    - 2 windows 2003 DC hang problem Hello. IÂ´ve two windows 2003 std DC. This two DC are DNS servers of the lan. One of the servers has Exchange 2003. At 5 days ago iÂ´ve done an upgrade to 4 GB (maximum supported by windows 2003 std) to the server with Exchange 2003, and since that the server hangs, and do not generate any error in event viewer. The system freeze. All the client computers are Windows XP Professional, and are configured by DHCP and know the 2 DNS. When the server with Exchange 2003 goes down, iÂ´ve problems with users authentication (logon). I think the other server should kepp users authentications and computers working ok in the lan, but when users try to logon, the request fails ! IÂ´ve checked the AD and DNS replication and no problems were found. Why the other server does not respond to the client logon request? The problem of "system freeze" can be related with the quantitiy of 4 Gb of memory (i,ve already changed the DIMMS)? IÂ´ve done hardware diagnostic with HP smartstart CD, but no problems wer found.. Please, someone, help. Thanks in advance. Tag: Windows Home Server vs Windows Server Enterprise Tag: 112327

    - 2003 Server and domain upgrade from Server 2000 Hello, I am planning to upgrade 2 DC's running 2000 standard to 2003 standard r2.

    - NTBackup catalogs question \All Users\application data\microsoft\windows\ntbackup\catalogs51 is the repository of catalogs created by running NTBackup. One of my clients has about 1.5 GB of catalogs in this folder dating from 2006, 2007, and 2008, through today, and all but the last five have no corresponding backup data file (.bkf), because the files have been deleted. Before I go and delete these, is there any reason why I should retain them? Thanks in advance, Jim Tag: Windows Home Server vs Windows Server Enterprise Tag: 112303

    - How to have one server in a domain with a different TimeZone then the Greetings, I need one 2003 server in my domain to run on a different timezone for a specialized application that is time sensitive.

    - migrating from windows 2000 domain server to 2003 domain server first off, configuration is old windows 2000 domain server with 60 users in active directory new windows 2003 domain server with the same 60 users active directory both domain names are identical but not on the same network obviously workstation are mixed windows 2000 and windows xp professional i have installed windows 2003 server with all the latest SP's and updates from microsoft and it works just fine if i JOIN a new/exsisting computer to the domain. i am having a problem when logging onto the new 2003 domain server with workstations that were in the original 2000 domain. i do not want to re-join these workstations to the new server as it greats a new profile on each workstation and what a pain that would be sometimes it might take 2 or 3 logins then it logs in it seems as if the user login is (for lack of a better term) aware that this is a different server (or vice versa) i did some research and keep hitting on this SID situation can anyone point me in the right direction so i can just use the exsisting workstations and login to my new 2003 server. thanks in advance rich Tag: Windows Home Server vs Windows Server Enterprise Tag: 112296

    - Print Server Hangs We have a Win 2k3 SP2 R2 server, Dual 1400 Mhz, 2 gb RAM. It is hosting right around 200 Lexmark printers. (Its only purpose in life) Out of the blue, it will hang and nobody can print to it anymore. When you go to the console or RD to it it is basically unresponsive. What we have found is in the task manager "lmabcoms.exe" runs at %99 to %100 usage and is the culprit. A hard reboot and it is peachy again for a couple of days. During normal operation, lmabcoms.exe does not take any CPU cycles, just chugs along in task manager. I am wondering if anyone else has similar problems using Lexmark printers hosted from a print server. We are in constant communication with Lexmark about the issue but they have not been able to solve it yet. We have rebuilt the server from scratch on several different hardware platforms and continue to have the same problem. lmabcoms.exe is the process for the Lexmark Enhanced Port and Lexmark Network Port, at least thats what Lemark and our researching point to. We have even had Lemark send us their latest and greatest version of lmabcoms.exe. Any ideas? Tag: Windows Home Server vs Windows Server Enterprise Tag: 112286

    - Redirecting users Hi, I'm not sure if if this is the right forum but here goes. I have a problem in that I have a load of Word documents with attached templates that are on a now defunct server. The problem is that Word now hangs for a long time looking for its template on non-existent server(it has been moved to a new server). Further investigation showed that this location is hardcoded in the Word document. A guy called Terry Farrell on the Word discussion group said that the only solution is to use the Windows Server Redirect command to redirect any requests for templates on the dead server to the new location. Can anyone tell me how to do this? Also, where would any code go? in a login script? Any help would be much appreciated as this is causing a real problem for my users, Thanks, Chris Tag: Windows Home Server vs Windows Server Enterprise Tag: 112283

    - Permission on Files/Folders I had a typo in the subject...re-posting my question: Using a command line tool such as XCACLS.exe, XCACLS.vbs, SetACL or a similar tool, can we change the permissions so one user/group can only list files but not read them (to see how big the files are)...Effectively, list on all folders and contents but no read access...Is that possible perhaps with a combination of allow/revoke?

    - Question I am thinking of creating an own net for the servers so that they listen among if, but in turn, some of these servers, they should see the internal net for the users. I have all the servers with two net cards: NIC1: 10.0.100.x NIC2: 172.16.0.x My doubt. Server1 with 10.0.100.11 / 172.16.0.11 Server2 with 10.0.100.12 / 172.16.0.12 Server3 with 10.0.100.13 / 172.16.0.13 If I throw a process - do we put a robocopy - from Server1 to Server2 and do I want that he goes for the net 172.16.0.x, as I make it??, do I need a router?, to configure the switch??, static routes???

    - When you have to backtrack and downgrade a DC Okay, so I have this book from Microsoft that's basically a guide to get from NT 4.0 to Server 2003. Of particular interest is the section where they talk about going back to an NT DC if there's and installation error or something. Now basically the procedure is: Keep a BDC off line just in case. When something goes wrong, take all 2003 DCs off the network Promote the BDC to a PDC. And I would imagine this works fine if no computer had ever logged on to the new domain. But say you got everything up and running just fine on 2003 and a few days later decided you needed to go back to NT for some reason. This is the scenario I'm trying to simulate. And whenever I do this simulation, I can indeed put the domain back to the NT machine, but any computer that's 2000 or newer that has logged onto the new domain will not log back into the NT version. (specifically because it adopts the DNS naming structure of my new domain name). NT machines, of course, do revert back to the old domain with no problems that I can see. So is there any particular way to get one of these machines that's logged in to the 2003 domain to revert back to the NT domain without having to manually rejoin the domain on each computer?

    - Delete cached local copy of mandatory profile and non roaming domain user profiles ? Hi. We are currently looking to deploy some Windows XP workstations on a 2003 Domain for development purposes. We are using a mix of mandatory profiles and general domain users that have NO roaming or mandatory profile. We are finding that the XP workstations are storing a local copy of the mandatory profiles and the gerneral domain user accounts as well. Can anyone confirm whether Windows should automatically remove Mandatory profiles when the user logs off, and if so can anyone suggest why a copy of the profiles are being left behind ? Similarly can anyone recommend how we can allow users with a basic domain user account (no roaming or mandatory profile) to logon to our XP workstations such that their locally created profile is automatically deleted when they logoff ? i.e. no matter the user type (even domain admin if possible) we would like to remove any locally stored user profiles. Thanks, Alex. Tag: Windows Home Server vs Windows Server Enterprise Tag: 112270

    - Configuring Local Exchange POP3 / Dns Problems I am using Windows 2003 Enterprise which is overkill but we are running a specialized application that will not run on Windows Server small business. I have installed Exchange 2003 and plan to use iGetmail. My problem lies that I have evidently configured something wrong with DNS. My server name is topdog and my domain name is the same to which I will be receiving email. Now when I go to my server and attempt to use it, it doesnt recognize it as an internet address and comes back with a reply from its local address 192.168.1.101. Therefore when I configure the iGetmail program it doesn't recognize my mail server. This is probably over kill for a small office, but something I want to do and have some shared mailboxes, etc. Any assistance would be appreciated. Thanks.

    - Rights to run Server Manager from client? When we ran a Windows 2000 domain, I could appoint a certain number of selected staff members as "Server Operators". This enabled them to use Server Manager to disconnect sessions for students who had not logged off properly. Since we moved to Windows 2003-R2 (SP2) such a staff member can open Server Manager and when he/she clicks on a Domain Controller, he/she can control sessions. However when clicking on a Member Server, the message "Access is denied" is displayed As administrator equivalent I can get into both DC and Member server. It just affects "Server Operators". Client computers are Windows XP SP2. The server manager executable is V5.2.3790.1127. In all cases, SVRMGR.EXE is kicked off from the server share, not workstation (ie. \ \server02\reskit\srvmgr.exe) Is there some sort of security setting that I need to check on the Member server?

    - Access Denied to COM Security using Admin Account Hello, I was hardening the security of my windows server and i read the document about MSDTC that if you don't need it then disable. And this is exactly what I did. I stopped and disabled MSDTC service. And then i removed Anonymous Logon & Everyone permisson (Local Access & Remote Access) under component service for COM security. I restarted the server, logged in as Administrator and got access denied to most of the tasks such as creating users or adding users to group. The worst thing is that i can't even Right-Click on any object to check the properties. I tried to bring back the permission on the COM security but failed as Iâ??m getting access denied though Iâ??m logged in as administrator. Tried to restart MSDTC service but unsuccessful because i can't even right-Click on it. The event log is showing the following error. I can't read the detail message since right-click is not working. so Iâ??m posting the basic errors. System Logs: LsaSrv --> Event ID 40960 Datascrn--> Event ID 3 Application Logs: SRMSVC--> Event ID 8203 USERENV--> Event ID 1110 USERENV--> Event ID1090 ccsetmgr--> Event ID 48 Event System--> Event ID 4609 COM+ --> Event ID 4691 Does any one know how can i reset the COM Security permission and restart the MSDTC service?

    - How does Licensing Work I am curious about how the licensing works. I have a server that is running Windows Server 2003 and MSSql Server 2000. We have five user machines running XP. If I understand correctly, Win2003 and MSSql come with 5 Client licenses. What if I need to add another user? We don't use Active Directory are anything like that. We are only using the server to host the database that our application connects to. So, if I need to add a sixth user, do I need more licenses for Win 2003 AND MSSql? And what about Terminal Services? I am thinking maybe of moving our users over to Linux/Mac computers and having them access that one application via TS. How does that work in regards to licenses? And do I really need to setup another Windows 2003 machine to host the TS License Server????? Thanks. Griff Tag: Windows Home Server vs Windows Server Enterprise Tag: 112237

    - System Restore Hello, I'm trying to figure out what I have to back up on a routine basis so that I would be able to restore a server from the ground up if that server crashed. I assume that system state is one of the many things. However what does system state include? Any help in this area would be greatly appreciated!

    - VSS Catastrophic Failures Hi, Server 2003 R2 x64 SP2, Exchange Server 2007 SP1. KB940349 has been applied and resolved issues with our JetDB writers. We're having problems getting VSS to take snapshots for Shadow Copies and backups. It is now specific to the Exchange VSS Writer. We had BackupExec 12 installed and couldn't do an Exchange backup without having catasrophic errors. I have since switched to ArcServe 11.5 SP3 and the last Exchange backup went successfully. ShadowCopy snapshots however are still failing. After a clean reboot of the server, I can manually take a shadow copy snapshot and it completes successfully. I took one last night before the backup without issue. This morning I checked and the 7am scheduled snapshot didn't show up in the list. I checked the status of the VSS writers, and they're all Online with a normal status. The following errors were logged in the App log. -------------------------------------------- Event Type: Error Event Source: VSS Event Category: None Event ID: 12289 Date: 4/30/2008 Time: 7:02:32 AM User: N/A Computer: SERVER Description: Volume Shadow Copy Service error: Unexpected error WaitForMultipleObjects(1,000000000032A2B0,1,120000) == 0x00000102. hr = 0x8000ffff.

    - 3TB Raid, one 2048GB partition, will not let me create a 900GB one? Hi there. A year ago or so we built this monster server for files with a RAID-5 array it has just about 3TB of disk in it total. I just noticed today in Disk Management that we actually only partitioned 2048GB of it (I guess the limit for a single filesystem?) and that there is almost a 900GB 'unallocated space' block sitting there unused. Windows will not allow me to create an additional partition in that 900GB space. Any advice? -Drew Tag: Windows Home Server vs Windows Server Enterprise Tag: 112213

I have played around with Site Links on the internal network, and also currently use it live for DFS File Servers, and setting their priority (Primary and Redundant etc.) via Site costing. But I have never used this for external site linking. What ports are required on the ADSL modems to allow connectivity with each server? We are not creating any new domains, just adding a additional domain controller in the new office then linking it.

I am trying to roll out 08 Std and am running into problems with getting my count # to go up. I think I have narrowed it down to actual servers vs virtual machines. I have done 7 upgrades with 3 being actual and that is the number the KMS Server is showing as its current count: 3. I figured that it would be 7 by now, but its not.

My initial setup was to a local directory and that worked fine, However, for the production environment I need to utilize a virtual directory on another server. I setup a file share on the destination server to recieve the files and gave permissions to the folder to my ftp client. I set the authentication to the directory to the specified users (from pass though auth) When I test the mapping and permissions everything appears to be fine. When I try to connect however, I get "530 User cannot log in, home directory inaccessible" I could really use some assistance in troubleshooting this issue.

    - Operating System Chip I think it is a good idea to develop operating system on the electronic chip this idea will - solve historical error in building the PC computer and it will Limit the illegal copying of the operating system . - reduce the danger of viruses that strike operating systems and reduce the time needed to load the operating system . To clarify my idea in detail We should take these things in mind - operating system is part from computer - We can divide the operating system (the basics of data, identification data and update information) - There is no important reason to booting computer from Hard Disk. Now what are the new idea ? - Idea is to develop a system operating on the electronic segment, such as USB Flash or PCI segment or any other electronic slide - And this Chip is divided into two parts or more exists in the first section main programmes and basic data in the operating system in Section II identification data and any updating in the operating system - The computer will be boot from this Chip (first part is for readers only) - The operating system will use existing data in the second part could also use part from hard disk - In the end there will be no way to use illegal copies of the operating system only produces segments of the operating system and this will not only available For large companies. And when it can pursue this companies - It will also reduce the risk of viruses ----- I hope that the my suggestion is good also i hope that Microsoft examine carefully the my suggestion ... In the end I hope vote for this proposal I hope to benefit from . Thanks for all......... Signature ..

Last week, it started a spate of failed attempts which have become rather chronic. First, I followed advice to set the time source: w32tm /config /manualpeerlist:time.nist.gov,0x8 /syncfromflags:MANUAL net stop w32time net start w32time w32tm /resync Had no luck. I verified that TCP & UDP ports 123 were available to the server and tested successfully with: w32tm /monitor /computers:time.nist.gov I also re-registered the service with: net stop w32time w32tm /unregister w32tm /register net start w32time Also to no avail. I did find a hotfix related (830092), but it appears it is only for the 32-bit version. Anything else I can try? Tag: Windows Home Server vs Windows Server Enterprise Tag: 112156

*Automated daily backups of multiple computers
*Remote access
*Streaming music
*The way storage can be expanded including redundancy

am wondering if Windows SErver Enterprise can do all of the above as
well. Any input is appreciated.

yes.

If you have licenses to use for Terminal server, yes.

Maybe you can use diskpart.exe for your needs:
