I have a windows server 2003/2008 mixed domain. There is one 2008 server domain controller and three win2k3 dc's. a win2k3dc is the pdc emulator(it holds all the roles currently). The time in the domain is off amongst all nodes, servers and workstations. The pdc emulator is set for an external time source. When i run a w32tm /query /status on the workstations and servers i always get back source being local cmos clock. When i run w32tm /resync i always get back did not synchronize because no time data avaliable. When i run w32 /config /syncfromflags:domhier it does not change the source. What would be the next step i could take in this situation.

. This is when using the windows server 2008 backup utility

Can i do a backup of the sysstate on one win2k8 dc and send it to an external drive on a remote server. Or send backups to a remote mapped drive in general

not sure what you mean. The domain and forest functional levels are win server 2003

I have a windows server 2003 network with two domain controllers. I have installed the first windows server 2008 server but I have not joined the domain yet. Should I run forestprep or dcprep before joining the 2008 server to the domain. The 2008 server will not be a domain controller.

We have a windows server 2008 enterprise installation and we are wanting to install remote desktop services so that multiple accounts can terminal into it. Ive seen that you can install remote desktop services with windows server 2008 R2. It doesnt appear to be an option with 2008 enterprise. Can you install remote desktop services on plain enterprise. If not, is there any way to get terminal server ability on 2008 server enterprise.
