    - File access auditing Server 2000 SP4 running AD. I have read many posts about how to log file and folder access, but it doesn't seem to work. I've enabled auditing of object access in a group policy on the domain controller. I've changed the properties of the folder to be audited and added the groups to audit and what's to be audited. Nothing shows up in the security event viewer when files are accessed, changed, added or deleted. It's got to be something I've overlooked. Can anyone steer me in the right direction? -- Jordon Tag: Home directory maintenance Tag: 114827

    - 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. John Tag: Home directory maintenance Tag: 114825

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: Home directory maintenance 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 It is showing a username in the registry that is no longer valid.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: Home directory maintenance 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: Home directory maintenance 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.

    - 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: Home directory maintenance Tag: 114801

    - NTBackup - The device reported an error on a request to write data to media. Hi, I'm having some problems with NTBackup. We currently have 5 servers which we have two NTBackup jobs set-up on each server. One backup job for each server is for backing up system state. The next backup job which runs after that backs up the files and then the system state backup. The problem that I am getting is that on some days the backups on different servers fail, its currently random as to which backup will fail and on what day. When they fail the error log always contains the following: Error: The device reported an error on a request to write data to media. Error reported: Unknown error. Then if it was an exchange backup Error: SERVER\Microsoft Information Store\First Storage Group is not a valid drive, or you do not have access. If it was a file backup (the drive letter will change depending on where the files are being backed up. Error: E: is not a valid drive, or you do not have access. If I go and run that schedule task again it will succeed. Because the backups can run perfectly I think that the error which is being reported is not correct because obviously the drives are accessible. What I'm thinking it could be (I'm guessing here) is that maybe this is the error that you get when doing a backup across the network and maybe the network connection drops out for a second. I really need to get this sorted and working, does anyone have any ideas on what I should do here? Cheers Damon Tag: Home directory maintenance Tag: 114788

    - Bare Metal Domain Controller Migration Hello, We have a domain controller running on a dell 2850 server which we want to migrate to a new piece of hardware. This machine is a domain controller, smtp server and DNS server. For a host of reasons we need the new hardware to run a domain controller with the same name and same IP address as the currently running domain cotroller. We have started to investigate products from Symantec, PlateSpin and Altiris. One of the reasons we feel like we need to look at such products is that we don't feel like the server can be down for an extended period of time. To do this manually would require demoting from the domain, changing the name, IP, etc. Then Bringing up new server, promoting to DC, configuring smtp, etc. This would take a long time if it went smoothly with no problems. Any advice you might suggest or vendors that would be helpful would be much appreciated. Thanks. Tag: Home directory maintenance Tag: 114785

    - How can I confirm I can access an NTP server Greetings, I really would like to see a 593 event showing up in the system log, that to me would be positive confirmation. I have bounced the time service, done a w32tm -s (it's a 2000 box), and the /querysntp returns the correct value. My 11 warnings have stopped, but I would feel better if I got some "positive feedback" so I know the new time server is actually working for these servers. On one of my servers, I got a 593 shortly after bouncing the service, and this one has the Update Rollup for SP4 installed, the other two servers don't and they don't get the 593 after bouncing the services. I don't know if this make's a difference. If anyone has any information on this topic it would be most appreciated. Thanks! Tag: Home directory maintenance Tag: 114776

    - "replacing invalid security ID" message leads to an hours-long scan on startup, how to fix? I have a 2003 Windows Server server that on startup starts an hours-long scan of the filesystem saying: "replacing invalid security id with default security id..." I think this might have resulted from an automatic RAID rebuild of the disk, though I am not certain. The files behave normally once I abort the scan. I am wondering how I can fix this while the server has Windows loaded up. I don't want the server offline for hours and hours. The server is local to me and I have full administrator rights on and total control over the system. Ideas? Thank you, -KF Tag: Home directory maintenance Tag: 114765

    - Multiple Connections for Mapped Drives I have situation at a site where we have login scripts mapping a "home" folder for users that create a "W:" . This mapping seems to lock access back to the server when I try to access the server with the administrator account while still being logged on as the user on the local machine. As soon as I disconnect the "w:" I can then authenticate to the server as administrator. Steps I have taken: 1.) reset permissions on the users shared home folder. 2.) deleted local profile 3.) checked "open shares" on server to make sure the account does not already have a file or directory open or locked. There are 7 or 8 other mapped drives in the users profile. And only when I delete this one does it allow me to authenticate to the server as administrator Any help would be useful.

    - Print Server Sizing/Best Practice Hello, We are moving from Novell (NDPS) print servers and LPR printers to Windows print servers. Since I haven't configured such an environment before, I have begun researching my options and thought I would post here as well. I'm familiar with how to configure a print server I but I want to make sure it's appropriate for our larger environment. AD running on Win2k but will soon be 2003 R2 or 2008. 1,300 users 1,100 xp machines 20 or so HP LaserJets on the network Roughly 65 Xerox network multi-function printers that are managed by Xerox Managed Services. I just want to make sure that performance does not suffer and that reliability and redundancy can be achieved. We probably don't need instant fail-over but I would say it's acceptable if the users can't print for an hour or two (mgmt. is getting this together soon.) Deployment is up to the Workstation team/Xerox but I'll be working closely with them and would really like to automate it as much as possible. GPO, Con2Prnt, rundll32, etc..... I was thinking of using VM's on our SAN so we could utilize VMotion and HA. Maybe even use some VM's and a physical box as well. I was hoping there was a way to print to a group of servers or something like a cluster. I don't think we will be able to create a true cluster as I've never done this before and we would have to purchase additional hardware but it's not out of the question. I'll be researching this but I would appreciate any advice! Thanks, Tag: Home directory maintenance Tag: 114754

    - mail server problems Apologies in advance for being something of a novice! I'm attempting to install the communigate pro mail server on my windows 2003 server vps.. It all went smoothly apart from the webmail service. For some reason, even though the http user port (8100) is open listening, I can't get any external connections through. I can connect to the webmail service fine locally. Likewise, all other http services of the mail server, admin etc. work fine locally, but not from the internet. But I can connect to the mail server fine through pop3 methods etc. over the internet and it's relaying mail fine through smtp. I've tried disabling the firewall and IPSec to no avail.. so I can't understand what's blocking access to the thing! After attempting to fix it for about 2 days now I think I need help ;-) Would really appreciate somebody pointing me in the right direction. Cheers, David Tag: Home directory maintenance Tag: 114731

    - Windows 2008 Server - cannot copy files from server to another machine; reverse works ok Hi! My Windows 2008 Server started acting up on me all of a sudden. Every time I try to copy a larger file from it to a network share on another machine, it freezes, reporting that the local file I am trying to copy cannot be found ("Item Not Found" error dialog", or that there is a network error accessing the local (!)file. Sometimes the copy works a bit at the beginning, then the speed crumbles to < 10KB/sec, and the errors pop up. All machines are in a Windows 2003 AD, the 2008 box is a workstation, not a dc server. I managed to disable all advanced tcp features (RSS, Chimney offload, receive windows tuning, congestion control), and now I can at least transfer files to a Windows 2003 server (slow; 4MB/sec). Transfering to vista x64 (also with modified txp features) still doesn't work. What's funny is that going in the oposite direction - putting the files onto the windows 2008 server box - works without a hitch. From the Vista box it goes with cca. 11 MB/sec. Any hints on how to fix this? The 2008 Server is my primary development workstation and this is a *major* pain. Thanks & Best Regards, Sigmund Tag: Home directory maintenance Tag: 114729

    - Map a range a port to a computer in server 2003 I've set up a home server, which acts as a router by using the Routing and Remote Access tool in Windows Server 2003.

    - Server Hangs Greetings, My Win2K3 SP1 domain controller locks up every day and I have not been able to find a reason for the lock-up. The Event Viewer shows no errors and no STOP errors are generated. The controller simply does not respond to keyboard, mouse, or network communication, requiring a reset to bring it back up. When it does reboot, there is no indication that anything went wrong. This started occurring shortly after I implemented a software mirror on my C:\ drive (boot drive). In fact, after rebooting, the mirror always resynchs. Could it be that there is an issue with the software mirror? Short of breaking the mirror, are there any diagnostics that I could run? If the mirror is the cause, what could be leading up to the lock up? Could a bad drive in the mirror array (there are two) cause a lock-up? The computer is not overheating and there are no exclamation points in the Device Manager display. After rebooting, the mirror resynchs without error and the system hums along fine until the next lock-up. No dump files are generated. Are there any monitoring tools that I can run to audit the machine activity so that I could review a log file after rebooting from a lock-up? Please - any help is very much appreciated.

    - Allowing a given port to only be access by a given application Hi, Is it possible to configure windows server 2000 or 2003 to only allow a given port to be used by a given application, e.g. application named fred can only use port 123 and no other application can ever use port 123. The reason for this is that occasionaly the application must be taken down and during this time other applications can grab the port so when fred comes back up it cannot run on that port. I am not a server expert and it is not my applications, but a client was experiencing this situation and I thought I would ask around if there was such a configuration that could be put in place.

Hello Will,

Go to the shared folder where the home folder is stored and delete it. If
you get access denied you have to take ownership via security tab and advanced
options.

Best regards

Ok you confirmed what I was thinking. I do have to take ownership.
What a pain. But since I am not dealing with more than 20 users ....so be
it.

Thanks
