I am running Windows Server 2008 Standard x64 SP2. I've been organizing and consolidating our archived data through the move command (cut and paste). I really like the new features in Server 2008 that detects same file names and prompts you whether to keep one file or the other or keep both and rename the one being moved. However, I have to run the cut and paste command many times (10+) before it moves all the data. For example, say I am moving five folders containing many subfolders and files to a directory that has the same subfolder names. I am prompted first whether to Merge the folders. I click Yes and sometimes the command continues to prompt for the next…

I have been using the Windows Servers as a desktop since NT first came out. I am a serious middleware developer and am familiar with most Microsoft applications and how to find issues. This one eludes me, when I go to www.adobe .com (Internet Zone) IE starts to load then hangs when I am a user on 2008. If I go to the site as the local builtin admin account (Internet Zone) everything works just fine. Tried using ProcessMonitor to see if anything stands out but no denied accesses are reported. Also tried running IE as an admin but that shows the same results. Any ideas ? Thanks.

Hi 2008 Forum. I was looking forward to make an Image of an Windows Server 2008 Standard Edition with Acronis. Suddeny irealized that i had the wrong Acronis Software running an i abortet it. Since then i get the error message at boot: error loading: winload.exe status: 0xc00000e I googled everything but i dont find a solutions. I already did chkdsk. chkdsk didnt find anything. So my target is to do a systemrepairinstallation but when i boot from dvd and choose "repair your computer" and after i loaded the sata drivers i can only choose between: windows complete PC restor, memory test and command prompt. WHY?

Hello, i have attached a screen shot of the "Where do you want to install Windows" screen that appears when trying to install Windows Server 2008 on a fairly new PC-Intel-64-Dual-Core-4GB-Vista machine that is working fine and when i get to the screen above there are no entries at all appearing on this screen. And just to test out the installation on another machine, i took this Windows Server 2008 CD and successfully installed it on a pretty old low end AMD-64-Vista laptop with no problem and the volume/drive entries appeared fine on this screen. This newer machine does have a Raid/Mirrored drive setup, do you think this could somehow confusing the visibility to the volu…

Wondering if this scenario would make sense. 9 employees using a 5cal license, like this: Create 5 OU's containing 5 users, one user per OU. For the exec OU, one user named exec, so on and so on. Can two users share the same user name and be logged in at the same time, like this? Using the Exec OU... User Exec logs into one computer1 in her office, and then travels down the hall to another office and logs in to computer2 while maintaining the session from computer1. I don't see another way of jumping this hurdle, but i'm surely open to new thoughts to overcome the limitation of the 5cal license.

Experiencing a really irritating problem with DFS replication. We use storage craft server edition to back up our file servers however this stops the DFSR service while running a backup. Normally this is fine however on this particular sever, the service fails to stop (default is 30 seconds, have set the time out to 5 minutes in the registry) and then gets killed (default is 20 seconds but i have changed this to 5 minutes also) which results in the DFSR database being shutdown uncleanly and in turn has to redo the initial replication. This happens every time the backup runs and causes data to become inconsistant. Any ideas how to fix this?

Hello Everyone !! ;) How are you windows masters? This is my first post here, so i hope i won't break any rules or something. If i posted something wrong or anything, please let me know.

Hi all Being new to the whole server stuff I'm completely puzzled by the RDP Licensing issue. Basically all I need the W2008 server to do is to run 6 or 7 Virtual machines using VMWARE server. One or more of these VM's will be available over the Internet via standard RDP ( these VM's are a mix of W7 and XP Pro systems). There won't be ANY application software on the W2008 server except for IE and possibly an email client (not a server email program) On the rare occasion where I need to access the SERVER remotely do I need any licenses -- this is a HOME SERVER where no more than 2 people would ever need to access the actual SERVER. - The VM's are different. Us…

All, I have a Dell PowerEdge 2900 running Server2008 Standard and everytime I log off while sitting at the server the screen resolution goes back to 640x480. Once I log in each time I have to change it back to my monitors default of 1400x900 and then eveything is good. Once I log off it goes back to 640x480. How do I get my screen resolution to stay at 1400x900?

We have a 2003 forest. We are going to install a 2008 RODC in our DMZ and a 2008 DC in our LAN because of an extranet SharePoint project. The only thing Im confuse about, are the RPC dynamic ports. I did they things described in the following articles: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/154596/en-us http://www.pbbergs.com/windows/articles/FirewallReplication.html The second article stated that those registry setting should only be applied to the DCs in the DMZ. But because we use a RODC in DMZ, and it can only communicate with a writable 2008 DC in our LAN, I think I should apply these registry setting also on this 2008 DC in our LAN. But again if I do that, dont I…

Greetings! Have a windows 2008 SP2 installation - hosting Exchange 2007 - on a Dell 2950 PowerEdge system..... .....that irregularly crashes - about once / twice a week - without relevant eventlog entries.

Hi All, I am writing a backup application and when I try to read system junction folder "C:\Document and settings", I get an error "Access denied". This is expected behavior of the system but I need to read the directory/folder to get the meta data of the file as part of backup application. To get the meta data of the folder, I need to read the folder but MSDN (Junction Points (Windows)) specify junction point access control lists (ACLs) set to deny read access to everyone and also added --- "Applications that call out a specific path can traverse these junction points if they have the required permissions. However, attempts to enumerate the contents of the junction…
