I'm trying to clone a working Server 2003 with new hardware and upgrading to Server 2008 64bit. The existing server is a single Primary Domain Controller with two NIC cards -- one connected to the internet and the other connected to a small internal network. It uses RRAS to allow VPN access to the internal network, and provide an internet proxy for any machines on the internal network. I've installed Server 2008 standard with all latest service packs on the new machine and it basically runs. It has DNS ,DHCP and RRAS running. As a VPN server, it allows connection to file shares and the internal network. If I run from the attached keyboard, I can get access to bot…

Hello, we try to set up a Win2008 R2 server. Only one physical machine. But we are unable to start the licenceserver and the terminalserver (RDS) on this machine. It seems that each server has to be on a extra (virtual) machine, but we do not want this. Is this a R2 bug or a feature?

Hey my name is Joseph Sparks and I am a network adminsitrator for an advertising company. I would be glad to help out where ever I can and also have some questions that I would like to get some input on.

I have 6 NIC's and have read alot of documentation, with all of them saying something differant. I have two NIC's dedicated to the LAN traffic but it will only let me configure one. IT tells me that they have to have the same default gateway, in which they do both are on the same network with the same gateway. I also have two connections to my SAN and 1 for the heartbeat. Now they say that I need one for the cluster but not sure what I would need that one for if I all ready have one for the LAN Traffic, the SAN, and the heartbeat? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

a Savin 7570 printer with scanner worked well with Win2K. with Win2008, printer works fine; BUT attempts to get scanner feature set up fails. It uses SMB to validate path and subsequently transfer scanned documents to folder on server. Printer technician does not know Win 2008 server. I believe that it is additional security or new level of SMB that needs modification to be able to recognize and respond to printer attempt to validate storage folder. anyone got suggestions?

Hi! I have recently moved to the windows server 2008. My 32 bit com+ application used to have configuration file located at: system32 directory. When I had copied the config file to the system32, it was copied automatically to syswow64. I have read somewhere that an application reading system32 directory is automatically and transparently redirected to syswow64 directory. So here goes my questions: 1) Is it enough to copy the config file only to syswow64, should it also been copied to system32? 2) I think, that once when I copied the file to system32 it was copied to the syswow64 and deleted from system32, why? 3) Is it possible the situation that the con…

After upgrading my AD and 5 of my 6 DC's to Windows Server 2008 I cannot find my login scripts. The folder is empty now. Any ideas on where they might have gone?

I have a HP Proliant running Windows 2008 Server . I have presented the FC SAN luns from two HP EVA storage arrays. I was using (bus/target/lun) details available in disk drive properties in windows to uniqly identify the luns. I have obserevd bus/target/lun id's are unique for luns from the same storage array. But i have read the trio (bus/target/lun) will be duplicate for the luns from other EVA storage. ie: two luns from differnt storage arrays can have the same (bus/target/lun) in windows Is the trio(bus/target/lun) reliable to uniqly identify the FC SAN luns from different storage arrays in windows?

Hello. I have just setup a new Windows Server 2008 Standard at the office.I have also created a new user in our domain which we have here. I want to make this user administrator of the new server in order to perform a TeamFoundation Server installation. Although I have declared that user in the administrator group it seems that I cannot do anything when I am logged in as that user because I take a message that all that I am doing is restricted by policy. I found informations about User Account Control and hidden administrator enabling but I am even more confused. Can you please help? Thank you.

Hi, we have a Windows 2008 R2 Server and a 500GB external LAN HDD. I want to run a Backup on the external HDD. So I connected the Shared Folder on that drive with "net use" and created an ".vhd" on it. This I used as Target for the Backup. The backup worked well for approximately one week. After a reboot I was able to connect the image anymore. I always get this Error: "Die Version unterstützt diese Version des Dateiformats nicht." If I copy the vhd Image to an internal drive and try to connect this, it works. Thanks and sorry for my English.
