Solve : Active Directory on Windows Server 2003?

Answer» <html><body><p>If I am adding a server to a domain, do I need to load Active Directory onto that server for it to be accessible from another domain? The only other server in the same domain is accessible from the other domain but this one isn'tWhat exactly do you mean by "accessable"?  What are we trying to accomplish?  How exactly is your network set up?Basically we have two domains (A &amp; B). There is one server connected to domain B which is accessible by clients on domain A. However, the new server, if joined to domain B can be seen by clients on Domain A but when anyone tries to access it (i.e. open it up) they get a message saying "There are currently no logon servers available to service the logon request.". Anyone logged on to domain B can happily look at the servers contents. If I join the server to domain A then anyone logged into domain A can happily open up the server without any bother.<br/><br/>I was thinking that it may be a trust problem, but all the help stuff on trusts indicates that trust is between domains. The existsing server on domain B (an exchange server) is not experiencing any problems like this. So, I don't think it is a trust problem.<br/><br/>My question about Active directory is to see if this would solve the problem. But, I don't want to make this server a domain controller if I can help it.<br/><br/>ThanksThere are currently no logon servers available to service the logon request<br/><br/>What you have is a user in domain A trying to connect to a share in domain B. What is happening is the user in domain A tries to connect and domain B asks who are you and your machine says I am DOMAIN-A\user. Domina B <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/returns-1187977" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about RETURNS">RETURNS</a> nope I have no user called DOMAIN-A\user. Than it looks around and can't find any logon servers in Domain B so you get an error. There are currently no logon servers available to service the logon request<br/><br/>This has nothing to do with the machine being a DC or not. <br/><br/>If both machines are in the same forest or enterprise you can create a global group which can work across domains. Than put your user into the global group.<br/><br/>You can also try to login to the machine and make a account named the same as the user in the other domain. And than give the new account permission to the folder.<br/><br/>So you have a account called Bob in Domain B you need to create a <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/used-763273" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about USED">USED</a> called Bob on the machine in Domain A Make sure that the passwords are the same and that you have logged into the machine once to create a <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/profile-25809" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about PROFILE">PROFILE</a>. <br/><br/>Good luck....<br/><br/><a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/thanks-665909" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about THANKS">THANKS</a>. This sounds great! I've been told to leave the server connected to domain A for now. In a short while, however, I'll be building another one which will definitely need to be in domain B. So, I'll need this solution then.<br/><br/>Once again, thanks loads.Glad we could help....<br/><br/>Come <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/back-389278" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about BACK">BACK</a> any time!<br/></p></body></html>

There are potential problems with hardware drivers not loading because there aren’t enough resources available to kernel mode. You can limit this impact by disabling unused hardware (i.e. disable USB, Firewire, Serial Ports, etc in the BIOS and remove sound cards and other hardware that isn’t needed) and by limiting the functionality of other hardware (i.e. don’t use high resolutions and high color depth for video when you don’t need it). Server 2003 exhibits particularly degraded performance if the kernel is starved of resurces, I have read.<br/><br/><br/><a href="https://blogs.msdn.com/oldnewthing/archive/2004/08/05/208908.aspx">http://blogs.msdn.com/oldnewthing/archive/2004/08/05/208908.aspx</a><br/>  Quote from: Calum on September 08, 2008, 07:06:16 AM<blockquote>k_mohsen, what are you using that needs more than 4GB of RAM anyway?<br/></blockquote> <br/>i don't need this , my pc have 1 GB . <br/>but i want to know this. i see this before in some <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/article-238516" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about ARTICLE">ARTICLE</a> and never think about it , that why only 4GB for 32bit os .<br/><br/>thanks to allOK, thanks Dias, was just curious - I thought you meant enabling PAE was a bad idea, which surprised me as I always run with it enabled..  I agree however, the /3GB switch doesn't usually help anyway, and I have heard of it causing some problems.  I didn't realise it could cause issues as serious as those you describe though.<br/>Thanks for the clarification, you learn something new every day I guess.</body></html>

Both PC's are identical and the other one works fine. I don't know that I can help but your posts bring up some questions, some points that seem to need clarification.<br/><br/> Quote</p><blockquote>I set up outlook for a domain account ...</blockquote> Do you mean set up an email account?  Exactly what do you mean by "domain account"?<br/><br/> Quote<blockquote>... the Sync Issues folder</blockquote> And, where is that folder?  <br/><br/> Quote<blockquote>Our company does not use the offline address book facility</blockquote> Are you saying your address book is online, i.e. out on the Internet?  Are you using Outlook in connection with an Exchange server?<br/><br/> Quote<blockquote>I tried unchecking the "Download offline address book" box on the "Send/Receive  Settings - All Accounts" page</blockquote> Exactly where is that?I set up an account on an XP machine. The account was a domain account (i.e. it was not a local user account).<br/><br/>When I tried to do a send/receive, I got the following synchronization log:<br/><br/>16:40:56 Synchronizer Version 11.0.5604<br/>16:40:56 Synchronizing Mailbox 'Fred Bloggs'<br/>16:40:56 Done<br/>16:40:56 Microsoft Exchange offline address book<br/>16:40:56    0X8004010F<br/><br/><br/>In outlook 2003 select "go/folder list" to find the "Sync Issues" folder.<br/><br/>We connect to an Exchange Server. The Address book, I assume, resides there. I am told that we do not use offline address books.<br/><br/>To get to the "Download offline address book" check box go to "Tools/send/receive/send/receive settings/Define send/receive Groups" then highlight "All Accounts" and click "Edit". The checkbox is under "Account Items".<br/><br/>If I uncheck it, outlook still seems to want to synchronise the address book. I don't need this. In fact, it's a total pain in the neck to not be able to switch it off.<br/><br/>I have tried to remove all of Microsoft Office and to re load it. This does not seem to make any difference.<br/><br/>Has anyone any idea how to switch the synchronization of the offline address book off?<br/><br/>Thanks <br/>I haven't used Outlook in an Exchange server environment, so I can't give you an actual solution.  Stay tuned to this channel for awhile; someone else may have a suggestion.<br/><br/>If you're willing to so some research, here's the results of a Google search:<br/><br/><a href="https://www.google.com/search?hl=en&amp;q=disable+address+book+synchronization+in+Outlook+2003&amp;aq=f&amp;oq=">http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&amp;q=disable+address+book+synchronization+in+Outlook+2003&amp;aq=f&amp;oq=</a></body></html>

Solve : For those of you with negative feelings about Vista.....?

Answer» <html><body><a href="http://www.mojaveexperiment.com">www.mojaveexperiment.com</a><br/><br/>I hear too many people complaining about vista before they try it.... so TRY before you decide you dont like something.  I know this is directly through windows, but hey, Im sure the reactions are real.  Quote from: iamtonsoffun247 on August 26, 2008, 09:58:46 PM<blockquote><a href="http://www.mojaveexperiment.com">www.mojaveexperiment.com</a><br/><br/></blockquote> That link displays a page for me that says, "This website has been updated to run on the very latest version of the Microsoft® Silverlight™ (Beta 2) plug-in. Please re-install."<br/><br/>I already have Silverlight installed; I'm not going to install that Beta 2 version.  Why did you post that link?  How does it relate to your topic here? <br/>o really? my bad it was workin today for me.  It basically shows people who have never used vista, but say how much they "hate it".  Then they are introduced to "mojave", which is a fake name for vista, to see what people thought of it.  They end up lovin it, and are surprised it is Vista.  Its better if watched, but that sucks that you cant watch it w/o DLing the beta.  O wait you can watch it w/o the beta, just click the "here" link and watch it that way.  Its pretty funny  I really like my Vista... well that was until a week ago until it started to get a bit of an attitude  <br/><br/>But seriously I really like it.   I would definately go that way again with my computer.<br/><br/>Twylla That link doesnt look too say. Sort of sounds like a trap.I don't like Vista. I have tried it, I have persisted in trying to make it my primary OS, but I just... don't like it. At all.<br/><br/>Graphically it <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/looks-1079190" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about LOOKS">LOOKS</a> amazing, but apart from that I just prefer XP. <br/><br/>Most people who dont want Vista havent actually tried it. <br/><br/>Actually, and I can not stress this point enough, most people who complain about Vista now also complained about XP when it was first released. I didnt like XP for a long time. <br/><br/>I use Vista on my laptop, and have seldom had problems that I would not have in XP with it. <br/>Heck, Vista repaired itself one day after an improper shutdown, that was interesting. Quote from: Zylstra on August 27, 2008, 02:04:30 AM<blockquote>Most people who dont want Vista havent actually tried it. <br/><br/>Actually, and I can not stress this point enough, most people who complain about Vista now also complained about XP when it was first released.

Thats what people are complaining about. Its not compatible with hundreds of programs and appilcations. I dont think that in 3years people will be forthright with vista as with xp.<br/><br/>Its just a totally different os.Same with 98 compared to XP? Or even 2000 for that matter. <br/><br/>I am what you might call a professional computer user. I have found very few applications that didnt work with Vista. QBASIC programs still work with Vista, which, to me, thats all the support any program needs right there. <br/><br/>Usually when a program wont work beyond a certain OS, its because the programmer built it for a specific operating system, not other operating systems. <br/><br/>Believe it or not, Vista is actually a faster OS. The new architecture introduced in Vista is far superior to XP, and the data caching technologies (via Memory, not the hard drive, which explains why many systems are suspended at 50% RAM) increase the speed even more. Yes thats true, but you cant beat XP's reliability if your a professional user. Don't get me wrong i was the one who bought the first copy of vista sold practically. I enjoy using it for its interface qualitys.Oh.....The Mojave Experiment........<br/><br/>Personally, I don't care for the fancy graphics. In fact, I prefer the old Windows Classic theme than anything else.<br/>Much faster and clearer (for me)If i may express my opinion; I don't believe this is a question of..' you're <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/either-967193" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about EITHER">EITHER</a> with us or against us'.<br/><br/>at the moment i've got three working laptops:<br/><br/>The on i'm on at the moment has vista, great for casual use - easy on the eyes - plays most <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/games-1003340" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about GAMES">GAMES</a> i can think of - the usual good points, plus it's never died more that i can handle so i've not really had any bad experiences with it.<br/><br/>One laptop has XP, that's also not died more than i couldn't handle - but i use it for more practical things finances, spreadsheets, databases. to me it just feels more like a work computer than a home PC like vista does.<br/><br/>and the third one has Mandriva Linux - For a couple of reasons, not least for the specs:<br/>1.2Ghz single core CPU<br/>No HDD<br/>512 RAM<br/>no mouse<br/>and more than it's fair share of knocks, bumps, drops etc.<br/><br/>If you could get vista, or any other windows OS, to run on that i'd eat my own face. But i use this one for programming, mainly C++. To me it just feels more like a programmers OS.<br/><br/>FBThe Mohave Experiment seems a little silly.  It's only capturing people's initial reaction to a very limited exposure to Vista.  Also, I viewed some of the clips and none of the subjects seemed to be what I'd call expert Windows users.  <br/><br/> Quote from: kizza1645 on August 27, 2008, 02:19:40 AM<blockquote>Touche, but the difference is vista in impractical for professional users.  </blockquote> Hmm, you mean to say that, with <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/five-991229" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about FIVE">FIVE</a> versions to choose from, none of them are practical for "professional users"?  That seems like nonsense.<br/><br/> Quote from: kizza1645 on August 27, 2008, 02:19:40 AM<blockquote> Thats what people are complaining about.

Solve : Reversing the "expand" command in XP??

Answer» <html><body><p>Using the "expand" command, I know how to expand a file in XP, like changing a file with extension ".xm_" to ".xml". Can this be reversed, like changing a file with extension ".xml" back to ".xm_"?<br/><br/>This would be useful to me to be able to take for example a file with extension ".xm_", expand it (to ".xml"), edit it, and then put it back into the package as the original ".xm_".<br/><br/>Can this be done?well if you want to change the extensions of the file then do this.....<br/>control panel-&gt;-&gt;folder options-&gt;-&gt;view-&gt;-&gt;unmark the hide extensions from known file types........No, it's not as simple as that. Changing the extension from ".xml" to ".xm_" involves compressing it. Simply changing the extension isn't going to do that.Expand.exe expands compressed files into their normal state and <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/size-246425" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about SIZE">SIZE</a>. To do the reverse, you use a program called, not surprisingly, compress.exe. It only works on NTFS volumes.<br/><br/>If it is not already on your system, you can get it as part of the <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/windows-22662" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about WINDOWS">WINDOWS</a> Server 2003 Resource Kit, available free from Microsoft<br/><br/><a href="https://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=9d467a69-57ff-4ae7-96ee-b18c4790cffd&amp;displaylang=en">http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=9d467a69-57ff-4ae7-96ee-b18c4790cffd&amp;displaylang=en</a><br/><br/>Thank you so much, that worked perfectly.<br/><br/>I had got some info on another forum to use another program in XP called "makecab.exe". It works similar to "Compress.exe" using the command prompt. Problem with "Makecab" was that it compressed the file to about 1/5th the size of what "Compress.exe" does. I guess that's not <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/necessarily-7276297" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about NECESSARILY">NECESSARILY</a> a problem on it's own but it was for what I wanted to use it for.<br/><br/>An example of what I'm referring to. I could take a ".xm_" file in the Nvidia drivers folder, using the expand command in XP expand it to ".xml". Now if I then used "makecab" to repack it, the resulting ".xm_" file was 1/5th  the size of the original ".xm_". Doing that exact same thing using "Compress", the resulting ".xm_" was the same size as the original. <br/><br/>What I'm using this for is that the Nvidia drivers install a gazillion profiles that I don't want to see or have to scroll through to get to the ones I want. Nvidia doesn't provide a <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/way-246442" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about WAY">WAY</a> to get rid of the profiles it puts there in the Control Panel except to edit the "Nvapps.xml" file (where all the profiles are stored). I usually installed the drivers, then go into the "system32 folder" to find the "nvapps.xml" file to edit out the profiles I didn't want to see in the Nvidia Control Panel. I figured I would try to do this before I installed the drivers instead of after. The only way to do that was to take the "nvapps.xm_" file out of the Nvidia drivers folder (all the files in there are compressed to .xx_), expanding it to "nvapps.xml", editing it, then repacking it back to "nvapps.xm_" and putting it back into the drivers folder to install from there. (whew, that was a mouthful).<br/><br/>Problem was that trying this with makecab didn't work. Whatever method Nvidia uses to extract those driver files during the install, that one file (that was repacked differently than how it was <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/originally-587784" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about ORIGINALLY">ORIGINALLY</a> packed) caused the installed file to be unreadable and the wrong size. It's like during the install process it got confused in unpacking that one file.<br/><br/>Doing this same thing using "compress" did the trick. It installs fine, is readable and the right size.well mike sorry for the wrong post ............<br/>didn't know abt..........<br/><br/></p></body></html>

If you use Server for DNS with a Domain Controller, set up a forwarder to the DNS addresses of your WAN (internet connection). If you set up your modem connected to any computer directly with the network card set to <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/dynamic-11476" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about DYNAMIC">DYNAMIC</a> connection settings, you should be able to see the dns by oppening the connection and getting the Details. Then just plug modem into network card A on server or into router with static LAN address, set up DHCP on server and plug card B on server into network switch; make DHCP server call router or CARD A the router\gateway (using the Ip Address you get from Details), and link the dns name with forwarders as your domain name for DHCP. Then point the DNS server to Card B interface. This will have server DNS forward the lookups from the internet, and link your computers to your server with the suffix of your Domain name, while your Card A or router is set as the Gateway.<br/>If you have Static IP settings, you should have the IP Address of the gateway (Static ip address on internet, not default Gateway of your WAN), and you should also have your dns lookups. Use them similarly, but set your card a or router to have those settings first.<br/>Capiche? Further,<br/>If you don't know how to set up a forwarder in your DNS, see this link<br/><a href="http://www.petri.co.il/install_and_configure_windows_2003_dns_server.htm">http://www.petri.co.il/install_and_configure_windows_2003_dns_server.htm</a> and try to follow along.

But when wanting to weigh it down and get measured and recordable results to create baselines and then make changes and then run benchmark all over again to test after hardware or software changes I use passmark which works free for like 30 days, just enough time to fine tune a server or system before rolling it out. <a href="https://www.passmark.com/products/pt.htm">http://www.passmark.com/products/pt.htm</a> Another thing I do on the server side of testing is for servers that operate custom databases etc, I run it through its paces by creating virtual systems on some work stations and then run automated routines in those virtual environments to simulate users. I wrote my automation routines using a very simple to use keyboard/mouse macro recorder called Jitbit Macro Recorder that you can compile your macros as exe's and then copy them to each of your virtual machines and have them run in a looped <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/mode-239384" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about MODE">MODE</a> <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/accessing-846855" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about ACCESSING">ACCESSING</a>, entering, looking up information, etc over and over again for as long as you want. You can increase the load on the server by increasing the number of virtual machines that are concurrently interacting with the server to see if you can bring it to its knees and at what point does it give up the fight to multitask for all the requests. Found many issues this way through burn in testing with servers running SQL and mySQL databases.

Check group membership in AD.All the systems are under normal domain user group, no local or no domain admin accounts are there.How are the shared folders set up? Guest access allowed?My point is system is accessible whether shared folder is there or not. It should not be accessible by other system.When you browse to another computer, what shares do you see listed? None? Or some?All machines are showing.Yes, but when you browse to the machine, what SHARES are showing?Where I share data it shows and able to access the data, where I don't share there also its able to access the system but not the data.In that case, it's working as intended. You can't simultaneously hide the presence of the devices on the network AND make them available for password-based access. By "able to access the system" I presume you mean that you can "see" the computer, but not actually do anything else with it.I want this password-based access only.
