    Spooler SubSystem App cpu process high 90's

    Try running this script and see if it helps. Save as a .bat file and run in a privileged (Administrator) command prompt. net stop spooler del /Q /F /S "%systemroot%\System32\Spool\Printers\*.*" net start spooler

    Server 2008 R2 domain name missing suffix (e.g. DOMAIN instead of DOMAIN.COM)

    We recently set up a new Server 2008 R2 domain, and are having a weird issue. When joining the domain, I can't join a machine by typing "domain.com" for the domain. It only "finds" the domain if I type "domain" and join that way. When logging in as well, the logon screen shows "domain\username"...

    Temp File Cleanup script

    Hi, I wrote this script in order to keep temp files to a minimum on our Windows Server 2008 machines. We also run it at startup (part of the login process) on all workstations in the domain. Make sure to read the script before running it, so you're aware of what it deletes, and in case it...

    Bizarre DNS issue

    Hi Linney, thanks for posting. No, it's not related to DNS changer (unfortunately). I did end up tracking the issue down. It appears we had an old Linux server still acting as NetBIOS master and was passing out old/bad data to clients. Additionally, the TCP/IP Helper for NetBIOS service was...

    Bizarre DNS issue

    I'm having a strange DNS issue on a lot of our client Windows 7 workstations that I've narrowed down to the following: When the DNSCache (DNS Client) service is running: - Clients cannot resolve four particular hostnames - Clearing the DNS cache (ipconfig /flushdns) and then pinging the hosts...

    Solutions to common sysprep failures with COPYPROFILE

    I've been tearing my hair out trying to figure out why my virtually unchanged image was failing on deployment. It kept tossing error code 0x80070070 along with a message about failing to copy the administrator profile to the default profile. In our case it turned out to be a relatively simple...

    Request: Review my DHCP Watchdog and Failover script and comment

    Made some corrections to the script. Updated: :: Purpose: DHCP server Watchdog & Failover script. Read notes below :: Requirements: 1. Domain administrator credentials :: 2. Proper firewall configuration to allow connection :: 3. Proper...

    Request: Review my DHCP Watchdog and Failover script and comment

    Since Windows 2008 lacks the ability to do proper failover between a primary and backup DHCP server (I don't consider split-scope a "real" solution), I hacked together this watchdog script to run on a backup DHCP server. It checks the primary DHCP server every so often (user-specifiable), and...

    Used "deny unknown-clients", but DHCPD still passing out IP's??

    I forgot to specify, using the configuration above, the server is still passing out IP addresses to unknown clients.

    Used "deny unknown-clients", but DHCPD still passing out IP's??

    Hi there, I'm having an odd issue with my dhcpd.conf file on a Fedora Core 13 system. The server is at a remote site and my desire is for it to only give IP addresses to reserved clients (by MAC address). The problem is that it is still passing IP's out to unknown clients. I'm sure it's a...

    Different subnet per interface - static routes required?

    Thank-you Cisconooblet. We'll have a 'green' network and a 'blue' network which access the mail server in the DMZ. I understand Green and Blue will be able to initiate connections to the server and the ASA will allow the return traffic. Our Domain Controller and samba file server is residing...

    Different subnet per interface - static routes required?

    I have an ASA 5510 with a WAN connection to the outside world. Currently it looks like this: [Internet] | [ASA] | 192.168.x subnet | [NAT device] | 172.16.x subnet My plan is to move both subnets to their own interface on the ASA and remove the second NAT device. The...

    HOW to create an elevated command Prompt in Vista?

    It will prompt for the login password, unfortunately. If you want to embed your password IN the batch file (bad practice!!) you could use CPAU.exe. You'll have to google it, but it lets you run things as another user and save the password in the script.

    .bat file to start/stop a service as domain admin

    You could do something complicated like have it trigger the batch file when a certain file changes. Or just schedule a service restart every 5 minutes? :-/

    HOW to create an elevated command Prompt in Vista?

    Here's a batch file we use for staring an Elevated command-prompt as another user. Since our regular user accounts are separate from our Administrator accounts (best practice) it's a pain to get Vista to do a "run as another user" on a command-prompt AND do it as an administrator. Create a...

    Automatic updates, BITS & Windows Installer won't start on Server 2003

    At this point it may be time for a reinstall :-(

    Automatic updates, BITS & Windows Installer won't start on Server 2003

    Ceil32, I Googled around a bit, and found this for the Windows Update / automatic updates error: You may also try SFC (system filechecker) to see if any Windows system files are corrupted. sfc /scannow or sfc /? for a list of options

    CMD to change IP address

    Hi dbustamante, glad the script is working for you! I googled around a bit and the only thing I found was this: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/298593 Apparently there's a utility called "netdom.exe" that's part of the Windows XP support tools that will do what you want. It'd be pretty easy to...

    CMD to change IP address

    Hey, this is a bit late, but we've been using this little batch file (setip.bat) on our systems for quite a while. You can call it directly from the command-line by specifying the network adapter to be changed. Just drop it in System32. For what it's worth! :: Purpose: Allows you to...
