Fixed it. Apparently its an issue of tightened security with Srv 2K3 SP1 you need to give read access to Network Service group to the WUSyncSvc.exe file and to the following directory C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\autoupdate\administration\shared found the solution here...

hope this is in the right forum... just migrated SUS from an old 2000 server to a new 2003 server went through the whole procedure (installed IIS 6.0 etc), everything seems fine, admin site can be accessed, synch works, etc however the event log is recording the following errors many times at...

Network has a Server 2003 PDC moonlighting as a file server. All XP clients. Everything is relatively smooth, occasionally browsing network shares is slow, a guaranteed fix is to powerdown and remove/reinsert the network cable and powerback up. So I suspect this issue is hardware related (the...

Well this is a new one for me...maybe you guys have seen it before but its a real pain I was tweaking some local security settings to beef up certain things. Users were also frequently and annoyingly sharing every cd-rom in sight so as to not have to carry CDs around so i enabled the local...

Another thing to consider for "special" backup situations is a DVD burner. The new "double density" burners are just coming on the market now and pricing for under 200$ (in canada) for intenal IDE, I still don't know what the media cost for the 8.5 GB disks is but based on ram media costs (25$...

FYI...these links should answer all of your questions and more setting authorative time server http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;216734 W32time registry entries http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=223184 basic operation of the time service...

excellent post KMC however by the sound of your needs wfb something like what i have setup will work well enough.. we have 32 tapes in the rotation...at the start of the month 1 tape is taken to a safety deposite site off site so we end up with monthly backups at the end of each year.. the...

that one is good... check this one out as well (its what I use and it works amicably enough while providing some decent HW info as well) http://www.emco.is/ its called networking inventory

providing your PDC was set up right by default it should have been set to act as the time server. If not take a trip to microsoft website and do a search for time services and net time, you will find it fast

word to the wise (after having done something similar myself) always apply GPO settings to the lowest possible container in the heirachy... for my PDC, laptops, workstations....each has its own container and group policy for settings like auto updates... at any rate if you are looking into...

actually my boss wants me to have complete control over the server minus access to one very specific directory... i do all of the GPO settings, backups, user accounts, managing SUS and other patching...etc etc however i'm not always availlable so i want to delegate the user account to another...

If you just want to prevent access to specific apps and whanot the easiest way to do that would be with simple file perms... in your example only grant user access (read and execute in your case) to that particular .EXE or the folder it resides in to users that you want to be able to run it.

ah...thanks alot... in delegation would one of the options just happen to be preventing resetting PWs of admin accounts, adding users to the admin group or creating accounts that have admin privs?

while i'm at it..printing out ownership would be nice as well

I'm sure this has been posted or requested frenquently but I wasnt able to find it in any of the thread titles... what i want to do is to specify a location and have a sript print out or display all of the assigned permissions for objects in this location. I would also like to be able to...
