That didn't really do it. What we ended up doing is upgrading to IIS 6. We were getting out of memory exceptions a lot from our app, and the upgrade fixed that as well. It still isn't able to use physical RAM to handle the application, and I think it has more to do with the architecture and...

Made that change. I'll monitor the app. I think I may have to either restart IIS or reboot the server to commit the change though. I'll pull 1 server from the pool and see what happens. Thanks! Tom

I just noticed something weird with our production web servers. First, here’s the basic config: Dell Blade Server Windows 2000 IIS 5 .NET Framework 1.1 SP1 1.4GHz Processor 2GB RAM Now, here’s my problem. Our web app is having memory issues which is causing the aspnet_wp.exe to hit the max...

Thanks for the responses. Sorry, I should have put more details in my post. We are on XP Pro here. The machines actually have old shares that were created 3+ months ago, but we cannot create new shares. We have been using c:\temp\test as a test share to create. NTFS permissions is everyone...

Right click on the top left corner of a command prompt. Click on "defaults". Then go to the "options" tab. Under "edit options", check "QuickEdit Mode". I do a lot of work in the command window, too. You can also change the same setting for individual command prompt icons, but defaults will...

Have you thought about giving people the right to remotely shut down the machine? You can assign that right within a GPO and push it to all workstations. I can’t think of any right other than administrative that would allow someone to unlock the workstation, but you can give the right to...

I’ve searched here and on google, and apparently we’re the first ones this has happened to because I can’t find any information this ever happening. On some machines, we can’t create new shares. We get the following error: The following error occurred while creating the share for Microsoft...

Nevermind. I'm a moron. I rebooted our OWA server and now I can connect to the new Exchange server just fine. Thanks, Tom

Here's our configuration: Our original Exchange server is Server 2000 SP4 with Exchange 2003 SP1. We have an OWA server on Server 2003 (no SP) and Exchange 2003 SP1 (FE only). I just built a second Exchange server so we can migrate the accounts to the new hardware. It's running Server 2003...

I'd recommend having one line entry per shortcut, because you should always avoid wildcards in batch files (especially login scripts) unless you have to or it makes more sense. I would also recommend doing an “if not exist” statement, that way it doesn’t automatically overwrite the shortcuts...

Thanks. That makes total sense. I forgot that 2003 standard can use the /3GB switch. Thanks, Tom

We have an Exchange 2003 server with 4GB of RAM, but when I built the server I was told by the previous Exchange admin to use the Standard server license instead of the enterprise license. After troubleshooting why we weren't using all of the RAM, I found out that we need to add the /3GB switch...

The version we use is 7.5. If you want to boot it up on net, you have to have a DOS bootable floppy or USB drive. Then you have to get the NDIS drivers and manually configure the network configuration. In your case, I would recommend making a DOS bootable USB drive without network drivers &...

We use an older, DOS version of Ghost (I can get the version number if you need it) where we boot to a DOS USB drive (or floppy) with network drivers & then launch Ghost. We just rolled out over 100 servers on 2003 with Ghost. Are you having issues specifically with Exchange 2003 or Windows...

We had issues before with Office 2003 and XP SP2. The problem was delays like that and also the users' inbox had a delay. It was most noticeable on distribution list emails because people without SP2 would get the message like 30 seconds before the users with SP2. We opted to not go to XP SP2...
