    Windows XP setup - No hard drives found

    Many newer motherboards will also let you designate a USB drive as a virtual floppy. Lame to have to work around it, but as noted above- Vista doesn't have this problem. It just has lots of other problems :)

    Rebuild and restore Exchange on different OS

    Ahh, misspoke- they were toying with going to the 64 bit OS, but no longer. I'd love to follow that KB article. Unfortunately the folks involved here haven't got a second server to stand up so we're going to have to approach this from a disaster-recovery point-of-view. At least that simplifies...

    Rebuild and restore Exchange on different OS

    We are looking at rebuilding our Exchange 2003 server due to performance issues. Detais are- Exchange Server 2003 Enterprise Server 2003 Standard Backups are reliable and verified I've been reading up on this and my question is can I rebuild the server with Server 2003 Enterprise and still be...

    Cluster Node's Machine account denied acces "Account is disabled"

    Forgot to note: these events occur whether the node is active or passive.

    Cluster Node's Machine account denied acces "Account is disabled"

    I am seeing the following in the security logs of both cluster nodes: Event Type: Failure Audit Event Source: Security Event Category: Logon/Logoff Event ID: 531 Date: 7/18/2007 Time: 8:17:54 AM User: NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM Computer: NODE01 Description: Logon Failure: Reason: Account...

    Installing SP3 on a failover cluster.

    That's good to know regarding the owner node. Missed anything referring to that in the articles I found.

    I look forward to you relating your experience. Thanks.

    Install SQL SP3 on Win2K cluster

    I'm not a DBA. That said, here we go- I have SQL2000 running on a Win2K Advanced Cluster, two nodes, one is active, the other idle awaiting failover. I need to install SQL SP3 on the cluster and I have looked over the KB articles related to it; however, some of it is greek to me. Here is...

    No room to upgrade to win 2000 server - 2Gb partition

    More details, please- is there unallocated space on the disk that the partition can expand to using a utility such as Partition Magic? Can you replace the drive and either ghost over your install or restore from backup? Or use the drive's install utility to move your installation to the new disk?

    Just a weird situation... can anyone help?

    This may be a mission for Regedt32- I ran in to a similar problem with CD burning software. Open Regedt32 go to HKLM\Software and select one of the problematic programs, then open the security/permissions menu and give the USERS group full access to the software. I would try this on one...

    Adding a Drive to a RAID Array

    I am somewhat surprised that Compaq's tools do not allow you to add a drive to an existing array (I'm assuming this is a hardware array since you mentioned the 5300). Have you installed the array manager from Compaq?

    System Boot Partition Full Need to Move to Larger Partition

    If you go to dynamic disks for disk1 I do believe Odissey's idea will work; however, if you want to stay with basic disks then Norton Ghost is the way to go.

    I need help auditing internet usage of a user

    One issue that no one here has mentioned: from a legal standpoint, unless you have hard evidence that this user is violating your policies auditing only his/her usage will avail you very little. We ran in to a similar issue about a year ago and I pushed to monitor ALL usage. This didn't sit...

    NT4.0 to 2000 Server migration

    Generally when introducing a Win2000 server to an NT domain as a DC you have to do it as an upgrade to the existing PDC. Win2K WILL act as a PDC for an NT 4.0 domain (It will default to mixed-mode operation), but the only way to do it is to follow the upgrade path- once you upgrade the PDC to...

    Replicating share information

    This turned out to be a no-brainer- copying the HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\lanmanserver\shares key and importing it to the new file server handled it quite nicely. I KNOW I used to know that...

    Replicating share information

    Unfortunately the backup method we are using has a number of, shall we say, "features" that prevented this. We are not (currently) backing up the registry or open files. It's really quite lovely, in a horrific, Satanic sort of way.

    Replicating share information

    Situation: 2 W2K member servers in an NT4.0 Domain 1 server is a temporary file server set up after the catastrophic failure of our original file server. All data was restored and the shares on it were recreated manually, one at a time... New server is built and ready to take over. We can...

    HD replacement on NT4

    generally speaking, NT letters primary partitions first, so if you have a primary on drive 1, an extended on drive 1 and a primary on drive 2 you will get: c: primary 1 d: primary 2 e: extended 1 If it was primary 1, second primary 1, primary 2, you would get c: primary 1 d: second primary 1...

    Prevent downloading of roaming profile

    There are three workstations and a BDC. I did set up policies to default to local on those machines, but it blithely ignores this and uses the roaming profile instead.

    Adding NT4 Server to Win2k Domain

    Have you installed the AD client for NT? Not sure if it will help, but it can't hurt. Should be on the 2000 CD under the CLIENTS folder.
