    - Replication Hi, I have two servers...one in a domain'd network, and one on a workgroup. I have tried using DFS and the files / folders do transfer correctly. However, when I access the folder locally on the source server I cannot access it, i.e. c:\temp is not accessible. Also, a random folder was created with a folder name of DFS01-02938 etc which contained the same data. DFS doesnt seem to be the best way to do this, so what other ways of replicating files/folders from one server to another on different networks without having to purchase anything extra? Thanks Chris Tag: Blank screen after Windows 2003 splash screen Tag: 114933

    - Firewall for Website I'm setting up my home PC to be a website. It's running WinPro XP SP2 and IIS 5.1 as the web server. My question is how do I configure the firewall to allow "anyone" to get to my site yet still keep a level of protection or do I have to take down the firewall completely?

    - VSS Errors Hello everyone, I am new to this postition and want to make sure I know most of what is going to happen before I make changes to the systems. I am having two different issues with the Volume Shadow Copy Service. One is that at different times, the service writer (System Writer, NTDS, and FRS Writer) will take a leave of absence after a backup and become stuck on the status of "Waiting for Completion". How can I get it to become unstuck? Can I just restart the service without having to reboot the server? On the properties of the service I noticed that on the Recovery tab, all three failures are at Take no action. Should at least the first one be restart the service? The second problem I have is I keep getting this error in the Application Event log every day when the backup runs even though it is set to use the System Account: Event Type: Error Event Source: VSS Event Category: None Event ID: 13 Date: 6/19/2008 Time: 7:52:04 AM User: N/A Computer: DC01 Description: The user name OH\user specified in registry (SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\VSS\VssAccessControl) does not map to a real user name.

    - Can't access server via remote desktop connection I have an XP machine that I use to remote into our server that's located in another part of the building. The server is running Server 2003 R2 Enterprise Edition SP2. The server is set up to accept remote connections. Usually I can get in to it fine, but then every so often when I open the Remote log on box on my PC and click connect (after entering the log on info like normal), the Remote log on box just refreshes and won't let me connect to the server. Our fix for this has always been to reboot the server, then I can log in fine, but this doesn't seem right. Is there something wrong with our server? Or a setting that needs to be changed on it so I can reliable remote in to it? Thanks. Mark Tag: Blank screen after Windows 2003 splash screen Tag: 114921

    - Something is editing jpegs on my server Yesterday I posted a question about auditing file access and I got that working fine, but now that it's working I have a completely different problem. Starting last Saturday I found a few jpeg images were being edited (and backed up, and that's what started this) during times when no one was in the building. The first day it was only a few. Sunday there were a few more. More on Monday. Last night there were over 90. Nothing else on the server (Win2k SP4) that was being backed up, was something that wouldn't normally get backed up every day. So I turned on object access auditing for the folder(s) that contained the images and I found they were edited by the administrator account. We're using Norton Antivirus Corporate Edition and it looks for updates daily. I have a hardware firewall in place with every port (that I can get away with) closed. Has anyone heard about something similar to this? I've heard of viruses that destroy jpegs but as far as I can tell the only modifications to the files is their date/time stamp. TIA, -- Jordon Tag: Blank screen after Windows 2003 splash screen Tag: 114873

    - Adding a second RAID set Hi Our Dell Perc 4/Di had two disks in a RAID 1 configuration. Now we have added two more disks and have made another RAID1 out of these two. In Perc configuration old and new raid sets appear as two logical drives. However when I reboot the server it says 0 logical disks found. The only way for me is to take out the two new disks and reboot and then the original logical disk appears and I can boot into windows. What am I doing wrong and what is the correct way to add another pair of disks in a RAID1 while there is another pair already in RAID1 on Perc 4 /Di?

    - Debug of offline folders Hi, I've an ex-SBS2003 server (transitioned), where I use offline folders. However, quite frequently, my client PC will take the shares offline (whilst on a 100Mb LAN) saying the servers are not available. Server CPU hovers at between 20-40%. memory is pretty much 100% anyway thanks to Exchange.. No firewalls involved. But I dont understand why my client thinks the server isnt there. So - two questions: 1) Is there any debug I can enable on the client? 2) Network utilisation is <1%, ICMP roundtrip is 1ms, and with the server stats above, what else could be causing it to "timeout"? Would like to sort this as its quite annoying. Thanks, Adrian Tag: Blank screen after Windows 2003 splash screen Tag: 114865

    - Network Share file list refresh delays? Hi, I have a Windows 2003 R2 Enterprise server that is acting as a file share server, with several shares that clients mount. The problem I am currently seeing is files are being put onto the shares, but the clients are not seeing them - they exist locally, but clients are not seeing them in Windows Explorer, even after a forced refresh of the folder. Eventually the clients will catch up and the folders will appear to them, but often thats inconvenient timewise. Has anyone experienced this before?

    - Error code 0x80070035 - The network path was not found We recently purchased a pair of new servers and installed Windows Web Server 2008 on them. During the initial setup of the servers I was able to copy data back and forth from the existing 2003 Web Edition server and our 2003 R2 file server. Once I had all the data I needed on one of the 2008 servers I put them both on the DMZ and configured them identically. When it was time to transfer the data (C:\inetpub), or even browse, from one server to the other I was unable to do so. As I said before the servers are identical, the same users and shares on each, both are members of a workgroup called DMZ. The error message: Title Bar â?? Network Error Windows cannot access \\servername Check the spelling of the name. Otherwise, there might be a problem with your network. To try to identify and resolve network problems, click diagnose. Details: Error code 0x80070035 The network path was not found. If I click the â??Diagnoseâ?? button it tells me it canâ??t be repaired automatically. This happens in both directions, server1 to server2 and server2 to server1. Going from memory here is what I have tried so far making one change at a time, I think: â?¢ I can ping each server from the other â?¢ I can use â??webemtestâ?? to authenticate and connect from server1 to server2 and server2 to server1 â?¢ The Windows Firewall service has been disabled on both servers â?¢ Disabled UAC, this has been turned back on at this point â?¢ Set both servers to use LM & NTLM â?? use NTLMv2 session security if negotiated â?¢ The workgroup DMZ has been set to be a private network on both servers but changed back to public once and awhile, I think when other Network and Sharing Center features are turned on or off â?¢ Network and Sharing Center - Network discovery, file sharing, and password protected sharing are all turned on, printer sharing is not because I am unable to turn it on. Each time I try it resets itself to off after I click apply (Web edition limitation â?? no print services?). â?¢ File and printer sharing is enabled on the NIC â?¢ Each server has a static IP, these are different of course â?¢ I added records to the host file since DNS isnâ??t an option on Server 2008 Web Edition. There may be more but I canâ??t think of it right now. I tried everything I can think of short of calling Microsoft. Is this some type of limitation imposed by Microsoft? I know the web edition is supposed to be scaled down but seriously?! Do I need to run files to our web server with a USB stick every time I want to update a web page?

    - Automatic Updates options are all grey out for the for all the DCs Hi, Everyone, There is a weird thing happened to all the domain controller computers (all Windows server 2003 std) in our company. I have not noticed when exactly this started. It seems that the Automatic Updates options at our domain controllers are grey out. I used to check "Notify me but don't automatically download or install them" because i don't feel comfortable if i just let the updates automatically install to the domain controllers. But recently i noticed the all domain controllers just do the automatic updates and I am not able to change this settings because all the options at Automatic Updates (from Control Panel) are grey out. I checked the default domain group policy, all shows not cofigured for the windows updates. No other group policy linked to the domain controller OU. It seems this started to happen when I load some Windows critical updates to the servers couple of months ago. Does anyone know how to troubleshoot this or at leasts point me to the correct direction to check? Thank you very much for any help from you guys.

    - Volume shadow service Hi, I wanted to find out ... ideally in a microsoft windows 2003 network consisting of ISA Server 2004, Exchange 2003, domain controller, file server and sql server 2000 - what should one VSS? At the moment we are only using VSS on the file servers. Are their any other servers that one should VSS as per best practicses? Thanks Tag: Blank screen after Windows 2003 splash screen Tag: 114823

    - Backup Exec not talking to VSS on Windows Server 2003 R2 Hello all, I am not really sure where to put this thread so here goes. I have come into a company where they are having a problem backing up one of the domain controllers. I am seeing an error message ID# 13, Source: VSS. It is showing a username in the registry that is no longer valid. When I go to the properties of VSS it is showing to use the System account. My problem is this: 2 DC's, one getting a successful backup and the other is not. Both have the same error message, and both are configured the same from what I can see. Can someone help me with this issue? This is getting to be very confusing. Thank you in advance for all of your help. Tag: Blank screen after Windows 2003 splash screen Tag: 114820

    - Username and Password greyed out Here's one I've never run across before. I have a Windows 2003/SP2 domain controller that I remotely manage via logmein IT-Reach. The client called and said they couldn't log into the machine locally because the username and password boxes were greyed out. I tried to log in via logmein IT-Reach. I got the same thing. Straight RDP, same thing from both inside and outside the network. I'm not finding much on the net about it. This is the only server on this segment. Running AD, F&P, App, DNS, DHCP. I was hoping someone here has seen this before. The only solution I've found so far is to do a cold-start. TIA Jon Tag: Blank screen after Windows 2003 splash screen Tag: 114819

    - Clients lose WServer 2003 connection every afternoon Our network seems to be running fine, except that any clients still attached to the server (Windows 2003 SBS on a dual Xeon platform) around 6:00 PM locally lose access to the server. This means they cannot save their work or contact our time card system. The network was set up in late March and we have had no trouble. This has started recently, probably within the last three weeks. There have been no changes made to the network, policies, rights or such since early April. Any and all help would be appreciated.

    - How to backup network printers Hi All, I'm trying to find a way to backup and restore the network printer settings for a server I have to reinstall. I found PrintMig from MS but it seems it backup\restore only the settings for local printers and not for network ones. Does anybody have an idea about that?

    - New server and Exchange 2007 I am looking to put a new Domain Controller onto my network and am looking for advice/tutorials/step by step instructions even to add teh server and transfer all teh jobs from it to the new one i.e. DHCP, DNS etc. I am also looking to put a new Exchange 2007 box in to replace my current Exchange 2003 box. I am looking for specs for the server and for the best method of setting it up and transferring mailboxes etc to it. Once these jobs are both done, I need to completely remove the 2 current servers from teh domain. Again, I need some instructions on this as well.

    - Diskmanagement does not show drive letter Hi, Got a problemem with mounting drives on an windows 2003 Enterprise server SP2. After mounting a disk from a san the windows server does not show a drive letter to the mounted disk. Windows explorer does show a drive letter, windows command does show a drive letter but under windows disk management there is no drive letter assigned to the disk. If you want to add a drive letter to the disk it gives a error, but in you got to the explorer of command prompt you can browse to the folder and files. After a server reset a drive letter is assigned and is working fine. The reason why restating is not an option is that the mounted disk must be available for the backup. So restarting the server several times a night is not really a solution. Anybody an idea why windows is behaving like this, and even more important is there a know solution to it beside restarting the server. Thanks Tag: Blank screen after Windows 2003 splash screen Tag: 114801

I went to reboot a Windows 2003 Enterprise Server and upon the reboot and
Windows 2003 Splash screen it went blank and never came back. I have not
updated anything on the server. I found that if I go into F8 services and use
the last known good it sometimes comes back. The only thing updated on the
server was applications, such as COM+ packages. Has anyone seen this before?
If no OS patches have been installed, or system changes what would be causing
this?
