• Windows Server 2008 R2, with two Windows Storage Server 2003 Standard: How can I add the MAC authentication on top of Active Directory authentication for a storage servers?

  I have two running Windows Storage Server 2003 storage servers in a domain R2 Windows Server 2008 Standard.  On top of the Active Directory authentication, I want to add authentication of MAC address for the access to one of the storage servers.  In this scenario, an authenticated user is unable to log on to the target storage server unless the user is also on one of the computers MAC address accepted.  All domain users will have access to other folders and files as configuration storage server in Active Directory.  I already have a user access to installation by the permissions for folders on the storage server target, but I still want to restrict access to specific computers as well.  For what it's worth the server hardware is HP Proliant DL360 G5 for the Standard Server 2008 R2 and server HP Proliant DL185 G5 for two Storage Server 2003 computers.  I don't want to have MAC address authentication as the main means of access control to the network, only for the storage server a as an addition to control Active Directory.

• 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.

• What product Vmware is the best for several Windows Server 2003 and 2008 implementation

  Hi all

  I am just wondering that if I installed VMware on Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition and Windows Server 2003 Enterprize edition on VMware I was able to use more Ram installed, our server have 48GB of Ram but Server 2003 Standard allows only 4 GB max to use, to save money, I was wondering just if I can use the way I mentioned above.

  Looking at it, I think you have a misconception about the limitations of VMware, RAM and operating system. Your problem is that you see no more than 4 GB of RAM on your x 86 Server 2003 install? This is a limitation of the operating system - to use more RAM you need an operating system that can deal with the RAM.

  • If you install VMware Workstation on Windows Server 2003 standard x 86 edition then you will only be able to use the 4 GB of RAM, Windows Server 2003 Standard x 32 can process.

  • If you install VMware Workstation on Windows Server 2003 standard x 64 edition then you will be able to use the 32 GB of RAM that Windows Server 2003 Standard x 64 can process.

  • If you install VMware ESX, you can adjust your full 48GB of RAM and install multiple instances of Win 2003 Svr Standard, each of which can address 4 GB of your memory live available.

• Windows Server 2003 R2 vs. 2008 R2 vs. 2012 as a file server

  I use Windows Server 2003 R2. We have about 100 PCs that are connected to this server and using the network connection. We are planning to upgrade to the latest version. While I was looking for the comparison between Windows Server 2003 R2, R2 2008 and 2012.

  All items talk about new features like Hyper-V, Hyper v Replica, Active Directory, IIS etc. But I'm not using one of these. I mainly use it as a file server. So, I need to know the comparison of features related to it.

  How are the 3 versions different server?

  I heard that data deduplication is main feture of windows server 2012.Does it only reduce the file size when it is in drive? Or he gets advantage for network traffic when he copied the complete network of another way? Fact that these data are supported in windows XP in network

• Windows Server 2003 on the HARD IDE in Mode ATAPI drive?

  Hello!
  My problem is that I want to know if a HDD IDE will run in Mode ATAPI.

  More details >

  There is a motherboard of INTEL S5000 VSA server in the office. He already had Win 2003 and everything was fine until the HARD drive crashed and the people replaced by an a SCSI maintenance (I don't know if he had a SATA, SCSI or an IDE HDD previously). After installing new HARD drive, they were not able to install Win server 2003 and went for 2008. Windows Server 2008 creates problems for us and the maintenance people are also confused and unresponsive to the situation.

  We have Windows Server 2003 R2. The motherboard has only one IDE port but scored the "working mode" as ATAPI. I was wondering if I could just attach an IDE HDD and install Win Server 2003 R2 (since win 2003 supports SATA out-of-the-box)

  (Displayed in the section of WIN XP as Win 2003 sharing the same base with XP, XP users can comment too)

  http://www.Intel.com/CD/channel/reseller/APAC/Eng/products/server/boards/DP/S5000VSA/feature/index.htm#specifications

  If a geek myself, I'm not very educated when it comes to servers. a Google search also did not help. I would be grateful if someone can help out me.

  Thank you
  Chirag.

  Yes it will install and work fine on an IDE hard drive, ATAPI devices are all IDE drives.  The downside is that the reader will be much slower than the SCSI on a busy server, which can be a big disadvantage.

  For all its value that they probably could not install Server 2003 on the SCSI disk because they weren't using the method of F6 to provide drivers SCSI on a diskette or that they could not understand or how their wake worth installation CD.  There is no need of such a monumental lapse, notwithstanding the limitation INT-13 NT4 Server installed on SCSI and Server 2003 installs on SCSI providing that you give appropriate when installing drivers.

• Windows Server 2003 r2 to the Horizon

  Hi everyone, we are running out of sight Horizon 5.3.0 build-1427931, works very well for OS al lthe modern we attached, end user connects via a Wyse Zero Client P45.

  We have an obligation to run a number of VMs of Windows Server 2003 r2, and I would include these in the field of the view of the Horizon as they should be used as workstations in training. Agent 5.3 is not compatible with this version of Windows, I'm looking for suggestions on how best to achieve this requirement. A previous, compatible Agent version HV work?

  The current alternative thinking is to build a basic Windows 7 or 8 comments with the agent of the HV and run an RDP session off the 2003 server machine. The only downside is that it doubles the amount of machines, I need running.

  Any ideas or suggestions are welcome!

  Kind regards

  Tim

  2003 R2 can be used only as a source of server terminal server in sight. You can run 2008 R2 VM as sources with a view Desktop 5.3, but otherwise you should use the versions of desktop operating system.

• Quosmio G20-106: issue of Windows Server 2003 and the Fn keys +.

  I installed Windows Server 2003 on my Quosmio G20-106.

  After I installed all possible drivers and saving Toshiba download area, I have still 3 features in the "Other devices" section: eHome Infrared Tranciever, network card and the PCI device.

  In addition, Fn + keys do not work, I can not change the brightness.

  Any ideas?

  Hello

  Well, as far as I know the Qosmio G20 was delivered with Windows XP MCE.
  I found the drivers on the Toshiba site, and it seems they are designed only for Win XP and Win XP MCE. In this case, it is possible to s as the FN keys and other devices don't work.
  Nevertheless, it seems to install the LAN driver and modem driver.

• Tecra A10 - 12O: installing the driver network card in Windows Server 2003 R2 Std

  Hello

  I received 6 laptop Tecra A10 - 12O, and we need to install Windows Server 2003 R2 Standard Edition with SP2 in all these six machines. Windows Server 2003 has been installed perfectly, but now we have only the network LAN card to work but we are unable to install its driver. When I installed Windows XP from the supplied DVD for Toshiba, it says Intel 82567V Gigabit network adapter. I tried to download the drivers for this adatpor of drivers Toshiba, Intel Web site, but it will not install in Windows Server 2003. I also tried manually force to choose and install a driver from the list, I choose that it will install but shows yellow question mark in Device Manager means that it does not work with this driver.

  I also tried the same Intel 82567V drivers from some sites non-Toshiba, of these models using the same network card, but is not truck drivers at all.

  I understand these laptop computers does not support Windows Server 2003, but these were ordered to be used as servers with Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition and I am required to make the Installer only with activated and installed network adapter.

  I try last week and exhausted all means to get the installed network adapter driver, but all have failed. Can someone please help with this? All support will be highly appreciated.

  Thank you.

  Hey Buddy

  If I m not wrong Windows Server 2003 uses the same drivers as Win XP and I guess that it s driver problem not a LAN, but perhaps also the problem of Windows Server 2003 installed.

  You are right; the LAN chip seems to be Intel 82567V and the LAN driver downloaded from Intel page should work 100%.

  In your case, I would recommend installing the chipset driver.
  Remove the LAN card from Device Manager, then restart the laptop.
  Then go back to Device Manager and update driver in pointing devices Manager to the place where the driver downloaded LAN was stored on the HARD drive.
