I’m doing my first Server 2008 R2 install on a Dell PE R710. I’m running hardware RAID-5 via a PERC 6/i card. Upon first boot up after install, I see a system reserved partition that is labeled as the System partition (as well as Primary), and the C: volume/partition that is also the Primary...

We have found that we have a 'partial' AD replication between the domain controller outside of our domain with the controllers inside the domain via a VPN connection. 'Partial' meaning that any changes made in the AD on the outside controller will be picked up by the controllers within the...

We have figured out how to prevent a given group of domain users from launching internet browsers via GPO regardless of what domain machine they use. However, we would actually like to limit it by domain machine. Any ideas? Thanks! "I enjoyed my youth so much that I decided to bring it...

I have a share on a server that has reached EOL. I have been robocopying the share files to an alternate machine. What is the best way (most transparent to users) to allow the share name to remain the same but redirect the users to the new storage space? Thanks! "I enjoyed my youth so much...

We have several GB of used space unaccounted for on one of our volumes on a W2K server. When the dir tool is run with the /Q switch, a line of 3 periods (...) appear where the owner entries should be. Is there a solution for this? Also, instead of dir, I'd love to use the fileowners.pl tool...

A laptop is running Vista Ultimate Edition and is joined to a 2003 domain. All files that were previously on the file server are accessible. However, any new files that are created or modified and saved on the server will not open on the laptop. They give an “Access Denied” error even though...

I noticed when installing remote access clients for BackupExec 9.1 that on one of my domain controllers the System State was listed separately within the file structure and on the other it was listed within the Shadow Copy Components. Both DCs are running WinServer2003 SP2. The only difference...

Occasionally we experience brute force attacks in the form of a non-domain member infected machine getting the list of users from our AD, then trying a dictionary attack on their accounts. How do we shield our AD from the outside so this info (user accounts, etc) cannot be seen? Thanks! "I...

I have received error messages prompting me to run the DBCC CHECKDB command. I do very little SQL maintenance. How exactly do I run this (i.e. where exactly)? Thanks! "I enjoyed my youth so much that I decided to bring it along with me." -GC

I have an XP SP2 Pro system blue screening w/unmountable boot volume error. The chkdsk /r can't get passed 69%...it just stops. The fixboot finds a corrupt boot sector and writes a new one, but a subsequent startup corrupts it again. Ideas? "I enjoyed my youth so much that I decided to bring...

I have a user running an XPSP2 desktop on our network and connected to three network printers. The default printer choice keeps changing to one of the non-default network printers after the user sends a couple of print jobs to it. The user can change the default setting back manually, but it...

I have a single site, single domain AD W2K03 structure. There are 3 domain controllers across the domain. What tool or method is available to determine how many domain users logins each DC is authenticating? Thanks! "I enjoyed my youth so much that I decided to bring it along with me."...

Every two hours in the applications log of my Win 2003 server (not a DC - just a member file & print server) I receive a 1704 info event (security policy applied successfully) immediately followed by a 1091 error entry. What I’ve been able to determine via subsequent research and the RSOP tool...

I am looking for an application that can proactively scan my servers' event logs for warnings (that I would otherwise not see until I put aside the time to actually pour through the logs) and subsequently alert me of such. I have read some info regarding the GFiLANguard product, but I'm...
