30 member servers. All 2003 Servers (members and dcs) have SP2 applied. Network has been up for the past 5 years. Since Feb 20th of this year. All of the 2003 member servers started Logging Warning Event ID: 40960 from LSASRV at random days and times, but not frequently. The message logged is deceiving, it talks about time being different on one of the servers. (See below) The max time difference on my servers is 0.005ms (obtained form w32time /monitor), all servers except the PDC Emulator are configured to use Nt5DS under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\W32Time\P…

This is a new one for me: on a Windows 2003 server, some files are being restored / migrated from another server. The files are being created by Windows Backup (in restore mode) as "SIS Links". There is some hidden folder in the root that apparently contains the actual files, and I guess the files on the NTFS file system are simply hard links to those files? What the heck is this SIS feature? I'm never experienced such a thing in using hundreds of W2K and W2K3 systems, doing many thousands of backups and restores. Is this a side effect of some option on the restore? In Windows itself, is there some registry option, or UI, that controls whether …

Many of the Compaq / HP Windows 2000 driver downloads only contain .CAT, ..INF, and .SYS files needed to install new devices under Windows. What's lacking is a TXTSETUP.OEM file, which is used at minimum with the Windows 2000 install CD when you need to add a new device while installing. Is there a trick to creating the TXTSETUP.OEM file when it is not provided by the vendor? -- Will

Is there anything baked into Windows that will let me do a simple "find and replace" operation on strings in text files? TIA - Bob

When I pull up Run on the start menu, usually cmd will suffice when I'm checking things, but apparently for some reason Windows is making me put .exe on the end of everything or else it will say not a valid Win32 application. Anyone know how to cure this?

I can't go to Vista just yet as there are some aompatibility issues with legacy applications I am forced to run. So, should I order Windows XP 64 bit? I don't have any 64 bit applications just yet and probably won't for a while, but will other 32 bit standard apps run faster on a 64bit OS or slower? Or no change?

Hello, I have a windows 2003 server, clients are winxp sp2 All pc's are configured to logon on my domain. Some of the users work a lot via VPN and come not often in the office. Sometimes they work on other locations for several months. After some time ( don't now exactly how long) they cannot not more logon ( with (mydomain\username) on there workstation when they are not connecetd to the domain. Is there somewhere a setting that can prevent this block? Thank you,

What is process for reinstalling windows 95. I, have an old computer I'm donating...and I wiped it and reformated, but now I can't get windows 95 to open, only dos prompts. and I don't know that much about dos. I have cd I got several years ago from e-bay for reinstalling, and diskette, but have forgotten procedures in the meantime. (!!!) I would like to load the windows 95 back on, and put on the office 95 I have too, so the next person can put the computer to good use. unfortunately, every reference to windows 95 install is over my head.... guess the writers assume I should know what they're talking about! and I don't!!!! -- Message posted vi…

Is it safe to apply Windows Server 2003 SP2 on a Small Business Server 2003 install. I tried to apply the regular SP1 to a SBS once and broke it. -- Randy

We a Windows 2003 native domain, and want to set the timeserver to NIST. However, when we go to Hkey_local_machine\system \currentcontrolset\services\w32time\parameters to set the TYPE dword key: We cannot find it (As local admin, or domain admin). If we try to create the key, we get a message that the key allready exists - but we do not see it in regedt32 although we have the ownership of the w32time & subkeys/values Has anyone heard of not being able to view existing keys that they (theoretically) have rights to see? Thanks

We use to be a Novell network for years and years. For the past 5 years we were running 70 stations on Windows 2000 Pro with no issues. In March we switched over to a Windows 2003 server network. Our main DC we installed 64bit Windows 2003 SP2. All the stations stayed unchanged other than we had to create new profiles on the domain. All the stations ran fine for weeks then about a month after the switch over we had a handful of stations when the user's logged on a new profile was automatically created for them. When the server switch- over was done the new user profiles were all "U_Username", they did not show up as the usual "U_Username.domainname". When t…

I need users to access the terminal server desktop, but I don't want them to be able to reboot the server or create folders willy-nilly. How do I limit what users can do when connected to TS? And how granular can this limitation be?
