    MCSC Backup to single tape device

    Hi All, I have W2K Advaced Server 2-node cluster (HP hardware LC2000R with HP RackStore 12 shared RAID) running an app and a single small SQLServer 2000 Enterprise instance. I'm trying to think of any way to back the system up using a single external DAT device, and am failing. Using built in...

    Can't access to Terminal service..

    If you are able to go to the W2K Term Serv local console & log in, you can check if it is telling the truth by looking in the Terminal Services Manger under Administrative Tools. There may be sessions that people have not logged out of properly which can be killed. Ian "IF" is not a...

    RAS/Terminal Services to W2K

    Max connection speed just 16.8kbps as it is. Terminal Services can just about get away with 9600 baud but you can't really do anything useful (unless you like drinking coffee/reading a book/painting a watercolour in between mouse clicks) Connection speed on this "new" modem is...

    RAS/Terminal Services to W2K

    Hi All, I'm having trouble getting a reliable dial_up connection to one of my remote sites. I am getting a modem connection, no problem. The account is authenticated & my PC registered on the remote network. I can then get a Terminal Services Client going, logged in & working (albeit slowly)...

    Dial-up Connection keeps launching

    This often happens if you are using a "free" ISP installation disk. The installation of the specific ISP's version of whatever browser will also place the connection between the browser & a specific dial_up connection. There should be a "Automatically connect to the...

    Server Recommendations?

    I quite like the 2U HP options. Coupled with the 1,2 or 4M RAID controllers and an external disk enclosure like the SC10, you get expandability at relatively low cost. We also run the LH3000 pedestal series, but I find these clunky and over engineered for the amount of disk space that they offer...

    Backup registry

    command tool > ntbackup > Create ERD (for ultimate security) The Emergency Repair Disk (ERD) is the nicest way to repair a registry after destructive changes. Ian "IF" is not a word it's a way of life

    Active Directory hates me!

    You don't really need another PC (or network) to attach to, but you will have to have a network card installed even if you aren't connecting to another PC. There must be a way of fiddling the loopback address without one, but at £10 for a NIC, why bother ? If you go through the Active Dir...

    Terminal Service RDP-TCP#?????

    I've never seen it reduce without a re-boot of the server. I've never had it cause any problem either. I don't know for sure, but I'd guess that it is a total count of all TS sessions through the booted time of the TS Server. It looks about right in all four of my cases. Ian "IF" is...

    Recommended reading for MSCS ?

    Hi All, Looking forward a couple of months, I will be installing & supporting a W2K Adv Server/SQL Server 2000 Ent ed platform. Does anyone have any recomendations on good web resources for these ? I have found some on SQL Server clustering, but can't find much at all on MSCS. I am especially...

    SAMBA and W2K Server

    You can do it in NT4, but you have to loosen security by setting password transfer to plain text (can't remember the exact registry hack, something like EnablePlainTextPassword) Don't know if this hack is still valid in 2000 Ian "IF" is not a word it's a way of life

    temporary internet files

    Implement a proxy server that the students don't have access to and secure the log files on that. The proxy server can be set up with bias to limit access or log access. It depends whether you want to prevent or to prosecute, on how you set it up. In order to pin down who did what, when, users...

    X Server display from console vs. other location

    You should be able to access via Exceed using the XCDMP broadcast mode. This shouldn't need any changes to your login shell or environment. Ian "IF" is not a word it's a way of life

    Security Policies - Wasn't me !

    W2K will always apply security policy at boot time. It always has since you installed it and it will always continue to apply the security policy. It is not something that you should disable. It is fairly fundamental to the OS. If there is only one user/admin and it is a non-domain PC, the...
