    Auxiliary copy problems!!!!

    Misio, You pretty much have two choices in your current state: 1) Give up whatever is on disk, redo your configs, and take full backups right away 2) Reconfigure the media pool and import/move tapes from the default scratch pool to the media pool you want to use so that the AUX copy will...

    Continuous Data Replication

    I have configured CDR in SQL, Exchange, replicated magnetic libraries, and straight file-system replications along with recovery points. None of them are to terribly difficult, but there are lots of little nuances that make it go more smoothly. ArmChair is right - installation will require...

    CommVault backups die EVERY day

    Cjarman - saw you had cross posted this from www.commvaultusers.com as well - did you ever get this figured out? -LordMarshal aka CizzleVizzle

    Global Catalog server for Exchange server

    We have also seen this issue numerous times within our environment, even with GC's that supposedly do not have anything pointing at them for catalog services. Pretty much what I got from M$ was, "really? It should not do that." In examining the event logs from around the time do you see...

    RUS configuation in DR scenario - can't change DC

    I am currently testing DR processes in our lab and while I can restore a functional (the services start) Exchange server, I am unable to modify the RUS to point it at a new domain controller (since the one it wants to point to is "dead"). The exact error is in the System Manager when I attempt...

    Making the much anticipated move to Commvault

    We are also getting ready to implement CommVault here (probably begining in early March). We have been on BackupExec 9.1 with pretty much not 1 day of 100% successful backups in over 8 months, so anything is an improvement! I have to offer a counter point to Houserocker; the CV folks have...

    2003 server and TS

    That error comes from logging into an account not granted appropriate rights to connect remotely to the computer. If you are using admin mode, there is a Remote Desktop Users group on the local machine, that the account must be a member of. (not sure if that is the right group name, but it is...

    Windows 2003 Server. Error. Please Help.

    Without all details of your hardware/OS and installed drivers, I would say this bears an uncanny resemblance to a Compaq/HP event for hardware. It would appear to be hardware, since it references the Bus or Interconnect and the source is the WMIxWDM (Windows Device Management). It could be a...

    Problems with BackupExec Remote Agent

    I may be mistaken, but I believe it requires access to the file system through the admin share? DOn't quote that, but are your admin shares turned off? Does the account you are using to run BE have full Domain Admin rights for that matter (I know that kills it). Just some thoughts... Hope...

    TCP/IP Problem. Able to send packets, but not receive

    Curious, do you have VLANS on that switched network of yours? If so, do you control them or do you have a network group that does that? Unless you are in the same physical port you built the server in, it could be a VLAN problem in your switch fabric... Just something to check... Hope it...

    Tombstone lifetime. HELP!!!!!

    Kabutomz, too late for that with a 60 day gap in replication. Once you get past 30, replication is totally out of date. You do have an option though, provided your intact schema and forest master systems still know about the child domain? If so, you can bring up a new domain controller...

    Sites and DNS

    Cwissy, How often do your DNS records change in a given day (do you even need internal DNS?) If you are primarily looking for outbound lookups(requests for web addresses and the like), then I would not recommend setting up a DNS server on each campus. (Although it would allow for local caching...

    how to shut down a service on a 2003 server from a NT box?

    I recommend a tool called psexec. (I believe it is a sysinternals tool) It acts as a remote command line and will execute anything you want on the remote system. In a batch file the command would be something like: psexec \\yourserverhere net stop "Your Service Name" I use it with great...
