    - Why do clents and my new E2k3 server that exists in the root forest I have a root domain 'parent.com'. I have a child domain 'child.parent.com'. Lately I've been noticing on my router syslogs that some of my XP clients on parent.com have been hitting the child ADC over tcp 389 and 88. Also, a new E2k3 server I built on parent.com last week is hitting/receiving traffic over tcp 3268 & 389 to/from the child ADC. Shouldn't this traffic be directed to the parent.com ADC/GC? I've also noticed that the E2k3 server is sending Echo requests to the child ADC about every 10 mins. I've checked my 2 parent ADC's and they are both GC's. Any help would be appreciated.

    - Moving a Terminal Server Licensing Server Hi all. Looking for a quick answer: I have a client with a Terminal Server with TS licensing installed on the TS itself. Because the TS is malfunctioning, we are replacing it, but before doing so we need to install TS Licensing on the domain controller and migrate the licenses. Can anyone tell me the easiest way to do this so as to ensure we don't lose the previously activated licenses? Thanks in advance! Jamie Tag: Windows Server 2003 DNS Server question Tag: 109881

    - Windows 2008 & Win XP Client blues - Network name cannot be found Hi, everyone! I've just installed Windows 2008 Enterprise in a Virtual PC 2007 virtual machine. The server is set up as a PDC with it's own domain forrest, and has a DNS server. DNS resolves Ok, but I have 2 major issues. 1) If connecting to/from WinXP / Windows 2003 computer, the network share is visible, but I cannot copy files. The operation fails after a few seconds, with the "Network name cannot be found" (or "is not available") error. This works OK, if the client is Vista, so I presume it's a SMB 2.0 issue. Any hints on how to force the w2k8 box to use SMB 1.0? 2) From the w2k8 box, I cannot browse to www.microsoft.com, www.mozilla.com, and a few other international sites. DNS resolution works fine (ping is ok), website is found, but I get stuck on the "waiting for response". Local (in my country) sites work fine; everything works fine from other computers in my main domain. Help would be appreciated.

    - New SBS 2003 R2 server does not respond to ping I have just added a new SBS 2003 premium server to my exisiting 2003 server and have assigned the new server the DC role. Eveything seemed to be ok apart from GPO that doesn't work the old server and the clients are all expecting it to come from the old DC, so I ran dcdiag and it reported that the new SBS DC does not respond to ping and gave Win32 error 11010. I have checked and I cannot ping from the command line on any client. Everything else works fine on the new DC all help appreciated.

    - Hyper-V, RAAS woes. . . Please help My Hyper-V Guests cannot traverse through NAT to gain internet access. I followed the guide by John Paul Cook linked her http://sqlblog.com/blogs/john_paul_cook/archive/2008/03/23/using-wireless-with-hyper-v.aspx Here are the steps I took. 1. Install Windows 2008 Server 2. Setup static IP on physical network card 3. Deploy Hyper-V roles 4. In Virtual Network Manager created an internal only network 5. Define the newly created internal network with IP: 192.168.1.1 Subnet 255.255.255.0 6. Deploy RRAS 7. Configure NAT 8. Pointed public interface to the physical network card 9. Pointed internet network to the internal network 10.Disable firewall on host in relation to the internal network Guest OS receives DHCP from the RRAS Guest OS is able to ping 192.168.1.1. Guest OS is able to resolve internet DNS name. Guest OS cannot traverse through NAT to the internet. My primary goal is to enable Guest OS(s) ability to reach the internet. But I have no idea whatâ??s wrong with my configurations. Tag: Windows Server 2003 DNS Server question Tag: 109864

    - NTBackup fails, Insufficient memory available I've got a Windows Server 2003 sp2 DC, patched completely up to date. Over the past few months I've been having an intermittant problem with it failing with the message "Insufficient memory available". It writes an 8017 message into the Event Log. The server only has 512mb, but the only function it servers is backup, and typically the is over 150mb available. I've checked out kb828402. I have a later version of NTBackup, so the hotfix won't install. NTBackup version 5.2.3790.3959, which includes the hooks for backing up Exchange. I've also tried the jsiinc.com tip to deallocate the tape. The job still fails every three or four days. Any ideas? Tag: Windows Server 2003 DNS Server question Tag: 109862

    - Printer Server and Client Drivers This might be a shot in the dark, but we recently created a new windows print server running on Server 2003 R2, to take over for our aged server 2000 print server. All the queues seem to work and you can print to the printers on the new server just fine. However, we have a very simple script that runs on various machines to add a default printer. This script has always worked just fine with the old server, but when we change the script to point to the new server (just replacing the server name because the print queue names are the same on both) we sometimes (NOTE I said SOMETIMES) get a script error of "The remote procedure call failed". Also, if the script fails, and you run it manually after finishing the logon (the script is a logon script) then it will generally work fine. We went round and round on this and finally ran a packet sniffer on the traffic. One thing we noticed is that one the failed attempts, the client seems to be trying to download a printer driver from the new server. Hard to say from the packet capture if it was successful, but we HAVE determined that even though the new server has a much newer print driver, the clients always use the older driver they apparently downloaded from the old server. We've also received occasional reports of people adding printers from the new server and not getting a driver properly. My questions are this: 1.) Is there anything I need to do to allow the print server to download drivers? Is there anything (permissions etc) that could interfere with that? 2.) If a client has an older driver than the one the server has, will it attempt to download the newer one? If so, how often will it attempt it? Every time it tries to add the printer?

    - Add Printer to All Users? Hello, We don't use roaming profiles. We are testing out using a Windows print server, however, we found out that the Windows printers are dependent on the user profile of the logged in person. So the help desk can't install printers logged in as themselves because when the user logs in the printers aren't there. Is there any way to get around this so that printer installs would be workstation associated and not associated with a particular user? We are also concerned about when a user logs into a workstation other then there own they won't have any printers. Could printers be associated somehow to "All Users" or the workstation so that whoever logs in will get the printers? Thanks for any suggestions!

However recently there was a motherboard failure and though i have a 4hours response contract for this server, it took a whole day to recover the server. And for the whole day many various department could not print to the respective printers. Hence my question is what kind of contigency you guys have for such print server. Thks in advance.

    - Windows Server 2008 GUI Hi, I am now struggling with a number of the great improvements Microsoft did to Server 2008, in particular: - RegEdit don't have "closed" and "open" folders in the left treevew pane anymore. All folders regardless of state are just pale yellowish supposedly beautiful pieces of useless work. If the right pane (values) is selected, one can't tell which folder the values belong to. Is there any way to fix it and may get the old good 2003 icons? - WinMail panels now use 1 pixel wide splitters. To resize a panel, I now have to position the mouse exactly on that 1 pixel line, which is it least 5 times harder than in Server 2003. Have anyone tried to do it via RDP on a Windows Mobile Device? Is there any way to change the thickness of the splitters? Thanks, John Tag: Windows Server 2003 DNS Server question Tag: 109771

    - Virtual server limitations of Windows Server 2008 Standard x64 I ordered an 8 processor, 32gig RAM server from Dell today and the pre- sales rep told me that Win2K8 x64 Standard was limited to having 4gig of memory per VM with standard and that to go above 4 gig I'd need the Enterprise version of Win2K8. I hadn't heard this before, is he correct? Thanks! Tag: Windows Server 2003 DNS Server question Tag: 109764

    - Windows 2003 DHCP Monitoring Previously our company had Novell DHCP services, and this provided us a live monitor of all DHCP Requests, Acknowledgements, Denies, etc. The Windows DHCP server seems to be lacking any kind of monitoring. It does have logs that I can check, but a monitoring tool would be preferred. I'm also looking for some way to search for a specific MAC Address within the system. Is there some suite of tools available for enhancing my Windows DHCP Administration beyond the minimalistic management snapin? Thanks! Tag: Windows Server 2003 DNS Server question Tag: 109746

    - Printing from a PC outside domain I have a situation where we have 3 production stations that all have their own domains and on each there is a Printer attached to one of the PC's and shared. I have 1 mobile station that has a single PC on it that is used by each of the 3 prodution stations as needed. It is a stand alone workstation not joined to any of the 3 domains but... They occasionally need to print from the mobile station which has no printer of it's own. Is it possible to print from a computer that is not part of a domain to a printer that is part of a domain? If it helps - all 3 of the production stations are clones of each other including IP schemes. The mobile station has a static IP that is within the IP schema for the production stations so TCP/IP communication already works fine. Tag: Windows Server 2003 DNS Server question Tag: 109740

    - GPO Software Deployment - DNS Alias We have recently replaced our main file server, migrating all files\software. Currently have 3 GPO's in place that were reponsible for deploying Office, Visio STD and Visio Pro. We should have used DFS, but that is water under the bridge right now. I had thought that a DNS Alias would allow the GPO's to contact the new file server, even though the server name was different...however this does not appear to be the case. I have put the entry in for disabling strict naming, and verified that the server is at least listening for the Alias as well. However the GPO's will not install. Keeps advising that the source location is not available. But when I go to the path via UNC, I can access. Is there anything I can do to resolve?? I don't want to re-create the GPO's and have a couple hundred clients re-install. Server in Question is running 2003 R2 SP2 Enterprise, 64bit edition.

    - Server Console login I have a Server 2003 server that is running Exchange 2003. Several times over the past few months it has locked the console login, so I can't get response when using CTRL+ALT+DEL. I can RDP in and all is running fine, but when I try CTRL+ALT+DEL at the console, it won't respond. When I use mstsc /console, it allows me to enter the login information, but then goes to the same blank screen as at the console itself. Since this is on a KVM, I setup USB mouse and keyboard, but CTRL+ALT+DEL still didn't work. The mouse moves around the screen fine. It is running Symantec for Exchange, Symantec (with the proper exceptions), and the Blackberry Enterprise software. If I reboot, it is fine. I've tried stopping and restarting Symantec and other services, but that doesn't seem to help. I checked the memory usage, and it looks like there is plenty free (2GB total/410MB available, 141112 Kernal/105316 paged/35796 nonpaged). The CPU usage is only 2%, and the network utilization is barely moving. I also noticed the Windows Firewall/ICS services was running, although the Firewall in Control Panel was off. I have turned this off, but it didn't help either. It seems like this person is having the same issue: http://www.computing.net/windows2003/wwwboard/forum/7285.html PLEASE HELP. This is driving me crazy (or crazier, depending on who you talk to). THANKS! Tag: Windows Server 2003 DNS Server question Tag: 109725

    - Windows 2003 R2 x64 intermittently hangs New Windows 2003 R2 x64 server, Quad core proc, 12gigs ram, dual HBA fiber attached SAN storage. 3 SAN data volumes (2 - data volumes and 1 for user folders, mapped to look like one share). Server will suddenly seem to stop responding, sort of. Very slow browsing of the mapped drive. Server is still responding, and RDP to it, and open both data drives, but cannot open the use folder volume. No errors are generated. Very little to no disk activity in perf mon. There are no errors on the server, and no errors in the SAN storage system (which is also brand new). We have a duplicated system (same server and SAN system) as we were planning for an offsite DR and DFS sharing system, we replicated the data to the other server/SAN, and the same problem occured. Anybody got any ideas????? Tag: Windows Server 2003 DNS Server question Tag: 109724

    - Server 2008 x64 And Shadow Copy Backups/DosDev Hi All We're using Server 2008 x64 Standard for running Exchange 2007 and SQL Server 2005 plus a few small COM application objects and a small amount of file serving. When it comes to backup time I have to say I was disappointed with the Server 2008 option of full drive only. Its useful to be able to do that, certainly, but its not the only kind of backup thats useful. So, I decided to go the Robocopy route - an excellent tool for anyone unfamiliar with it. All went fine until I got to the point of wanting to get the Exchange edb files backed up. Some quick reading later and the combination of VShadow and DosDev (create a shadow copy, then mount it as a drive letter) seemed perfect. I got the x64 version of VShadow.exe from the VSS SDK and DosDev from one of the reporting tools. Version number: 5.2.3790.1830 (10/05/2007). The VShadow -Script=vss.cmd D: works fine and as various sites suggest. >DosDev L: %SHADOW_DEVICE_1% Returns: Current definition: L: = \??\GLOBALROOT\Device\HarddiskVolumeShadowCopy193 If I try to change to the drive I get: >L: The device is not ready. Or if I've left it a while (in case it was a timing issue) eventually it comes out with: File not found. Anyone have any thoughts, ideas or alternatives? Thanks!

We have a DNS Server running that is getting errors in the event log
about being unable to connect to a domain controller. The thing is,
we don't have a PDC, yet the server is set to join a domain. Does a
DNS Server running Windows Server 2003 need to be a member of a
domain, or can it be just in a workgroup?

I checked the Configure Your Server log, and it was initially setup as
a Domain Controller with Active Directory, but those were later
removed along with the DNS server. The DNS server was immediately
reinstalled, of course. Based on this information, I'm pretty sure it
can be safely removed from the non-existent domain, but I would like
to wait for confirmation.

You can run DNS on a standalone server.
