• Server crashes every few minutes - HP ML350 G4 running SBS 2003

  Dear all,

  We have a SBS 2003 server that has serious problems for a few weeks now. The problem is that the server hangs for a short period of time and comes back to life. Freeze happens several times per hour and lasts 50-60 seconds each time and then come back to life. During the freeze:

  • Users get the contextual ScreenTip in Outlook by saying that Exchange is trying to retrieve data.
  • Shared disks cannot be opened.
  • Data from the server recovery software also seem to be block/gel.
  • Desktop connection to the server remotely continues but cannot perform all actions (the mouse pointer moves but can't choose anything).
  • During the freeze period, the following events are generated in the system log:
  • Through logs event ID: 7011 always seems to be recorded at the time the freeze occurs. It is said, ' Timeout (60000 milliseconds) waiting for a response from the NtFrs service transaction'.
  • Also in the application log this error is found: event ID 17052 Source: MSSQLSERVER - Scheduler 0 (and other times 1) seems to be suspended. SPID 0, ECID 0, UMS 0x03640BC8 context

  • When the server is started, it takes 40 minutes on "computer application settings.
  • When the server is restarted or shutdown, it takes about 15-20 minutes.

  • The Task Manager shows the system idle process using 99% cpu.

  A bit on the server:

  OS: Windows SBS 2003 Premium Edition - SP2 with Exchange 2003 SP2, SQL 2000, SharePoint Services 2.0
  Hardware: HP ProLiant ML350 G4
  Smart Array 641 controller
  6 x 146.8 GB HARD drive (10K rpm), configured in 3 logical drives
  RAID 1 + 0 is used
  x 1 Intel Xeon 3.0 GHz processor
  4 GB of RAM installed - SBS 32-bit use only 3.5 GB

  Antivirus: CA Threat Manager

  Backup: Tape using software of Yosemite

  Diagnostics of hardware (using the diag HP tools) are no problem. Green LEDs appear on all hard drives 6. I have already updated all the device drivers and system firmware using the HP tools. HP Array Configuration Utility shows no problem at all. I've taken this with HP support, but eventually they said there is no hardware problems and I need to contact Microsoft.

  Help, please!

  Hello

  I calculated that it started happening since I followed the CA Tech suggestion on how to fix the CA anti-virus on the server to allow users to save documents directly to readers shared network. Fix of CA has its side effects. Over a period of 2 months, there are more than half a million 4 KB files generated in the folder Temp of Windows. Now temp was so complete in terms of number of files that whenever server had to do anything at the time it would freeze. Windows wouldn't let me empty the temp folder. It does not yet show the files. Only, we could see and calculate the files in DOS mode. UBCD4Win served and slip streamed with Windows XP Setup program to create a bootable file. After starting the server on the boot media, all Temp files have been removed from command line. It took more than an hour only to delete all these files. After emptying the temp started server within 10-15 minutes.

  Then, the next step was to find the program that has been the creation of 6 temporary files every minute. Explore processes and Process Monitor was used to identify the culprit. Is CA Host - based Intrusion Prevention Manager that was purchased as part of the package of threat Manager CA eTrust. It was found by using an instance of Java under a Wrapper process and the creation of hss_tmp * in C:\Windows\Temp .dat files. Disabling services CA HIPS resolved again filling of the temp. There is no problem of gel and server works very well.

  Deactivation of all the CA package has not prevented the freeze occurs because the temp folder too cultivated was still in place and SBS OS was always access them as well stop on time.

  I hope this can help someone in the future.

• Move ROW with dynamic disk to another virtual machine

  Hello

  I'm in a situation where I have to leave my RDM Win2003 VM to win2008, but the complexity and multiple physical RDMs here make only dynamic partition (RDM1 1.5 TB, RDM2 1.5 TB, is drive G RDM3 1 TB 4 TB),

  Now my question is if I can move this partition of G (which includes 3 disks RDM) again an another VM (win2008)

  Thanks, SD

  Hello

  This does not resemble a specific question VMware.  On the contrary, seems like a question of Microsoft Windows.  Just make sure the hosts on which the virtual machine of 2008 runs can see the same ROW and follow this procedure to remove dynamic disks of the virtual machine of 2003 and add them to the virtual machine of 2008.

  Move disks to another computer

  All the best,

• By aligning the dynamic disks

  Anyone know if this version offers the possibility of an alignment of the dynamic disks on Windows 2003?

  / SB

  Well, the dynamic disks are not preserved during the function clone (unlike LVM) volume and partition alignment is possible only in the volume based on cloning, so unfortunately, the answer is 'no '.

• VMware converter 4 support for partitions on dynamic disks

  I currently have a server physical windows 2003 which has its system and data partitions defined as dynamic disks (C and D partitions lie on disk 0-dynamic) not well why it's set up this way, it was built just like that.

  The goal is to convert this virtual server and I read many forums stating that dynamic disks are not supported for vmware converter, but some cases have succeeded where the target score was a record time-basic-but-now-dynamics.

  Is this the case? and if so, what alternatives can be tried to virtualize the server.

  Dynamic disks are supported for Windows.  The resulting virtual machine will only basic disks in a hot clone.

  I would just suggest that you make a clone of hot regular and do a slight reduction in the size of the disc resulting (even if it is 1 MB).

  Second, ensure that the system starts out of the c:\ partition and it is marked as a partition active and has a file boot.ini in the root.

  Kind regards

• Bootcamp converted to dynamic disk, now no windows without OS Macbook!

  Hello

  I converted accidentally Bootcamp (Windows 7 64 bit) the dynamic disk while I was inside Windows.

  Now, after the start of the only option I get is 'Windows', but 'Macbook' and 'Value' disappeared!

  When I choose Windows, it won't start. Windows Recovery stands up and says can not solve the problem.

  That's happened? What should I do now?

  I'm finished * off

  Thank you

  I forgot to add that no combination of keys doesn't work.

• HP recovery partition and dynamic disk!

  Just got my new laptop and added a partition of my HP pavilion dv7 WIN 7 64 bit and noticed disc was dynamic. I don't know if it changed the dynamics or as it was delivered. I'll always be able to use the recovery on the dynamic disk partition? And if I create recovery discs, they will work on the dynamic disk or will it convert back to base?

  It can work with Easus software, but I'm sure that you need to remove this extra partition before conversion back is possible.

  If you need an extra partition, look HERE page on the use of the recovery partition or delete to free up hard disk to create a new partition without conversion by burning a resumption of course the value of dynamic_after.

• Swing Migration SBS 2003 to SBS 2008, media-related questions

  -We are migrating swing of old material sbs2003 Proliant ML110 hardware new sbs2008 Proliant ML350G6.

  - http://www.sbsmigration.com/

  -To perform the swing a third temporary server pc is required loads with Windows Server 2003 from SBS2003 and exchange Server 2003 media component

  -The temporary pc in our case is a dell optiplex 745

  -The problem is that the original SBS 2003 media is HP brand and that it will not install on the Dell server.

  -Work around was to use a trial version of Windows Server 2003 that boats on the Dell, but this version will not allow the installation of Exchange Server 2003 to the SBS 2003 Media Disc 2.

  -J' contacted Microsoft for an evaluation version of Exchange 2003, but it is now discontinued.

  -Another work around to order a NO brand Media Kit of Small Business SERVER 2003, but Microsoft will not provide because my original media is OEM.

  -Another book is about finding a Proliant ML110 of second hand. It's expensive and not an option, considering how much this project has cost so far.

  At this point, I'm stuck in the migration process, suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

• SBS 2003 Win Update error 80072EFE

  When you search for new updates on a SBS 2003 server, I get an error 0x80072EFE code.  I saw several other posts about this error code, but none of their solutions helped.  So far, that's what I tried:

  1. Search for Rootkits, found nothing.
  2. Temporarily disabled Antivirus program.
  3. There is no proxy running on the server or the network.
  4. Renamed all of the subfolders of Windows\SoftwareDistribution\ (I'm not a big fan of deletion if I have to).
  5. Renamed Windows\Catroot2\.
  6. Make sure automatic updates, Intelligent Transfer background and Cryptographic Services are running.
  7. Make sure the date and time are correct.

  I'm really running out of ideas and this particular server is behind on updates.  I welcome and appreciate any suggestions you may have.  Thanks in advance...

• How to convert a dynamic disk to a basic?

  How to convert a dynamic disk to a basic? I can't really deleat the C and readers of the system, and if so, how?

  Hi Brad,

  Welcome to Microsoft Community and thank you for the query display.

  According to the description, it seems that you want to convert a dynamic disk to Basic.

  However, we need more information about the issue to help you better.

  Please help me to answer these questions.

  1 how many partitions are on the hard drive?

  2 is installed Windows on drive C?

  3. you have any operating system installed on the hard drive?

  To convert the dynamic disk to basic, here are some steps that you can try.

  You can try to convert the dynamic disk drive basis (except your drive C :) using the Diskpart.exe in the command line. By following these steps, you can avoid reinstalling Windows XP. But if you want all the hard disk as a single partition, then proceed as follows.

  Note: Before formatting the hard drive or perform the steps, back up your data to an external storage device.

  Steps to convert dynamic disk to basic
  

  a. press Windows key + r on the keyboard and in the immediate window, type cmd.exe

  b. in the command prompt and type D iskpart .

  c. at the Diskpart prompt, type list disk . Note the number of the disk you want to convert to dynamic.

  d. at the Diskpart prompt, type select disk . (select the dynamic disk you want to convert.)

  e. at the Diskpart prompt, type clean to remove all volumes on the disk.

  (f) then, at the Diskpart prompt, type: convert base to begin to restore the disk to basic training.

  Respond us if you have any queries with hard drive problems and we will be happy to help you.

• Y we can convert dynamic disk to basic again after having already converted to dynamic?

  We all know that the default value of the hard drive is (Basic) and some timed Let's convert in cuz our uses (dynamic), my question is how can we convert in new Basic or it's impossible?

  Thank you

  It could be the case that you cannot remove the active OS partition / volume.  If this is the case, try to create a "Hirens Boot CD" and the start of this CD.  In the first start screen, choose "Mini XP.  Once it starts, follow the instructions in the following article:

  "To change a dynamic disk to basic disk back.
    <>http://www.Microsoft.com/resources/documentation/Windows/XP/all/proddocs/en-us/dm_revert_disk.mspx?mfr=true >

  To create a Hirens Boot CD, download the ".zip" file extract in a folder and double-click the ".cmd" file within the archive extracted.

  You will need to re - install windows after you complete these steps.
