    - File Server Migration We want to migrate our old file server to a new server running 2003 R2. The main objective is to keep all mapped drives/printers and UNC paths the same as the old path from the client perspective. All the current mappings have been made manually not via a login script. I tested the File Server Migration Toolkit in a lab. While the data and permissions migrated flawlessly, sometimes the mapped drives did not resolve on the client side. Do we have to use DFS to accomplish the above objectives? Has anyone else had a similar scenario? Too eventually I will have another server to perform the same task on. Any thoughts would be appreciated. Tag: updating windows server 2003 Tag: 112577

    - Server 2008 Ent Remote Desktop The computer is a new Dell Server and a fresh install of Server 2008 Enterprise. I have Remote Desktop enabled on the server utilized by the wizard. Windows Firewall is on as is the public and private firewall. This is an edge server so it has one public IP and a private IP. I get the same results coming from both private and public IP. I will use remote desktop to try to connect to the server, and the page will come up telling me incorrect username or password. I know the password and username are correct, but no matter what I type in I continuously get this error while trying to remote into the machine. I have created a new account with remote priveledges and tried that as well and it does not work either. However, when I use either to log in locally, they work fine. This is a fresh install with only the AD, DNS, and a few other services configured but no software other than Server 2008 components. Tag: updating windows server 2003 Tag: 112555

I was getting different issues and calls from diffrent endusers. What steps should I take first if I am getting calls about multiple services from multiple clients that are all running off the same server? Would it be best to check the server and logs or start from each enduser. I am trying to make a list for my trainee on what steps should be taken in what order if this kind of problem comes up.

    - Password protected folders (after domain logon), with RUNAS comman Hello. I've been working on a way to password protect folders, even after the domain logon, with the RUNAS command. What I've done so far: - Created a new user called "permission_folder1" - Created a new folder called "folder1", removed all permissions from it, and added the new user in the permission list. - Created a shortcut, and added the runas command: runas /user:domain\permission_folder1 "explorer.exe \\server1\sharename\folder1" When I try to open the shortcut, it will ask for password (for the permission_folder1 user). If I type wrong password nothing happends, if I type the right password it gives me a weird error, which I could find nothing about on google: RUNAS ERROR: Unable to run - explorer.exe \\server1\sharename\folder1 1385: Logon failure: the user has not been granted the requested logon type at this computer What does this mean? What can I do to fix it, if it's even possible? It all takes place in a Windows enviroment, with a Windows 2003 Small Business Server as DC, Windows Server 2003 as terminal server and Windows XP as clients. The shortcut doesn't work on the terminal server, nor the Windows XP clients. The secondary logon service is running. Might be worth mentioning that I can use: runas /user:domain\permission_folder1 calc Note: All names like server1, sharename, folder1, permission_folder1 etc. are dummynames.

    - Intermittent Network Pauses Hi There, We have a HP Class-C Chassis with 4 Blade servers, all running windows server 2003. Two of these servers are clustered in Active Passive mode. This cluster is connected to HP EVA3000 SAN array and the network interface of the cluster connects to Cisco 3750 stack. For the past number of months we have been having issues where the clients, running windows XP lose their network drives and after a pause of approx 10-15 seconds reconnect and in many cases a reboot of the workstation is required. We have performed a number of test to isolate the root casue of the issue. The network was fully checked and ruled out as the casue. Packet capture did not reveal anything unusual, except traffic stopping from the cluster during the pause. We perfomed a number of tests on the cluster nodes and one of the tests was a copy test. We ran perfmon and started copying files between local drives and SAN drives. Test1 :copy a Gigabyte file from Local C: to D: Test2: copy the same file from local C: to SAN Test3: Copy the same file from SAN to local C: During all of the above tests we observed, on perfmon, the CPU utilsation dropping to zero and the the network Interface utilisation dropping to zero at exactly the same time. While the CPU utilisation recovered almost immedailty, the network utilisation stayed at 0% for the duration of the copy. These tests caused exactly the same outages that our users experience. While this was happening I could still ping the server at all time. The servers are running Windows 2003 Server SP2. RSS is disabled on the Nics. TOE is disabled. Teaming is disabled as well. Has anyone seen or had this or similar issues. Please help. Thank you Tag: updating windows server 2003 Tag: 112518

    - NAT Router restricted by RADIUS I'm trying to setup a NAT router that uses RADIUS authentication to determine which packets should be passed from the internal network out to the internet. I have tried to do this with RRAS without luck, I get the feeling the NAT implementation there doesn't any form of authentication. I've also tried using ISA but that requires a special piece of software to be installed on each client. I'm trying to just use the currently-logged-in user's credientials as the authentication token sent to my RADIUS server. Does anyone know of a way to accomplish this?

    - Offline File Weirdness I've got a user having problems with offline files. His user profile is setup on one of our Windows 2003 SBS boxes, and his laptop is setup to use it offline when he's away from the office. Two files don't seem to get carried over correctly we he sync's at the end of the day, Outlook.NK2 and rasphone.pbk. There will be no errors in the sync, and the offline files folder will show these two files being present. Sure enough though, when he gets home the shortcut to his vpn connection does nothing and Outlook has no autocomplete. Outlook will then create a new autocomplete, which will inturn over write the one stored on the server when he comes back to the office the next day. Also, the rasphone.pbk just disappears and he vpn connection must be recreated. Very frustrating. Any ideas guys and gals? Anthony R. Vallario Tag: updating windows server 2003 Tag: 112503

    - VSS snaps filling my drive Hi, Just got a warning from my monitoring software that my 400GB database drive with around 100GB of Exchange information store is 75% full. I've seen this before, so went looking at the System Volume Information folder (after changing permissions to allow me access to it) to discover that it had accumulated 200GB worth of snapshots over the past 2 months. Every day when Veritas BE 9.1 (yes, we're upgrading this year) kicks in, I get the following message in my app log: Event Type: Information Event Source: MSExchangeIS Event Category: Exchange VSS Writer Event ID: 9604 Date: 5/1/2008 Time: 4:30:37 PM User: N/A Computer: PAGE Description: Exchange VSS Snapshot metadata document has been collected. This is immediately followed by the Event ID 210 indicating that a full backup of the Exchange DB has started. Backups appear to be ok. Each of the files in the Sysvol folder is created at the exact time the backup starts. The only article I see on the Symantec/Veritas site talks about seeing these files pile up if a Shadow Copy Component backup is cancelled (http://seer.support.veritas.com/docs/269989.htm). Mine do not appear to be cancelled, as the VSS components are being successfully backed up according to the backup log. Anyway, the Veritas solution in the article is to stop the Volume Shadow Copy Service on the server. Questions: 1. If I disable the volume shadow copy service, what am I losing? 2. Can I safely disable the old files in the System Volume Information folder? 3. Any other recommendations?

    - 1 backup Device or multiple Hey all, I need some *polite* argument points please :) I work at a consulting company who manages networks for their clients. I'm reletively new here but something strikes me as unusual: In many cases, where there are multiple servers, they also use multiple backup devices. For example: FS1 has a backup device AS1 has a backup device TS1 has a backup device The argument they give is that it is more than a single point of failure and if one backup failes or they forget to put in a tape, then chances are that the other ones will pass. Basically they are not relying on 1 tape drive to do it all (lets say use a 400/800 instead of 3 x 200/400 lto drives). To me this does not make sense from a financial point of view and a managment point of view. I want to bring this to the table but need solid arguments....any ideas?

    - Windows XP Registry Repair The Windows registry on your PC is a set of files which store all the essential settings for hardware, the operating system, the control panel, application software, user preferences and user profiles, and file associations (which programs run which types of files). How is Windows XP registry repair done, and why does the Windows registry ever need to be repaired anyway? At the bottom of this article, there is a link to a resource page which gives access to software tools you can use to repair the registry. Repairing or cleaning the registry can also be done manually, using the program regedit.exe (Registry Editor), which comes with Windows XP, or with reg.exe from the command line. Manual editing is not recommended though, even if you do a backup, because the registry files are absolutely essential for the Windows operating system to run, and it is all too easy to damage them by careless editing. Microsoft Support itself says this - 'Although you can use Registry Editor to inspect and modify the registry, doing so is not recommended, as making incorrect changes can damage your system.'...

    - Windows 2003 R2 (primary corporate AD/DC/GC/KCC/DNS/NIS server) taking Our primary Windows 2003 R2 Server takes an extremely long time to . The server will first hang quite a while at the "preparing network connections" prompt, and then again at the "applying computer settings" prompt. It will eventually bring up the login prompt and allow me to log in, but once in, I can see a number of alerts in both the Application and System Event Logs, and additionally I have to manually start the Server for NIS service. One of the first errors I see in the Event Log is this: Event Type: Warning Event Source: LSASRV Event Category: SPNEGO (Negotiator) Event ID: 40960 Date: 5/3/2008 Time: 4:22:11 PM User: N/A Computer: SERVER1 Description: The Security System detected an authentication error for the server LDAP/SERVER1. The failure code from authentication protocol Kerberos was "There are currently no logon servers available to service the logon request. (0xc000005e)". And also this error: Event Type: Warning Event Source: NtFrs Event Category: None Event ID: 13512 Date: 5/3/2008 Time: 4:31:39 PM User: N/A Computer: SERVER1 Description: The File Replication Service has detected an enabled disk write cache on the drive containing the directory c:\windows\ntfrs\jet on the computer SERVER1. The File Replication Service might not recover when power to the drive is interrupted and critical updates are lost. This server also holds all the FSMO roles for my AD 2003 domain. We have a second redundant DC in our domain which provides nearly all the same services as the primary DC, but it doesn't take nearly as long to boot from a cold start as the primary does. Both servers have exactly the same hardware profile, so I'm trying to determine what is causing such a delay in keeping our main DC from completely booting from a cold start. Any ideas? Both servers configured with mirrored boot drives. Should I be disable the disk write cache function on the RAID controller? Tag: updating windows server 2003 Tag: 112451

    - ISA Svr and Terminal Server I am looking for some best practices advice please. We currently have to replace our ISA Svr box with new hardware. At the moment this box only does this plus WSUS and virus management. Basically nothing. However the organisation is about to install a TS server to service about 60+ remote users. Originally we were going to place a second box behind the ISA server to do this but wondered if the TS workload could go on the ISA box to save on hardware? So the question is: would it be ok to combine TS and ISA on the same box or should we stick to the original plan of TS behind ISA? What do other people do here?

    - Strange performance on Windows 2003 EE SP2 Hi all, I met a strange performance issue on Windows 2003 Enterprise X64 Edition with SP2 / Intel Xeon 3G(4chips * 4cores/chip) . On the server, there is a j2ee containner with some applications. A simple jsp code to query/insert/update some tables after the client clicked the submit. The clients complained that this update is slowly. I did a test on both the server and another pc. The result is very strange: From the server, the code executed costing 400ms, while 5+ seconds from PCs! The execute time is output in the jsp code, such like: System.out.println( new Date().getTime() ); ..... do updates ... System.out.println( new Date().getTime() ); I had done the test on a Windows 2003 EE 32Bit with SP2, the same result. The SNP is disiabled on both boxes. Any ideas?

    - Trying to Test Windows Server 2008 Terminal Services I'm trying to test the use of Terminal Services on Windows Server 2008 Standard but I can't quite get it to work. I've installed the Terminal Services Role and published my Remote Applications using Office 2007 applications for the test. When I try to access the programs using http://myserver.com/ts using Vista SP 1, I can see the programs on the web page and even open them (e.g. Excel) but I immediately get an error message saying " this feature is not supported", and I can go no further. I should mention that my Vista SP1 is a virtual machine on the same Windows 2008 server, running under hyper-v. I'm too new to virtual machines to know if that's causing my problem. I should also mention I tried to connect to Terminal Services using XP Pro SP2, but had no luck because apparently I don't have the right version of RDC. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

We are working on a server which is a domain controller. (SBS 2003) I am using Acronis True Image for Windows Server and I have a good backup of my Drives... The original Drive Arrays (they were too small so we had to upgrade to larger drives) have all been removed to make room for the new, larger hard disk arrays and the HP SmartController has been reconfigured to support the new RAID 5 configuration with 3 hard drives. So I cannot go back to the original setup. Acronis Tech support said I can restore the data partition by partition, (one at a time) so I can resize the partition on the new drive which is what we want to do. That process is running now and it will take 12 hours to complete. But they also said that I should not write the MBR using their software. They said I should boot to the recovery console and run some commands. They said: "Please boot up from the Windows Bootable CD, then go to the Recovery Console (the first Repair option you come to). From the command prompt please type: FIXMBR C: FIXBOOT C: COPY CDDrive:\I386\NTLDR C:\ COPY CDDrive:\I386\NTDETECT.COM C:\ BOOTCFG /rebuild ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The problem is that when you do this, Windows installation will ask you for the administrators password before you every have a chance to enter the commands. The administrators name was changed for security reasons so the actual login name "Administrator" does not exist. Will I still be able to get into the Recovery Console? If not, what should I do now? Any help would be appreciated. Bikini Browser San Juan Puerto Rico Tag: updating windows server 2003 Tag: 112417

    - No Help and Support Center Ok. I know I'm in the wrong area, but it seems that "Microsoft Support" of any kind has become rather amoebic and spread out over God Knows where, and I've spent the last three hours just trying to find the right area to ask We're running Win 2K3 R2. I've got two identical servers (IBM x3650) running the 64 bit OS. On one of them, the "Help and Support Center" no longer runs, from ANY application, nor via "F1", nor from the Start menu. I've checked the "Data Execution Prevention" settings (which, by the way, won't let me change the 64Bit executables) and I've checked the registry for application file locations. I'm at a complete loss as to what happened. What am I missing??????? Thanks. -Al Tag: updating windows server 2003 Tag: 112401

    - System Process in Task Manager is running at 67+ % with Page Fault System Process in Task Manager is running at 67+ % with Page Faults that go up to 500,000,000 . . . then the system automatically restarts. I am only running Backup Exex 11d server. How can I determine why the system process is faulting? Tag: updating windows server 2003 Tag: 112400

    - different option for setting TS permission? 1. using ADUC on a server (domain controller or standalone server), go to user object properties, under Terminal Service Profile, there is a option as "Deny this user permissions to log on to any Terminal Server". The ADUC version is 5.2.3790.1830 2. using ADUC on a XP (installed as admin package for XP) the option change to "allow logon to terminal server". The version of ADUC is 5.2.3790.0. Why they are different? Is there a way to make it the same, especially on XP? a new adminpak? I know the dial-in Tab on xp has to be enabled through some special process. But just realized the difference with the TS option. Any idea why it's like that (other than it's from adminpak) and possible fixt? Thanks. Tag: updating windows server 2003 Tag: 112390
