    - Windows 2000 SP4 hangs at Preparing Network Connections Windows 2000 SP4 server now hangs at "Preparing Network Connections" after power failure this last weekend. I can get the machine back up by unhooking NIC cable and booting machine. After it is booted, I hook up NIC and the machine works fine and so does the complete network. The machine is the Exchange server also. Safe Mode with Networking does not boot the machine up. Any ideas on this because I am stumped. Thanks Chris Tag: setting up remote desktop access Tag: 234122

    - windows 2000 can't detect windows server 2003 Domain Hi to all pros out there, i will try to clarify the problem i am facing, previously this company have a PDC (windows NT 4.0) with domain name (WORLDGROUP) with a few Server (windows 2000) connected to the domain network as member of the domain. Now they want to replace the old NT 4.0 machine to new machine with (windows server 2003) so firstly, i install the windows server 2003 with domain name (WORLDGROUPC) then link it to the network. after that, i have migrated from the NT 4.0 (WORLDGROUP) to WIN2003 (WORLDGROUPC) then after that, they said they want to use WORLDGROUP as the domain name, so i have rename the Domain Name from WORLDGROUPC to WORLDGROUP by using Microsoft Domain Renaming Tool. After that, by using one of the serverABC with windows 2000 that connected to the domain. i disjoin the ServerABC from domain WORLDGROUP and simply join a workgroup, then i disconnect the old NT (WORLDGROUP) machine from the network and connect the new Win2003 (WORLDGROUP) *after renaming* machine to the network. After that, i disjoin the serverABC windows 2000 from workgroup, and try to join back to WORLDGROUP, but this time, is the new machine win2003 with the same Domain Name. The serverABC just wouldn't join, it keep on showing the domain Name WORLDGROUP couldn't not be found. (it seem like the serverABC win2000 still have some cache memory that referring back to the old (winNT) WORLDGROUP instead of the new (win2003)WORLDGROUP. i have tried to use XP machine to join the new WORLDGROUP win2003, and everything works fine, only win2000 seem to kept on referring back to the old (winNT) WORLDGROUP. it seem kinda confusing, but this is what really happened in this company right now >.< really appreciated to any help provided thanks in advance regards, Vince -- Message posted via WinServerKB.com http://www.winserverkb.com/Uwe/Forums.aspx/windows-2000-networking/200802/1 Tag: setting up remote desktop access Tag: 234101

    - Remind me I asked this question about a year ago and I forgot to write down the answer. My oops. My L.A. network is extremely slow at local resolution. When I go to explorer to find a file on another computer it often takes several minutes for the drive to appear in the explorer window. Once it appears, then the connection works very fast, but until then you wait. Now I had been told that the problem originated in the network protocol because the network was waiting for a reply from a non-existent internet connection (apparently it sets this up by default) The solution was rather simple. All you needed to do was delete a registry key and every thing would work just fine after that. Problem is; I can't remember the key. Can anybody remind me?

    - Netbios name issues on AD server I have an active directory / wins / DNS server, Server1, which resolves to ip address 10.0.0.1. In its domain, I've got another server, Server2, which has the ip address 10.0.0.2. My problem is as follows: When I run nslookup on Server2, from Server1, the correct ip address is returned: 10.0.0.2. When I check the wins service on Server1, the correct ip address is returned: 10.0.0.2. If, however, I try to ping the name "Server2", it resolves to 10.0.0.1 -- which is actually Server1! Similarly, if I run nbtstat on "Server2, 10.0.0.1 is returned (incorrectly), but this time with Server2's MAC address! Any ideas at all? Tag: setting up remote desktop access Tag: 234088

    - Can't connect to a wireless network in Windows 2000 I cannot get a wireless network connected in Windows 2000 Pro. I have set up a home wireless network with a Netgear router and two computers, one Windows XP and the second a MACBook, both of which network connect OK. A third machine, an IBM Thinkpad running Windows 2000 Pro (SP4) is a problem. It has a Sweex PC card, which detects my network, but will not connect. It just says "waiting for peer...". One thing that concerns me is when I open "Network connections and Dial Up connnections" and right click the LAN icon labelled for the Wireless card. The menu shows no items for "View available wireless networks", "status" or "repair". In Windows XP, "Properties" gives access to the network password setting, but I do not get this access in Windows 2000 and so I cannot set the network password. (The network icon is labelled "Local area connection" , but shows "802.11g/b Wireless LAN Client Adapter" when the mouse hovers). Could someone give me advice on this problem?

    - Incorrect Alternate DNS Server Hello, We recently removed a W2K Server that was acting as a secondary DNS server. We then added a new w2003 server and made it the DNS server. When I look at individual workstations on the network I see that they still see the old server and register it for the alternate DNS server The old DNS server does not show up in Active Directory Sites & Services. I did not see anything in DHCP. Between the primary & secondary servers the replication looks like it is working fine. Thanks for any help.

    - disk cleanup I have an SBS 2003 server running a SQL database application off of it's "T" drive. If I run disk cleanup while database usage is high the system freezes, and then gives the blue screen of death. Assuming hardware is fine, is there any reason this would happen? Or is it best to not to a disk cleanup unless users are out of the database on that drive? Basically, I just want to know if it's normal for a disk cleanup to drain so much of the CPU's resources. All it was doing was compressing 40 MB of old files. Tag: setting up remote desktop access Tag: 234075

    - Idle sessions not disconnected Hello, We have a Windows 2000 Sp4 machine acting as a small file server. Therefore, we get the 10 sessions limit. The problem is idle sessions don't get disconnected at all (they show hours of idle state), preventing new users from accessing to shares.

    - NDTG (NetDesicion Traffic Grapher) (MRTG/PRTG type application) The NetDecision Traffic Grapher (http://www.netmechanica.com/products/?prod_id=1022) monitors network and bandwidth usage as well as various other network parameters like memory usage and CPU utilization, providing system administrators with live readings and periodical usage trends to optimize the efficiency, layout, and setup of leased lines, switches, routers, firewalls, servers, and other network components. NetDecision Traffic Grapher is an easy to use software that monitors network parameters via SNMP or using custom scriptable polling agents. It allows you to quickly and easily set up and run a monitoring station for networks. With just a few mouse clicks you can log the amount of data flowing through routers, monitor CPU and RAM utilization, check disk space usage, etc. The most common case is monitoring the bandwidth usage of leased lines, routers, and firewalls via SNMP. You can also monitor many other aspects of your network environment and computer infrastructure. NDTG provides out-of-the-box graphs and dashboards for CPU utilization, memory usage, disk space usage, interface utilization, service response times, interface errors etc. This helps users gain better visibility into the performance of servers, routers and switches and the overall network. NDTG makes network performance monitoring effortless to set up and users can quickly get live, daily, weekly, monthly, annual or custom period graphs out-of-the-box. NDTG allows users to setup monitoring of custom SNMP MIB variables. Traffic Grapher makes network performance monitoring truly vendor- independent. You only need access to the SNMP MIBs provided by your vendor. Traffic Grapher allows you to monitor critical parameters of any device and setup thresholds. NDTG simplifies the process of setting up initial monitoring configuration by discovering network devices such as routers, switches, servers, printers etc automatically.

    - Network troubleshooting tips? (slow file transfer) I'm looking for some advice on how to troubleshoot a network I'm having some problems with. It's just a simple peer-to-peer, with about ten workstations. Most of the PCs are WinXP Pro but the PC I'm having problems with is our 'file' server and it has Win2K SP4 installed on it. It does very little else other than act as a File Server and a Daily Backup (automated). It's been fine for about two years but suddenly, and I mean very suddenly, the file copy time from one PC to another has increased dramatically. I have some automated jobs that copy a lot of files across the network (a couple hundred files, ranging in size from 5kb to 20mb) and this job used to take about 5-6 minutes. Now it takes over 20. Also, this network is 'isolated'; it has absolutely no Internet access (not even physically). Even so, I ran Spybot and an AV program to check and see if something had inadvertantly been added. These programs came up negative. I ran Network Monitor which showed that indeed the slowdown is with network traffic. At times, the data transfer speed is as low as 50-60kb/sec. Most of the network cards we use are 10mbs (a few are 100mbs). I've checked the task manager and it shows very little CPU usage even during the file transfers. I've checked the disk space and we're using only about 50gb out of the 150gb available. 528mb RAM, Pentium IV, some ASUS motherboard. Rebooted a couple of times, no joy. File copy 'within' the local drive (from Drive C t Drive C) is fine. I doubt that anyone has tinkered with the PC or the network settings as no one really has access to that room, and wouldn't know what to do to screw it up anyway. It's my job to screw it up. :) Ugh... I really, really, really get discouraged with Windows occasionally... Tag: setting up remote desktop access Tag: 234054

    - Windows 2000 Pro. sp4 crashes my router. I have a Airlink 101 AR680W 4 port/wireless router. I have 4 XP sp2 hardwired computers and 3 wireless laptops that work with no problem at all. If I plug in my Windows 2000 Pro. into the router it crashes the router. What I mean by "crash" is that all four of the lights that indicate traffic flow on each port blink at a very fast rate, you can still network on the LAN, but no-one can access the internet, it times out. This sometimes takes an hour or two to happen, other times it happens in seconds. If I unplug the Win. 2000 cable, reset the DSL modem and routher everything works again. I also plugged in a D-Link router and got the same results. I've looked at the MS knowledge base and found a few things that might have been the problem but the fixes didn't work for me.

    - all of a sudden, network password required? I have a 2 computer LAN and it's been working fine, with no problem accessing either computer from the other and moving files around. There are no passwords required for access. Today I had a corruption on one computer's C: drive and had to boot up to another Win2000 installation on the E: drive. Networking is functioning in the sense that the internet works on both computers(via a router), but when I try to access folders in #1 computer from #2 computer via My Network Places, a window pops up requiring a network password, with two lines to be filled, Connect As and Password. I'm stumped here since there is no password that I know of. How can I troubleshoot this. If I try the same type of access from #1 to #2, I get a message that says "the password of this user has expired". But this particular user name has administrator priviledges and also "password never expires" checked. What to do? I'd appreciate some suggestions.

    - Need EMC AX150 help BADLY, lost major share after reboot. HELP A client of mine has a 2003 server environment and a clariion AX1500SCI, he had a backup drive h:\ and then his c: drive was inflated much biggger that usual, which is an HP server acticing as a controller. He also installed Exchange on the server that is dishing out the EMC data. It was a bad purchase, like a10 man office, so they got ripped off. Anyways, this is all iSCSI, and in Navisphere I have 2 virtual disks Backup (drive H: which holds all the backup to disk stuff) and the Data, which houses the roaming profiles and user data, each about 400 GB in size. They are both assigned to the exchange server, and show as connected. Now, within the MS iSCSI initiator properties, I have everything set for both volumes to be persistent, whenI go to the bound voulumes/devices tab I see "H:\" and then "\\?\Volume\9bb23848-fe31-11db-bcbe-0019bbe55910}\". It has been a while since I have used EC, but H does show up in my computer and is browsable, just back-up dats. the other volume doesnt show and should contain the 2 shares and usually fals under c:\, if I try to remove the odd one from the bind tab it says it doesnt exist, but I can remove H:\. I really need to get the DATA, even if I mount it as another drive, anyone have any ideas?? I tried calling EMC, but they were completely useless. Everything was fine until someone rebooted the server. I didn't set this up, the firm that did took off, I am just trying to help them get functioning again.

    - Domain User get another profile I have a Windows 2000 Pro domain user connected to a Windows 2003 Domain Controller. This morning she login, but her desktop, My Documents and Outlook 2002 files are missing. When I check under c:\documents and settings it showed that she has a new profile folder, but her old profile folder still exist. When I went to RegEdit to do a FIND on ProfileList, her old profile information is gone. Is there a reason why a new Profile got create eventhough I did not delete nor create a new AD account for her? Is there a way she can be re-connected to her old profile folder, otherwise I would have to copy all her folders to the new profile folder.

    - cannot see a computer in My Network Places Hi eveyone! I have this issue that has been going on for about 8 months now and i CANT seem to resolve it.

You can obviously ping the remote computer as well ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ I have been told that it has to do with the browser service, but I dont know how the heck that works (I have printed out the microsoft document, but it was just too confusing) and no-one can give me step-by-step instructions on how to resolve my issue.

I have mapped the both hardrives to the other PC to make sure I have some kind of emergency way in...(hopefully).

    - VPN Authentication to my Domain The issue is that my 10+ remote users connect to my network via a Nortel Contivity Client. The remote users are members of my Domain, but use cached accounts to logon to their laptops since the Domain/Controllers are not available. Once logged on they connect to the Network via the VPN client. They are connected to the network, but are not authenticated via the DC/Domain. My question is since they logon first, then connect to the network, how can I make the remote machines authenticate to the domain post logging on and using VPN software other than Microsoft and Ras? I have tried to map drives using IP addresses, but the users are prompted for credentials to access the mappings, which that session ends every time they logoff. I would like the remote users to be able to access everything they have permissions to access as if they were connected locally. Iâ??ve tried using the LMHost file to point to the DC and the TCP/IP Advanced setting to point to the DNS server, but that doesnâ??t seem to work to authenticate as if they were local, and they would need to reload it post logon. Also, I want to make this automated so the users donâ??t have to run any special commands, they just have to connect to the VPN and have everything at their finger tips.

    - User profile and logon script doesn't work over VPN I've been setting up an office with 4 clients using VPN to connect to a remote server. The whole idea is to get the user folders centralised so no matter what computer they're on they have the same files, as they move from the LAN to the remote office from time to time. I've got the VPN connection to work just fine. I can browse the LAN without any latency, but the profile settings does not apply when logging in. I want the 'profile' tab in AD to apply for VPN connected users, in the same manner as for the LAN users today. But I can't get it to work, and I've been all over the net trying to find a solution. The closest I get is this: http://www.microsoft.com/technet/archive/community/columns/inside/techan26.mspx?mfr=true (the topic RRAS, DUN, and the disappearing login script) This doesn't solve my problem though. I'd like to find a solution where I force the client to use the profile tab in AD. If I understand the above article correctly, it's a matter of a 5 second time-out. Is there no way to edit that time-limit? By editing the registry or whatever works... Tag: setting up remote desktop access Tag: 233986

For some reason I'm guessing the limit is 10? but is that physical computers or is that 10 users? can I have 15 computers with 1pc -user1 1pc -user2 1pc -user3 1pc -user4 1pc -user5 1pc -user6 1pc -user7 1pc -user8 1pc -user9 and 6 pc's logging in as user10? thanks in advance Tag: setting up remote desktop access Tag: 233970

    - Logon failure: The user has not been granted the requested logon type I had trouble of getting error: "Logon failure: The user has not been granted the requested logon type at this computer" And I was just fadeup with the same. Microsoft "help" did not helped me (as usual). But this helped me: Open local security policy: Start -> Programs -> Administrative Tools -> Local Security Policy OR Start -> Run -> "secpol.msc" <enter> OR Start -> Run -> "gpedit.msc" <enter> -> Computer Configuration -> Windows Settings And then: Security Settings -> Local Policies -> User Rights Assignment Doube click "Access this computer from the network" and check that EVERYONE is added to the list. If not add it. I am posting this because many many guys have faced this trouble and hoping this would help them all. ~Atul D. Patil Tag: setting up remote desktop access Tag: 233969

    - New Server Hi Guys not sure if this is the right place but here go's. We are planning the replacement of one of our existing servers and as part of this migration we also need to change the name of the device to comply with our new naming standards, my question is how can this be accomplished. I have tried creating a DNS and WIN entry for the old server but pointing them at the new servers IP address, this does work but the test users are being prompted for their login credentials and even then they provide them they are still unable to access the new server. Any help would be appreciated. Murray Tag: setting up remote desktop access Tag: 233951

    - How to disable "Network Path Not Found" on Start-Up I have my desktop and laptop computers connected together in a peer-to- peer network with Windows 2000. Each morning when I turn on my computers, whichever one I turn on first stalls with a message that says something like "Cannot connect to computer B." Well, of course computer A can't connect to computer B because I haven't gone down to the other end of my apartment to turn on computer B yet. I can't very well be in two places at once can I? In the meantime, of course, Windows stops loading until I come back to the first computer and click a button to continue loading the operating system. There's also a little box that says something like "do not try to restore the connection in the future." Which I dutifully check each time. But the following morning the same thing happens all over again. How can I configure my network connection so that it will not stall Windows start up each morning when I turn on my computer? I'd like to be able to turn on my computer, go the the kitchen to fix a cup of tea and come back to find the operating system loaded and ready to get to work, instead of finding it stalled at that "can't find other computer" roadblock. Ideally I'd like Windows Networking to just wait its turn, and then after the operating system has finished loading, it could check for the network connection, and if it's not found, to just keep checking at regular intervals until I turn on the other computer. Can that be done? Will in Seattle a.k.a. "Clueless" Tag: setting up remote desktop access Tag: 233939

How do I setup a Windows 2000 sp4 machine so it can be
accessed from another computer?

I downloaded and installed msrdpcli.exe. Now, it can access
other computer through remote desktop access. But other
computer cannot access it.

When I right-click on "my computer", I do not see a "remote"
tab. There are only five tabs, general, network, advanced,
etc. but no "remote".

Windows 2000 Professional can't act as a Remote Desktop host. That
capability requires Windows 2000 Server.

Here are some programs that let you access Windows 2000 remotely:
