Hello everyone! Look out cos im gonna start a total noob post about doing a WHOOOOOOOOOLLLEEE buch of complicated crap in a bit!

Hello all. I work in I.T. but I'm a noob. Been in the field about 6 months. We have a Windows Server 2000 system that has our active directory on it. It only has a 20 gb HD. We have another server brought up now with Server 2008 running on it. How can I take our AD forest from the Windows 2000 machine and import it into the brand new server and then just ditch the 2000 server and run off the new machine. Basically I just need to know how to get the active directory into the server 2008 so we can get rid of the old crappy system. Please help I need to do this for work bad as you can see its not good to serve your network on a 2000 server with hardly any HD or memory. Thank…

Hello everyone! I hope this will be the place to get an answer. I am very new to the 2008 server family and have run in to an issue while testing a terminal server. The software I am testing is very old. It works fine on 2003 Server Standard. I have 2008 Standard installed. The issue is when I try to run a preset macro within the software (Goldmine 4.0) it does nothing. The software is launched and run from a server still running NT 4.0, no poking fun now... Like I said it works fine in 2003... Thank you in advance for any help with this. -Jesse

Hey guys- I'm new to Windows Server 2008, and most this server stuff. I am trying to setup TS Web Access for my work, and believe I've got most of it working ok. The users want to be able to have some sort of easy interface, maybe via drag/drop, to where they can transfer files to the Server from their Client machine, and vice versa. They don't want to have to download/install/use FTP or any other third party program to do this. This is in case they go to an internet cafe, or use someone else's computer to access the server/files. Is this possible to do? We have a Virtual Server, using Windows 2008 Server (GoDaddy Hosted). I have configured it to be working thus f…

Hello, I'm new to Windwos Server, I have a network I will be setting up and I need to know if windows Server 2008 will do what I'm expecting and what I need to do it. The system will have 3-5 user profiles. Two -maybe three- workstations will connect via RDP from XP machines the third will run locally. If possible one connection from a VPN or from the Web may occur too. I need to know if I need some type of user license for the client PC's that run XP to connect to the server, also will the basic 5 user CAL cover the 3-5 user profiles that will be on the server. I've done this in server 2000 but this seems entierly differnt now. Additionally I plan to use the same Ser…

I am not able to install a video driver for my Nvidia card. All drivers are either xp and non compatible or the hardware can't find a proper driver. Any Ideas?

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!

Hey everyone! I'm looking into installing a copy of Server 2008 to help manage both my parent's business and my own business and to also host my Internet radio station. I was actually able to get myself a free copy of Server 2008 R2 Standard from DreamSpark, but based on my needs, I'm wondering if Standard isn't going be good enough to meet them. I talked to a few people and they suggested to get Small Business Server 2008, so I'm a bit confused since I'm not completely familiar with both versions and what they have to offer. So, I'd like to get a second opinion from some the experts here on what I should get based on my needs. (Please excuse me if I use the wrong termino…

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.

I work for a small company that develops and sells a specialized software product. I'm the primarily software developer, but I also have to wear a number of different hats, like maintaining all our equipment. Right now, I'm trying to clone a working Server 2003 using Server 2008.
