"once" I did backup my scheduled tasks by xcopy'ing %winDir%\Tasks\*.job
However this does not seem to work in Server2008.
How do I backub my scheduled tasks using xcopy/7zip/winrar ?

Can I create a windows & full backup and restore it on Hyper-V?
Please let me know what will work best and if you have any other suggestions.
Last week I had a problem with my server (Windows SBS 2008 ), so I made a restore point to resolve that problem. But after I did it any workstation (Windows 7) try to login takes 50 seconds. I tried to find an error in event viewer, but there are no errors.
Can anyone help me?
We currently have a Windows Server2008 machine that we have configured with a Custom Task to send an email whenever an error occurs in a certain Event Log. The trigger works perfectly, and sends emails whenever we need them to.
HOWEVER, we cannot find a way to get the email to contain information about the error, particularly the error message. Is there any way to have the message change based on the contents of the event-log error?
Hi my problem is this:
I have a 3 pc (192.168.1.2,..3,..4) and a windows 2008server (192.168.1.100) router is 192.168.1.1.
I just want that the 3 pc set like gateway 192.168.1.100, are filter by squid proxy loaded in win2008
so in win2008 I 've set in control panel the proxy 192.168.1.100:3128 and in win2008 browser work, the connection is filtered by proxy, but in 3 pc not works, so maybe I should route all incoming request into squid, but I dunno how ...
thanks
I have a new Windows 2008server with IIS7. When I connect to the ftp in active mode, it works fine. In passive mode, it connects, but then times out trying to get the directory listing. I tried disabling both firewalls, but it didn't help. I've tried this with difference client machines and different ftp client software, with no change. Any ideas?
Hi,
Does anyone know how to run an automatic backup of specific directories in Windows 2008? Looking at Windows Server Backup (I guess the "replacement" for NTBackup.exe) it seems like you are only able to backup whole volumns.
TIA.

When I remote desktop to my Windows Server2008 (a hosted virtual server) I see a login screen showing an icon for each user in the system. I can click on a user then enter a password and login.
This is a terrible security oversight in my opinion as it gives anyone that might want to compromise my server a full list of valid usernames. Is there a way to revert to the old style of login screen requiring both username and password?
Thanks
I am having a problem with Timeslips by Sage 2010.
Frequently throughout the day as I have Timeslips running an alert Window will open stating:
"System error. Code: 5. access is denied"
There is one button: OK. I can click the button, but nothing happens. I have to kill the Timeslips.exe process and re-open the software.

I have a Windows Server2008 X64 machine that I need to swap the boot drive on. I'd like to use a disk image/restore utility to make an image of the boot partition and restore that to the new drive.
Does anyone know of a free or reasonably priced tool that can do this? I know that Acronis True Image will do it, but you need to have their server product to restore images of a server OS and it's prohibitively expensive ($850).
Thanks,
jon
I can not find a valid kerbtray.exe for windows server2008. I can only find for 2000 and 2003. Does it not exist or it is just replaced with something else?
Howdy,
I just recently installed hyper-v server2008 r2 on a dedicated server i have, but i'm having trouble enabling remote management.
Running the HVRemote - http://code.msdn.microsoft.com/HVRemote - tool seems to have yielded some positive results, and all tests on the server pass (firewall, permissions, etc), but client-side things are not working. I'm stuck at this step :
5: - Simple query to root\cimv2 WMI namespace
FAIL - Simple query failed
Cannot perform simple query against root\cimv2
Anyone could help me figure this out? I'm almost giving up and installing XenServer...
Thanks

I have a number of scheduled tasks which simply open a web page in Windows Server2008 R2. They used to run and end without abending, but now they open and stay open and I have to setup the task to quit them by force before their next scheduled run. I've thought about installing CURL or WGET, but is there a way to do this with R2 without going to that step?
Regards.
Can anyone recommend a good eSATA PCIe card for Windows Server2008 (x64)? I bought a J-Micron JMB363 and it's recognized by the OS and I can install one of their reference drivers, but it's not picking up the drive I have attached to it.
Basically, I want to be able to transfer exported Hyper-V machines quickly to an external drive, and it seems that using one of these eSATA cards is the way to go.

Hi all
There is a simple way to check the integrity of a backup made with Windows Backup in Windows 2008Server Enterprise (not R2)?
Today i tried to restore some files from a backup I made some days ago, and the Windows Backup snap-in reported that the file was unreadable. I think the corruption occurred due to the network share in wich the files were being stored went offline during the backup process, that was my fault.

I run Windows 2008Server (x64) as a workstation and my computer is on one domain and my exchange server, shared folders and intranet is on another domain.
Every time I connect to these eg. every time I open Outlook I am prompted to supply username and password in a "Connect to"-dialog and the "Remember password" option has no effect.
What can I do to avoid this manual step every time?
If I am running the 180 evaluation of Server2008 R2 Standard then wish to purchase the full product will I have to reinstall or will the evaluation activate using my key and all will be well till the end of time?
We have a windows 2008server and lately we have started seeing a lot of 5152 Events logged in the server (Windows Filtering Platform blocked a packet).
We have an inbound rule configured to allow connections to the port which was working fine earlier. I'm not sure what changed lately. But this doesn't make any sense.
The packet is dropped even when windows firewall is disabled. What am I missing?
On our 2003 Terminal Servers I am able to view any auto-created printers for users connected to that server, however on a new 2008 R2 RDS server I can only view local printers and my own auto-created printer(s).
I have local and domain admin privileges.
Is there something I need to change to be able to view all client printers? Is it possible?
I have had a look for permissions relating to this but couldn't really find much that looked relevant.
Hi,
We have very quickly out-grown our Small Business Server2008 current hardware and have decided to purchase a complete new server.
What is the best and easiest way to move the server to new hardware?
It is one complete box, we do not have any SAN's or any complicated setup. We do have a couple of SQL databases running on the server and we also use Exchange.
I'm sure there must be some easy way to move everything :-)
How can I disable the windows authentication mode of SQl Server and restrict it to ask for user and Password every time and no windows authentication. for security purposes
I need to run bcp.exe on a client machine which has no SQL Server2008 installed. Does anyone know the minimum install options I need to select to get the bcp tool? I tried 'Client Tools Connectivity' but that didn't include it.
