Ok, do you have any knowledge of PowerShell or VBScript? Starting from here: http://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/scriptcenter/ccc4f445-6c19-4300-9210-d8b200ab18ef you can easily retrieve all the events that you need and then, decide: write to file, send an e-mail, ... Everything depends on what do you want to do AND your knowledge.

Not a good idea... Anyway... when you RDP into a server, you can choose to save a file. So, open the mask for the connection, put the IP or name and then click OPTIONS (I think on the left bottom corner). From there you can specify credentials and password. Save it and once you double click it, you will be on your server without entering any password. As said... NOT a good idea.

Can you please tell us what's the error message? Basically only the administrator can login via RDP.

Hi, it's easy. From technet: strComputer = "." Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:" _ & "{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" _ & strComputer & "\root\cimv2") Set colLoggedEvents = objWMIService.ExecQuery _ ("Select * from Win32_NTLogEvent " _ & "Where Logfile = 'System'") For Each objEvent in colLoggedEvents Wscript.Echo "Category: " & objEvent.Category & VBNewLine _ & "Computer Name: " & objEvent.ComputerName & VBNewLine _ & "Event Code: " & objEvent.EventCode & VBNewLine _ & "Message: " & objEvent.Message & VBNewLine _ & "Record Number: " & objEvent.RecordNumber & VBNewLine _ & "Source Name: " & objEvent.SourceName & VBNewLine _ & "Time Written: " & objEvent.TimeWritten & VBNewLine _ & "Event Type: " & objEvent.Type & VBNewLine _ & "User: " & objEvent.User Next Also, if you need something more complex... http://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/scriptcenter/site/search?f%5B0%5D.Type=RootCategory&f%5B0%5D.Value=logs&f%5B0%5D.Text=Logs%20and%20monitoring There are plenty of examples you can use :)

Can you post the log? Also... try the command with the UPPERCASE letter F... perhaps it helps...

That's odd... Perhaps there's an update which has broken up something... I really have no idea... I use SNMP on 2k8 and 2k8 R2 with no problems at all!

Yeah... errr do you have any error? Something in the event viewer? If you are on a default install of windows server, only the Administrator can login (if RDP has been enabled). Please, be more precise...

First of all check the VSS service, which ACCOUNT is used to start it? It should be NETWORK SERVICE. Second, run this command: C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\12\bin\stsadm.exe -o registerwsswriter Finally, if the step above doesn't resolve your issue... you COULD delete that entry. Honestly the event id is a warning, so the process doesn't fail... anyway, if that entry is no longer used, you should be able to remove it. Maybe, export the entire registry first, then delete, then reboot, then verify :)

Why not? Anyway... The only thing I HAD in my mind was that the application was looking for a folder in C:\programs files\... and not in C:\programs files(x86)\... but this happens only on 64bits version... The only thing I can suggest you is to open a topic on "social technet" of Microsoft... MAYBE somebody know how to resolve this.

???

mhhhh lovely... perhaps there's something wrong with the service itself... can you test on another server?

Systemstate backup is a SYSTEM STATE BACKUP. So, 10GB are not too much... anyway, take a look at this article: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc753359(WS.10).aspx if you want to be able to backup ONLY the AD, I think you should buy 3rd part software...

remote access... which protocol? FTP? RDP?

no idea... is your OS x86 or x64?

You can merge 3 domains into 1 or merge 3 domain controllers into one... If you want ONE domain controller (yeah, more then one but basically each of them will do the same thing), you must pay attention because of network traffic. That means you can have 10gb of ram but your DC may be slow. The bottleneck is (are) CPU and/or NIC. Is not important (just for now) HOW to migrate from 2k3 to 2k8, first you must understand WHAT do you want to do. Why do you have 3 domains? And why do you want to merge them? When you say CONSOLIDATE, it means you want something like: domain1.MYDOMAIN.LOCAL, domain2.MYDOMAIN.LOCAL, domain3.MYDOMAIN.LOCAL or something like: domain.domain1.com, domain.domain2.com, domain.domain3.com?

Take a look here: http://forums.iis.net/t/1149324.aspx At the end he says: "The issue is resolved. I did not have Windows Auth enabled. All is well now."

the command is: wbadmin start systemstatebackup -backupTarget:f: not: wbadmin start systemstatebackup -TargetBackup:f:

IF and only IF the program can work with IIS 7, it looks like it's watching inside the wrong directory... not a big help but... well, I'm not aware of frontpage extension... but I assume there are newer version instead of 2002!

Mh... sophos... it sounds like a japanese food... eheheh anyway... try to TEMPORARLY disable the japanese food (ahahah) and see if something changes.

Sorry... You have 3 domains: dom1, dom2, dom3. Which are SEPARATES. You want ONE domain: MyNewDomain. It will contain all the "old" 3 domains... right? dom1, 2 and 3 are running on Windows... 200? How many users do you have?

hi. 1) Your question is not really understandable... anyway... if I have problems with logon process, first of all I need to determine if I'm trying to login into a domain or locally. If on domain: check network settings (DNS and so on), if locally: maybe the account has been locked. Second, I will check permissions and so on. 2) You can backup (or better, COPY) files while they're in use... 3) If you don't use disk quota, a user could use all the space available. Now, let's say you have 10 users, each user has its own holiday's pictures, each picture is 15 MB and each person has 20 pictures. 20 pictures * 10 users = 200 pictures * 15 MB = 3000 MB = 3 GB well... not bad having 3 gb of photos on your file server... with quotas you can easily decide how much space can use a single (or group) of users.

I didn't watched that video, anyway, make sure both firewalls (clients and server) are permitting connections.

Are you sure that there's no firewall blocking your connection or another software which scans something? Nod32 has a little problem with the option SCAN NETWORK DRIVE, if it's enabled, it may take up to 2 min to open a file...

Hi, There're just 2 things you can do: 1) Disable IPv6 (if not needed) and exclude the program (and its path) from AV, Firewall and others. 2) If the point #1 doesn't help, you can't do anything else. The problem is the program itself, it probably uses some "old" call which can be processed by Srv 2k8 but slower than Srv 2k3. I say this because I wrote a "dummy" program which opens a connection to SQL and shows results with graphs and so on... on Srv 2k3 everything worked fine, in Srv 2k8 it was simply painful. The problem was a f.... call of a routine that was "deprecated" by MS...

Hi, I can remember I had to install 5 server with 2 NICs one called LAN and the other Storage. I done it as you said and I had the same problem. From what I can remember there wasn't a solution, the problem seems to be the timing when windows enumerates NICs. If you find any solution, please share with us.
