    - Expanding a software RAID5 array in Windows 2003 Excuse the repost... for some reason my previous posts can't be found on the server. Does Microsoft filter postings from users that don't use a MS NNTP client? I've got a Windows 2003 Server. I have several 500gig hard drives assembled into a software RAID5 array. This array works well. I've just installed a new 500gig hard drive into this PC. It comes up in the Disk Manager and I was able to convert it to a dynamic disk, but I can't figure out how to add this drive to the array. I was able to do this the last time I added a drive to the PC, but I do not remember how. How do you expand a RAID5 array after installing a new hard drive into the system??? Also, a related question... How can you see how big a single partition assigned to a RAID5 array is? How can I see what size to allocate on the new drive to match othe existing drives in the array? All help is appreciated!!! Tag: SYSTEMROOT Command Tag: 115068

    - Offline folders in peer-to-peer environment Background: Friends have small shop with a W2000 server. They (9 users) log onto server and from there the primary application is to use QuickBooks in a workgroup mode. Exchange NOT on their server. They fetch their email from their internet webhost ( not ISP - just outfit that hosts their website and email - I'll call the webhost company ABC ). Currently the email service at ABC delivers their email to their PC's and then deletes it from ABC's server, leaving the only copy of their mail on each PC in the DocsandSettings\Username\...AppData\Outlook folder. They COULD buy a new server/disks but they are really just casual users and no one qualified to be sys mgr, so looking at options to keep it simple - even if they buy new box. Question: Can they 'map a network drive', then setup the " Outlook folder" on each PC to be an Offline folder , pointing to a folder on that network drive - either the server or another peer ? Maybe a USB drive with a folder for each user ? For this example, assume 3 pcs: PC1 PC2 Server PC1 fetches email from ABC as usual - goes about his business, when he logs off XP ( Vista ?) , that Outlook folder syncs with the remote folder ( either on PC2 or Server) leaving a backup of that folder on the server/peer ? I realize that " the other PC" must be there for this to work. Reason I mention not just server as option is: server disk space is getting tight - uses 2 SCSI drives now and tape - no room in case for another drive... and also if can sync with portable pc/drive then can get backup offsite too. Any opinions/options/related experience appreciated on how to handle. Bobb Tag: SYSTEMROOT Command Tag: 115066

    - FTP site on an ADC Hi , I have a Windows Server 2003 R2 Enterprise box which is an ADC and runs SMS 2003 SP3 primary site, a FTP web site and ISA 2006 to protect the FTP as well provide Web Proxy services. My FTP site is running quite nicely though I've heard the above mentioned setup is not good and can cause lots of unexplained problems. I have set up the FTPROOT directory to one of the partitions and what I have done to authenticate FTP users is this 1. I Created an OU called FTP accounts on the ADC and then create normal user accounts . 2.I Create FTP folders with the name of the client as the folder name .the same folder name is used to create the user account in the OU FTP accounts. 3. Once the user accounts have been created, i then proceed to set permissions on the individual folders inside the FTP root. eg- Suppose client is Siemens. so the FTP user account would be siemens. The new folder inside the FTP root directoy would also be siemens and then I proceed to give Domain\siemens Read\Write\Modify permissions to the siemens folder. I also deny permission to delete the folder,change user permissions or take ownership. this done when the user ftp's into the FTP site through IE 6 and authenticates ,it takes him directly to the correct folder ,leading the user to think he is at the home folder. He cannot traverse up as only the required folder is being shown . My real issue is that when the user FTP's in from Mozilla,Opera ,Safari,Unix or even IE7 or IE8 ,it takes him to the FTPROOT directory!!, in my case E: . This shows him all the other folder names and lets him see al the other FTP folders and since our company has rival companies as clientswho think they are the only ones whom we do business with,it's a real business killer!!! Is this because I have allowed the user group EVERYONE to list folder contents at the FTP root directory( E:) . Is there any way to limit the view of the FTP clients to just their folder. When I removed the everyone -list folder contents from the root,then nobody was able to log in to the FTP site. Also is IIS Lockdown tool good for my FTP site? Please help guys!!!

    - Disable NTFS Compression for Users Is there a method to disable users from compressing NTFS drives, folders, and/or files on a server? For example, if a user goes into properties for a network drive there is a check box option for "Compress drive to save disk space". If they check this option there are not denied access and the compression occurs. A couple users have already compressed their home folders. Luckily nobody has done this for the common shared folder yet. I played with this in the lab and it appears write access or higher allows a user to compress. This MS article says how compressing can affect performance so I find it odd it can't be easily disabled for users. "Best practices for NTFS compression in Windows" http://support.microsoft.com/kb/251186/EN-US/ I have done a lot of searching and have yet to find a good solution. I was hoping for a group policy method so it can be done centrally and quickly. This is the only possible solution I have found, 2 quotes from MS below. It would basically mean formatting the drive with a cluster size larger than 4 KB. I haven't tested this yet. I'm hoping there is a better way. "Because file compression is not supported on cluster sizes greater than 4 KB, the default NTFS cluster size for Windows Server 2003 never exceeds 4 KB." "The compression algorithms in NTFS support cluster sizes of up to 4 KB. When the cluster size is greater than 4 KB on an NTFS volume, none of the NTFS compression features are available." This is what I am working with. Client: Windows XP Server: Windows 2000 & 2003 Anyone familiar with this issue and its solution? Tag: SYSTEMROOT Command Tag: 115040

    - Shadow Copy and volume cluster size I am looking to set up Shadow copy on a Windows Storage Server2003. I have a primary volume that is presently 1.4TB. Technet recommends "Use an allocation unit size of 16 (KB) or larger on a source volume on which shadow Copies of Shared Folders will be Enabled. (Apparently there could be loss of files with defragmentation of the volume). The volume default cluser size is 4KB. I am considering splitting the size of this disK space into 2 volumes - One volume(D:) for files and the other volume(E:) for Storing Shadow Copies. Prior to loading any files and enabling shadow copy I have the following questions: Q: If the D volume is enabled for shadow copy but the actual copiesa are stored on a separate volume - is it still necessary to have the clustere size of this volume at 16 KB to eliminate any issues with defragmentation? Q: Should the E volume that just contains "Shadow Copies" have a cluster size of 16KB? Any comments or recommendations would be appreciated. Regards, ColdPolarBear Tag: SYSTEMROOT Command Tag: 115016

    - Ntbackup Hi all. I'm using Windows Ntbackup to backup my data (system state and office documents) on DLT and Ultrium (with windows 2000 server and windows server 2003) and all my test restores are always working perfectly. Today, browsing the Internet I found this article: http://www.windowsnetworking.com/articles_tutorials/New-Improved-NTBACKUP-Program.html where the author write: "My point is that NTBACKUP has never been completely reliable. You can use it to back up a system, but if you ever have to restore anything other than a few individual files, you never know what you are going to get." Do you agree with this article or do you think that windows ntbackup is a relaliable and professional solution? Thanks a lot to all, Rosgiof. Tag: SYSTEMROOT Command Tag: 115009

    - "Desktop Features" Hi It is not very common, but I make very good experiences using Windows Server 2008 as my Workstation OS - after installing desktop features (Media Player, Windows Mail, ...). But I have two little details, to fix: 1. Beside Media Player, "Windows Live Messenger Download" Icon is installed during desktop features installation; so everyone can install the program, if needed. Unfortunately this messenger app cannot be installed in this Server OS (error message). How can I still install it? Is there a possibility to temporary switch a specific registry entry, that Windows Live Messenger will "think" to install the program on Vista or XP? Which is this reg-entry? Or is there a better way to force installation? 2. It is a good thing to change the view of images in the file-explorer: Zooming in from the "Detail view" to a bigger size, Vista would show us the real picture in thumb nail size. Windows Server 2008 seems not to be able to show the real content of pictures in preview mode, even this feature would not only be good for me, but also on picture-file-servers browsing in a big amount of images. Is there a way to activate this "preview mode" for pictures in the file-explorer? Thanks a lot for your hint. Patrick Tag: SYSTEMROOT Command Tag: 115004

    - Group Policy - Accessing areas from open Applications Hi, We are ready to implement 6 new machines onto our network. These are solely used to access networked files through an application. The application uses word and excel. We have implemented Group Policy to heavily restrict what users can do (Remove My Computer, My Docs, My Network Places, Prevent seeing all drives). However when Excel / Word opens one of the networked files we have found that you can open / save to the C drive and access all areas of that. Is there a setting within Group Policy that also prevents users from opening / saving files from / to the C: drive when in applications such as Word / Excel?

    - Windows 2008 Cals and Upgrade paths Hello. I have one windows 2008 standard edition server I would like to know if I can upgrade this machine (by changing the key) to the enterprise version. I would like to run more than one virtual machine on this server at this point it time and would like the ability to do so. I am running window 2008 64 bit on 64 bit hardware using windows 2003 virtual machine (32 bit) Another question I have is if I run on windows 2008 DC do I have to upgrade all of my CALS. They are only windows 2003 cals. This machine would be my PDC and would not be serving shares to my users as they will continue to use the windows 2003 server at their sites. I want to upgrade one DC so I can have access to group policy perferences I believe this requires at least one windows 2008 DC. Or can group policy peferences run on a windows 2008 member server or a windows 2003 DC. Michael Tag: SYSTEMROOT Command Tag: 114983

    - W2003 profiles broken after password change I hope I'm posting to the right group, if not please let me know... Running Windows 2003 server, clients are all XP Pro SP2 and 3 mixed. Long story short: As far as I can tell the following holds true: User's account is set to require a change of password at the next login. User logs on to workstation, and is prompted to change password. User successfully changes password, and logs in. User's Lotus Note's icon points to C: drive, My Documents does not appear to remap to server. User logs out, logs into different machine, Lotus Note icon correctly points to H: drive, My Documents appear to map correctly. User logs out, logs back into machine where password change was performed. User desktop is still default, Lotus Notes icon points to C:. Log into any workstation other than the one where the password was changed and the user login works fine. A couple of things I have noticed: On machines where the user password was changed, a local profile is created for the user. User profiles on the local workstation have two options, local or roaming. Profiles on the workstation other than the user with the password change are set to roaming. You can check user profiles by going to My Computer -> Properties -> Advanced -> User Profiles -> Settings. The profile for the user whose password was changed is set to local, with roaming grayed out. Neither logging in as the Domain Administrator or the local administrator account will allow the profile to be changed to roaming or, for that matter, deleted. Only once the user has logged into another workstation can you then delete the local profile on the original machine (logged in as an admin). I downloaded a hot fix from MS (KB Article Number(s): 821425) but can't get it to install on the server, unable to locate update.inf. Any thoughts? Tag: SYSTEMROOT Command Tag: 114982

    - KMS Headache Here is the situation. I installed one 2008 box about a month ago. Initially I installed a KMS key before I knew about this feature. Since I didn't know how long it would be before I had 5 servers, I changed that key to MAK key. Well, now I am installing four more 2008 servers so I want to use the KMS keys on all servers. I have the KMS service running on a 2003 R2 domain controller. The four new 2008 boxes all register with the KMS server. I see their requests in the event log. The original 2008 server will not register with this KMS server so my other 4 servers can't get activated - the count is still only at 4. One the first server, when I run the slmgr -ato command, it says it is successfully registered yet the KMS server still only shows 4 attempts. So where is this first server registering and why won't it register as the 5th server? Is there a way I can reset everything on that first server? I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the product key. I have tried rearming the server and reinstalling the system license files. Any help would be appreciated.

    - Question Insufficient system resources on 64-bit Windows RSS Sear One of our customers has a 64-bit Windows 2003 Ent.SP2 domain controller on a VMWare Esx server. The VM has 1 CPU and 1 GB RAM allocated (adding up to 4 GB did not make a difference). Our application tries to dump the registry hives to files and it gets the 1450 error ("insufficient system resources...") on the SOFTWARE hive. The hive is not extremely big (exporting it from registry editor results in a ~75MB file). I have created a very basic sample application that just opens the registry key and calls the RegSaveKey API and we get the same error. Strangely, the "reg.exe" tool, which I would expect to use the same APIs, is successful and it results in a ~35MB file; I have used the save parameter, not the export which would generate a similar file with the one resulted when exporting from Registry Editor. I have tried to set the PoolUsageMaximum and the PagedPoolSize according to some KBs but it did not make any difference. Moreover, the theoretical limit for paged pool memory on 64-bit Windows is 128GB, while I can see that, when trying to save the SOFTWARE hive, the Total Kernel Memory grows up to less than 100 MB before returning the insufficient resources error. If I use the 32-bit version of my sample tool, I get the error even when trying to only dump the SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft key (although it worked on all subkeys); the 64-bit version is able to save the SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node but it fails with the same error on the SOFTWARE alone. There are many customers that use our application without any such problem so I am pretty sure that it is only a Windows configuration issue, but I can't get it working. The sample application that I use to repro the problem just calls: EnablePrivilege(sComputer, SE_BACKUP_NAME); LONG rc = ERROR_SUCCESS; HKEY hKey = HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, hKeyToSave = NULL; REGSAM regMask = KEY_READ; rc = RegCreateKeyEx(hKey, sRegKey, 0, NULL, REG_OPTION_BACKUP_RESTORE, regMask,NULL,&hKeyToSave, NULL); if (rc != ERROR_SUCCESS) { _tprintf(_T("RegCreateKeyEx error %u (%s)\n"), rc, sRegKey); break; } rc = RegSaveKey(hKeyToSave, sFile, NULL); Does anyone have any idea what can be wrong?

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.

    - 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?

    - 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: SYSTEMROOT Command Tag: 114921

    - Error on Task Scheduler Hello, I have problem on Task Scheduler on few Windows 2003 servers. Scheduled tasks were unable to run. The problem will be solved by rebooting server, however, same issue occured after a few days.

An error has occured attempting to retrieve task account information. You may continue editing the task object, but will be unable to change task account information. Anyone can help? I tried searching on the net but there's no concrete solution to this problem. Thanks in advanced. Tag: SYSTEMROOT Command Tag: 114909

    - VSS errors I have a domain controller that will not run VSS. Everytime I go to shadow copies i get en error, "Initialization failed. Error 0x80080005: Server Execution failed." Event Viewer says "Volume Shadow Copy Service error: Unexpected error NetGroupGetUsers(). hr = 0x80070005." Everytime i run the volume shadow copy service i get "Windows could not start the Volume shadow copy on Local Computer. For more information, review the system event log.

    - Lack of Server 2008 Applications Trend Micro now says that its Worry-Free Business Security Messaging Agent will not run on Windows Server 2008 until September or October. While I plan to complain to Trend Micro about this, my boss suggested that I complain to Microsoft as well. Does anyone have an appropriate e-mail address of someone to handle such a complaint? Six months is a long time to keep customers waiting for a product these days when the life cycle of the product is perhaps only a year or two. Tag: SYSTEMROOT Command Tag: 114901

Essentially I'm looking to automate as much of the process as possible, as right now I=92m adding and configuring the permissions on the home and Profile folders manually =96 and this needs to change.

What happens in the recovery console if you run the SYSTEMROOT command from
the root of the boot device? Is that command supposed to physically move
the system32 folder to be under the root? What does the command actually
do?

Nothing, it simply sets the current working directory to the directory the
variable %systemroot% resolves to. (generally windows or winnt)
