I'm a student and managed to get copy of Server Standard from my university for free (through the MSDNAA). I had been running server running fedora 12 but I thought it would be good to become familiar with windows server as well.

I am running a 2008 Server as a DC with DNS and manually set the IP address on LAN #1 to 192.168.1.150. After rebooting the server, the network connection is showing connected but when I click on the Details button, it shows a 169 IP address and the Default Gateway is now blank. I am able to use the LAN #2 temporarily. Anyone having the same problem?

Hi every one. I've installed SQL server 2008 and ran an ASP.net Application (I have wrote the application) on IIS 6. For debugging the program also I have installed Visual studio 2010. While running the application on visual studio I have no problem to access my database on my SQL server but on the IIS my website can not access the data base. I have checked my Connection string and every thing which link my site to the data base server. Nothing is wrong with them. I checked my problem in another forum because I thought my problem is with my windows 2008 server but it was not so This is a link to my topics: Windows server 2008 forum The error I get in google chrom…

Thanks for taking a look! I would appreciate any help you can provide with this problem: We're experiencing the following issue in a small office environment: several times an hour, workstations will lose connectivity to at least the mail server, causing an error message in Outlook (connection to the Exchange server lost) and causing Internet and intranet connectivity to timeout. Sometimes the connection is restored in a matter of seconds, and sometimes it's down for 10-15 minutes. The network connection on the workstation does not show any connectivity problems during this time, but you can't access Internet or intranet pages most of the time. The workstations do not al…

Please note this is my first post on this website. I want to set up my 2008 server to share the internet on a small LAN that consists of 5 Mac's and 2 PC's. I have internet access on the server now, that connection comes from a Netgear router which is used for internet access by about 20 people, about half of those are wireless. Anyway, I have become the default IT guy here at this medium sized printing company, I work here as the Prepress Manager. I have done pretty well so far at figuring this kind of stuff out but I fear this task may be a little out of reach for me. I found this website in a search for help on this issue. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Hi All, I'm looking to change the way or website is handled. Right now, it is running on 2 machines (Dell 2850 Xeon DC, 8Go Ram 6x36Go 15k HDD (2x Raid1 4x Raid 10). 1 machine is running Win2008R2 IIS7.5, php, AV and a FTP server, the other machine is running on Win2008R2, AV (Forefront) and MySQL 5.5. A third one (Dell 1950) is in standby in case of a failure. I also have a small DNS-323 for backups. Everything goes through a Cisco 1541 router. I'm looking to have a more secure and reliable setup and to include an Exchange server on top of this setup. I was thinking of having a load-balancing setup with 4 Dell 2950 QC with 8Go ram. I just don't know if it's viable …

I'm very new with Windows server so if anyone can recommend articles to read that cover my questions, I'd appreciate it. I'm looking for a bit of a step by step "how to" on adding my new 2008R2 server to my 2003 domain then then making the 2008R2 machine the master and decomissioning the 2003 server. Thanks in advance! FYI So far I have installed 2008R2 on the new server and haven't done anything else. It's not joined to the 2003 domain and I have not added any server roles to the 2008R2 machine. (Currently my 2003 server had AD, DHCP, and DNS duties.)

Hello Guys, Please I have a major problem and I need everybody's help. I have a server 2008 Enterprise Domain (DC), it issues out DHCP Addresses to my local users. for my firewall, I have ISA server 2006 (Proxy Server). now, my problem is i need to only allow domain users access to my network. All non-Domain users should not be allowed access on my LAN (Not even IP Address should be assigned to them). This should be an automatic process, where the users should not be prompted for a login credential unless they are non-domain users. Management isn't giving me a new system, I must work with what i have. Please, can anyone help me out here? I have asked around, people sa…

Hi, I am running a Windows Server 2008 R2 server with Terminal Services. I would like to make our accounting software available to a client of ours, but I would like to restrict access to the server for this client so that they can only see the Accounting Software. They should not have access to folders and data other than what the accounting software is using. Is there a way of locking the server down for a group of users and only giving them access to one application? Any pointer in the right direction will be much appreciated. Thanks! Jacques

In Windows 2008, it causes frequent crash of windows resulting in blue screen. On debugging the crash dump file, it shows VISTA_DRIVER_FAULT and points to a process that belongs to our application. On collecting crash dump two times, it showed two different processes that belong to our application. From the stack trace, I am unable to get much information other than some kernel related symbols. How do I proceed to check what is the cause of the problem from the crash dump? The following is the output of the stack trace. The process NodeScann in the trace belongs to our application. How do I use the dump to find out exact cause of the dump. I tried loading all the pd…

Good Afternoon, I recently installed Windows Server 2008 R2 with AD DS and DNS - since I installed these roles however the internet is really laggy for me - downloads time out, websites time out very very frequently, and when I did ping tests, even those would randomly time out. I'm not sure why or where the hang up is but it makes it very difficult to navigate or get anything done so I'd like to find a resolution to this as soon as possible. I'm fairly new to Windows Server 2008 so I'm not sure what information is needed so let me know whats needed to help troubleshoot this and I'll provide it within minutes. Thanks and I hope to find a resolution soon - I'll br…

The most temporary a link can be is a paid placement on a search engine. When you sign up with Microsoft, Yahoo, or Google to pay for an advertisement spot for a given keyword, you are not buying a link; you are buying a paid listing in the search results that is not guaranteed to even show up. Search engines do not index these links, and they are completely ignored when they are determining how much of an authority your site is. This is a common misconception among newbies, and you should be glad that you won't be wasting any money on your SEO efforts purchasing paid placements on the big search engines. Moving away from search engines, however, most websites allow yo…
