I have an HP Proliant G1 running win server 2003 sp2 that was working fine
till a colleague applied the following patch: It was the Proliant Support
Pack for Windows Server 2003 (version 8.00a, 25 Feb 2008).
http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/SoftwareDescription.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&prodTypeId=15351&prodSeriesId=316529&prodNameId=3288130&swEnvOID=1005&swLang=8&mode=2&taskId=135&swItem=MTX-6f78c741679b4ec7a6ff1198ba
Then we had trouble with HP NIC teaming. HP Support talked us through driver
and NCU downgrades to older versions compatible with our old G1 box and got
the network running again as far as pings and browse requests go.
We are still having trouble however with remote desktop connections TO the
server in question. It gives us an error message to do with 'RPC server
unavailable'.
I find that the list of services does not contain any reference to Net Logon
service. It is absent. I cannot find other servers in the local MS network
and cannot use NET VIEW or NET USE.
Any suggestions on how to resurect this old box to fully fucntionality ?
Thanks,
Brian H.
