Well, I did it one time and I simply copied all the folders. But I had to restore only desktop and documents folder...it should be ok for you too

Put ftp and webserver on DMZ let the others with port forward

Here's the tutorial: http://serverforum.org/topic/1479-use-process-monitor-to-set-up-permissions-properly/

Your router MUST forward requests to the internet, if you put the DNS (inside) on your router, it will send requests to your server and the server send infos to your router. Infinite loop. Check your DHCP config because it doesn't provide the DNS address which is not correct. If your clients can receive the IP, they must receive the DNS too.

Hi, We have both Fax server (2k3) and print server (x64 - 2k8). We have more or less 50 printers, 1 modem and 1 fax. The problem with printers are drivers. Unlucky, many drivers are universals (Thanks HP and Brother...) which is a good thing BUT sometime the spooler may have trouble managing all the stuffs. Now, a good thing which helped me to resolve my problem (slow printers) was to move the spooler on another partition and add an exception to the antivirus. To be honest, fax server works fine if you don't have many faxes. I mean, you can't really manage faxes. The best thing should be buy a specific software. Anyway, Windows doesn't do any "load balancing" with modems and this can give you a busy line.

Hi and welcome! Enjoy your stay!

Try this: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896645 I wrote a tutorial but right now is not online, anyway, is not too hard that program. Look for the column "RESULT" and see if there are any ACCESS DENIED or others. When the tutorial will be back again, I will post the link.

I have no other ideas... sorry.

It looks like there's a local policy which is forcing theme for normal users. Are you sure you did these steps? http://www.win2008workstation.com/win2008/themes

If your server and your clients are on the same network, your DHCP must be able to respond. You must be sure that a scope is activated and IP addresses are available (this is done during set up). usually your router receive settings from your ISP (IP, DNS), so you don't have to care about it. Your clients must have the the following DNS (IP): 192.168.1.225 which is your DC and DNS server. Clients must be configured WITHOUT a static IP addresses, to check if they have at least the IP address run IPCONFIG on a client and check if the IP starts with 169.254. if yes, you have an APIPA address which is assigned by Windows when it can't find the DHCP server. Let me know.

Wait, I assume that your domain name is managed by a webhoster or ISP, so they must provide name resolution, not you! Anyway, if you ping and you get IP ADDRESSES which are not yours... you should investigate WHO is the owner of those addresses.

two questions: computers and server are on the same network? On the server side, is the application listening on a port? If yes, if you run a port scan against your server from a client, can you see that port? Anyway, are you sure that all the three types of firewall are disabled? Go to admin tools > firewall with advanced security, there's a private, public and domain profile. Let me know.

Your DNS must be public, people must be able to contact it in order to resolve the name / IP. I really don't suggest you to use the same DNS for external and internal purpose... anyway, is up to you. Now, if you have an A record (let's say mysite.mydomain.com), and you CANNOT reach it from INSIDE, first of all you must check if at least your DNS knows how to resolve it, in other words, if you ping mysite.mydomain.com, you should see the IP address of your website. If this is correct, the problem could be the routing.

Try this: open this file: C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\Etc\hosts And add this line: IP_DomainController yourdomain.whatever Save and exit and retry.

Ok, from the "limited" account run this: (start > run) systempropertiesadvanced (you will have to provide password) In performance section, click settings Check everything you need and click OK.

I don't understand this point. Your PC is a DC, where are your clients? On the same network? I really don't understand what are you trying to do!

Actually I THINK that superscope should wait for 1.X to be exhausted before going to the next class. Take a look here: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc757614(WS.10).aspx I'm still thinking at your question... I'm not sure.

there's an hidden option for logging: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/327508/en-us Be sure to backup your registry first! If you need something a bit more professional: http://www.terminalserviceslog.com/ I used this program (trial) time ago and it was really nice, but it has too much information that (for me) where unuseful.

Remembering what happened with your DC, you should backup your AD's users and set up another DC with the same domain name and same IP. Once it is UP and running, detach the old one. Actually the only solution for that problem seems to be to un-join and re-join, same thing for the server but... well, removing a single DC from itself sounds a bit painful...

... That's not a solution for me, first of all you must change policy everytime you plan to shutdown. Second, you must be sure that policies are applied in time, GPO aren't applied every minute, unless you type "gpupdate /force" on EACH CLIENT. Then, if I log on in the morning and the shutdown is programmed for 6 PM, I'm quite sure I will forget this. Another problem, if a user stay logged on, the message is not displayed. At this point, using the e-mail seems to be the best thing to do. But this is just my opinion.

The problem occurs after the SP1, that's what MS says. The server has no problem, or better, is not the guilty for this problem. Can you login locally on the workstation, copy profiles and rejoin domain and finally re-copy all the profiles?

the best thing to do is to enable NETSEND or use 3d part apps like LANmessenger.

So, I can't understand why only the admin can see the "orange icon". Can you find any other differences?

well, this is useless because you need to redirect all the traffic from the internet to your server and something must do this task. Actually a DMZ is on a firewall (regardless if what you have is a router, DMZ is managed by firewall only!). You can redirect all the traffic coming from internet to your DMZ where you have a server which ROUTE traffic in a DMZ, but to do this, you need to have at least 2 NICs on your server. Maybe I'm completely wrong... let me know...

So, have you enabled the DESKTOP EXPERIENCE ROLE? Anyway, it's strange that admin can see those effects but other users not...
