Windows 2008 Server Task Bar Changes Not Saved

$
0
0

I have and Admin id and a non-Admin id on Windows 2008 Server R2 64-bit. When I make changes to the task bar such as quick launch or resize using my Admin id, the changes are saved the next time I log into windows. When I make similar changes with my non-Admin id, the changes are not saved the next time I log into windows.

The infrastructure people at my work place want me to use my non-Admin id most of the time, so this is an annoying issue. Does anyone have a fix?

Roaming Profile Reverting to Local Profile

$

0

I'm trying to set up roaming profiles within a Windows Server 2012 domain. Here is what I did:

  • I created a shared folder, which I am able to access at \\dc1\profile when logged in as the roaming user. (share & ntfs permissions are set to Everyone - FC for testing)

  • I set the user's profile to use \\dc1\profile\%username% in the user's properties.

When I log in to the domain as the user I am getting kicked back to the local profile. A folder gets created in the profile share called <username>.V2 that is filled with the default folders but for some reason this isn't the profile being used.

The only error showing up in my event log is a printer driver error (not installed).

I have also tried using \\dc1\profile\%username%.V2 as the profile path but I get the same result.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Windows server 2008 stuck on Welcome screen

This is a repost of this thread here as this has never been answered....

I have a server. Roughly once a week, at different times, will not let me login.
Basically the symptoms are that I can connect RDC and logon, its just stuck on the 'Welcome' screen.
the same happens when i try to logon locally too

The only way to "fix" the problem is to power off the server.

Checking the event logs hasn't been helpful as there aren't any nasty errors in there.

I am running Windows Server 2008 ENTERPRISE x64 Edition SP1. DL380 G5. HP Server are fully patched.

This is a dedicated SCCM 2007 server with nothing else but SEP11 client (AV only)
running on it.


The remote server returned an error (403) Forbidden

I'm having a strange error on my website: The remote server returned an error (403) Forbidden

Seems like I keep getting this message, and can't figure out how to fix it. I've tried setting the directories to the appropriate permissions, thinking that's what it was. But it doesn't seems so. 

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks! 

Extend C drive on Windows 2003

WE have a server running Windows 2003 and the C: drive partition is too small. I would like to increase the partition size without losing the current program installation. Is it possible to use an image restore and increase the partition size, or can I use a larger hard drive in the same machine to increase the partition size?


Task Scheduler: Making a Task Event for a Event Viewer log: Getting a error when pressing Finish

Hello,

I'm getting the following Error when I'm trying to make a Event Task for the spoolsv.exe event in the Event Viewer to send me a email to my email account in the event the Print Spooler stops working and won't reboot itself.

This is the error I get when I press finish of the Basic Task Wizard when I press Finish:

Task Scheduler:

" An error has occurred for task Print Spooler Event. Error message: a task or folder with this name already exists"

However there isn't a task with this name, what does it mean by a folder? - what could be causing this issue? - There isn't any tasks on this server so fair that would conflict.

After changing a workstation's name with netdom, the new name isn't listed in Active Directory

I used the following command to successfully change the name of a domain computer.  

NETDOM RENAMECOMPUTER MYOLDNAME /NewName:MYNEWNAME /UserD:DOMAIN\Administrator /PasswordD:Password123 /UserO:DOMAIN\Administrator /PasswordO:Password123 /Force /REBoot:0

However, when I look for the newly named machine in Active Directory, it's not there.  The old name is gone.  Everything on the client looks successful.  Do I have to manually create the new workstation name on the domain controller?  If so, do I do that before or after renaming the workstation?

Thanks!

APP Crash - Specific to Users

$

I have a group of users that remote (MSTSC) onto a Windows Server 2008 R2 machine in our data center to run a VB.NET App

The VB.Net application (3.5 framework)  runs from C:\Users\<username>\Documents\Program Files\MyApp. The application is pushed down to the server from our NAS using a home grown one-click deployment process when the user clicks a shortcut.

I have two users that are currently remoted onto the server. When user A runs the program executes as expected. When User B runs the app crashes. All of the code is wrapped in a try catch but the exception handling is never hit.  When I view the details of the crash report i get this:

   Problem signature:
Problem Event Name: APPCRASH

If the online privacy statement is not available, please read our privacy statement offline:

This problem started occurring right after we made an update to the exe on the NAS, however each user's program folder are identical.  Is Windows caching and exe somewhere or something?

I am at a loss.

Error: Parameter name does not match any properties on resources: trustedhosts

Hello!

I am trying to learn Power Shell. I have two questions.

1. I am using Windows 7, SP1. I know that PowerShell v2 is supposed to be included in Windows 7. When I check PowerShell properties, it shows v1. However, when I open Powershell and use get-host command, it shows that I am using v2. What does that mean???

2. I am trying to estanlish a remote connection with another computer which is also W7 SP1. It's in the same workgroup. I can ping that machine. However, when I am using the command line

winrm set winrm/config/client @{TrustedHosts="Remote Comp Name"}

I get an error:

Error: Parameter name does not match any properties on resource: trustedhosts

If I proceed and use this command: winrs -r:Remote Comp name whoami, I get this error:

Winrs error:The WinRM client cannot process the request. If the authentication scheme is different from Kerberos, or if the client computer is not joined to a domain, then HTTPS transport must be used or the destination machine must be added to the TrustedHosts configuration setting. Use winrm.cmd to configure TrustedHosts. Note that computers in the TrustedHosts list might not be authenticated. You can get more information about that by running the following command: winrm help config.

What should I do to make it work? I looked over Internet and all I can find is information when someone is trying to connect Server to W7.

How do I add my Remote Machine to TrustedHosts otherwise if this command doesn't work?

Can the problem be that it shows PowerShell v1 in the properties?

Please help!

Thanks,

Larisa

WINDOWS SERVER 2003 - Creating a UPN Suffix as an OU property

Hi

I have two different configuration scenarios:

Scenario (A):Windows Server 2008 at a 2003 Domain Level

Scenario (B): Windows Server 2003 at a 2003 Domain Level

I would like to know is it possible to create a UPN-Suffix as an OU property at a Windows 2003 DC?

If I have a Windows server 2008 DC is it possible to make this changes if the server is operating in a Forest and Domain 2003 level?

Thanks a lot in advance.

Printer default changes after a User has logged out of the Terminal Server

Hi guys hope you are all well, I am having a problem with a client regarding printer defaults changing, allow me to explain:

We have a client and the user when they are in the office their default printer is "Main Area", when this user logs into the terminal server and back out (out of the office), when they go back to the office there default printer is changed to "DocRoom". The user is not having problems with the terminal server at home because she can print to her home printer fine.

Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you

Robocopy from source to destinationA then from destinationA to destinationB

I have a near online store of the organisations main file system maintained by Robocopy - Robocopy.exe \\Source\files\ \\des\files /MIR /MT:8 /COPYALL /ZB /R:0 /W:0 /V /TEE /LOG:C:\logs\RoboFiles.txt

Once the files are in \\des\files I have another copy job with the same switches to copy from \\des\files to an offsite store overnight (so copying from A to B and then from B to C). I have noticed that while the first copy can sometimes be large the offsite copy is often small when it should be the same size. Basically will this setup work or is the archive bit not set when robocopy makes it's incremental update to the destination files?

Thanks

MsiInstaller Headache!!!

Hi all

I'm having some serious issues with Microsoft Installer in my 2003 doamin. I'm running x3 servers with 32bit Server 2003, x1 high spec graphics machine with Windows 7 and x41 client machines with Windows XP Professional SP3. I'm running Sophos Enterprise Console AV on one of the Servers and Sophos Endpoint on ALL other machines.

Now, the issue; 3 weeks out of the month, I get absolutely no SAV updates to the XP machines, just a red X over the Sophos shield, making me think I had a fault with Sophos. But after extensive testing and communication with their support team, I have concluded that the issue is not with Sophos but with Microsoft Installer, due to the .msi files not installing. This can be confirmed now because when ever I try to install any software on a client, I have to /unregserver then /regserver to get the installer to activate, which it does for about a day, then it stops again, so this is not a fix. The installer is set to automatic, but when I try to start it, I get an error message saying that it cant be activated, until I /unregserver then /regserver again.

 Now, I have looked at group policy settings and there is nothing set for installer at all. I've followed every knowledge based article I can find and my head is hurting trying to find a solution to this issue. In the client machine logs, there are hundreds of the same error on the x41 client machines:

Failed to connect to server. Error: 0x80070005

Does anyone have any ideas as to why my 41x XP xlients can not use Installer unless I /unregserver then /regserver and why the 3x 2003 servers and 1x windows server work fine? Bearing in mind that the windows 7 machine and servers are using the same group ploicy settings as the rest of the problamatic machines?

Any help greatly appreciated, cheers.

Disk ID issue with windows un-attended installation

$

0

In our set-up, we create an unattended file on a linux system ( use fdisk to fill up disk-ids in that order ), copy it to a USB, and then reboot the system ( from windows CD ) with the USB on it. 

The problem is that, after reboot, we get an error saying that the disk with id ( whatever given ) has not been found. At this stage, we change the disk-id manually ( 0 or 1 or 2 etc. ) after opening the autounattend.xml file, and installation starts up.

Having said that, how do we make sure that the disk-ids in autounattend file remain valid even after the reboot ? Is there a way to do that ?

Please let me know if there are any doubts with this question.

Regards,

Raj ....
