  2. I will be installing a new server which has a RAID controller with 4 1TB hard disks. I have thought about using at least 2 partitions, a C: logical drive for Windows Server 2008 and a D: logical drive for database and other applications like an email server. Is this an advisable approach? What would be a good practice? With respect, Jorge Maldonado

  3. Hi, this is my very first time deploying and configuring AD. I am setting up a Domain Controller at home, for a very small network (testing and knowledge ) ) I have crated the domain and have a DNS zone for my domain I had the DNS zone prior to setting up the DC, it was just propogating DNS records, A, MX mail etc etc for my domain.

    I thought I would use my laptop that I just loaded with W8 for a slide show on my Sony TV. I connected the laptop to the TV by HDMI lead as I used to with W7 in the first instance to the side socket and when I started the slide show (using the built in slide show facility) it came up with an error banner across the screen saying that the resolution was too low, but when I clicked on the change resolution link, it went from 1280 x 720 to 1280 x 800 pixels and cut off part of the picture (it worked ok when I tried it just on the laptop screen previously) so I found this HDMI connection was no longer appropriate and tried one at the back of the TV (HD 1,920x1080 pixels reso…

  14. Hi guys, I upgrated from win server 2k8 to win server 2k8 R2, and now can't play audio stream from internet ( youtube, skype, etc... ). I enabled audio services, so I can play local audio files. Prior to upgrade this all worked perfectly fine, so I guess it's something that need to be configured, but I can't find how. Please, help me out. Thanks, Mike

  16. Even though I have IPv6 unchecked in my one and only Local Area Connection on my server, I'm still getting this error. Googling didn't help much and a search on this board didn't yield anything specific enough to help me. I'm getting Event ID: 10020 "This computer has at least one dynamically assigned IPv6 address. For reliable DHCPv6 server operation, you should use only static IPv6 addresses." My windows XP user PC doesn't even have IPv6 shown on its local area connection so I doubt it's coming up as a result of that machine asking for one so I'm a bit confused on how to handle this. Thanks.

    As all of you know, Windows Server 2008 (as any other kind of Windows OS) needs to be updated with fixes, patches, etc. This process often requires to reboot the server which means that access to it will be denied until it is up and running again. This is not good if the server runs a web site that is visited by users 24 hours a day (for example) because the site will be inaccessible during the time the server takes to restart. What can be done to ensure that a Windows Server 2008 will be always accessible and, at the same time, to perform the required updates ??? Respectfully, Jorge Maldonado

    Hello members! I have a strange problem with windows 2008 R2 file server. My company has about 60 employees. We have a file server with defined access rights to file server folders. When I add an access permissions directly to folder (using Network File and Folder Sharing) for specific user with read / write permissions, everything works fine. But when I set up a group in AD, add this user to this group and add group access permissions to this folder, user cannot access the folder. I hope you understand my problem.

  21. Hello, We have several Windows 95 computers that connect to a Windows 2003 DC. We have just implemented a Windows 2008 server (not a DC) as a file share server. The Windows 95 clients can see the files in fileshare (They have Modify access), but can only open TXT files. All other files, Excel, Word, JPG, etc, cannot be opened. It gives an error that the file cannot be found or is read only when we attempt to open them. We are unable to copy these file types as well with the same error of "cannot find file". The Windows 95 client can access another file share server (Windows 2003) and open all file types without a problem. So I suspect there is some incompa…
