Hello, this its my first post in the forums I want to say hi to everyone. Well my problem is that I need to format my server because I got some issues and I am wondering how could I backup my active directory (user accounts/resources/directive policies), after that make a fresh install of windows 2008 server standart and restore the active directory. Would apreciate a step by step guide. Thanks in advance.

I have the following problem: I have email1, email2, email3 on domain A and email1 on domain B. On the server I have a virtual domain A. If I sent an mail intern from email1 to email3 in domaina.nl it is switched intern. But if I send a mail to email2@domaina.nl that isn't in the virtual domain, I get not able to deliver mail. How do I set the server to send it to outside if the recipient doesn't exist in local virtual domain?

So anyway, normally we use linux because of the fatal perpetual security hazards that Microsoft inflicts on the world. However enough people are totally oblivious to the hard realities, and uneducated enough to feel comfortable with Microsoft servers in their company. I am tasked with getting $M's version of a communication server going to provide an additional product offering. Install Attempt Anyhow, with the server 2008 trail disk from Microsoft, it simply wont detect the sata hard drives in a raid 1 configuration. Windows XP does, Linux does, How to force Windows 2008 to see the drives so that an install is possible ?

On many websites, when I try to print the web page it simply does not work When I just select "Print", essentially nothing happens, no error, no print, nothing. When I select "Print Preview", I get a blank page and the page count starts counting and continues up to many hundreds before IE7 crashes. I can prevent the crash if I exit print preview before it goes over 700 pages. After that it becomes unstable and will continue counting until it crashes. Is there any way to fix this? Using IE7, version 7.0.5730.13CO, on Windows XP, SP2 system. -- Thank you, John Gregory

This solution doesn't work for me. The only way I can print from IE8 is if I first disable Protected Zone. I'm running 64 bit Windows 7.

I just installed Windows 2008 sever and created an account for myself to test. I found while reading around on the internet that Group Policy is the new way to set up mapped drives for users. I have created a policy to map three drives for the domain users. Now when I go to login from my Win 7 Pro and Ultimate machines, I don't get any mapped drives. I can't seem to figure out where the issue is. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

My company is currently running on Windows 2008 R2 Standard. We have quarterly scans for PCI Compliance(credit card industry security standards). We currently need to disable SSL 2.0. I looked up how to do it but nothing I have found has told me how to make sure SSL 3.0 is working. (I'm fresh out of school and still green) We currently use outlook anywhere at one location to get emails from another location. We also have a sharepoint site we need to get up and running in the not too distant future. So as far as my knowledge goes I need some form of SSL running. SSL 3.0 is compliant so that is why I am asking about it. Any ideas on how I can get 3.0 so I don't brea…

Hello Everyone, My name is Yekini and I have been studying Active Directory 2008 for some time now and so far, everything has been going great until I started studying and trying to master inter-site replications in Active Directory Sites & Services. Yes, we have intra-site and inter-site replications. In a nutshell, I completely I understood the whole concepts and configurations that needs to be down in Active Directory Sites & Services in order to implement inter-sites replications. I also understand with the basic fundamental principle of TCP/IP addressing system, private ip addresses scheme are non-routable on the public network (internet) unless a defau…

Is it better to migrate from a 2003 domain to a 2008 domain using migration or by creating a whole new domain? Also have an Exchange 2003 server that I want to move to 2008. Getting ready to move to virtual and want new server OS.

Hi I have installed Windows Server 2008 and active directory is configured on it.

Can some one help me by providing step by step process to accomplish this task. Thanks for the help.

Hi all you helpful people :) So here's my problem: At my school, they've for some reason chosen to teach us about Windows Server 2003, which I think is stupid, so I asked my teacher why we didn't use the updated Windows Server 2008. His reply was that you could do the exact same things in Windows Server 2003 as you can in 2008. He continued by telling me if I could find -one- thing you can do in Windows Server 2008 that you can't in 2003, he would get me a copy of 2008, and consider upgrading to 2008 for my class. I can't say I'm much of an expert at Windows Server, so I decided to come here and ask you people if you could help me find out a major difference be…

I have installed the domain controller in Server 2008 and configured it. now after making an OU i have created a user. And added a group policy from GROUP POLICY MANAGEMENT with the name test1. And then link the OU with the new added policy. But it is not working on the client side. In the report of setting TAB it show all the policies those i have added.

Hi guys iv installed this process and it looks like iv configured it to work as the help file shows but im having some difficulty's with getting the machines to use the service, iv also noticed that when i try to browse to the server on port 8530 (which is the correct port) i get nothing. I have edited the default GPO to automatically go to the update server for its updates and ran a gpupdate and the machines still dont populate the "computer" box. Any ideas where i am going wrong?

We are running a Server 2008 R2 with SQL Server 2008 and IIS 7 installed. This has been running with no problems since March, last week it had 2 unexpected reboots, and so far this week 1 reboot. I've checked the EventLog, but not found any events before the reboot that relates to this. I've also had a check of a MEMORY.DMP file with WinDbg, but I didn't find a good reason there, this is my first time. It does mention PROCESS_NAME as ekrn.exe (NOD32). This is installed in version 4.0.132 on the server. Any ideas on what can be done? I've attached the result from WinDbg when opening the Memory.dmp file.

Hello all, we are upgrading our old terminal server 2003 to a new higher end server with terminal server 2008. We also will be upgrading the domain controller from SBS 2003 to 2008 shortly. I was advised to build a test environment for the terminal server which i did. I have got the server running and had tested it in my office with our local printers, We couldn't really get the easy print working 100% so just decided to find drivers for all the printers on the network and install them on the server. This seems to work fine. Yesterday i setup the 2008 terminal on the domain and give access for 2 or 3 people to test before i switch over 100%. This is wher…
