Hello, I am trying to create roaming profiles for my computers. All of the client computers are running windows 7 64bit. I have connected them to the domain and they will all log into the users that are created on the server, but when i change computers the new computer makes a temporary profile instead of using the profile that was already created. What I have done on the server: I set up a shared file on the C drive to hold all of the profiles information. It is given permissions to add and remove by authenticated users. I have then created users in the Active Directory Users and computers. I have placed the file path to the profiles folders in the profile …

Just going to throw out a somewhat strange question, just to satisfy my curiosity. Would it be possible to set up an AD domain on a DC running on Win 2k8 R2 in eveluation mode, then just before reaching 260 days, set up a second DC, make it master and demote the first one, essentially keeping an AD going forever in evaluation mode?

Hi I intend to use windows server 2008 as a domain controller. On domain controllers I usually use a static IP address. That was not a problem until now(before I used windows server 2003). When I set the static IP on new installation of windows server 2008 I lose network connectivity. Using diagnose / repair fixes the problem by enabling dhcp on the network adapter which is not what I want. Does anybody has any idea what is the problem and how to solve it? Any advice will be appreciated.

Hallo, I created an object in GPOs of a Windows 2008 R2 server, named "Testsomething". I set in this object a registry String in HKLM\Software\MyTest (only for testing) Now i add this object to my OU where my testuser is in. When I run gpupdate /force now with this user, the registry string is not changed/set how ever. So looked in the output from gpresult and there I can see, that my object is not used: "Abgelehnte (rejected) Gruppenrichtlinienobjekte": Name: Testsomething Verknpfungsstandort (location): mydomain.de/SpecialUsers Grund (reason) abgelehnt (rejected): Leer (empty) But when i put the Object directly in Domain Root (mydomain.de) than it works fin…

Hi everyone, I'd appreciate your advice on the following. I have a Windows Server 2008 R2 box running on my home network. I recently changed the network topology and thus changed the IP address of the Windows 2008 server network adapter in the adapter properties. I then neatly stored all my hardware in a cupboard out of sight. The problem is that I didn't check the remote access settings of the server before I stored it. Since I have changed the IP address I can't remote access it (I could before). I assume this is because the firewall has not been correctly configured to account for the IP address change. I am able to access the shared folders on the server so it i…

I'm thinking of a Virtual Server for developing/hosting websites. The only significant application on it will be SQL Server Express. I see some very good offers around for entry level at 1Gb RAM will W2008 R2 perform reasonably well with that amount of RAM or would I be wasting my time?
