What to do when a PDC to Windows Server 2003 fails

What to do when a PDC to Windows Server 2003 fails,

We have already installed additional domain controllers to replicate with the PDC, but after that the Principal domain controller only not the system slows down and you get it working again. What is the fastest way to recover all the information that was in the CDP. Is there a way to retrieve all the information stored in the PDC without having to reinstall everything again.

  • Client Windows 7 Professional DNS fails to resolve the name - when connectin to a Windows Server 2003

    A professional Windows 7 workstation is unable to resolve the name when connecting to a Windows Server 2003 server.

    I ran the Portqry tool and discovered a problem with the Port 53 and open this Port in the Windows Firewall on the client and Windows Server 2003.  However, it may not always resolve the name and I can't get the Windows 7 workstation to join the domain.

    Our DNS server is at the ISP, but enabled DNS on Windows Server 2003.  I can ping the IP address of the server from the Windows 7 client

    nslookup is solved using the FULL domain name.

    Any ideas on other settings, I need change and port that I need to open to allow?

    Hi Mordi26:

    This could be because windows server 2003 is not updated with the latest version of the Terminal Server client. With terminal services client 6.0 update... It should solve the problem. Here is the link to download:

  • Windows Server 2003 (64-bit), Terminal Server has 2 mouse pointers when you connect via RDP

    I recently reinstalled one of our Terminal Server Windows Server 2003 (64-bit) servers.
    When you connect via RDP, I get 2 mouse pointers. One seems to be the pointer to the session that changes of hourglass, etc... and the pointer remains under the arrow.

    I have all the updates that are installed.
    There is no options on the RDP settings like what I use on other RDP to the other Terminal server sessions and is not on any other I RDP server on my client.

    I connected as other RDP clients and get with the same problem, is not a customer number
    Is there a setting on the server to disable this option?

    How can I remove the pointer that does not change in the session?

  • FTP connection times out on Windows Server 2003 when you run Windows Firewall

    This seems to come up recently, perhaps with a recent Windows automatic update.

    I have FTP server running on Windows Server 2003 R2.

    The NIC has the firewall Windows is activated, which allows port 21 (FTP) through.

    When you use an FTP client from a workstation, the FTP client expires when you navigate to a folder with many files, say the folder/images of a website with 10 + MB in total (which isn't really that much). Navigate to other folders with smaller files seems fine.

    Now, when I turn off the firewall of the server, then I can use a FTP client on a workstation to access any FTP folder regardless of the number of files or the size of files and everything is fast fast.

    This brings me to the conclusion that the problem lies in the Windows Server 2003 firewall, and we must have this option disabled for FTP clients do not expire.

  • Virtual machines, run extremely slow when the console is consulted 2 virtual machines Windows Server 2008 64-bit, Windows Server 2003 32-bit, 2 VMWare for virtual machine

    I'm in a difficult situtaition here.  I am the daily contact with a new client.  My linux guy, who is also my boss who is very busy, asked me to do some research trying to find answers for what's not on this server. We have a dual Quad Core 2.5 Ghz Lenovo server with 10 GB of ram.  2 500 GB hard drives are Raid 1.  We run Virtual Server VMWare 2 on a Debian with Gnome installation as a user interface for the side of things Linux.  Grub is the boot loader. There are two virtual machines running on the server.  The one machine that serves as a domain controller is a Windows SBS 2008 Server 64 bit, and the secondary machine has no responsibility domain.  The second machine is a Windows Server 2003 32-bit.  the 10 GB of ram 6 GB is allocated to the SBS server and 4 GB to the 2003 server.

    The problem I am running into is that everything is so slow, especially if I connect remotely to do any sort of administration on the network.  Some examples of issues I've noticed is that as soon as I log on the server via Remote Desktop SBS console management Windows Server spike to 80-95% CPU usage and it will not stop unless I close the management console.  Another instance is that if I open Backup Exec 12.5 on the SBS server it will kill the speed of the processor as well.  Long story short, there are a lot of machine to do what we need to do, but something is not configured right and non of us know what it is.  Another point to note is that the server has been in production for about 3 weeks, and the server seemed to have locked up just twice.  My professional guess is that over time, some chose thing is eating causing the crash of the memory.

    Sorry I do not have much technical insight on this topic, but this is the best I have to offer.  Any questions you all have, I'll ask my people and see if I can answer, but I could really use your help here.

    Thank you in advance,

    Heath

    2 things:

    1 you really need hard drives more than 2 in a RAID 1 for proper performance under load. More disks the better. Although I don't think that's what your problem is, he'll probably be the problem Next you will do.

    2. I don't know exactly where the configuration file is on your box of Debian for VMware Server, but you should consider adding the following options in the configuration file (on windows, it's the vmware 'config.ini'):

    prefvmx.minVmMemPct = "100".

    MemTrimRate = 0

    sched.mem.pshare.Enable = "FALSE".

    mainMem.useNamedFile = "FALSE".

    If you do some research, you can read about what these options (the largest is the memory page sharing - it should only be left on if you have a bunch of similar virtual machines running on the same box, that you don't have.) I honestly know why this is on by default, he kills the CPU when virtual machines are running different operating systems). These are the options that I now use standard in VMware Server deployments, with huge performance increases after you have added the. Just give a try.

    Edit: Also make sure that you have installed in your virtual machines VMware tools.

  • Language in grayed when installed on the English version of Windows Server 2003

    Hello

    I have a problem during the installation of Adobe Reader software using the suite of packages:

    Turkish AdbeRdr1010_tr_TR.exe

    Turkish AdbeRdr11000_tr_TR.exe

    Chinese AdbeRdr11000_zh_CN.exe

    Chinese AdbeRdr1010_zh_CN.exe

    Greek AdbeRdr10110_el_GR.exe

    I tried to install their (a) on the Windows Server 2003 (English version). They install without error but when I try to launch them they come with the dialog box to select the English language and of required languages are unavailable / greyed out.

    (For the Chinese language I 'Control Panel > regional and Language Options > languages tab > install files for East Asian languages checked ').

    How can I activate these languages so that Adobe Reader software would result in the language that I need.

    Kind regards

    In the case where if someone had the same problem, here is a solution:

    Go to the window > Control Panel > regional settings > Advanced tab.

    Set the field under: "Select the language that matches the version of non-Unicode programs you want to use" to the language you want to use.

    Apply the changes.

    Windows may require a restart.

    Go to Adobe reader and in language settings, change the option to choose the language at the start of adobe.

    When you re-breakfast Adobe language you need should be available.

    I just increase the disk size of Virtual Machine from 80 GB to 150 GB successfully. The next thing to do is to repartition the disk size of Guest OS Windows Server 2003 in 150 GB.

    What are the specific steps to increase the size of Guest OS Windows Server 2003 disk?

  • What support VMware Windows 7 as a guest host and Windows Server 2003 as the operating system operating system?

    People,

    Hello.

    Because my laptop is preinstalled Windows 7 and cannot dual boot multiple operating systems. I need to install VMware in Windows 7 host and then install Windows Server 2003 as a guest operating system.

    I installed VMware Server 2.0.2 in Windows 7 and Windows Server 2003 operating system as a guest host. Everything works fine for a while. But VMware Server Home Page https://mylaptop:8333 / IU cannot display more.

    I found that Windows 7 is not a host for VMware Server 2 and strange operating system might happen at any time. I found that 'VMware Player 3' is fully supported in Windows 7 as host operating system but is not taken in charge of Windows Server 2003 as a guest operating system.

    People knows what product VMware Windows 7 support as host operating system and Windows Server 2003 as the operating system prompted?

    Thanks in advance

    Hello

    IMHO, I think that Workstation is the vmware product just for you, the requirements

    It supports Windows 7 as a facilitator and Windows 2003 as a host with no problems. You can be confident about it at 100%.

    Best wishes / Saludos.
