Hi there, I don't have a lot of experience with this problem with 2008. I have solved this problem with 2003 server lots of times. A small companies computer service company abandoned them and is uncontactable. Here's the situation. 1. They do not have the administrator password for their windows 2008 small business server. 2. We now do have access to an administrator account. 3. The server requires re-configuration as the GPO and SECURITY templates are non existent/wide open. 1. Is there a solution to reset the password ? 2. Should I call Microsoft ? 3. Should I call Dell ? (it's a dell Server) Utilities tried NT Password (Does not effect Active Director…

Hey guys, I am new to this forum, so hey everyone. :) I have just setup a Windows Server box, setup RRAS, DNS, and DHCP, which is all working fine. But it seems to be running slow, for the first few seconds to any service. Running a tracert to google produces this: Tracing route to google.com [66.102.11.104] over a maximum of 30 hops: 1

Now I have a problem too! I have setup a local laserprinter witch can be used when i am logged in with RDP on Server 2008. This works fine ( so no problem ) Now i try to do the same with a HP 8500 Pro wireless printer in my home network. But now something strange happens, it prints out one line and the rest is blank. I've tried to change the spooler so the entire document is first placed in the spooler before printing, but this didn't help. Does enyone have an idea how to solve this problem? :geek:

Hello. I have a problem with the remote printers. I have a domain with about 60 workers with XP Pro SP2. Recently i've installed a new server with Windows Server 2008 R2 and they can't "import" their local installed printers to the remote session. The printer drivers have already been installed in Windows Server 2008 R2. Can anyone give me a hint to solve this? Thank you!

Hi I have installed Windows 2008 Enterprise 64 bit. The installation is a standard installation with no other additional software. I shared a folder C:\Shared. When I access the folder from a windows XP machine I have no problems. I can copy or write files to the shared folder from Windows XP. So far so good. There is a shared application called Scala accounting system we use. This application exe and dlls are stored on the server C:\Shared\Scala folder. A shortcut is created for C:\Shared\Scala\SFW.exe on the Windows XP machine desktop location. When I open the shortcut from the windows XP desktop it takes too long for the application to load (almost 5 mins). Bu…

Hi, We have a client having trouble with their network, now and then the workstations can not talk with the server anymore (can not access files on the shared folders etc, email doesn't work, can not browse internet etc) untill they restart the server and everything is working fine again. We have determined the problem is the following event: Event ID 8003 The master browser has received a server announcement from the computer "computer name" that believes that it is the master browser for the domain on transport NetBT_Tcpip_{70CEAA76-DAE3-443A-B45A-625D742F27BB}. The master browser is stopping or an election is being forced. We have performed all the solutio…

This has been driving me nuts - and I've searched everywhere for a solution with no luck ... A few weeks ago, we installed a new Server 2008 R2 box setup for DHCP, DNS and AD. At random intervals throughout the day, users will be unable to resolve domains that they were just on a few minutes prior. They get the "Diagnose Connection" screen in IE8. Everyone on the network is setup to get DHCP from the server and their primary (and only) DNS IP is that of the server as well. When the problems with domain resolution occur and I do an NSLOOKUP from the client, I get the error message "DNS Query Time Out. Time Out Was 2 Seconds". I checked the server and I currently have…

Hello everyone. My name is Jonathan and I have a problem that doesn't want to be solved. I have two W2k8 R2 servers with a Primary and secundairy domain on them. The DNS work great and nothing more is on the server. After a couple of days the two servers were on hibernate or sleep mode. To disable hibernate I used the following command: "powercfg.exe /hibernate off" only it didn't solved my problem. Knowing that it probally is sleep mode that's causing this problem isn't helping me much. Google gave me some good results but none of those results helped me and power managment was already set on high performance by me. It happends after 40 min. roughly. So my q…

This is probably going to be something simple, however I can't figure it out. I have a 2008 DC running on one virtual machine and a Forefront server running on another. The DC has DNS installed (of course) and that all works fine. Now this is where I'm running into a problem; I have DNS also installed on the FF server to resolve DNS from the internet. The DC is set as the primary DNS server, with no fowarders listed, and the FF is set as the secondary DNS server which does have the fowarders to my ISPs DNS servers. This setup is working, mostly. It resolves but far more slowly than it should. My friend tells me that I shouldn't need a DNS server on the FF server, bu…

Hi, I hope this is the right place in the forum for my problem. I have a Small Business Server 2008 with Terminal Services and Outlook 2003. The users log on the Server with RDP. They added some calendars from other users in Outlook. The problem is that Outlook does not save the check marks so they have to click on the marks every time they start outlook. But they do not have to add the calendars again. Thanks in advance. pYro.O

Do I have a weird one for you guys! We have a 2008 terminal server where we remap C to N and then use a subst command via a login script to map the users personal folder to c: Basically due to some bespoke software that requires user-specific data on a C: drive. This is something we've never had an issue with in 2003/2000 but with 2008 something weird is happening. Intermittently it works beautifully, it's visible in explorer, the right folder, everything and then there are times when c: doesn't appear in explorer. Any yet... subst thinks its substituted and the apps that rely on the c drive data are working fine. It just appears not to be visible This h…

Hello, Because of hardware change our Windows 2008 Std license was de-activated. We proceeded to re-activate it via online without problems and now all is fine except a water mark located in desktop (right down) indicating "not genuine Windows". Do you think next time we restart server that water mark will disappear or is necesary to do something else? Thank you in advance for your attention. Best regards.

Hi, Thanks in advance for your help. We've got a Server 2008 R2 of approximately 500 computers. Within that last couple of days, we've had several computers get randomly "kicked off" the domain. When a user attempts to log in, in gives an error that the domain controller cannot be found or that there is no account for that computer. However, when I go into active directory, the computer's account is still there. The fix is to log in locally to that machine, goto network identification and retype the domain name. After a restart the computer is again able to log onto the domain. The fix is easy enough but every day brings another batch of machines that can't …
