SP2 compatibility issues
by Guest Eric- 0 replies
- 97 views
Article 926031 states that Windows Server 2003 SP2 has a compatibility issue with Exchange 2003 OWA and refers to another article (841560) for a resolution to the problem. From 841560 I infer that the fix is only for SP1. Is there any update to 841560?

Performance monitor for Windows 2003 server
by Guest yvette.ye@gmail.com- 0 replies

I have been monitoring a server with 4 G RAM, 4 CPUs, the disk: is at a 14 SAN RAID 5 disk group, I have setup the alerts, the following are some of the performance counters show in Event Log, I have some questions about them: 1) Counter: \\servername\Process(msmdsrv)\% Processor Time has tripped its alert threshold. The counter value of 792.187223329792 is over the limit value of 99. my question is: How is possible a CPU% is over 100%? Is it because there are 4 CPUs and it shows as 8 CPU instants in Windows, and number 792 means 792% when it sums up for 8 CPUs? 2) Counter: \\servername\System\Processor Queue Length has tripped its alert threshold.

When I shutdown or go to Hibernate or standby it will take up to 8 minute for the machine to load and bring up Windows XP. During this time the screen remains black and nothing seems to happens, then xp will come on. This problem started about 3 weeks ago. I thought it was the video card and I bought a new card with 128 mb. Bur apparently that's not the problem.

Currently I hqave serveral users, with roaming profiles, that use the same folder as Domain Admininstartors. Now I want to take the administrator privledge away from them and still let them use the same folder. How do I set all users as "Owners" of the folder?

Add/Remove Windows Components needs warning

From a usability standpoint a warning like DO YOU REALLY WANT TO REMOVE ....? when the checkmark is cleared in the Add/Remove Windows Components action. It is easy when adding a component to think a checked component need not be added, so the checkmark can be cleared.

Folder/File group option
by Guest RwsRichard- 0 replies
- 93 views
When I create a folder then add a file to the folder, the group function creates its own 'group setting', ie, group by name. I then change the grouping to what I want, which is group by none. Then I add another file and the group function changes the "group setting" again, to say group by type. The file extensions can be the same or different. It does not matter, the group function changes "everytime" I add a file. Sometimes it sets the same group setting, ie. group by name, sometimes it is different, ie. group by type. Is there some way to disable this or make it QUIT changing my settings not matter what I put in the folder? Usually I have mixed fi…

Product activation error 1000 code 80070002
by Guest Marcus Bentley- 0 replies
- 91 views
I have a remote domain controller that has been in place for around 2 1/2 years that suddently a little after midnight this morning started coming up with this error. It is installed with a volume license media, with the same product key as around 60 other servers on the same network. I don't want to jump in doing stuff as the server is a fair distance to get to if I do something to trully stuff it up. Not excluding the fact that there is around 500 GB of user data to restore if it goes wrong. Does anyone know what causes this kind of issue?
