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?
Windows 2003 Server, 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 need to find all compressed files/folders regardless of file format on a Windows Server 2003 machine.
Search options do not provide this capability.
Is there a way to list/view all compressed files?
Perhaps, this can be done by PowerShell using file/folder attributes and put into a txt file with file location.
UPD:
Under compressed files/folders - I mean files which appear in blue color in Explorer after changing file/folder attribute.
Given an existing Excel 2003 document with cells of any type (integers, text, decimal, etc), how do I convert the contents of every cell to text?
And save all these changes in the same excel document?
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 tried this program called office sync but it does not work on ms office 2003.
It prompted me to input the username & password in google docs but when I try to look up the document that I save 20 minutes later nothing show up in the recent documents.
I need a windows 2003 hosted server for various websites that I develop and host. Any suggestions on a good deal out there?
I need full root access to IIS 6/7 and to be able to host multiple websites using host headers.
Thanks
I have a server app that crushes when the HDD free space it's a multiple of 4Gb (on a Windows Server 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

What do I need to do in Sql Server 2005 and/or in Windows Server 2003 to get permissions?
Please be thorough (assume I am a n00b). Thank you.
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)
Server 2003 with iSCSI Initiator version 2.08 - build 3825
(I'm copying files from anothe machine to shares on Server 2003 = 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?
I've got a network share with specific permissions on a subfolder (e.g. access to developers and freelancers). A designer copied PNG files from his local system to the network share.
These files didn't inherit the folder permissions, but only gave access to Administrators.
Is this a setting somewhere to restrict access, and can it be avoided?
The local system uses Vista, the server uses Windows 2003.
Are there any best practices for "temporary worker" accounts in a Windows server environment?
We have a couple of contractors joining the organization temporarily. They only need access to a few folders.
Aside from joining them to the "Domain Guests" group and granting them access only to the folders specified. Are there any other issues to be aware of?
We are in a Windows Server 2003 domain environment.
We have two lists of users (about 1000 each) that we need to add to groups in Active Directory (Windows Server 2003...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!
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 Windows server 2003 AD and Windows XP Pro on client computer.
Is there some (free) tool that reads Performance Counters (Windows 2008 Server, but 2003 support is a bonus) and adds them to a MS SQL Server 2008 database?
Doesn't need to be too fancy as in the worst case I can add "log rotation" through triggers.
Are there any good tools out there that I can use to find out which websites are the biggest drain on my Windows 2003 web server's resources? The server has been steadily slowing to a crawl and I want to know which sites should get priority for troubleshooting.
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.

Is there a recommended average CPU threshold in running Windows boxes based on experience in other shops?
Background:
We are running with Windows Server 2003 32-bit OS. Servers are handling a major enterprise-level web application suite with a high frequency of small transactions mixed in with much larger transactions - overall average is 13ms.
Our average overall CPU utilization of the Windows servers are ~60% during prime-shift. And we question at what level does the Windows OS begin to shimmy on the CPU scheduling road?
Thanks.
Is there some list of printers/scanners that are known to work with Terminal Services or some way to determine automatically if the device will work from the specifications?
I am needing to advise a customer on a small(as in, can set on a desk) all-in-one printer/scanner/fax that works with Terminal Services.
The client OS is Windows XP, the server OS is Server 2003.
We're running Windows Server 2003 SBS and another machine with Server 2003 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 Server 2003 box. I've noticed the windows directory is 4 gigs and I guess that's primarily windows updates.
As a side not, it would be cool to do this on my XP boxes if possible.
My server is windows server 2003. 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 a Windows 2003 print server that I need to retire.
Through variaous methods (login scripts, etc) I think that I had everyone migrated off of this server and connected to the new print server.
Having said that, I'd like to make sure before taking the server down :-)
Is there a script that I can run to query a remote workstations in my domain to see what printer shares it is connected to?
I have removed a device from Device Manager, Windows 2003 Server. 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.
