Today in IIS I came into my server and all of my drive letters were changed from D: to E:?
Hacked I guess? Anyone ever have this happen to them?
Windows2003Server, only 2 drives in the Machine C:, D:. I have not touched the machine and the Drive Letter itself did not change just the setting in IIS for site Home Directory that point to it.
IE:
D:\websites\mywebsite.com
was changed to
E:\websites\mywebsite.com
I'm trying to do Remote Administration of IIS in C#.NET using System.Web.Administration tools. Everything works fine on a test server (windows 2008), however when I try using our live server (windows 2003) it fails giving the message:
System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException : Not enough storage is available to process this command. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80070008)
The server itself has plenty of memory free, so I believe this is some kind of memory limit with the RPC itself.

Is there any way around this?
I have a server app that crushes when the HDD free space it's a multiple of 4Gb (on a WindowsServer 2003). In general i keep track myself o that weekly since i use the machine from time to time.
Can you point out an app or script (i don't wanna install powershell, is this doable???) that copies some larger files from one folder to another to get the free space out of the multiple of 4Gb range.
Best regards,
Mike
I have looked into this error and it seems that it hasn't been discussed yet - or at least I can't find any information relating.
I'm having issues transferring files, usually larger files over a couple of hundred MB.
Here is the setup:
QNAP 410 as iSCSI Target with multiple LUNs.
(CRC is turned on (Data Digest and Header Digest)
Server2003 with iSCSI Initiator version 2.08 - build 3825
(I'm copying files from anothe machine to shares on Server2003 = into TrueCrypt volume ergo onto the NAS)
I have mounted the LUN and formatted it with TrueCrypt using NTFS (Full format, not a quick one).
What happens is some files, mainly RAR/Compressed files, appear as if they copy but fail. I've tested this in a number of ways and can repeat the process every time.
So I thought to check transfer over iSCSI without TrueCrypt in between, a plain NTFS format - no problem at all.
So it would seem TrueCrypt is at least part of the problem here.
I haven't tried copying directly from the server yet, I will try that. I also haven't tried it without CRC but fail to see how that would affect this. I will update with my findings later.
In the meantime does anyone have any ideas as to what could be wrong?
Thanks for your time.
Update:
I copied a set of files, the ones I was having issues with, to the server then from there I copied those into two places within the TrueCrypt volume (Mounted on the NAS).
A seperate directory create in the root of the volume
The same initial directory I was using in the first instance
Both worked fine. So it now seems clear that this is a link between TrueCrypt, iSCSI and Windows Shares.
I say this because I originally setup the whole system using TrueCrypt volume files, not iSCSI. I changed it as it didn't suit my requirements - day wasted as well. While I had this setup though I copied my entire file set to the volume files and all files copied without error - over the network, from a pc, to the server where TrueCrypt had the volume files mounted from the NAS.
I didn't bother turning off CRC on the iSCSI system as I highly doubt that is the cause in light of this finding.
So any ideas?
We have two lists of users (about 1000 each) that we need to add to groups in Active Directory (Windows Server2003...one list will be in one group, one in the other). All the users currently exist in the directory, but we just need to assign them properly. Is there an easy way to do this without scripting? If not, can it be scripted with Ruby, Perl or Python?
Thanks!
I have recreated a new email user on a Windows SBS 2003 Active Directory via Advanced Management.
I need to enable Outlook Office access on the user's PC but Microsoft Outlook Office does not show in the Add Programs\Set Program Access\Custom section.
There are tools that allow you to hide the icon for Set program access but I need to add content, specifically Outlook Office. Outlook Express is enabled but I don't need it.
We set the Group Policy for our Domain and OUs to show the logon message:
Computer Configuration\Windows Settings\Security Settings\Local Policies\Security Options\
Interactive logon: Message text for users attempting to log on
but nothing happen when the client computer logon. I checked the RSOP.MSC to see the group policy that set and the message is set on client computer but it doesn't show at the logon prompt. so what should I do? We have Windowsserver2003 AD and Windows XP Pro on client computer.
We're running WindowsServer2003 SBS and another machine with Server2003 Standard on it.
The SBS server is about 7 years old running pretty much 24/7 - a HP server of some description. We have an Ultrium 448 cycling LTO2 400GB tapes daily and incrementally backing up approximately 100gb worth of data (20gb C:\ and system state, 40gb exchange, 40gb database for some crap marketing software) on BackupExec 10D. As of 5 months ago, the backups have been consistently failing with IO errors, bad reads and some write errors.
When I say consistent, I mean every time and we haven't had a proper backup for the entire 5 months - So if the server explodes tomorrow, 7 years worth of data will just cease to exist. I've only just recently rejoined the company and am looking at rectifying the more concerning problems, so the first thing I did was try a backup to an USB2.0 external drive. It was excruciatingly slow. In fact it was so slow it took 40 hours and it still wasn't finished. I ended up cancelling it and reconfiguring the selections again to reduce file size. This, however, isn't a permanent solution.
I concluded that the IO error was either from a faulty tape drive (which has a tape stuck in there right now and not coming out) or from a dying SCSI controller. Neither of them are good news and both are extremely expensive to fix. I'm operating on an extremely low budget so have been looking at outsourcing the backups.
A company in Sydney (where I'm located) offer incremental online backups via a NAS. It costs almost double a new tape drive but offers monthly repayments which will let us get through times when cash flow is minimal. It seems like a sweet deal but it is still a little bit pricey. So I'm looking for a cheaper, yet reliable solution. Maybe some in-house NAS or something offsite? The idea is to avoid using tapes.
Are there any recommendations for rectifying my current situation? Or are tapes the only way to go? I'm concerned that the server will die one day in the near future and I must be able to restore it to another server with different hardware.
I have a Windows 2008 server connecting to an iSCSI target on an OpenSolaris box (yay ZFS!). I'd like to create a private network between the 2 boxes that is totally separate of my Windows domain.
What is the best way to configure the additional network adapter on the Windows machine so it doesn't think the new subnet is part of the Windows domain? I want to make sure Windows doesn't magically start spewing active directory communications over the private wire and that it doesn't start poisoning the DNS with IPs from the private network.
My server is windowsserver2003. I got a huge list of subscribers. Lots of them have invalid email like, [email protected], [email protected], [email protected]...
I want to send a email to all my users, but it will send to those invalid email as well. And thus, it will create bounce email. How to handle those bounce email? Any good tutorial I can follow?
I have removed a device from Device Manager, Windows2003Server. This device will installed when computer rebooted. How can I revert this change so it doesn't remove it anymore on reboot? Where in the registry can this be removed and prevented.
I created a AD 2003 GPO to add a couple of the company's links to everyone's IE. I have the following:
Checked: Place Favorites and Links at the Top of the List...
Unchecked: Everything else
Then:
Favorites
|-Company Link One
|-Company Link Two
Links
However, the GPO seems to add Favorites Bar, Microsoft Websites, MSN Websites, and Windows Live folders. If they are deleted it seems to make them come back. Anyone know how to fix this?
When restoring Exchange databases with Netbackup to the Recovery Storage Group, can I restore multiple mail stores or only one at a time with Exchange 2003 Enterprise Edition?

Does anyone know if there is a root cause and solution to the OS X 10.6 Samba issues? We are seeing very slow connects from 10.6.2 to WindowsServer2003 via samba.
(smbclient connects fast every time)
Any suggestions?
I'm currently P2Ving over my 2003 exchange server and would like to know the best way to use the synchronization feature? I already P2V'd this server over about 5 times and had great success without any outages of service etc. I would like to set it up where just as it finishes the full clone that it starts synchronizing the change automatically. How and can I set this up and what is the best version? I'm using version 4.0.
Thanks.
DEP (Microsofts Data Execution Prevention) stopps sometimes some apps and kills it out of memory. As an administrator, may i see such events in a log and if which one?
My experience is that there is no user information as written in Help about DEP, user reported only that the desired app disappears from their screens. This happens on a Citrix-Server running on a windows-2003 R2 64-Bit Server.
I'm getting an error when I try to install .NET 2.0 on my Server2003 SP1;
Error 25007.Error occurred while initializing fusion.
Setup could not load fusion with LoadLibraryShim()
.NET-Framework 1.1 is already installed, is that the problem? I always thought you can just override any older installations of .NET
This question was asked on the MySQL forums in 2004 with no answers.
I'm installing MySQL 5.0.x on a Windows2003Server for use with Drupal. I began to configure the backup with mysqldump when it occurred to me that an ntbackup taken using shadow copying should be reliable enough for backing up the database. Is there any flaw in my logic?
I'm currently trying to install .NET 3.5 SP1 on a Windows2003 SP1 Server and it gives me an error saying that this needs to be done with the "role-management tool".
Where do I find that tool and how to use it?!

I am trying to get our subversion configuration management repository to work with active directory. At the moment I am having a problem with some users having mixed case user names in active directory.
Would it be possible to change all users with mixed case user names to be all lowercase instead?
I'm using WindowsServer2003 Active Directory with 64 bit domain controller running on Windows 2000 mixed functionality.
I have an installation of Outlook 2003 that won't print emails as of this morning. It can print calendars, and every other program can print fine.
Outlook won't print the emails to any printer, not even a PDF creator. As soon as you hit "Print" nothing happens, there's no notification that the print job was sent or anything. The print server never receives a request to print from the computer.
I found out recently that a user with an Android phone is using TouchDown to sync with his Exchange 2003 account. What's the best way of blocking this?
