Multiple batch file amendment

sajmeister — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 15:53:01 GMT

Hi guys,

I need to find a way of updating multiple batch files that are stored in the Netlogon share on the domain controllers. I only need to change one line in the batch file if it exists to a new value.

I really don't want to do this manually as there are hundreds of batch files in the Netlogon share.

Thanks

Sajmeister

Changing Roaming Profiles from Win2K to 2003

ragingmoon — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 13:17:00 GMT

I have a number of users on my network who still have their Win2K roaming profiles instead of 2003. New users get the 2003 profile because they never had a 2000 login. Is there a simple way to change the old users to a 2003 profile?

Active Directory Security ?

G-Stress — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 03:50:25 GMT

I'm running a 2k3 Domain Controller specifically for a few services to hopefully securely configure them. My setup is as follows:

Modem

Linksys RVS4000 VPN GB Router (Providing DHCP) 10.10.0.x/24

Media Server hosting Adito (OpenVPN-als) SSL VPN and other media services.

Domain Controller

The SSL VPN is what I'm most concerned about, adito runs as it's own service, what I'm wanting to do is restrict access to each client's home lan. I don't want them accessing the VPN outside of their lan. Now Adito does provide IP Restrictons which work wonderfully, but my clients are all using Dynamic IP's and are not going to switch to static.

What I'm wondering is once I join the media server to the domain, what would be the best method to restrict access? For now accessing adito they just point their web browser at my ip and access it, but I'm going to set it up so they have to VPN into the domain first, but even then they can access it from other locations or give out account info to friends.

What I'm thinking is if there is a way to add restriction based off the mac address of their router's or some other form of restriction?

Server 2003. Lost Admin Password. Recover with Power user?

musiclover — Tue, 17 Nov 2009 19:03:01 GMT

I painfully lost the admin password on this Server 2003 box, that I have not had to log into for over a year.. The account was given to me by another, and is not one I created.. I do however, have a means of logging in with a Power user account. Is there a way to extract/change the admin password on this box with the power user account..? Any help appreciated!!

W2K8: Can web site: No browsing

johnseptellion — Sat, 14 Nov 2009 20:41:03 GMT

Subject : W2K8: Can Ping web site, Cannot browse internet

I had to move two servers from a different lab. After the move, we can not access any URL.

I can ping ip address on the network as well as ping web sites. This means name resolution is working as expected. I searched for similar issue and reset the ipaddress using netsh int ip reset reset.log, ipconfig /dnsflush and other suggested steps. One thing I noticed is IPV6 enabled where as IPV4 being used for configuring the IP address.

Any suggestions to fix it?

win 2003 domain problem

Sjcloutier — Fri, 13 Nov 2009 13:07:57 GMT

My current situation is this: I have a new AD Domain in place and I am adding users and servers in phases. I have a DNS server set up on a Win 2003 DC. I have PCs that use this DNS server with no problems. These machines can access everything fine whether they are a member of the domain or not. I have a couple of servers that have websites on them that are working properly right now, I�ll use my mail server as an example. It has a webmail site running on it and all is well right now. However, as soon as I join this server to the domain, the website no longer responds.
The DNS server has the appropriate forwarding turned on, my internal domain is different from my external domain name (my external domain is mail.**.com, my internal domain is **.domain)
My firewall is functioning properly since I can access the site when the server isn�t a member of the domain.
It doesn�t matter if I attempt to use the URL or the IP and port number to access the site, I can�t access it once the server is a member of the domain.
If anyone could point me in the right direction I would appreciate it.

Error loading Pagefi1e.sys

ironhalo — Thu, 12 Nov 2009 17:03:36 GMT

Hey, we're having a problem with our server, i think? We've got a couple workstations networked to our file server via drive mapping. Lately we've had a problem, if someone double clicks a drive to access it, we get an error saying "Error loading Pagefi1e.sys". I wonder if its a virus since the 1 should be an l.

a google search for the error message yielded a lot of chinese sites, nothing really useful. im not an IT specialist, we contract out the IT to a 3rd party company that comes in periodically. so, im trying to fix this one myself..

edit:

the server is windows server 2003, the various drives we have mapped are all in raid 0,1 and 5. the problem is on all drives, regardless of raid configuration. the workstations are all windows vista x64 business.

Can you exclude an event from being logged?

srhoades — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 18:03:04 GMT

We have some server monitoring software that reports back event errors and such. The problem is with our terminal server. Every time a user logs in with a printer that the terminal server doesn't have drivers for it generates an event error 1111. Is it possible to exclude that event from being generated?

Solved: Ignorant Newbie Questions for Windows Home Server

mzpro5 — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 14:53:27 GMT

I am looking into getting the Windows Home Server program but have a few basic questions

I don't fully understand the software setup. Can I install it on a computer that is running XP or is it a totally separate OS?

Maybe if I explain the situation - I work for a small non-profit organization and we only have one computer currently running XP Pro. I am thinking I can install Windows Home server on this computer and allow the organization's Board members remote access to files via this program. Or do I need a dedicated computer running WHS to do this?

Our budget is very small so if I can just buy a copy of WHS and install it on the current computer that would be great.

Thanks for any answers

Server 2003: Controlling Clients

ronr — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 00:30:43 GMT

I have a small domain in a K-8 school with 85+/- clients. It is becoming necessary to control what the students can do on their workstation...especially their ability to set/change wallpaper etc. This ability was removed a few weeks ago by a now departed person, but I need to activate it so that I can remove some unacceptable backgrounds that went unnoticed for awhile. Where do I find the controls for such an endeavor?

Is there a way to write a simple Batch file that would allow me to delete all files in a folder with a size of 0KB.

I have an application that churns out csv files every two minutes, but quite a few are empty, and I want to get rid of them automatically before archiving the rest.

Poweredge 2500

G-Stress — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 05:55:13 GMT

Finally I have a real server to toy with. I just got a poweredge 2500, with no experience with scsi I'm at a hault as to how I'm going to install win2k3 on this. I've heard I need a scsi cd/dvd drive, or that I could get a bootable pci sata card and run a sata cd/dvd drive also.

I just want to confirm this and get this up and running.

Adding a Windows 2003 server to a 2000 domain

stooj — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 02:26:47 GMT

Wondering if anyone can point me in the right direction here:

We have two Windows 2000 servers running as AD servers. After picking up a few 2003 licenses I'm trying to add a 2003 server to the mix (with the intention of retiring the old ones in the future).

I've run adprep /forestprep on the schema master and adprep /domainprep on the domain master. Both finished without errors and when I try to run them again, they report that the prep has already been completed.
However, when I try to run the AD wizard on the 2003 machine, I get an error saying that the "forest is unprepared for installing 2003. Use the adprep command to prepare both the forest and the domain. The version of Active Directory schema of the source forest is not compatible with the version of Active Directory on this computer."

Any suggestions about what to try next? All the machines are running 32 bit OSes (there was some 32/64 mix incompatibility reported on technet).
Both Server 2000 machines are running SP4

Cheers all

Internet Connection Problem.

Xepera — Sun, 08 Nov 2009 19:00:15 GMT

Could you sort this problem out for me, because I just don't have the know how to do it myself.

I have a internet connection problem that occured suddenly 4 days ago.

Every 2 minutes my internet connection goes onto "Access: Local Only". I can't view any pages. I thought it might be my signal strength which is not very good in my area. Sometimes it roams onto another network.

But recently I've been getting this "local area" problem.

I'm currently using a mobile broadband service (i.e. dongle) with Network 3 and they've told me that there is nothing that they can do about this problem. I have been with them for a year with no problems at all except for bad signal.

Also my "Local Area Connection" has a little red x beside it and the status is "unplugged".

I have diagnosed the problem using windows: "Cannot connect with DNS server".

Having looked at the properties and so forth everything seems to be in order. I have tried that "cmd" Netsh Winsoc command but that makes no difference. I have even tried System Restore and still the problem persists.

Any advice?

Network DDE, Network DDE DSDM, Clipbook

jaya_aarthi — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 21:47:01 GMT

1. Should Network DDE, Netwok DDE DSDM and Clipbook be disabled in remote server?
2. What will happen if they are set to "Manual" in remote server?
3. Is there a possibiltiy that hackers could hack the server and do a redirect to IP address 64.202.189.170?
4. If page redirects to 64.202.189.170, does it mean that the page has been hacked?
Waiting for answers. Thank you.

Browser Errors

jdarcas — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 17:16:18 GMT

I am having a problem with a File Server running Server 2003 R2 SP2. About every five days I keep getting browser errors (event ids 8021 and 8032). The error states it is unable to retrieve a list of servers from the browser master which is my domain controller.

When this error occurs, I cannot log into the domain and it sometimes has issues loading local profiles. Also I cannot ping or run ipconfig, the OS returns an error that the application failed to initialize. I try to restart the netlogon server and it doesn't start up (internal windows error).

Both of my DCs are running DNS and WINS. I am not running multiple network cards (one is disabled). I do have a usb device that is hooked up via ethernet to a VM.

If I reboot this server, all is well for about five days, then I get these browser errors again.

I have tried MS recommendations here:

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/135404

but no luck.

Any thoughts/ideas would be appreciated.

Thank you

Exchange 2003 Smarthost NDR Loop

HightowerFL — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 12:07:07 GMT

My client uses an 2003 exchange server with a smarthost. It has worked flawlessly for years until the 1st of the month. They noticed that their connection speed to the internet had dramatically decreased. It was so slow that I could not remote into the server. My connection would time out.

I went onsite and saw that the SMTP service was using huge amounts of memory and the Messages Qued for deferred delivery had thousands of messages waiting to be sent. I also went into the mailroot folder and found over 20,000 messages sitting in the Que folder.

After checking the message headers in all of the Qued messages I came to the conclusion that a spammer forged the sender and return path information that matched that of my clients domain. The email addresses the spammer forged don't exist on my clients domain and they are not on the smarthost's either.

This has created an NDR loop between the exchange server and the Smarthost's mail server (unix based). Essentially someone sent out a bunch of spam probably as a BCC and addressed the To field to Custservice@company.com and made the return path agrieg@company.com . Then each spam message comes into the smarthost's server looking for custservice@company.com. The smarthost doesn't recognize the mailbox name and forwards it to the exchange server. The exchange server doesn't recognize the name and tries to send an NDR to the sender (who's name is forged and points right back to the same domain) Then the smarthost tries to send the NDR back to the exchange server. Take that and times it by however spams the spammer sent and it's a good way to mess up an exchange server.

Here is an example of the header info:

In exchanges system manager I used sender filtering to block Mailer-Daemon@smarthost.com and my clients server started behaving again. they were able to send and receive no problem. But about a day after I did that the smarthost called saying that their exchange server had a problem and was slowing down their unix mail server.

Also note that the Smarthost has mailboxes on their system for all the users in the domain
that the uses can access through the web.

So what do you think is my best option?

Disable Non-delivery reports in global settings or should I create a mailbox for the non-existing user and take in all the messages to end the loop.

Power Shell question

mcseguy9 — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 20:32:43 GMT

Hello everyone. I'm guessing there might be a way to do what I'm looking for using Power Shell. We're running Windows Server 2003 and Exchange 2007 (one domain). We have a mail-enabled universal security group called Managers. A few days ago someone noticed that about 6 intern's accounts had found their way into that group. Is there some sort of Power Shell command I could run to find out when those accounts made their way into that security group?

Easier way to search multiple DHCP servers for a specific scope?

StumpedTechy — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 13:47:08 GMT

I have 41 DHCP servers all across the globe.

In order to find out the server I want to work on I have to get a machine name (which in itself is a task due to the different naming conventions each site uses) and then pray that it is on (we cannot remote wakeup or do full subnet scans due to network security), remotely run an IPCONFIG on the machine (and hope and pray I don't get any permissions errors) and then I have to trace back to the DHCP server that is serving to get to the scope.

Is there any utility/query that I can add the list of DHCP servers and type in the first 3 octets of a scope and it will tell me directly which DHCP server I need to work on? This would eliminate alot of my bottleneck

Password Migration Problem

karl_009 — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 10:15:31 GMT

Hi,

Am having a few issues with migrating passwords from are old domain to are new one.

I have already migrated users and groups but passwords are giving me some trouble.

I have set everything up as it needs to be as I had a test run and it all went fine during that.

Here are the errors am getting;

From the source domain am getting this, seems like its almost there this time;

"Did not try to copy the password for CN=Karl, since the source password has not been changed since the last migration of this user."

Am using ADMT v3, its Windows Server 2003 to 2003.

Any ideas, Thanks

Restrict folder access using SBS

ScouserTommy — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 08:07:37 GMT

I have SBS 2003 setup with a mirrored hard drive (E) on the server. For some reason none of the clients can access the E drive without using the Administrator username and password setup for the server itself. Obviously this is not desirable. I looked into setting up a security policy to do restrict/allow access to relevant files and folders but have not been able to do this successfully. I've also looked at trying to do it through Sharing without any joy. I've googled this and from what I can gather group policies are the way to go but I'm not sure where I'm going wrong. Can anyone help?

Controlling server 2003/2008 completley with Command Prompt

mikejreading — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 16:16:57 GMT

Hi Guys,

Im trying to create a program that will allow partial control of a server from a PDA..

Ive got in mind at the min.. sending command lines (from the PDA) (from programmed keypress sequences i.e. Click USERS then ADD then get text boxes up to add all the info and then send all that via command line to the server for it to be executed).

I know that its a very vague idea at the moment.. just wondered if you think its possible?

Static IP Resets after Reboot (W2K8 R2 x64 Std)

apr911 — Thu, 29 Oct 2009 04:08:37 GMT

Hey all

Having a strange issue here...

I set a static IP address for one of my network adapters and mistyped my subnet mask.... I went in to the adapter settings and fixed it to the correct subnet and my network started working correctly...

The problem I am having is every time I reboot, the subnet mask resets to the incorrect one making my network drives inaccessible and requiring to manually go a change the subnet mask again...

It just does not seem to want to remember the updated settings....

Any thoughts? Im running Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard x64

Thanks

server 2003 and vmware virtualization

crutchdrewfield — Wed, 28 Oct 2009 14:39:51 GMT

I'm looking to start watching some CBTs, playing around with windows server, and pick up some MS certs. Ideally I would like to set something up at home to mess around with but as of right now I don't have any extra equipment just laying around.

What I would like to do is either build or buy a cheap home server setup and then use VMware ESXi(or server or whatever) to throw a couple virtual machines of server 2003 on that(a DC, file server, some other stuff to play with). Would this work? And since they'd be virtual machines would they still all have their own IP? Would I be able to RDP into them and use them just like they were stand-alone servers? It would just be a lot cheaper/easier this way than having 2-3 seperate machines.

Windows SBS Server 2003 R2

ragingmoon — Wed, 28 Oct 2009 14:15:01 GMT

Was thinking about purchasing this to work alngside my current ISA Server to give me more functionality in Internet Browsing restrictions. I have about 140 devices on the network. From what I read on the SBS FAQ page the CAL'S seem wildly expensive and it also looks like I need to move DHCP from its current Active Directory location?

Can anyone shed any light?

Users unable to authenticate SBS 2003

Jbumpus — Tue, 27 Oct 2009 21:18:37 GMT

Hello here is a hard one and any suggestions are welcome. I have a client running SBS 2003 the server has all the latest patches installed. Every now and again users are unable to authenticate to the domain at all. When you try to go to RWW or OWA the page does not come up reporting service unavailable, users are unable to log into their workstations being told they have the wrong username and password, administrator account cannot log into the server when sitting at the machine. The only way to resolve the problem is to hard boot the machine then everything goes back to normal. When I am able to log in the system all the events in the system log prior to the hard boot are gone. The only thing I can see is that once the event has happened the application log throws about 1000 ExchangeAL Errors with event id 8026 every second. Because of this we are only able to tell that the event has happened but are unable to find a cause. Thanks

DNS Issue

SupaMonkey — Tue, 27 Oct 2009 13:07:01 GMT

Hi Guys,
I have a problem that keeps popping up:
Dynamic registration or deletion of one or more DNS records associated with DNS domain 'DomainDnsZones.promedis.pvt.' failed. These records are used by other computers to locate this server as a domain controller (if the specified domain is an Active Directory domain) or as an LDAP server (if the specified domain is an application partition).

Possible causes of failure include:
- TCP/IP properties of the network connections of this computer contain wrong IP address(es) of the preferred and alternate DNS servers
- Specified preferred and alternate DNS servers are not running
- DNS server(s) primary for the records to be registered is not running
- Preferred or alternate DNS servers are configured with wrong root hints
- Parent DNS zone contains incorrect delegation to the child zone authoritative for the DNS records that failed registration

My setup:
Windows Server 2008
Server IP: 192.168.0.100
Gateway: 192.168.0.1
P-DNS: 192.168.0.1

promedis.pvt is a "ficticious" domain in the sense that its not a real TLD that is registered, but rather just a domain for in office use.

According to the points above I should check my TCP/IP and DNS settings, but surely that is all correct? The primary dns / gateway are both set to my ADSL router which gets its Primary/Secondary DNS servers directly from the ISP.

What to do?

Thanks in advance!

Kind Regards,
Michael

Solved: Exhcnge 2003 AD: Dispaly Name and Alias not the same

alexenjen — Mon, 26 Oct 2009 20:42:08 GMT

I recently renamed a user accoun in the AD:
PTO renamed to PTO2

Before the rename, PTO had a display name of PTO and the alias was PTO
Example: PTO as it appears in the "To" section

Now it appears as: PTO The 2 profiles got crossed and I've already corrected the alias and display name in the AD. What am I missing?

It's the same problem with PTO2 - PTO2's alias is showing up as PTO

Here's what I've done so far to try and fix it:

1. Checked the display name - all correct
2. Checked the alias name - it was incorrect but, it's still resolving to the wrong name
3. Rebuild OAB
4. Update OAB on the client

Server 2000 to Server 2008

ComfortGroup_IT — Mon, 26 Oct 2009 13:34:18 GMT

We recently purchased a new server to take the place of our rather old DC. I've found information on migrating Active Directory from a 2000 server to another 2000 server, a 2000 server to a 2003 server, a 2003 server to a 2003 server, and even 2003 to 2008, but none for the leap from 2000 to 2008. Is it relitively straight forward? How similar to converting from 2000 to 2003?
