Windows 2008 Standard SP1 64 bit I installed windows, add IIS and configure it, install MS SQL 2008. Install all updates. System works fine some days, but after restart all services are stopped. I can login into windows but nothing works at all. We have two different servers and I tried at both. System works fine during some days, I can restart it without problem. But suddenly after restart, without any reasons all services are stopped and system does not work.

Hello, I am using a windows Server 2008 standard SP1. Now I connect to the server with remote Desktop. So far no problems. When I use any kind of barcodescanner I have the following problem: Normally the scanner send a CTRL-B as a start character. On this environment in the keypress function I get the Character B at first and then the Control Character. So it is vice versa to any other kind of Windows Server. The problem does not occur when the remote desktop window it not maximized! Thanks you for your suggestions. Gregor

I pay a monthly fee for a dedicated computer with Windows 2008 server from GoDaddy. I just had them provision a 100 Gig backup but it does not work properly. Ftp will not do a mkdir xxx, it drops the connection instead. GoDaddy support says they need administrative access to the system in order to fix the problem. I have 3rd party's accounting records on that system. Is it possible to restrict someone with administrative access from that accounting directory?

Hi, I am migrating from Server 2003 with Exchange 2007 to Server 2008 with Exchange 2007. We have a Com+ Event Sink event, on 2003 it was registered in Com+ without an issue, and we used the old Exchange Explorer you can get from an older Exchange SDK. But it worked fine to link up the exchange events, until they changed to 2008. It appears it won't recognise the Com+ package when registering the event. I get a message that seems to state that it can't actually See the registered package. I've done exactly the same thing on the 2008 server that I've done before on the 2003 server, and it all goes swimmingly until the point where I need to register the compo…

Hi All I have a question on the 2008 cluster migration wizard. Just wondering if anyone has done this yet. Does it affect the current live cluster? I am planning on migrating to 2008 from 2003 and want to give the cluster a go first. Does this have any impact or implications on the current cluster. Obviously I want to use the wizard then asses how it has gone, not just switch over to 2008. Any help appreciated.

Hello, I am new to WS2008 and I was wondering if anyone could help me with my issue. I have two NIC's installed in my pc. One NIC is connected to a DSL Modem, and the other one is connected to my LAN. The server currently is running a DNS Server and a DHCP Server. I don't want to use ICS, because it messes with my static ip that is set for my NIC. I also have tried the routing guide from windowsnetworking.com without any luck with that. Perhaps I did something, wrong. I don't know. Anyway, any help would be appreciated. Thanks for all the support, King John.

I installed QuickBooks 2009 Pro on a remote Windows 2008 server. However, when I launched QuickBooks I got a dialog box that said the "Internet Security Levels are set too High." I phoned QuickBooks but they said they do not support QuickBooks Pro running on a Remote Desktop Connection. They said they did not know whether Pro or Premier would work on a terminal server or not. QuickBooks would not tell me whether their "Pro" version would work remotely or not. They say they have only had only tested their $3,000.00 "enterprise" version of on a remote connection. Perhaps you can help me solve my QuickBooks installation problem. The dialog box that said the "Int…

What is pausing a zone suppose to do? I would think that pausing the DNS zone for a website would cause the domain name not to resolve. Thanks
