Ok, 1) Start your own thread. 2) RAID 5 isn't a Windows THING, it's completely un-related. Windows doesn't really "do" RAID. 3) You'll probably need to recreate the container, which means wiping the current config, which means a backup & restore will be required. That is, unless the RAID hardware you're using supports adding disks to a RAID 5, which is what you're doing if you're adding a hot spare, which I DOUBT. If you just want it as a spare, then you have no problems, but you will have to manually replace the failed drive, in it's slot, with the working one. Also, you need to check that your RAID hardware supports hot spares. Link to the new post and I'll follow it.

Redundant Array of (Independent|Inexpensive) Disks.

Sounds like a bunch of hard drives to me.

They are physically independent. But they must work together to GIVE the system its performance goals.

A bunch of flowers and a floral arrangement are not the same
A Drive Array is not a bunch of drives.

4.	Solve : How to Regain previous IP or (Reserved IP) from the DHCP??
Answer» Hey everyone. We have a DHCP on our network,from where most PCs ACQUIRE the IP add. But some PC need to keep the same IP add for CERTAIN applications and frequent remote access. Recently one of these kind of machines crushed, so i had to perform a clean Win XP Pro installation, this machine had its IP add reserved but when i joined it back to the Domain it acquired a different IP add. My question is: is there anyway i can make it acquire the PREVIOUS IP which was reserved? i do know what the IP add is. We running win srv 2003 R2 Enterprise. all Client Stations OS is Win XP Pro SP3. The lease time is 8hrs. Appreciate any help. ThxWith a million combinations of #'s why fight it ? ? Just assign it a new IP.Thanks Patio. In fact it already acquired a new IP add, and i thought of doing the same thing, unfortunately the user who manages this PC and its respective application, said there is a strong necessity to retain the previous IP add due to various connection that this machine receives, and he does not want to go around and redo the configuration that is in place. Since the previous IP add is reserved I'm thinking to assign it manually and see if this resolves the issue. Will post back the outcome. Thanks guys.Just to make sure you are saying that the address has been removed from the DHCP pool? If the address is not reserved you could have a duplicate address on the network and take both systems down. If the address is reserved then you should be able to REMOVE DHCP from the client and assign the static address that the user is requesting. This will force the client system to only use that assigned address. If your system is so critical that it always needs the same IP address, industry best practices say that it should have a static IP, not DHCP. The DHCP server adds a point of failure that isn't necessary.Thanks guys for all your input, i all i had to do is to assign it a static IP Add, and that solved the issue. Once again thanks.

6.	Solve : Unable to access Virtual Lab to test Windows 2008?

8.	Solve : Windows server 2008 Need Help please?
Answer» i have an old pc and my gud one now i want to put windows server 2008 on the old pc but it wont boot the cd i burned it came from dreamspark no worries and i then put the hdd in my pc and installed it on there but when i put it back in my old pc it starts and then LOOPS before windows loadup screen i then TESTED it in my new pc were it worked just fineWhat you have EXPERIENCED is normal. If you install Windows on a PC and then take the hard drive out and put it in a different PC, it won't work. That is because each Windows installation ties itself to the hardware of the PC it is installed to. you could use a tool like sysprep to run through the mini setup. This is how places like dell load an IMAGE with software already installed. The mini setup will detect and install all hardware that drivers are supplied for.

9.	Solve : share size in server 08?
Answer» Do any of you know if there is a way to limit the size that a share can grow? I have a storage space that AROUND 3 TB. I am wanting to limit the size to 1 TB for the share leaving 2 TB of available space. Quotas- try here: http://www.simple-talk.com/sysadmin/exchange/implementing-windows-server-2008-file-system-quotas/ awesome thanks! I did not realize that you NEEDED to install not only the file server but the FSRM also.

10.	Solve : System time changes to 2002?
Answer» Very strange issue where my Windows Server R2 machine changes the system time to 2002, but leaves the same day, time, and month. This only happens when the server is REBOOTED or if c:/ drive is accessed. Any ideas?I would say either a virus or a dying cmos battery.Do a virus scan on the server. If there's no viruses, CHECK to see where it is getting time UPDATES from. Perhaps the time PROVIDER is having ISSUES.

15.	Solve : C:\windows\installer files?
Answer» question is, are the installer files important to keep around? they're TAKING up 1.4 gb of SPACE on a 16gb drive, so I kind of want them gone if possible. operating system is server 2003 if it makes a difference.Is this installer files for your server's hardware? You COULD write it into a CD and be in handy if circumstances need it.I don't KNOW if they're hardware install files..... it's kind of the whole reason I posted my question. I don't know what they are. The files have a random assortment of letters and numbers followed by either .msp or .msi And I'm not about to copy all those files to a cd. If they're important, then they need to stay there. If not, I'm not going to try to keep track of them on a cd. Also, a correction. The PATH is C:\Windows\inf\Installer\, not C:\Windows\Installer.you know add/remove programs? Well most of the applications in there won't uninstall if you delete those files...The path on my XP is c:/windows/installer

17.	Solve : "ProxyDHCP service did not reply" Error?
Answer» Hi, I am deploying Win 7 Pro, using WDS, onto Samsung and TOSHIBA laptops. The server is Intel i7 CPU, Gigabyte motherboard with DUAL Gigabit LAN cards and 12GB RAM - a very capable system to say the least! I have also connected 2 Netgear ProSafe 16 Port Gigabit Switches so that I can deploy images up to 30 machines at once (Cat 6e cable in use too). I can connect and deploy these images successfully using both LAN cards, and through both Netgear switches. The PROBLEM I am experiencing is that if I connect more than three machines at once, they remainder get the dreaded: "PXE-E55 ProxyDHCP service did not reply to request on port 4011" I have researched this and it suggests that I should remove the reference to 060 PXE Client within the server settings. However, when reading the recommendations for the server settings, under DHCP, it clearly states that this option should be ticked as the DHCP server is also acting as a PXE server. Suffice it to say I deleted the reference anyweay to see what happens, and after a reboot the PXEClient property is automatically added back by the OS anyway. I've tested both LAN cards with the Belkin network test facility and they are both fine. Can anyone offer any suggestions?Resolved! Ignore M$ advice and DO NOT SELECT the tick box option: WDS> Server Properties> DHCP > Configure DHCP option 60 to indicate that this server is also a PXE server, But instead Add 060 to the scope of the DHCP Server > Scope > Scope Options. Sorted

19.	Solve : Add "other" groups to computer when joining domain?
Answer» I am trying to find a way to add a number of security groups to a computers Local Administrators when they are JOINED to a domain, much like the Domain Admins group is dropped into each when they are joined. So a couple of questions... Is there a way to automatically do this when they are joined? Can it be applied via Group Policy? I apologize if this has been addressed, and I can't quite get the PHRASING correct to get a result on google... Thanks!Not really sure what you are wanting to do..... Are you trying to migrate custom security groups from your DC into CLIENT computers? If so, maybe check out the Restricted Groups in Group Policy/Policies/Windows Settings/Security Settings. That MAY have what you're looking for. Not sure, though since I don't really know what you're trying to accomplish.I want to be able to add other domain security groups to the local computers Administrators group automatically when the computer is joined to the domain, just like the "Domain Admins" group is dropped in when joined.The domain security groups are global, so they should be inherited by any computer on the domain.

16.	Solve : RAID 10 upgrade?
Answer» the system in question IBM server rack, 6 drive array (hot swap) RAID 10 setup, all drives are 73 gig total storage 204 gig. Server 2008 64bit, SP2 Can I replace the 6 drives with 6 300 gig drives and RECLAIM the space on the boot volume, or do I have to create another drive letter for the additional space. ONE other factor, the array is basic now, would changing to dynamic make a difference and when would this change occur, before or after the drive swap Thanks for your helpIt all depends on your raid controller. Check the manual to SEE if it allows for expansion. I know that the Intel raid controllers I use all allow online expansion and raid migration, but I don't even know what the model number for yours is.

21.	Solve : Active Directory?
Answer» Hello! I NEW to server.I have some problem. I Create a new domain tree in Active Directory from DCPROMO Now i try to create a child domain in Active Directory. When i open dcpromo "This server is the last domain CONTROLLER in the domain check box" My question is how to add new child domain? Thank you.You need to do dcpromo on another pc. You can't do it on the same ONE. That's why you get that message about being the last dc. Running dcpromo on the pc that you already ran it from means you WANT to "delete" the dc. You'll only get the option for a new child domain if you run dcpromo on a different pc. Thank you for quick REPLY !!!!

24.	Solve : moving shares, but keeping users' shorcut the same ??
Answer» We run a Windows Server 2003 environment (2 DC's) with multiple XP workstations, latest Service Packs. Users all have a shortcut on their XP workstations that point to server1 for SHARED folders (\\server1\...). We need to move the shared folders to server2, but we want to keep the user shorcuts to "\\server1" as is. We tested with making a CNAME record in the DNS called "shared" and POINTING it to the IP of server1...Did a ping and it resolved to the correct IP address (goal was to see if we could path to "\\shared" through windows explorer, but could not." Our intention was to move the shares to server2 and put a CNAME record called server1 that would resolve to server2's IP address. But it's obvious that wont work since our little test failed. How can we do this, simplified. Thanks...have you checked into DFS? This is very picky about the configuration but once it is running you can modify paths without CHANGING the users short cuts or paths. check out the link: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc738688%28WS.10%29.aspx Yea I've looked into Distributed File System. Just wanted a quick FIX for now, plus I'm not sure how DFS would work with a Hard Drive Enclosure; yet. Ultimately that will be the way we go, again just wanted a quick fix so we can hardware upgrade next week. Thanks! Still researching so if anyone KNOWS a way, or has a idea I can look into please post.Well after almost two full days of research there are three solutions for me, here they are for anyone with a similar issue... 1) Create alias in WINS server - server1 must be taken offline for this to work 2) Create CNAME record server1 to point to server2's IP address, then reg hack on server2 HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Lanman\Parameters\DisableStrictNameChecking (DWORD = 1) 3) Registry hack again - server1 must be taken offline for this to work HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Lanman\Parameters\OptionalNames (REG_SZ = server1 name here) Do believe you can make it a multiple string value if need be Haven't tried anyone of these, but I'm sure they will do the trickWhy not map a drive on their pcs to the new share?

26.	Solve : Disk Quota Help??
Answer» I have a question.. i am running windows server 2003, i have like 10 users.. and i've MADE home folders and set quota's on their home directory. Now that works but i have another question. I have also made other maps on a different PARTITION.. i got like 5 maps and i have set the disk quota's to 50 MB max. I dont WANT EACH user to be able to write 50 MB to those maps, i want the maps to be 50 MB all together.. so 50 MB is available for ALL users. So i dont want each user to be able to write 50 MB. Can anyone help? I have GOOGLED alot and searched in the faqs but i couldnt find anything.. Help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.! Gucciluchave you set the disc quota on the share? Try limiting the share quota to 50 MB. go into disc management then the quota tab. I'm not 100% sure since I haven't OPENED up my server book in years. However, I believe this was a limitation of server 2003. It's on a user basis rather than folder basis.

27.	Solve : Recovery Partition Not Recognised Using MDT & WDS?
Answer» Hi Everyone, Apologies in advance for the length of this POST, but I want to get as much info across as possible. My company has purchased thousands of Acer laptops, that we will sell to selected customers only. Acer will not provide us with the master image of these MACHINES (nothing new there where Acer is concerned!!). This should not be a problem anyway as I am using ImageX to capture the images I need. I am wanting to deploy the SYSTEM images I capture back onto refurbished/repaired machines using Server 2008 R2, Windows Deployment Service and the Deployment Toolkit 2010. Server is configured with WDS, WSUS, DHCP and DNS. I have created a PE disc, booted from this on the reference machine and used ImageX to make copies of the recovery partition and the OS partition. I have then copied these over to the deployment share on the server. No problems so far! Now, when I use MDT to import the images it can see the OS image and imports that fine. It can see the recovery image, but after it imports it, it fails to list it in the operating systems list - it just doesn't list it anywhere. However, if you go into the operating systems folder of the deployment share, where these images are STORED, it does have it in there. Curious? I've used the Task Sequence section to format the hard drive and create TWO partitions. The OS is being installed onto the first partition and has been marked as 'Boot'. I can use the LiteTouchPE file through WDS to deploy just the OS and any updates needed - everything goes through great. But it just won't allow me to add the recovery partition to the deployment. As I can do all of this I can safely say there are no network issues, no admin restrictions issues or server issues. I've used three brand new out-of-the-box Acers to create the images needed in case one was corrupt. I've tried to capture the OS and Recovery partitions separately and then add them as separate images through MDT. I've also tried to append the recovery.wim image to the OS.wim image but then MDT won't see the 'whole' image after it's been imported. I've started to pulling my eyebrow hairs out now as none are left on my head!! Beers on are on me for anyone who solves this!

30.	Solve : Setting up Server 2003 on virtual pc 07.........cannot connect to internet?
Answer» HI all, I'm hoping you can help me with something ive been struggling with. Please bare with me as i am a networking newbie but trying to put together a home network for learning purposes. I have two machines that i will be dealing with but so far the issue i have is just with ONE, for which i installed virtual pc 07 on to of xp. On the virtual machine i want Server 03 so i installed it on the virual machine. I know one of the best practices when installing an OS is to get updates right away so i tried that and my problem is i cannot connect to the internet. Page cannot be displayed error. My LAN connection looks good. I did reinstall from ISO but i didnt THINK that would do it. Would you guide me in the right direction? Like i said im a newbie so this may sound easy to some of u but ive grown frustrated.....please help!!! rhoadsDid you set up LAN on the virtual machine itself? Being as I dont have it installed right now, I cant tell you how to get there. However, its under some sort of configuration. Remember, the virtual machine must be off before you can configure those options. Also, check the device manager and make sure that its detecting the device in the virtual machine. Yes, I do have a LAN connection on the virtual machine. I have the icon in my tray on the bottom of the screen. My configuration looks good.....i think.....with preferred dns pointing to the IP ADDRESS. I believe i tried changing it to the loopback address just to see if that had anything to do with it but no luck. I can ping myself, my gateway(router), an outside ip address such as google. Stumped. rhoads

31.	Solve : Return addresses on Outlook?
Answer» I have yet another problem to tackle . We are running Exchange 2003 on a Windows Server 2003 server with active DIRECTORY. Our USERS run either Windows 2000 or Windows xp using either Outlook 2000 or 2003. I have been ASKED to get mailbox x to forward all incomming mail to mailboxes a, b, c & d. That part I can do at the server end of things. I am to set up things so that when the users reply to the emails, their replies will appear as to have come from mailbox x, where the customers originally sent them to. This is the bit I cannot figure out how to do. Please can anyone help? ThanksI'm not AWARE that any active forum MEMBERS have expertise in Exchange, but I could be wrong.

Windows Home Server's DiskPart utility is version 5.2.3790.3959 and I have seen where version 6.0.6002 has a Uniqueid disk id=A4E19DC0 feature to change the 49AF49AF to A4E19DC0, BUT I do not have Diskpart version 6.0.6002 available. Does anyone know how I can change this with version 5.2.3790.3959 or some other utility. Below is a screen shot of the issue. This is different than the Volume ID which would be xxxx-xxxx in which C: and D: have a Hex Volume ID. [Saving space, attachment deleted by admin]http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb897418.aspxThanks Allan for your SUGGESTION...HOWEVER it appears that it is no longer available as per.... NewSID has been retired and is no longer available for download. Please SEE Mark Russinovich’s blog post: I am guessing that Maybe MS may have been involved in pulling it off the web. Update is that SINCE my last post i was able to use a laptop running Windows 7 Home which has Diskpart version 6.x.xxxx and it has UniqueID command. I then ATTACHED my hard drive as an external and got to it via these commands C:\>diskpart Diskpart> select disk 1 Diskpart> uniqueID disk id=a4e19dc0 Diskpart> detail disk *which displayed that it took the change from 49af49af to a4e19dc0 Diskpart> exit C:\> So i was able to finally get the Unique ID changed. I then booted up MS Home Server and half the problem was gone. That is it believed that the original hard drive was now attached so the majority of the errors were gone, BUT it still had errors in which it appears that the database of MS Home Server was malfunctioning. I then attempted to perform a repair installation to fix this since the Database Repair tool in MS Home Server didnt fix it even after reboot, and after the repair installation I was back to square 1 in which I found out that Windows changes this UID when it installs the GUI on Hard Drives and now the UID was 89c089c0 and all the original problems were back where it sees the 160GB drive and shows the 80GB drive as MISSING. So after wasting 6 hrs on this ripping my hair out I took a break from this madness. I find it rather frustrating that you cant create a recovery backup image of a this server to use in case you actually have to recover it. So I guess the original issue of changing the UID of the HD has been resolved and now I just need to give MS Tech Support a call to see if they have a clue as to how to implement a backup deployment strategy with MS Home Server. I have used Ghost 2003 for every MS OS and this is the only OS Yet to PUKE on Cloning Drives due to a design by MS that causes the Cloned Copy to Fail. Windows 7 was even able to be cloned as well as Server 2003 at my workplace.Yikes! What was your final solution? Any luck with this? Sent you an email as well. Thanks! Conrad

36.	Solve : Windows Deployment Services?
Answer» Hello!Any Help PLease.I new To server. My problem Is I cannot Deploy Windows XP,from server Windows deploy service. I have 2 pc and one server.When i try BOOT from network onboard( network integrated into the motherboard) On clients pc I choose 1boot FROM NETWORK IN BOOT. ERROR: Novell NETWARE Ready Firmware v1.00 (940809) Then the following RPL-ROM-ADR: 0011 5baXX xxxx RPL-ROM-IRQ: 5 RPL-ROM-FFC:count 2 3 4 5 6 Insert Boot media in selected Boot device and press a key(i try to use 2 pc and the same error) NOW, WHEN I INSERT New NETWORK CARD IN PCI SLOT WORK FINE.And i deploy IMAGE to any pc.just pressing f12. My question is: Its possible to deploy image to client pc, witout newtork card.I just want use my network integrated into the motherboard. Or i have to buy for each client pc new network card. ANY RECOMENDATION PLEASE.Thank you. In order to boot from network the NIC has to have a PXE option. If it doesn't then it can't boot from network. So it appears that the built-in NIC doesn't have this option and the one you put in does.

37.	Solve : credentials to join domain?
Answer» HELLO! I new to Server. i have one question. i have 1 server.now a join 2 pc to domain of this server. when ask me for credentials to join domain.I should entered the same name and password when i login to server RIGHT??? So My Question Is SO NOW MY PC USER USE THE SAME LOGIN AND PASSWORD WITH SERVER. IT'S POSSIBLE TO CHANGE OR LEAVE LIKE THAT. every body can access MY SERVER NOW? Thank you. Are you teaching yourself how to use windows server? These are REALLY basic questions that are taught in self study books. When you join a pc to a domain you are asked for credentials. These credentials must be from any "domain administrator". If you are logging in to the pc and the server with the default administrator ACCOUNT with the same password then yes that name can access your server DIRECTLY or remotely. Just change the password for the account in the server.Note: You can't use the local admin account from the server to do domain admin stuff. Make sure you're using an account with domain admin rights.

41.	Solve : Restricted access still domain user able to change shared printer property?
Answer» Hi Within Active Directory environment (win2003 server) I have GOT 11 DOMAINS users. A new network printer Samsung CLX-6210FX installed on the server 2003 and shared On the server right click Samsung Printer > Properties > Security tab for the group “Everyone “ set as below http://i46.tinypic.com/qobogo.jpg Although “ Everyone “ group has been given permission for print only , why would a domain user still be able to change the color as in the snap shot (for a client PC) below http://i48.tinypic.com/2nkkw94.jpg Thanks Seems to me like changing the color printing option is part of printing, which is allowed.What you might find is that the changes users make are one-time only i.e when they go back to the printer properties after changing a setting, it has reverted back to its original value. Alternatively, it is possible that the changes they make only apply to the user that made the change rather then every user of the printer.Late to the party, but here's your answer: "Print" permissions will grant access to "Printing Preferences." "Manage Printers" will grant access to "Printing Defaults." Those options you mentioned are under "Printing Preferences." One season late, but hey, someone might find this useful. If you have access to it, the Microsoft 70-270 book goes into Printing permissions quite deeply. But as others have said, this looks like a NORMAL function of "printing". The manage printers permission lets you customise printer settings, like ports and things. The manage documents permission lets you pause or delete files in the print queue. I don't think any of the print level permissions will give you the control you're after. It might be possible that there is an add-in PACK for GPO that you might be able to use.

Quote from: scriptsean on May 26, 2010, 12:37:15 PM Hello Guru, Is it possible to do this in batch or vbs on win2003: When users execute the file, it will show a flashing welcome banner until users press any key, it then will go to the menu Below is my sample code, but i got stock hope someone helps me echo off :BANNER cls color c echo Welcome! sleep 1 cls color e echo Welcome! sleep 1 goto :BANNER :MENU something..... Sleep doesn't work in batch. Anyway, why do you want to do this? What purpose will it serve? You might be able to do it using the "ping sleep work-around", but again, I don't really understand why you'd want to do this... An explaination of the "ping sleep work-around": Useing the ping command in the following way can effectively mimic the desired output of a "sleep" command ping 1.1.1.1 -n 1 -w 1000 NOTES: 1.1.1.1 MUST BE AN INVALID IP ON YOUR NETWORK The number following "-w" is the number of milliseconds to "wait", therefore 1000 = 1 second, 5000 = 5 seconds. The "pinging 1.1.1.1 with ..." dialog STILL displaysping 1.1.1.1 -n 1 -w 1000 > nul will not display the "pinging 1.1.1.1 with..." part.

48.	Solve : Exchange 2003 Global Address List problem?
Answer» We have one Windows 2003 domain, one Exchange 2003 server, and one Exchange organization. This is our first and only Exchange server and it is a separate computer from the Domain Controller. We have one user account here whose name does not appear in the Outlook address book while the book is accessing the Global Address List. The name does not appear while USING Outlook Web ACCESS either. The name does appear, however, on the Exchange Server when previewing the Global Address List. The user account is an old one and is not configured to hide its address. It has not appeared in the GAL since we started using Exchange about 1 1/2 years ago. All other ACCOUNTS, older and newer than the problem one, do appear. I have had the Recipient Update Service update and even rebuild, but this has not HELPED. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!check the all users list you should fine the e-mail address there update your server pack and it should resolve this problemThat is weird that only 1 email has this problem and that updating Recipients doesn't make it show. The only thing I could think of is to DELETE the mailbox for this user and recreate it. The Topic is 5 years old and he's no longer a Member... NOTE: When you see a poster's name in black they have closed their account.
