Hi, Recently I installed a couple servers in Windows 2008 R2 (no sweat). I also established disk mirroring in both servers (no sweat either). But I began to think about what to do i case of disaster, so I build a test server to simulate disk failures. I found that if disk 1 fails it is very easy to recover (just install a new disk 1 and re-establish the mirror). BUT if this disk 0 is the one that fails it's another story. I have tried different ideas, searched TechNet, searched Internet and I did not find a solution to this theoretical but possible problem. Can anyone give me an step-by-step solution to this problem? Regards, CNGarcia

Hope this is in the proper place. I have been looking for an answer before I just throw in the towel and format. After a smart drive fail. (I believe cache) I cloned my drive (avg. 2GB a hour) and was able to boot once. After that things went down hill. 2008 Enterprise Server 64bit BIOS set first boot device CD, second HDD system boots up to the press any key to boot from cd.... if I let it sit, after the count down it pops up press any key to boot from cd... again and again until I ctrl-alt-delete. press any key to boot from cd / dvd press any key to boot from cd / dvd press any key to boot from cd / dvd press any key to boot from cd / dvd press any key t…

Here's the setup, I have a small lab that connects to the server on the other side of the building, yesterday out of the blue 2 of the machines cannot login to the server using the default login of "Student." When prompted for credentials and they are entered I receive the following message "the trust relationship between this workstation and the primary domain failed" Now, with my limited knowledge I figured that if i login to the machine locally and unjoin and rejoin it to the domain this might solve the issue. Except one problem, in windows 7 you can't get to that screen without entering the Admin credentials. (which i have) After entering the credentials I still re…

Hi, Not sure if this is the right place for this, apologies if so. We have recently upgraded to a SBS2008 set up from a SBS2003 environment. everything has gone well apart from we have some ageing windows 98 clients (that cannot be upgraded or replaced - long story) and I need to be able to map a network drive. In the 2003 environment we had to allow anonymous access to this share and (risky i know) enable the guest account, but it worked. I've done the same here but when I try and map the drive using a script I get Error 55: The specified resource is not available. The computer that shared the resource might have been turned off, or the permissions might h…

Hi, I am getting BT busness internet put in tommorow - with 5 static external ip addresses. I cant seem to find anything about how to use this within a domain though (server 2008) do i have to make all of my servers and clients one of these ip addresses? I will go way over 5 if i do have to. I do have another router (that i can connect to their bt hub i assume) - i only have 1 NIC in each machine. if i somehow manange to make that work - i need some of the servers to be accessable from the internet (like exchange server etc) - anyway im sure that will come after getting the actual ip addresses working. Hope someone can help me or im really stuff…

Dear all, I have a question regarding giving domain users access to drive D, they dont have any write permissions on the drive even though i havnt set any policies regarding accessing drives. Is there any default policy I should know of ? Thanks

Hi, I would like to restrict write permissions on certain file types to the normal users. Only the Administrator should have the write permissions on certain types of files. For example, restrict write permissions to users for the type of files say, chm, swf, vbs, inf etc. Is there any way in which I can do that other than going to each file and changing the permissions? Is there any way to do this using group policy? I appreciate if any one can help me with this or atleast give me a hint in which way i should look further. Thanks and regards, Tom

Hi there, Here is what I want to accomplish. I have a folder structure set up for students and teachers. In the folder I have folders for Assignments (teacher can r/w/e etc and students just view) DropBox, where students can drop a file into the folder but can't open the folder, but what I need now is a folder where the teacher can handback assignments. I have created the handback folder, and gave the students full rights to the handback folder, where they can then create their own folder. They are able to create the folder and put files in the folder, and read the files, as well as delete the files. Other students are not able to open any of the files in the other use…

First let me say hello to all as I am a new member here. I look forward to learning all that I can from the knowledgeable people in this community. Now to my issue, I am a new administrator at a school where there is a server and I don't really have that much server experience but I'm trying to learn as I go. The server and all that good stuff was already setup when I came in to take over so, that part is already done. What I am having trouble with is that teachers each have a folder on a shared drive on the network that the students save work to. Now here is where things get difficult for me. The teachers want students to be able to save and read the files but not to …

Hi i will try to explain my current setup to help with the question At the moment all servers are 2003 version, i.e. AD server, Exchange server, File server, Terminal Server, ISA Etc. over the last few weeks i have upgraded the users to windows 7. windows 7 creates a new profile for the users (a .v2 version). the terminal being 2003 is based upon the same idea as xp is only looking at the users old profiles and is unable to see the new profile. my problem to solve this issue in thinking of upgrading the terminal server to server 2008 as this can work with the new profile type, i think. my question is will the new 2008 server set up as a terminal server sit nic…

Hey I am in here in hopes someone can help us with a 'wierd' issue we are having, and I think I have narrowed it down to something with the user on our 2008 server. Thanks for your help in advance and I will try to explain the issue in detail: A user who is logging onto our server is experiencing display issues when browsing the internet. 1) We have used IE, Firefox and Chrome to verify its not a browser issue, and even in those instance reset and checked all security and addons. 2) We have logged the user onto the server from 4 different office computers. And yet still we have the same result. Making me believe this could be a user logon setting or server block…

Hi All, I am about to embark on a project to test Virtual applications in our environment. We have just put an order in for a spangly new HP DL380 Server with 2Tb of storage running 2008 R2 with 5 TS CALS. When I recieve the server I would like, as most techie's do, to set it up the instant it arrives - now I would really like to know the best way of doing this, so hopefully this is where you guys come in. The idea is to virtualise all in house apps develped in delphi, and all Office Apps used in house (to start with anyway!) We will have 5 test PC's varying between Windows XP and Windows 7, although the aim ultimately is to W7 all of our PC's Can you give …
