    - SMTP server intermittent problem I have an unusual issue that I believe it related to a setting in the IIS SMTP Virtual Server Settings. I have an intermittent problem where an email sent by a small asp.net application would fail to send the exception was "Error receiving data from socket." The VB error message generated related to "The transport failed to connect to the server. " I spent a bit of time troubleshooting the asp code only to have the same results...sometimes the emails would process and sometimes they would not.....no variable changed at all. In an attemtp to find a pattern to the problem and rule out asp.net code I wrote a very small windows application that sends an email once a minute and reports back the results. I was amazed to find a solid pattern and this is where I could use some help pointing me in the right direction. The sever sends an email once a minute and the first 9 emails send fine but the next 9 emails will fail to send and then the pattern repeats itself the next 9 emails go fine, then will send 9 emails that fail...etc. Nothing changed in the settings...each email was sent using hardcoded variables so there would be no difference in the TO: FROM: SUBJECT: SMTP SERVER: or BODY. I have run this for several hours always with the same pattern revealing itself, 9 times it will send email then 9 times it will fail then 9 times it will send and so on. Now for the server details. This is a development server running behind out INTRANET firewall. All virus software has been disabled. The Firewall on the server has been disabled. The application is running ON the server. The situation manifiest itself both in using windows applications and Web pages (asp.net). These are the current property settings of the virtual server: IP Address is within the IP range of the intranet - 10.16.56.9 Connections limited to 100 connection time-out in minutes 5 Under advanced theIP Address and TCP Port are 10.15.56.9 25 Access tab - Anonymous access is checked connection control as access granted to 10.16.56.9 relay restictions are granted to 10.16.56.9 connection control grrants access for 10.16.56.9 to the virtual server Messages tab Message size limited to 2048 KB Session size limited to 10240KB Limit number of message per connection to 100 Limit number of recipients to 100 Delivery tab First realy interval minutes 15 Second retry 30 third retry 60 subsequent retry 240 delay notification 12 min Expiration timeout 30 min Loca delay 24 min Expiration timeout 12 min Outbound security set to anonymous access Outbound connections limited to 1000 time-out 2 minutes number of connections per domaim 100 TCP port 25 These settings have been changed a few times as I gleen what I can from the internet. I have stopped and started the the SMTP Virtual Server on variable changes without effect. The TO: from: variables for the email are valid as they have been checked and email is actually sent and received using the same variables. Obviously I am curious about the pattern I have discovered. Each minute an identical email is sent...and as I have said the first 9 times the email goes fine then the next 9 times it will fail and then the next 9 times it will go fine..and so on. I have not been able to find a variable in the SMTP porperties that is tied to this apparent 10 min cycle. This server does not touch the INTERNET and the SMTP mail being sent stays within the intranet of our organization. What additional information may be needed to look into the unusual circumstance?

    - Printer Redirection while using the Remote Desktop Snap-in Is there any way to turn off printer and LPT port redirection when using the remote desktop snap-in? I have already disabled printer and LPT port replication on my machine for the Remote Desktop Connnection which has eliminated those annoying TermServDevices 1111 errors on the server, but when I use the Remote Desktop snap-in that you can access via administrative tools and which allows you to connect to multiple remote desktops I am still seeing these errors in the server log. Any suggestions? Thanks. Tag: Automated backup/mirroring Tag: 102665

    - Windows 2003 Print Server Problems I have a Windows 2003 R2 Print Server setup. There are approximately 300 networked printers configured on this server. The printers range from dell, HP, Sharp, and others. The print spooler is on its own harddrive for performance reasons. The problem I am having is the server tends to just stop printing print jobs. You have to restart the printer spooler in order to have the server function. There isn't anything that I see in the event logs that would point me in the right direction. Things are pretty normal in the event logs. I am not sure what is causing this and it tends to happen pretty randomly. Thank you for any help you may offer.

    - Change Volume License Key on pre-sp1 Windows 2003 Server Is this possible? I've tried using the guide on http://support.microsoft.com/kb/918342 but the script just gives me the error "Object required 0x1A8". If I use the script that's supposed to work on pre-sp1, and comment out "ON ERROR RESUME NEXT", it gives me the following error message: C:\vlk.vbs(21, 1) WshShell.RegDelete: Unable to remove registry key "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\WPAEvents\OOBETimer". If I check the registry, there's nothing called OOBETimer in the WPAEvents 'folder'. If I comment out that line (line 21), it fails on the following line with this error: C:\vlk.vbs(22, 1) (null): The specified module could not be found. Any help would be much appreciated.

    - Event Viewer - can not see list of events when open Event Viewer Has anyone ever experienced a problem when opening Event Viewer and clicking on Application log, where the right-hand pane never shows the list of events?? This also seems to happen on the System log. If I click on the Security log the list will propagate if I click the refresh button but if I try refresh on the other two logs nothing happens. It looks like the log is propagating because the scroll bar gets small (like its collecting data and "wants" to show it) but the screen doesn't refresh. I'm presently having this problem on a Windows 2000 box, I've seen this on a Windows 2003 box before but can't recall what the fix was. Any ideas, comments, suggestions are appreciated -- Thanks in advance KDub Tag: Automated backup/mirroring Tag: 102655

    - Cannot Run Executable (.BAT) File From Remote Location Hi everybody, the situation is as follows: (please excuse wrong wording, I have the German version, I try my best) 2 servers, both on W2k3 Fileserver (FS) and Terminalserver (TS) On FS, there is a share 'NETLOGON' on a directory called 'Scripts' in which the NETLOGON.BAT is located. I think, this is basic knowledge on W2k3 in German and English versions, isn't it? In my ActiveDirectory (AD), I have an Organisational Unit (OU) that contains a group (GP) as well as the users. Now, I am logged in as the (preconfigured) user 'Administrator' (Admin). I have given full access to the Group of Administrators and my GP in Security settings AND Access settings of the share. When I log on from the TS, I do not have access to any executable file on FS. I have access to local files, can execute them. I can create directories and files on FS, I can change them. When I change the extension to .BAT, I lose access. What did I do wrong? Thank you for your time Ole Tag: Automated backup/mirroring Tag: 102654

    - Small Business Server 2003 printing issue Need help please. I am working for an office that has Small Business Server 2003 with the workstations printing to a HP laserjet 1100 setup on the server. What is happening is that one of the workstations can print from the desktop (word, excel etc) but when they try to print through Meditech you see the print job show up on the server but then the server deletes the job out of the print queue before it is actually printed. The other workstation in the office has no problems printing from the desktop or meditech to the networked printer. I have removed and reistalled the print drivers on the server, workstaiton and have used a different user ID on the workstation but same issue is happening from this one machine. Thanks Jon Tag: Automated backup/mirroring Tag: 102653

    - Volume Shadow Copy not backing up individual files I have Windows Server 2003 Std installed on my file server and am using volume shadow copy services. When I browse to a directory, right click and selct previous version, I see all the snapshots that have been taken, I'm able to open up the shadow copy then copy and paste the file back in the original location. However, if I browse to a file, right click and select previous version, there is no history there at all. Why is there only history at the directory level and not at the file level? I am able to restore the file when I open its parent directory, but not by just clicking on the file? Any thoughts? Tag: Automated backup/mirroring Tag: 102651

    - Setting quotas I have new servers with 1TB of space, specifically for use of staff storage of documents. Each folder on the root of the E: drive is set aside for an individual department. Under that folder, there are 2 folders: [departmentname]Shared and [departmentname]users. Each user folder is assigned to only 1 user. I can set quotas on the individual users easily. However, when I want to set a quota on the shared folder, I don't have the option to change object to something other than users. I tried using the ADS groups involved, but that didn't work either. Everything I've researched talks about user folders and/or AD policies. Is there some whay that I can assign a quota limit to a folder that will be used by different people in a specific department?

    - Getting VPN setup on a fresh 2003 Server Hi, I'm really stuck at the moment. I have a freshly installed Windows Server Enterprise 2003 which is not part of a domain, as we are using a workgroup behind a DSL router. The server only has one network card. We want to use this server as our location for SQL server which outside clients can VPN into the server directly and access the SQL database securely, but we are currently testing with internal vpn clients at present using Windows Pro XP2., and all ip address's are valid with the correct subnet mask and gateway. I used the Manage Server wizard to setup the Remote Access (VPN), and set a newly created user to have Dial in access. I either have no response from the Server when connecting, or reprompts for the user name and password, or it states that the user doesn't have enough priviledges. Some extra info: I cannot ping the server, but the server can ping the internal computers. Also the clients cannot \\server while the server can \\client. I have tried (many reinstalls) with/without Active Directory, with/ without a domain, but to no luck. Can some point out my obvious fault here, as I was under the impression that the Manage Server was supposed to set everything up for me automatically?

    - ntfs file system being recognized as raw Hi, I have this interesting problem and hope someone can help me out. I am running Windows 2003 server as the a file server and use an external 160G USB hard disk for data backup. The external drive is formatted using NTFS. The problem is whenever I connected the drive to the server, the OS won't recognize the NTFS partition. It see it as a basic disk with raw file system. However, I can still copy file back and forth to the external drive. Since Windows doesn't recognize the file system, it then doesn't assign a drive letter to it automatically when the drive is connected. I have to manually assign a drive letter every time I connect the drive to the server. This makes the scheduled backup job difficult to run as we rely on the end user to swap the drive without having them to do anything on the server console. I tried different drive and the problem still persist. Does anyone experience this problem before? Keith Tag: Automated backup/mirroring Tag: 102569

    - Trouble Mapping a Windows 2003 Server Share from Windows Vista Background: In our office we have three (3) Windows Vista clients (new Dell PC's), and twelve (12) Windows XP SP2 clients (older PC's Dell, HP, etc) and a Windows 2003 Server (older Dell PC) that we use as a file server using simple sharing. The twelve (12) Windows XP SP2 clients can map the share with no problem ( I:\ drive mapped to \\X.Y.Z.155\Integration) and also use Explorer to navigate to the UNC path with no problem (\\X.Y.Z. 155\Integration) The Problem/Symptoms: The three (3) Windows Vista clients can map the drive and navigate to the UNC path but all experience severely reduced functionality manifested as: 1) long delays traversing the directory structure - like 15 to 30 seconds to go up or down one directory within the share. 2) "Not Responding" in the title bar of the Explorer window during directory traversals. Remediation Steps We Tried: We had thought that the NTLMv2 settings in the Local Security Policy (Network security:LAN Manager authentication level) werre incorrect or different between Windows Server 2003 and Windows Vista, so we then set both to: "Send NTLMv2 response only\refuse LM & NTLM" (http:// technet2.microsoft.com/windowsserver/en/library/b7cff04a-53d0-44a7- b2f4-496a17470fb41033.mspx?mfr=true) But the symptoms experienced by the three (3) Windows Vista clients are the same. Workaround (SneakerNet): Now, all three (3) of the Windows Vista client users have to use UFD (USB Flash Drives) or burn CDROMs/DVD/s and carry them over to the Windows 2003 Server to add files or just sit at the File Server in order to access our shared files - a sad "punishment" for using the Windows Vista. Other options we are considering are running Windows XP virtual machines in either VMWare or MS Virtual PC on each Windows Vista machine as a workaround Question: Is this a known issue between Windows Vista and Windows 2003 Server or any other O/S.

    - Task Scheduler / UNC address I've been having intermittent problems with my Task Scheduler program. I run several batch files each night that run Access database. Most of the time they run correctly. But not always. Some mornings when I come in I find that the scheduler still says a batch file is running, but neither Access nor the batch file appears to be running. If I cancel the scheduled task, I can then run it successfully. After doing some research on this message board (and it's been a big help on a lot of issues!), I see that I need to use the unc address instead of the mapped address. How do you come up with the unc address for the program (MSAccess.exe)? For example, here's what I had: rem write to log file echo report has started %Date% %Time% >> "d:\server1\Shared Documents\MSAccess\Scheduled\results.log" rem open TestFE.mdb using MSAccess "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\OFFICE11\MSACCESS.EXE" "d:\Shared Documents\MSAccess\Scheduled\TestFE.mdb" /wrkgrp "d:\Shared Documents\MSAccess\VRwrkgrp.mdw" /user Schedule /pwd schedule /X YestOR Once I made the changes: rem write to log file echo report has started %Date% %Time% >> "\\server1\Shared\MSAccess\Scheduled\results.log" rem open TestFE.mdb using MSAccess "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\OFFICE11\MSACCESS.EXE" "\\server1\Shared\MSAccess\Scheduled\TestFE.mdb" /wrkgrp "\\server1\Shared\MSAccess\VRwrkgrp.mdw" /user Schedule /pwd schedule /X YestOR This batch will write to the log, but hangs just like the first one did. I have a feeling I also need to use the unc address for the program, but I don't know how to find what it is. When I open \\server1, there is no 'Program Files' directory & I can't find it. Any help would be appreciated. Connie Tag: Automated backup/mirroring Tag: 102560

    - Copy/transfer folder permissions without copying the files? Hi all, Is there a backup utility out there that will transfer folder permissions, even if none of the files in the folder have changed? Currently, we have have two Win2k3 servers - one server is a fileserver and the other server basically shadows the fileserver server. We synchronize the files between the fileserver and shadow server, and then we backup the shadow server to an external hard drive that the president of the company takes home with him at night which takes care of our "off site storage" (it's a small company, obviously). Anyways, it occurred to us that with synchronization the folder permissions are established when the folder is created for the first time, and then never updated unless the folder name changes. Obviously this is a problem because if we ever have to restore one of those backups, we're not going to remember what permissions were on what folder and something could easily get left open for the world to see (like personnel/accounting information, etc). Oh yeah, we're using Vice Versa pro for all of this synchronization stuff. Any suggestions? Thanks -Dell Tag: Automated backup/mirroring Tag: 102528

    - Easy Question Re: Server Deployment So, my (albeit limited) understanding of the future of Microsoft's server deployment strategy is a little sketchy. There's been so many tools and methodologies from Microsoft in the last few years what with ADS, APF, ADT, BOIS, BDD 2007, that perhaps I'm just confused. But specifically, with regards to Windows Server 2008, tell me if I've got this right: Windows Deployment Services (WDS) is available as an option for Windows Server 2003 SP2, and comes standard with Windows Server 2008. And apparently, additional functionality will be available within System Center Configuration Manager 2007 (SCCM), which is the successor to SMS, correct? And in addition to THAT, there's also the Windows Server Deployment Solution Accelerator (WSDSA). I assume this costs extra. And this will be integrated into the SCCM as an extended set of features, correct? And it ties together the WDS, SCCM, and all the desktop deployment stuff that's been around for awhile, right? Thanks for the assistance. Please feel free to expand on this, as I've most certainly over simplified it, I'm sure. :Bazooka-Joe Tag: Automated backup/mirroring Tag: 102522

    - How to get existing xp workstation to logon to a new Windows 2003 How to get existing xp workstation to logon to a new Windows 2003 server Please excuse me if this is the wrong place for this question. If you tell me a better place I will post it there. I am new to Windows Servers. so if this seems like a dumb question, sorry. I have about 45 shops to convert from Netware 5.1 to Windows server 2003. Each shop has a Netware 5.1 server and from 3 to 14 workstations connected to it. Each shop is on a seperate network/tree, there is no connection between them. Every workstation has its own profile and is configured to fit the user needs. Currently when a workstation logs on to the Netware server it gets all of the needed fileserver drive mapping and printer queues automaticly from a single login script on the server. My problem is that I can't find a viable way to connect these workstation to the new 2003 server. If I configure the PC to log on to the server 2003's domain, then it will creat a new profile and loss the user's current desktop and all related settings. If I configure the PC to log on to the workstation, (which keeps the user current profile) I can't find a way to have it automaaticly get the drive mapping directly from the server. Is there a way to logon to a workstation and then get and execute a standard logon script from the server?? Thank you Howard R. Levy Tag: Automated backup/mirroring Tag: 102521

Windows Server 2003 Enterprise, 5 users

I am running a SCSI RAID system with internal 15k U320 hard drives. I
recently added an eSata RAID box with mirrored hard drives. At the end of
each day, I manually copy the SCSI data to the eSata system. However, I
would prefer to have the SCSI data continuously copied to the eSata system
Does Windows 2003 have that capability? If not, can anyone suggest a
reliable 3rd party software package that will accomplish my objective,
hopefully without taking a performance hit?

If you really mean "continuously" as distinct from "periodically" then you
need something that is watching the file system for changes.
Volume shadow copy does that on a server, but across different servers you
need a replication product like DFSR, or Replication Exec.
Of course, if you make an error you can't restore from backup unless you
have made periodic snapshots as well,
