    - Disabling the POSIX subsystem on Windows Server 2003 to increase system performance? Gurus, If I disable the POSIX subsystem on my Windows Server 2003 computer, will I increase my system performance, even by a miniscule amount? I do not currently use nor do any applications that I have in my environment use the POSIX subsystem. -- Spin Tag: Limit access to one application only on RDP login Tag: 119751

    - Are admin permissions really needed? I have a vendor that is trying to tell me that they need Admin permissions on the Windows 2003 server to perform the following actions. They also thought they needed it for file creation and registry editing, which they don't, but I'm unfamiliar with the following and can't find much online. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks! 1.

    - DNS service causing DC to hang on reboot *posting here and in the DNS forum* DNS is causing my Domain Controller (Win2003R2) to hang on reboot. It freezes on "Preparing Network Connections". To determine it was DNS, I booted into Safe mode and disabled DHCP and DNS. The server booted normally and I was able to log in. I then enabled DHCP and rebooted server and the server booted normally. After I logged in, I then changed the DNS service to manual and started the service and it started successfully and my forward and reverse zones came up (active directory integrated) and all AD errors were cleared on this particular server (I have a total of 4 DCs among 3 different sites). Problems started a couple of weeks ago, when after a reboot, DHCP and DNS were not working. I had to manually start DHCP and although DNS was running, the zones were gone. After I restarted DNS, the zones reappeared and all was fine. The next week DHCP was fine, but again, the zones in DNS disappeared until I restarted the service. Now this week, DNS won't even allow the server to boot. Once DNS is started, replication appears to be working just fine between my sites, and my workstations and servers are happy. Any suggestions on fixing the startup issue when DNS is set to automatic? Seeing as though this is a DC, I probably can't just uninstall and reinstall DNS, can I? I will probably be running dcdiag to help confirm things are okay between all the DCs, but any other suggestions would be helpful if you have them. I'm just not sure why the DNS service is freezing my server upon startup. Thank you! Sara Tag: Limit access to one application only on RDP login Tag: 119745

    - Script needed to change the SourcePath value in my Windows Server 2003 Registry Gurus, I am trying to change just the SourcePath value in my Windows Server 2003 Registry via script. I want to change it from it's current value to "D:\ENGLISH\WIN2003\32BIT\ENT_WITH_SP1\I386". What kind of simple script would enable me to change just that one value? The path to that is: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion. -- Spin Tag: Limit access to one application only on RDP login Tag: 119735

    - Windows Server 2008 Task Manager Problem I don't know if I'm in the right group or not, as I cannot locate a specific Server 2008 category. Many times, when I attempt to bring up the task manager I am running into a problem. I can right click the task-bar and select task manager from the context menu or hit CTRL-shift-ESC, or CTRL-alt-Del and select task manger, or start it from the run line, but the result is always the same... task manger starts minimized in the task notification area, and when I right click to restore or close it, the context menu appears, but task manager never comes to the foreground. If I mouse over the task manager Icon on the task-bar, it shows a gauge that is jumping up and down, and a tooltip shows CPU usage at different percentages, however I cannot bring the task manager to the foreground to work with it! The context menu also is staying on the screen with "Always on Top" checked, but I cannot get task manager to come up. Clicking on task managers context menu does nothing and appears to be ignoring the clicks... the context menu does not go away. Is anyone else having this problem? I gargled it, but nothing related comes up. Any assistance would be appreciated. Tag: Limit access to one application only on RDP login Tag: 119733

    - Registry Error I am running Windows Server 2003 and Exchange Server 2003. I remote installed a System Center Data Protection Manager agent and needed to reboot my server. Having rebooted the server it now comes up with a blue screen stop error. The error is 0x00000051 and says it is a Registry Error. I get this error regardless of whether I am trying to load normally or in safe mode. Any ideas as to how i can recover my sever?

    - Robocopy Where is the home of current Robocopy information? The sync software we use doesn't work on 2008. I'm awaiting an install of Commvault which will include the replication so in the short term Robocopy seems to work well. Is there somewhere where Robocopy and all its versions, faqs, etc lives. It appears to be built into the 2008x64 OS I have installed and I've seen mention of also built into Vista. It appears to be a later build which includes the dcopy:t timestamps funtionality although this is not listed in the output of /? - doesn't seem to be much info about.

    - Robocopy /MIR question I am using Robocopy GUI 3.1.2.0 with Windows Scheduler to to copy/sync a folder from a client PC to a shared folder on a Microsoft Windows Home Server. The scheduler runs Robocopy every hour. I want to use the /MIR Switch to copy everything from the Client PC folder to the WHS shared folder and when a file changes or is deleted in the Client folder the change will be copied to the WHS shared folder or the file I ill be deleted in the WHS folder. People on other forums have told me that the /MIR switch purges/deletes the entire destination (WHS) folder when a source file change occurs then Robocopy copies the entire source folder to the destination folder again. Is this correct? I assumed that when the /MIR switch was used the changed files in the source folder would be copied again to the destination folder or they would be deleted in the destination folder when the source folder file was deleted. I didn't think the entire destination folder would be delete and then re-copied from the source. Which scenario is correct? Thanks for your help! -- Regards, Bill Artman Tag: Limit access to one application only on RDP login Tag: 119689

    - w2k3/IIS6 query on FTP logins? Learning here how to use windows Explorer to ftp data to our server, instead of using our FTP software. Seems pretty easy to do, but I've a question. w2k3 is supposed to allow you to both isolate or not, the user from all the folders in the vhosts folder, as I understand it. In setting up a simple FTP, I just used the Wizard and it ran fine...but I did note that when I tried to use same, I was asked for the id/pw and I had them for one of the sites on the server....but that made me wonder. When I'm using RDC on the server and settting up a new FTP service there, for a client whom I want to be isolated, I did NOT see anyway to create id/pw for them. Is there a way using IIS mgr in the console to do that? Did I miss it? Jim Tag: Limit access to one application only on RDP login Tag: 119680

    - Burning IMG file to DVD I downloaded Windows Server 2003 R2 Enterprise Edition with SP2 (Trial edition) Microsoft's download page says to download and burn the ISO to CD or DVD but the download is a IMG extention, not ISO.

    - Scheduled Task .bat file 0x1 Error I was having trouble getting a scheduled task to run on Windows Server 2008 that was calling a .bat file to run. Specifically, I was getting a 0x1 error whenever the scheduled task ran. The solution was to type in the path to the .bat file in the Start In(optional): in the edit action window. You get there by pressing the Edit button under the Actions tab. Here is an example path you'd type in if your .bat file is located under the temp folder at the root of drive c: c:\temp\bat I wanted to report this solution because it took me several days to discover this solution and I wanted to save someone else the trouble.

After thousands of times of entering usernames and passwords to get to the OS choices, fingers become numb.

I have read through the material at http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc739932.aspx around designing custom RIS experiences, but it recommends not to remove the logon screen, presumably for security purposes which, again, are not a concern here.

    - Server Migration and Browsing Issues Hello All. We're migrating our old servers (Win 2003 SP2) to Dell PowerEdge boxes (same OS). Last night we moved our entire file server, updated login scripts via group policy, and did the cut over. The box we moved our data from was the first server in our domain and is a DC running DHCP and DNS. It is now ONLY performing those roles (we're a very small business and couldn't afford to split the services). We duplicated the directory structure on the new box, however it is NOT a DC, only a member server with much more horsepower. From the user perspective everything is fine. They can access all their files, our backups are good, etc. However, on all of our servers the old drive mapping for the original server is still showing up when exploring. Get this: It "says" the drive is mapped to the old server, however in actuality it's pointing to the new server. We disconnect the drive and try to re-map it with the new information - same result. Old server/share name, new server in reality. In the event logs we're seeing Event ID #8032 Source: Browser - "The browser has failed to retrieve the backup list too many times" I tried turning off DNS and stopping/starting the Computer Browser service on the box in question, however this did not resolve. We're still seeing the issue. Any thoughts? Tag: Limit access to one application only on RDP login Tag: 119623

Every Friday we want to copy the "friday.bkf" to a share on our main site. copy and xcopy always stopped (this happened on both sites!!!) - even robocopy has a problem: Error 64: "The specified network name is no longer available" (ERROR_NETNAME_DELETED). As we used it this way: Source : d:\backup\ Dest : Z:\ Files : Thursday.bkf Options : /V /TEE /COPY:DAT /Z /NP /R:10 /W:30 the job restarted. But the created file is invalid. Tried Q325487 without any result. No entries in event logs, helping to solve the problem. Especially robocopy should be able to handle this problem, as it's restarting the work. So i am really confused, why the resulting files are invalid though. Any idea on what i can do to solve the problem? Thanks Günter Tag: Limit access to one application only on RDP login Tag: 119598

    - migrating or copying local user profile to a network account profi We have 6 PCs that are of various flavors of Windows. They were all separate and independent workstation. Recently, we purchased Small Business Server 2003 and created network accounts for our users. Now, when they login they have two profiles listed under Users (Vista PC, for example). However, their new network acct does not have all the desktop and functionality that they had with their local profiles. I know I can probably just copy the various folders from their local to their network profile but I understand there is a better way. What is that better way? I hear it is available in Small Business Server 2003. It's a pain to copy those folders then recreate their Outlook (Pop/SMTP) accounts all over again.

    - Hope this is the right forum! Looking for hardware advice... I've got a new customer in that we are going to develop an app for. Basically they process lots and lots of documents - PDF's and Word Doc's. Our app is going to let them drag-and-drop these files into a screen which will then "move" then automatically into a share on a file server. The app will also manage these files "via" a CASE NUMBER - so we are going to have MS SQL running with a database of these cases. Long story short... At any rate - there are not many users - dozen or so - so the MS SQL part is the least of our worries hardware wise. But the documents get into the GB's in size. Do you have any opinions on what a file server like this should be? Raid setup? Is SAN a solution? I know nothing about this stuff. I'm looking to help move them toward a solution and a vendor that can talk at this level with them. Any help you can give me would be greatly appreciated! My initial thought was that we would simply run MS SQL on this file server - since it's such a small part of the whole picture. No reason for another server...

This is just a Windows 2008 member server that I'm using for Virtualization with Hyper-V. I purchased a volume license copy of Windows 2008 Enterprise 64bit w/ Hyper-V. Server has been up for about 2 months now and i just noticed event ID 122293 recently and this event ID is beining generated daily for a couple of weeks. We don't forsee growing with Windows 2008 server for a while and Vista computers. So I don't think I need KMS and just want to clear up this alert. What do I need to do?

    - cannot set LanManServer Parameters on laptop on w2k3r2 Attempting to lock down various w2k3r2 laptop(s) using the Bastion host template (standalone, no domain) with secedit which has some settings under the /machine/system/currentcontrolset/services/lanmanserver/parameters registry hive key namely: RequireSecuritySignature EnableSecuritySignature EnableForcedLogoff AutoDisconnect AutoShareWks RestrictNullSessAccess and using supplemental .cmd scripts that run reg.exe or regedit.exe to set some of these parameters as well ... we are finding basically that no settings for this lanmanserver/parameters hive key are taking. Notes from a previous programmer who has left the company indicate that he had similar problems with lanmanserver parameters not taking under Windows Server 2000. That is why he attempted to set them explicitly in the registry using reg.exe or regedit, instead of just relying on the template applied with secedit. So, the question: is there a known problem trying to set lanmanserver parameters on laptops with Windows Server 2003 R2? We really need to set esp. RestrictNullSessAccess or are doomed to fail our accreditation test. Unfortunately, none of the methods he used, or that we have tried to set these parameters under lanmanserver are working so we keep failing the preliminary tests. regards, Cal Tag: Limit access to one application only on RDP login Tag: 119576

    - A question about using Low Level I/O API to read/write binary file I use Low Level I/O API (_open) to create a binary file. Then I use _chsize to set the size of this file (a big size). And then I _open this file for reading (get fd1), and _open it for writing (get fd2) and _write something to it. After that, I _read something from the beginning with fd1, but find: 1.I have written 65535 bytes to the file; (with fd1) 2.But I can only read 126 bytes out with the 3rd parameter as 1024. (with fd2) Is it possible? How to avoid it? Note: 1.Everything should have been done in a single thread. 2.I am writing an extension for another product, I must use fd instead of FILE* that's why I use Low Level I/O API instead of buffered FILE I/ O. 3.the following is part of my log: CStreamFileAccessor checkStatus, data length=65535. - CStreamFileAccessor checkStatus, written bytes=65535. - -- >result of write with fd2 CPlainFileAccessor updateStatusRecord, blockId=1,nBlocks=1. - CStreamFileAccessor call ::read, iHandle=3,uOffset=0,nBytes=1024. - -->request for 1024 bytes CConcreteFileAdaptor after reading, nCount=126. - -- Tag: Limit access to one application only on RDP login Tag: 119575

Natively, this isn't easy. You should post this in
microsoft.public.windows.terminal_services, and include more info (network
setup, what else runs on this server, etc).

Much easier to do this with Citrix using published apps. As Lanwench
mentioned, it's very difficult with TS.
