    - File Auditing Issues I would like to setup file auditing on our file server to see who is deleting files. We are using Server 2003 Enterprise which is the domain controller. Here is the problem. I go into the Group Policy Editor and enable auditing on "Audit Object Access." Then I add the ACL on the certain folder on want to watch. In my security log, I get a new entry every half second barking about successful registry changes. This machine has never been touched in terms of setting up auditing. I have gone to "regedit" and looked at the permissions on each root folder. No auditing seems to be set at the root. What can I do to stop the auditing of the registry? Is there an easy way to see all ACL's that are set? Thanks! Tag: Server 2003 Stardard SP1 to SP2 Tag: 102735

    - ASP.Net Windows Component Not installing properly Get this error messaging when I run wbemtest.exe and try to connect to the root\ASPNET. Number: 0x8004100e Facility: WMI Description: Invalid namespace Tried uninstalling and reinstalling the ASP.Net Windows component. Even tried uniinstalling and reinstalling the IIS application components. Still get the error message. Any ideas how to fix this without rebuilding the server from scratch. So far, talking to people, they said the only way to fix the problem is to rebuild server. Tag: Server 2003 Stardard SP1 to SP2 Tag: 102734

    - An error has occured while establishing a connection to the server I've recently set up a Windows 2003 Server SP2 enterprise system to handle SQL Server 2005 connections to data bases. The Windows server is on a WorkGroup - not a domain, and I've set it up as an application server. I installed SQL Server 2005 Enterprise, I ran the services configuration tool and set it to allow both local and remote connections, and to use tcp/ip. I can see the Windows server pn the network, and can access the default shared printer folder, but that's it. I can't seem to access SQL Server at all, and no matter what I do keep getting this error message: An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server. When connecting to SQL Server 2005, this failure may be caused by the fact that under the default settings SQL Server does not allow remote connections. (provider: SQL Network Interfaces, error: 28 - Server doesn't support requested protocol) (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: -1) It doesn't matter what I do to attempt permission on either the client machine or the host, it always returns the same message. I asked this question on the SQL group wich returned one response asking whether I've openned the ports for SQL on the firewall, and yes I have. So far, all client machines are Vista Ultimate with SQL 2005 developer edition and Visual Studio 2005. I could really use some hand holding with this - any takers?

    - Registry editing Hello all, I have been trying to install McAfee ePolicy orchestrator on my windows 2003 server. When I launched the install files for one of the component of McAfee the system tells me that: 'The setup program cannot be run under a user account other than the logged on user. When I went to McAffe support they provided me with this solution: IMPORTANT: These instructions are intended for network and ePO administrators only. This article contains information about modifying the registry. Before you modify the registry, make sure to back it up and make sure that you understand how to restore the registry if a problem occurs. For information about how to back up, restore, and edit the registry, see the following Microsoft Knowledge Base article: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/256986/EN-US/. 1. Back up the ePO server Registry to a network share. 2. Open the Registry Editor and navigate to the following registry key: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon] 3. Double-click the string value Shell. 4. Change Value Data to Explorer.exe. 5. Close the Registry Editor. 6. Run setup.exe again. Cause The installer cannot find Explorer.exe in C:\Windows as specified in the Shell string value within the following registry key: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon] - Now when I go to run Regedit.exe the system does not respond as if nothing was send to process (No prompting windows.....). I have downloaded a s;mall software called registry jumper but when i run it to open a registry it tells me that: ' Can not launch Regedit.exe'. I am desperatly needing to install this McAffe since virus has caused a disaster to our network. Would you help me diagnose this problem so that I can edit the registry. Thank you for your understanding. Tag: Server 2003 Stardard SP1 to SP2 Tag: 102723

    - Windows Home Server Connector Client Crash Please forgive the posting here - there seems not to be a Windows Home Server group. Could someone help me with some ideas of what to check? I'm running Windows Home Server (OEM edition) an on older system that was used for all phases of the beta testing with no problem. The OEM version was installed and all connector software updated on 5 systems - all okay for a month. Yesterday there was a power outage and although the server is on a UPS it reported one of 3 external drives was bad. That was cleared but the server constantly reported that the backup service was not running so I wiped the drives and re-installed the home server software including the connector client on all systems. All are fine except for my main PC where the counsole client crashes after the password is inputed and continue is clicked. The log error is: Faulting application WHSConsoleClient.exe, version 6.0.1500.6, time stamp 0x46e0a8e1, faulting module ntdll.dll, version 6.0.6000.16386, time stamp 0x4549bdc9, exception code 0xc0000005, fault offset 0x00062613, process id 0x19a4, application start time 0x01c8383b04b414f3. All console client installs on the other 4 systems work fine. Any ideas? I'm stumped. I have reinstalled the client on this PC numerous times with no change.

    - Designing Server 2003 multisite Licensing setup, CALS Need help designing an effective licensing setup for our network. article reference: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserver2003/howtobuy/licensing/caloverview.mspx If you can answer any of my questions, i appreciate it. We currently have 11 geographic sites. Each location has its own server 2003 domain controller. Everyone in the business maps a drive to the main location's server. All, office's are connected via WAN. I have setup each server to be its own license server in sites and services. Employees may move around and work at different locations depending on what is going on. I would like to buy device CALS (more employees than computers) QUESTION #1: SERVER MODES Should I use Per User/Per Device mode or Per Server mode. The article above says I can use either server mode with either license types. Can I use different server modes on different servers or do they all have to use the same server mode in the same domain? I would like to buy say 150 device CALS and put the main server in "Per server Mode" and add 150 CALS to it. Then each branch office location would be in per server mode with say 10 CALS - 7 computers at each branch office and extra CALS installed for System Admins to connect to the servers for backups or maintenance. So, technically speaking, I would have the main office configured to use 150 CALS + 100 CALS total at the branch offices = 250 CALS when we only purchased 150 CALS. Is this how it is suppose to work? Can I mix the server modes on different domain controllers? The person who originally designed the network setup the main server in â??Per user/deviceâ?? mode and added 10,000 CALS. I know I cannot go back, but is this will this mess anything up. QUESTION #2: HOW DO THE SERVER MODES TRACK CALS. My understanding is that when you are in Per server mode the server only tracks concurrent connections. When a computer disconnects, by say shutting down the computer, does the server free up a CAL? And when you are in Per User/Device Mode the server keeps track of users - and then you have to revoke users if they no longer work there or else new employees or employees who move from branch to branch will be denied access. Is this correct? Does each computer keep a registry entry of is license status in the domain? QUESTION #3: IF SOMEONE PRINTS TO A PRINT QUEUE AT A REMOTE OFFICE DOES THAT COUNT AS A CAL?

Well, when i create a virtual server with virtual PC in Lab, i configure the disk space of the virtual machine. But when the server was in production (with virtual server) if i have a sql database and the free space on the virtual disk was very low, is it possible to extand the size of the virtual disk ( of course i have a physical hard disk with free space) ?? I shut down the virtual server and resize the disk ?? -- best regard Tag: Server 2003 Stardard SP1 to SP2 Tag: 102690

    - Forest Trusts Hi! I have two Windows 2003 servers : SERVER1 (W2K3 R2 SP2) and SERVER2 (W2K3 SP2). Each server is acting as a DC for its domain which is in its own forest : SERVER1 is DC for DOMAIN1; SERVER2 is a DC for DOMAIN2. Both servers are on the same LAN (no router, no firewall). The DNS on both servers are set up correctly, with a stub zone pointing to the other server. I established a two-way transitive trust between both forests, using the Active Directory Domains and Trusts snap-in. I chose the Forest Wide Authentication in both ways of the trusts. My purpose is to enable users from the domain DOMAIN2 to have their Exchange Server 2007 mailboxes hosted on the server SERVER1 which is acting as an Exchange Server for users from both domains. My issue is not Exchange related (not yet!). From the start, I can see that I have an authentication issue since I can't browse some shared directories on server SERVER1 from a workstation in domain DOMAIN2 (user belonging to DOMAIN2 and logged on DOMAIN2): I am asked to enter some credentials (if I enter a username/password from DOMAIN1, it's OK, I can access the shares on SERVER1). I don't want to be asked for some credentials (it will prevent Outlook 2003 from working, since Outlook is trying to access to the Exchange server situated on the other side of the Trust). Any idea? What am I missing? Help greatly appreciated. Nicolas Tag: Server 2003 Stardard SP1 to SP2 Tag: 102686

    - Automated backup/mirroring 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? Tag: Server 2003 Stardard SP1 to SP2 Tag: 102683

    - 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?

    - 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.

    - 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: Server 2003 Stardard SP1 to SP2 Tag: 102654

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.

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.

    - 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: Server 2003 Stardard SP1 to SP2 Tag: 102569

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.

    - VPn Error, wrong forum? Thanks for any help I posted elsewhere, but i need all the help i can get.. here is what i have, i can get to the internet through either connection, I can setup a vpn session to 10.0.1.106 from my local pc (10.0.1.107) and it connects, but if I try and go from 10.0.1.107 - internet my ip on the wan side of my router, i get the 721 error. I use the same user name and password on both connections in my router is forwarded ports 41-47 to 10.0.1.106 1723 to 10.0.1.106 maybe i dont have port 47 setup right, i just set it up under port forwarding to go to my win2k3 sevr pptp pass through is enabled. Please suggest anything, I have tried most things I have found on the internet, including disableing nic 2 until the svr boots up, still not working? router --- hub --- win2k3 server nic 1 10.0.1.5 -- 10.0.1.106 other side router --- hub --- router --- w2k3 svr nic 2 10.0.1.5 -- 192.168.15.1 -- 192.168.15.2 internet to wan side, gets up to verifying username and password, then gives the 721 error I justed checked with Comcast and they say they do not block GRE packets Also I have a linksys router. What confuses me is that if i us the intrant i can log on no problem, its just when i use the internet i have to problem. thanks Tag: Server 2003 Stardard SP1 to SP2 Tag: 102566

After installing SP2 on my DC I found that I was unable to login through
terminal services to my terminal services server (not on the domain). I
received the "RPC server unavailable" error when I attempted to login.
However I am able to login directly to the console.

Is there a work around of a fix to this issue? Do I need to provide more
information?

I have exactly the same problem with servers running sp2
I have a case with MS for this and they provided the same info as Wolf
has given
I got an answer that MS does not advice you to use RDP when updating
8-o
something I have been doing for many years now
the case is still open
