Brand new to setting up Server 08 (any server for that matter). This question might be to in depth but would love someone to work with me. I have a machine with server 08 installed with 2 network cards. I want 1 network card to be from cable modem and the other to go to a linksys router acting more like a switch (passive routing). My end goal is to use that router to allow network computers to access internet through the server (wired and wireless are connecting to linksys). That way everyone can see files and media on server and still get through net, yet server is only connected to cable modem and router. again i am brand new and this. is anyone willing t…

Does anyone use a web mail app and if you do what app do you use? I've been using Exchange for web mail, but, I am looking for a more compact app. My users don't need all the extra fluff that Exchange brings to the table. I'm looking for a solution so my users can log in read the email and respond when they need. Ideally this would allow me to give users email address' without giving them an account on the domain. It would need to have web based sign ups. I have some users that work on the road and don't want or need a full Windows accounts. They have requested a way to check there email without having to connect to VPN and use Outlook. I pointed them to Exchan…

ello everyone! I hope you can help me. I have the following problem: My LaserJet 3200 is connected to the server (WinServer 2008 x64) via USB.

Here's the scenario - 2 node 2008 SCC. Everything is working with a single NIC active on each node (mixed communication). When I plug in the second NIC (heartbeat - which is configured with a private address) on each host, I can RDP to one host but RDP to the other does not work anymore. The server is still online - services running, responding to ICMP, WMI access, etc - just can't RDP into it. I have checked and changed NIC binding orders, checked for new updates, rebooted the server, checked Windows services - nothing looks wrong and nothing seems to resolve the issue. Except unplugging the second NIC on the "affected" server - if I unplug the second NIC, I can now RDP …

Our company uses network with a Domain Controller configured on Windows Server 2008 with Active Directory and group policies implemented. All of our developers login from Domain controller on their machines and on local computers those users are member of "Standard User" group only. When we are logged in with local user on those machines we cannot manage (Add/Edit/Delete) the Virtual Directories in IIS installed on local computer.

We want to restrict the users to be member of "Standrad User" group only and can't include them in local Admin…

Hi,* i just need a little help im pretty new to server 2008 ive worked with 2003 a little bit but here's the problem: Im getting about 2-5 mb copy speed from my vista/Mac to my windows 2008 server. i have everything in cat6 i have gigabit cards in all of my computers including the server and a gigabit switch next to the server so i would think i would get better copy speeds than just 2-5 mb.

OK I'm new to windows server for the most part. I have setup a 2008 server at home and have it working for the most part. I have setup up the domain and can login to it fine. I setup 2 user accounts one for me and one for my wife. Now what I would like to happen when we login to any computer in the house mainly our laptop a local user is created. And I'd like to be able to specify what rights that user will recieve. Mainly for the laptop seeing we would want to log into it locally when away from the house and still retain the same profile. How do I accomplish this? I have not been able to figure it out! thank you in advance.

I have just set up a Server 2008 domain controller and am currently setting group policies for my XP clients and they are working out well. However, for the life of me I cannot get firewall settings "pushed out" to my client PCs. I could really use some help on this. I cannot deploy my anti-virus without tweaking these settings and I don't want to go seat-to-seat. I was told to see this link: Deploying Windows Firewall Settings With Group Policy After reading the linked page, I played with this stuff for the better part of the day... It has not been a good day! I started playing around with it via the link provided but soon found out that it edits an area in the Gr…

I want to offer Windows Remote destop hosting and I want to understand a couple things. I plan on creating standard user accounts for each user. And then give them Remote desktop access.

Hi, I am trying to learn AD and Server 2008 features using a VHD... I can't quite figure out how to make it so users of computers logged into the server have admin rights locally (by using group policy). I have seen tutorials on using restricted groups, but there is not a restricted group under computer configuration > windows settings > security Do I just add it or is there something I am missing?
