Page file is recommended to be 1.5x the physical RAM. If he has it maxxed out at 8GB it's going to suggest around 12GB of page file, so adding more RAM doesn't address this (and would be unusable if he already has 8GB).

In case someone else refers to this thread later: I also had to add a new object %SystemRoot%\system32\MsDtc to the Default Domain Controllers Policy\Computer Configuration\Windows Settings\Security Settings\File System\ and edit security to give the Network Service, Modify, Read and Execute...

That did it. I had tried that previously but I have done several things since then trying to get this resolved, plus last time I had done it as a separate GPO linked to the Domain Controllers OU and filtered to only apply to the affected DC, and also I had created the GPO from my WindowsXP...

I should add that the "DNS client" service also runs under the NetworkService built-in account and it starts without error. I'm presuming that's because the NetworkService account doesn't need full control to any registry keys to run the "DNS client" service, but that's just a guess.

The services are running under the built-in NetworkService account. I checked the policy and I ran an RSoP on the affected server and it shows 5 accounts with Log on as a Service rights, 2 are accounts I'm aware of, 3 are unresolved so it only shows the SID. Unless one of the unresolved SIDs...

Hi, I have a problem here that I can't seem to find any solution for. I ran adprep and installed the first 2003 DC on our Windows 2000 domain and things looked good, no errors and it's authenticating. I moved the FSMOs to it, and plan to leave most of the Windows 2000 DCs in place for a while...

Continuing the monologue ;) Found this article on MS KB, that sounds like the problem. I thought we were up to date on the hotfixes but I'm going to apply it anyway and see how it goes. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/836213/en-us

Hi, I have an Exchange 2000 sp3 server on Windows 2000sp4, been working fine. The last 2 weeks I've had 2 incidents where a specific sender from outside our company has had a message stick in the local delivery SMTP queue indefinately. It's a calendar invite, and I'm able to open it in...

We use net use to map com ports net use com1 \\client\com1: and then we use that to sync palms with Palm Desktop / Activesync. We used to use a login script to map the com port but the timing would yield an error message, though it would work anyway. To get rid of the error we just set up...

We do both types of backups. We back up the VMDK files associated with our Exchange server after a change is made and at intervals when we can take the Exchange server offline, and we also have the Backup Exec Remote Agent for Exchange running inside the VM and backing up to a separate Backup...

It's http://www.netflix.com and it's safe for work (no porn or anything). Here's a link to a discussion that helped us figure out what triggered the effect but doesn't help me figure out why it works that way: http://www.newmediamusings.com/blog/2004/07/netflix_down.html The person who...

Hi, If I push the system date on my computer forward to 10/2006 and try to browse to the Netflix website it reports a Site Not Found error. Can anyone tell me why that happens? Obviously I don't want to run around with the system date set incorrectly but when I ran into that effect it piqued...

Do you have to ghost cast? The easiest method I've seen is to attach the blank .dsk (vmdk) file you want to use to a temporary VM running Windows from a different .dsk (vmdk), then use Ghost32.exe within that guest OS to put the image on the blank .dsk (vmdk), then power it off, detach the...

If you're using VMWare Workstation you should set up the server VM to have one NIC using Bridged (if you have ip addresses available) or NAT (if you don't have any IP Addresses available) and then the second NIC should be set to Custom, then select one of the unoccupied VMNets, for this example...
