Hi, It is possible that the winsock is corrupt. Have you sued any malware removal tools on the XP Home server or clients recently? Anyway assuming the XP Home server is SP2 try this command: netsh winsock reset If it isn't SP2 try installing it. You might also like to try disabling your...

Thanks for the link some useful stuff in there. After wading though shed l.oads of information I came accross the following whic answers the question and would like to share it with everyone else. "A terminal server running Windows Server 2008 can only communicate with a license server running...

Hello, I am installing a Windows 2008 Terminal Server into our infrastructure where we already have a Windows 2003 Terminal Services Licensing Server. Will the 2008 Terminal Server use the 2003 licensing server and exising licenses or do I need to install a new 2008 Licensing Server and...

Backup the entire volumes that contain the following: operating system, Ntds.dit, and SYSVOL.

Hi Balin, Aside from the driver issues you mention are you sure your freezing, crashing issues are not software related. If the problem lies within the OS then you will just move the problem elsewhere. Building a new server and testing the migration of ACCpac would be much better solution. Steve

No you dont have to back them up. Worst case is no indexing but it isnt needed for OWA.

By default, the Catalog.wci directory is created on your Web server during the installation of Microsoft Index Server. You can usually find the catalog directory under the InetPub directory on the drive where you installed IIS. The function of the Index Server is to provide a method for clients...

The OWA is it direct to the front-end server or published through ISA? There are timeouts in ISA when publishig OWA. Steve

Hi, DEFAULT SMTP VIRTUAL SERVER ACCESS TAB CONNECTION PROPERTIES > should be set to all except the list below. This would normally be an empty list. DEFAULT SMTP VIRTUAL SERVER ACCESS TAB RELAY > should be set to only the list below. In here you would add the internal IP Addresses of hosts or...

Hi, Sorry I've lost track of this one. What is the current state of the Exchange server now? Can the users access their mailbox or is Exchnage not running? The error generated using EXBPA regarding the domain controller could you post that here? Are there any related event IDs in the app logs...

On the DC you wish it to connect to can you check that it is resolving the exchnage server correctly i.e. its not talking to it on a DHCP address or any other address. Can you browse between the DC and Exchange server i.e. \\servername\c$ or by \\server_ip_address\c$ You may be best as you say...

Hi, If your server is logging onto the wrong DC i.e. one in a different site then you should check the following before ripping out any NICs. Make sure your primary DNS is pointing to the correct server. Make sure your Primary DNS suffux is correct. Check the IP-Subnet configuration of your...

Hi, Firstly is the servers disk and RAID sets ok? i.e. no red lights on disks at front. If so your data is probably still intact on the drives. I expect one of these fixes has caused a problem with the drivers used by windows or altered the boot files. If you have a bootable CD with the SCSI...

Hi, Check in ESM the location of the log files for that database (public - pub.edb) and the priv.edb databases. Check the ntbackup and restore the log files assuming they exist. Otherwise you could try eseutil /p on the datbase that won't mount.

Hi Paul, You should try perfoming a normal Disaster Recovery of the server i.e. Build server with same name, join to domain (NB you can reset the account in the domain in ADUC rather than delete it). Install exchange using the /disaster recovery switch and then the service pack with the...
