I am working on a web interface to let users manage their own quotas. Everyting seems to work ok, except for user impersonations. Ather executables, like notepad, run just fine with my code, which is the C# version of *Runas...". But for dirquota I always get "The requested operation requires elevation". Here is my code... String DirQuota = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["DirQuotaPath"]; String sArgument1 = " template list /remote:\"" + _servername + "\""; System.Security.SecureString password = new System.Security.SecureString(); foreach (char c in sPassword) { password.AppendChar©; } ProcessStartInfo startInfo = new ProcessStartInfo(DirQuota, sArgument1);…

I up-graded my 2003 server and the OS to Server 2008 and need to move my users and groups to the new machine. Also, is there a way to see when a user last logged in to the network so I can delete the in-active users. Thanks in advance for any assistance..

My company is a Microsoft partner, and I've recently deployed our 2 Windows Server 2008 MAPS licenses on two new machines I've built. The new OS seems to rock like crazy, and I'm interested in Windows Vista "Workstation" (a la a pared down version of Server 2008). I want it to do very little actual "server" tasks, preferring rather to have simply a nice, stable, fast OS for my laptop to run Visual Studio, SQL Server and some other apps we have in house. XP is alright, but I'd like to get up into the Vista kernel, but don't like the actual versions of Vista that are available. Windows Server 2008 Standard costs too much for my company to justify the expense. Windows …

Hey all, I have upgraded my domain from 2000 to 2008. Everything went well except out XP clients are starting to spew userenv 1030, 1058 errors. Vista clients don't seem to have this problem. I have combed the net and tried MANY different fixes. None have worked so far. The error points to "the system cannot find the path specified". What is very interesting is that when I browse to either \\DC\Sysvol or \\domain\Sysvol nothing shows up, but only in the xp clients. everything is there in the vista clients. Any hints?? Thanks, Dylan

Hello, Our idea here is to migrate NetWare network to windows. We want to setup SBS 2008 on new server that we purchased. I have installed SBS 2008 Standard on HP 350 ML G5. We want to setup this server as Domain Controller. I'm following the steps from Demo that is available on microsoft website. Installation was successful without any errors. Server was not connected to the network during the installation. I connected server to network after installation. Currently this Server is connected to the small switch and switch to network. My problem is when I'm trying to run option "Connect to the Internet" from the SBS Console. I'm getting screen that is attac…

Hello, experts! On my machine I have installed Windows Server 2008 DataCenter Without Hyper-V SP1 with TS Session Broker role. On two other machines installed Windows Server 2003 Enterprise SP2 with Terminal Server role. All configured on combined action without using of the NLB. The request to WMI-class Win32_SessionDirectorySession returns the error "Provider is not capable of the attempted operation" 0x80041024. Although requests to other classes to obtain data from the TS Session Broker, such as Win32_SessionDirectoryCluster and Win32_SessionDirectoryServer, returns data. How can I get data from the request to Win32_SessionDirectorySession? Thank in advance for…

So my question is: how can I set NIC priority in win 2008? Please help me. I need your help. Sorry for my bad english. Thanks and regards, :)

I need to know if Windows Server 2008 provides the following features: -Logging inbound traffic from the remote server (I know Win2003 only did outbound) -Does it log outbound RAS connections? -If so, what information is logged? Source/destination IP and URL? Date and time? -Does server 2008 make a link between the source address to the outbound address? Any information would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

We currently have a workgroup setup with a Windows 2003 server running SQL. We are moving to Exchange 2007 on Windows 2008 and would like to make that the primary Domain Controller. Can I then make the Windows 2003 (SQL) Server a DC as well? I read something about it would erase all local accounts if I did this - any truth to that? Would we need to do anything with the existing databases prior to making it a DC in the 2008 forest? Thanks for any advice

Hi all I have to migrate my existing infrastructure Win 2K/exchange 2K to Win2008 and Exchange 2007. My previous Antivirus has expired (Trend server protect and scanmail) Scanmail exists for exchange 2007 but there is no version for TREND windows 2008 file server. So i'm looking for a really good antivirus for my new files servers and may be for exchange 2007 in a "pack" ! Any ideas ? Eric

This post relates to Remote Desktop Connection, not Terminal Services. If I'm posting in the wrong place, please forgive and point me to a better location. We're a small software shop who has started upgrading dev servers to Win2008. When our people try to connect remotely via a VPN, we get the error message, "Because of an error in data encryption, this session will end. Please try connecting to the remote computer again". We're guessing there's some setting on Windows 2008 itself or on routers that needs to set, but we can't seem to find it. We're stumped. :confused:. Additional facts on the problem are below. Any help 'preciated. Thanks in advance. -Billy …

I use Windows Server 2008 as a Terminal Server and I can connect to it fine via Thin Client. The Issue is when I connect an External USB Device, like USB Stick it is mapped under computer the "Hard Disk2" folder is seen but when I try to open the folder I get "\\tsclient\files\Hard Disk2 is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this network resource. Contact the administrator of this server to find out if you have access permissions. The file exists.". How can I fix this issue? ------------------------------------------------- Not much help here! I found out myself that the issue is that Server 2008 requires RDP 6.0 in order to get this to work!
