First off, let me start by saying i have very limited Server experience. Recently, my company decided to get a trial copy of Server 2008 and Exchange to use with one of our software for testing before deploying it. I did a trial and error thing and got the domain up and user groups running, i familiarized myself with the server(thanks to windows server 2008: beginner's guide) and now i decided to start all over again to get a "cleaner" configuration i guess. However, my old domain is now still in use. I formatted the server but the domain name "MOLS" is now in use still? I tried entering this during dcpromo at the NetBIOS domain name screen , any idea how i can remo…

Hello, my name is Stan and I am probably a bit older than most of the IT people on the forum. I am the IT Manager for a small city in Washington State and have been involved with computers (and other electronics) most of my life. Some of you may have heard of Univac? That is not to say that I know more than any of you. IT is a constantly evolving field and I am always running to catch up and often find myself a bit behind the curve. I spend a good deal of time studying and experimenting. I am using 2008 Enterprise R2 as my desktop OS just so I can learn it top to bottom. I am running the city's virtual servers on Hyper-V server R2, and stumbling my way through the infancy…

Hi, Not too sure anybody out there can advise me on this? Objective: Ensure that the corporate user must use his valid AD user account and authorised machine to enter the corporate network. To achieve the above objective, what I can think of is to use the user authentication and machine authentication via 802.1x to validate the user and machine credential. For user authentication, I think it shall be quite straightforward. However I am not very cleared on the machine authentication configuration. Issuing certificate on the machine is definitely one of the ways to validate the machine, but I tried to avoid this method as it will be a major operation concern…

Hi Guys, I have a problem that keeps popping up: Dynamic registration or deletion of one or more DNS records associated with DNS domain 'DomainDnsZones.promedis.pvt.' failed.

Possible causes of failure include: - TCP/IP properties of the network connections of this computer contain wrong IP address(es) of the preferred and alternate DNS servers - Specified preferred and alternate DNS servers are not running - DNS server(s) primary for the record…

Hi everybody, I am a complete newbie so forgive any nonsense. I used to be under an administrator. He left the company and I've been "promoted", he he. We are using only one server with windows server 2008 standard. The server is not on the internet and is the domain controller of the company's eight computers. Until now, I used "remote desktop", simply logged on the domain with the username and the password of the domain administrator. A technician used my pc to vpn with his private computer. From then on, I get "wrong username or password", whenever I try to log on like I always did. Any ideas? Thanks

Hi ! I have a backup vbscript that I use to copy a folder that I have on my system (windows server 2008) on a different server (windows server 2003). When I run it manually it works fine. I want to run it with the task scheduler every days. I created a new task that runs my vbs file. When I run it manually it only works when I choose "run only if the user is connected" in the properties of my new task. I want to run it even if no session is started on this server. I tried to lauch my vbs with a bat file and I got that : e:\backup_folfer.vbs(411, 6) Erreur d'excution Microsoft VBScript: Priphrique non disponible which means that the device is not available …

I'm trying to edit a user's profile and copy it over as the default in Server 2008 rc2. So when they log in to my Thin Clients machines it will carry over. Currently the administrative tools are being displayed in the start command, Everything else can be restricted thru GPO. These thin cleints are embedded with XP and I'm using Remote Desktop to log in to the server. When I try to copy a user as the default as done in the past. The only user it will allow me to copy as the default is the administrators. So I'm looking for a profile on my Terminal Server that will push down to my thin clients with my restrictions. Thanks in advance for any assistance...
