Ok, actually I think the point is for security purpose. I'm going to investigate further but I'm pretty sure the reason is security.

Everything Is fine now :) and... the name of your server must point to your PRIVATE ip. Ipv6 doesn't matter here, but let it there. SOA records usually don't show aliases, so it's ok. Yes you should add that name to name server but is not mandatory because Ns1 and 2 are already the same server :) Why your DNS should have a public IP? I don't think you need it...

Hi, Let's start from the beginning: You have two keys components: DOMAIN NAME and DOMAIN CONTROLLER. Once again, You have two keys components: MYDOMAIN.COM and WS2008R2X64-0 You DC is WS2008R2X64-0 which is the provider of the domain MYDOMAIN.COM. In order to RESOLVE names (both external and internal), the DNS query must point to WS2008R2X64-0.MYDOMAIN.COM OR the IP (private IP) of the DOMAIN CONTROLLER. When you say: " I have my domain pointing to ns1.mydomain.com and on my server I created a ns1 nameserver entry under the forward lookup zone for mydomain.com." You say also where is your mistake: you can add ns1.mydomain.com, but WHAT IS ns1? The DNS / Domain doesn't know ANYTHING about NS1. So, you forward things to NOWHERE! Then again:"My problem is in the SOA whenever I change my nameservers or the primary server from compname.mydomain.com to ns1.mydomain.com it takes effect... but then later I go back into it and it has changed back automatically to compname.mydomain.com" Everything is correct here, your DNS knows WHO is responsible for name resolutions, when you change the NAMESERVER, it doesn't know HOW to resolve it, because the real nameserver is gone! So, here you can find a resolution: Add an ALIAS on your DNS: ns1.mydomain.com which points to: ws2008r2x64-0 OR IP_of_DC. You can also create another server (physical) and call it NS1. You COULD also change the HOSTS file inside your DC and add a static in this way: ns1.mydomain.com IP_of_DC Now I hope you aren't too bored :P Cheers

Here you are: > script.ftp ECHO USER MyUserId >>script.ftp ECHO MYpassword FTP -v -s:script.ftp ftp.yourHost.com TYPE NUL >script.ftp DEL script.ftp

I'm a bit lost... what is your question now?

maybe... but first I need to know which language are you using (batch file, vbs, vb.net, c, ...) thanks.

Hi, right click on the language bar, and then settings on the drop down menu, default input language... select what you want.

Yes, you're right. If you want to be sure that your policies are applied correctly, please run RESULTANT GROUP POLICY (under GROUP POLICY MANAGEMENT).

Do you have a backup system running? If this backup system works with A attribute (archive), so the file look modified.

The only thing you can do is to write the password in a text file and then read it from your program / script. I'm not really sure I understood right...

Hi! Enjoy your stay!

Remember: the most restrictive is applied! You should grant the full control at the SHARING level, then, with NTFS permissions, you can set up things properly. I can be member of domain admins, but I can have no access on a particular folder... The group USERS has 1 member (by default) > AUTHENTICATED USERS which are all the users logged in in some way.

Sooo here you are: https://skydrive.live.com/redir.aspx?cid=118be0990f970226&resid=118BE0990F970226!702 I splitted all the files because skydrive has a limit of 100 mb, also there's a 32 and 64 bits version. Password for archives: server2008forum

The speed test is FROM your server TO internet. The first test (with performance monitor) is to check if there's any congestion or other. The second test (internet test) is to understand if you have the same problem when you surf internet. Because if the problem is with the NIC itself, you should see the same issue, what I mean is that if you have an internet connection of 5 mb and after the test, your result is 2-3 mb, you should investigate further in order to "isolate" the problem. If the result is good, we can exclude something :)

I think so too, as said, each rule has its own range / scope

Mhh you could try to open the file with Notepad++ but actually I don't think you can edit it as you like...

You can't open it as normal file... you can just import in another machine.

I can't see your rules... Anyway... each rule has its own scope... so...

Never tried before, but perhaps you can try with scripting by passing subnets as variables. Regarding the copy & paste, it's quite easy: http://blogs.dirteam.com/blogs/sanderberkouwer/archive/2007/11/13/firewall-management-in-server-core-part-2.aspx Look at section "Import and Export"

This looks like a double post... anyway... what do you want to say with: "my Cloud Server just got booted into rescue mode"?

I'm downloading files, when ready, I will give you the links.

Hi, Try the following solution: Select a period when the server is not really under load (usually midday or evening), then open PERFORMANCE MONITOR and finally try to download the file and check all the percentages (especially network). From there you should see if there's any congestion. Also try a download speed from that server: http://www.tracert.org/bandwidth_meter/speedtest.php Is it a good speed or not?

From what I know, you can't

Do you receive any error? Your clients are XP?

Hi, does this problem appear with Internet Explorer or Firefox or Chrome or ... ?
