Can email and website be on two different servers?

Mon, 30 Nov 2009 16:13:35 Z

My company wants to host their own email (Microsoft Exchange) and their own website, but they want them to be on two different servers with two different external ip addresses. Is this even possible? I don't know if it is because the dns client I use (free.editdns.net) has to use a domain name (not an ip address) to create an mx record. The way I have other servers set up is email and website are one the same server. Is it possible to have email and web hosted on two different servers with two different external ip addresses? If so please advise me on how I could accomplish this. Thanks.

Windows 2008 Server Application Log Source Blank

Mon, 30 Nov 2009 17:01:37 Z

When I open the eventvwr on an XP pc and connect to a Windows 2008 Server and look at the event log the application log source is blank. If I open the event I can see the source and all the information.

If I RDP to the Windows 2008 and open the eventvwr I can see the source in the list.

Very Strange.

MMC settings in Windows Server 2008

Mon, 30 Nov 2009 13:59:53 Z

Hello,

I am trying to change the default look/layout of some of my MMC applets in Windows Server 2008. This used to be a simple thing in previous OS versions: right click on the applet, select author, make layout changes, save.

In w2k8 server, when I select author, save is still grayed out. Save as doesn't work either. I have read some articles discussing this, with a number of suggested steps (like File/Options/unckeck the "don't allow save" box). I have not found any method that has worked yet.

Can anyone help me with what used to be a very simple task?

Thanks.

Issue with winrm INVOKE for GetFcpTargetMapping method

Mon, 30 Nov 2009 10:52:58 Z

I am trying to INVOKE GetFcpTargetMapping method of MSFC_HBAFCPInfo class using winrm on a Windows 2008 R2 (64 bit OS) machine.

The signature of GetFcpTargetMapping method is

void GetFcpTargetMapping (
[in, HBAType("HBA_WWN")] uint8 HbaPortWWN[8],
[in ] uint32 InEntryCount,
[out, HBA_STATUS_QUALIFIERS ] HBA_STATUS HBAStatus,
[out] uint32 TotalEntryCount,
[out] uint32 OutEntryCount,
[out, WmiSizeIs("OutEntryCount")] HBAFCPScsiEntry Entry[]
);

The command used is,

winrm invoke GetFcpTargetMapping "wmi/root/wmi/MSFC_HBAFCPInfo?InstanceName=PCI\VEN_10DF&DEV_FE00&SUBSYS_FE0010DF&REV_02\4&1a67bb55&0&0020_0" -file:input.xml -format:pretty

I am passing HBA WWN and InEntryCount in the input.xml file.

<p:GetFcpTargetMapping_INPUT xmlns:p="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wbem/wsman/1/wmi/root/wmi/MSFC_HBAFCPInfo">
<p:HbaPortWWN>16</p:HbaPortWWN>
<p:HbaPortWWN>0</p:HbaPortWWN>
<p:HbaPortWWN>0</p:HbaPortWWN>
<p:HbaPortWWN>0</p:HbaPortWWN>
<p:HbaPortWWN>201</p:HbaPortWWN>
<p:HbaPortWWN>54</p:HbaPortWWN>
<p:HbaPortWWN>13</p:HbaPortWWN>
<p:HbaPortWWN>208</p:HbaPortWWN>
<p:InEntryCount>7</p:InEntryCount>
</p:GetFcpTargetMapping_INPUT>

The ouput that i get from winrm is given below,

<p:GetFcpTargetMapping_OUTPUT xml:lang="en-US" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001
/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:p="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wbem/wsman/1/wmi/root
/wmi/MSFC_HBAFCPInfo" xmlns:cim="http://schemas.dmtf.org/wbem/wscim/1/common">
    <p:HBAStatus>5</p:HBAStatus>
    <p:TotalEntryCount>0</p:TotalEntryCount>
    <p:OutEntryCount>0</p:OutEntryCount>
</p:GetFcpTargetMapping_OUTPUT>

If the method invocation is sussessful, it is expected to return an OutEntryCount greater than zero and an array of HBAFCPScsiEntry, representing each LUN on the target Array.

I am able to invoke the same method and get expected result using WMI Browser (and also VBScript). As i understand it, at least theoretically winrm can be used to query any data available in WMI repository. So I suspect this to be an issue with winrm layer.

My question here is, am i missing some winrm command options here?
In this case, Winrm has to invoke a method and serialize the entire result array into XML and send it to client. Is winrm capable of doing that?

What does the microsoft generic ipmi compliant device driver have to do with my fan speed on my server?

Wed, 26 Nov 2008 00:42:50 Z

Why does my fan speed on my server ramp up when I disable the microsoft generic ipmi compliant device in Windows 2008 64-bit Standard? If I disable the IPMI driver and I look in the the SEL in the BMC it shows that Fan 4 (Sensor 53) drops below the lower critical so my BMC ramps up the fans. When I enable the driver and then reboot the system runs normally.

What is the IPMI driver in Windows 2008 doing to keep my fan speed normal that does NOT happen if the driver is not enabled?

Services on a domain controller

Wed, 25 Nov 2009 13:22:48 Z

Hi,

Is it possibe to delegate permission to start/stop services on a domain controller remotely without domain admin account ? When I try to connect to a DC via services.msc I am getting Access Denied. I'd like to delegate control to one group to be able to control some of the services. I know I can do that using GPO but at the moment the group is not able to see any services at all.

Many thanks for your help.

Print management console

Fri, 16 May 2008 17:56:38 Z

I am currently running RSAT tools on my Vista PC. We only have WS20003 and WS2003 RC2 servers up and running right now. But I didn't want to apply the backwards hacks to get the admin tools working from WS2003. I have recently begun using the print management console heavily since my roles have changed as a Network Engineer. I have noticed that not all printers will show up under a Print server in the console. The servers all have print server roles installed. I can see drivers, ports and forms just fine. But it won't list a single printer. At first I thought it was the subnets issue. But I can see some servers just fine regardless of what subnet they are on. There are no Firewalls between the Servers in question. And when I had another Engineer look at it, and install his own .mmc. He was able to see the printers just fine on his console for the ones I couldn’t. But then we noticed that I could see printers on Print servers that he could not. We have the same permissions and are on the same subnet and switch. Has anyone else ran into this issue. I tried googling and Live searching the heck out of it for an answer and the most I got was the firewall and subnet issue. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Configuring an automated SNMP installation using Ocsetup

Wed, 16 Apr 2008 18:32:22 Z

I want to get solution about Paul's Post...

-----------------------------------

Before Windows Vista / 2008, I successfully installed SNMP service from the
command-line using this command:

sysocmgr /i:c:\Windows\inf\sysoc.inf /r /u:"c:\test\snmp_cfg.txt"

Where "c:\test\snmp_cfg.txt" contained the SNMP configuration:
[Components]
NetOC=on

[NetOptionalComponents]
SNMP=1
[SNMP]
Any_Host=YES
Accept_CommunityName="public:Read_Only"
Community_Name="public"

I understand Windows Vista replaced sysocmgr with ocsetup. Although I can
install SNMP from the command-line by typing, "start /w ocsetup SNMP" I
cannot configure the community security settings as I did before.

I know the solution has something to do with the Ocsetup's unattendfile
option, but figuring out exactly how this xml file should be configured
eludes me.

Can someone provide an example of an unattend.xml file containing SNMP
configuration fields (Any host, Community Name Public and read-only)?

Thanks,
Paul

Server 2003 SP2 Cannot Install Print Management Console

Wed, 25 Nov 2009 20:05:41 Z

I was trying to manage my printers on this newly installed Server 2003 and I realized that the Print Management Console is missing under the Admin Tools...

After reading some of this posts, I certified that my Windows Server 2003 is really SP2 and Standard. Then I also tried to remove and add the Print Server Roles and when I'm adding again something weird happens: simply there is no "Install the Print Management Console" on the "Summary Selections" page, just an "Add Printer" option...

Any hints what it's going on?

Thank you very much,

Sergio

Event Log Subscription

Fri, 19 Dec 2008 04:51:37 Z

Found an issue while adding computers to the Source Computer Initiated - Subscription Type

Scenereo:

Multiple Domain network:

Domain.Local.1 with a NetBIOS name of Domain
Domain.Somewhere.Blah with a NetBIOS name of DomainBlah

(I am currently doing a migration from one domain to another so this is how I ran into this)

If I have a couple of computers named Server123 in Domain.Local.1
and a second computer named Server321 in Domain.Somewhere.Blah. <-- This is the one I want to Subscribe to events from

The collector I am using is Server 2008 and lets call it CollectorServer (clever huh!) and this is in the newer domain: Domain.Somewhere.Blah.

Note: WinRM is configured and has tested fine on all machines so I know this is not an issue

If Create a New Subscription, add a name, select Source Computer Initiated and try to add a server from the same domain Server321.Domain.Somewhere.Blah I keep getting an error of

"Domain\Server321 cannot be translated to a security identifier. It will not be added to the list."

From what I can see is that becuase Domain.Local.1 shows up first in the network listing (due to the name) and instead of searching by the FQDN, its trunking it down and finding a match, but its matching to the NetBIOS name of Domain instead of to the FQDN! Since Server321 does not exist on Domain, it is unable to get an SID so it fails.

If i grab Server123.Domain.Local.1, it works fine! (Except for the fact that this is the old domain that i'm trying to abandon, but will exist for a while as we finish transitioning and I don't want to wait for it to be taken dow to start setting this up)

So the question is this: Is this a bug? Am I just retarted and missing something? And/or can someone find a workaround?

(obviously the domains and names are fake, but the setup is exactly what I've been messing with for hours and no matter what I try I come up with the same results)

How to deploy wmi namespace security in domain, multlple servers?

Fri, 06 Nov 2009 16:14:26 Z

Hi,
I have a process that is doing remote monitoring via wmi. I am fully aware of the setting up the security and allowing dcom remotely.

My question is: is there any way to set WMI Namespace security across a domain or enterprise? I do not want to have to use an domain administrator user account for this monitoring, goes against the least privilege principle.

The only official microsoft way I can find is via wmimgmt.msc (see link http://support.microsoft.com/kb/295292).

It seems that this is very unfriendly to a large organization.

Microsoft iSCSI Target WMI

Mon, 23 Nov 2009 16:40:08 Z

Hello!

Is there any WMI classes for managing Windows Storage Server 2003/2008 iSCSI Software Target? Can I control it from Powershell perhaps? I haven't found any information about WMI/Powershell for Target, just for initiator.
We would like to manage targets and CHAP accounts from an ASP page. Is there any interface to do that?
If there isn't any for Microsoft iSCSI target, can you reccomend me an another target software, which is manageable through WMI or web service, or anything can be controlled from a web page?
Starwind has got only an MMC console unfortunately.

Thanks.

Internet Explorer major issues

Mon, 23 Nov 2009 04:48:24 Z

I have Internet Explorer 8, I am continually getting "Not Responding" notification, screen fading to white, and having to use task manager to shut it down. The other problem I am having is when ever I do a search for something (it does not matter what search engine I use) the page with the results will come up, but I can not do anything with that page after that, I can not close that tab, or click on any of the results and continue on to the next page. I am using Windows Vista Ultimate, and I have never had this problem before, and I have been using this setup for 3 yrs on this computer. All of this started about 2-3 weeks ago. It is very frustraing having to use task manager to close the program all the time after I have done a search for something. Can any one please help me??????

Emailing Critical errors in event viewer

Sun, 22 Nov 2009 00:55:05 Z

I've searched for this and come up with a lot of partial answers but nothing concrete.

I am trying to setup the server(several actually) to email me when there is a critical error in certain parts of the event viewer. Failed backup, hardware error, security issue,etc.

I've setup the SMTP server and that works because the RAID management software emails me no problem. I tried to setup an event that triggers an email to me but nothing comes through. It says its run but no email shows up. I know SMTP is config'd correctly.

I'm looking for this in script or portable form because I'd like to back feed it to all of our servers.

Thanks

How to disable Narrator

Wed, 01 Aug 2007 23:16:58 Z

Using Server 2008, I have tried Narrator once to see what it can do. Now I cannot disable the stupid, stupid thing. I have tried everything short from editing the registry. I have even tried to rename the narrator.exe, but you won't believe it: even as the administrator I cannot do that...only a trusted installer can. I dislike Narrator. Thank you for helping me to get rid of this little nuisance.

WMI viewing Win32_share - members of local administrators not seeing same property values as local Administrator

Fri, 20 Nov 2009 21:47:17 Z

Using wbemtest, if I connect to a remote machine as the remote machine local administrator and enumerate instances of Win32_Share, then double click a returned instance (say c$), I can see valid property values for Path and Type and everything is great and understandable.
If I connect to the same remote machine as a remote machine local user who is a member of the remote machine local administrators group and perform the same query then the propery values I see for Path and Type are NULL and I am confused.

What controls who is shown valid values for Win32_Share properties?

Allow Help Desk to ONLY reset user passwords

Tue, 17 Nov 2009 22:13:46 Z

I'd like to come up with a way for Help Desk staff to be able to change someone's password and/or unlock the user account if applicable. I'm hesitant to add them to the Account Operators built-in group since this would give them the rights to add/remove from groups, create or delete accounts and so much more that doesn't apply to their responsibilities.

A web interface for them to use or something other simple and small would be preferred. I know there are pricey 3rd-party apps that can compartmentalize system rights for user accounts, but first I'd like to explore simpler options.

I'm sure other shops have some type of Help Desk solution similar to this. Any comments would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks.

Trust - can't see objects in the other domain

Tue, 17 Nov 2009 10:49:54 Z

Hi

With reference to the following link.... http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/winserverDS/thread/42bcaa5e-6fff-4bea-af1a-01db0ff25624/

If you can't see the domain, how can you add a permission in to a share?

For example, domain A has a user jbloggs and jbloggs needs to be able to access a share on domain B. But on ADUC on domain B can't see the domain A in ADUC and therefore can't add jbloggs into the permissions.

So how do you do it?

Thanks

Bug (?) - KB969947 Breeds Event ID's 63 & 10154

Thu, 12 Nov 2009 22:44:59 Z

On our Windows Server 2003 R2 DC I received the following Warnings directly after Security Update for Windows Server 2003 (KB969947) was installed:

WinMgmt Application Event ID 63 "A provider, WinRMProv, has been registered in the WMI namespace, root, to use the LocalSystem account. [...]"
WinRM System Event ID 10154: THe WinRM service failed to create the following SPNs: WSMAN/%dns domain name%.local; WSMAN/%domain controller name%. [...] The error received was 8344: Insufficient access rights to perform the operation. User Action The SPNs can be created by an administrator using setspn.exe utility."

We also had a slew of similar WinMgmt Application Event ID 63 Warnings created directly after Security Update for SQL Server 2005 (KB970892) was installed, while attempting to add ReportingServicesWMI in a WMI namespace under the LocalSystem account. I came across reference to the latter Warning message in the Exchange Server 2010 subforum, but with no real solution.

The TechNet Library entry for Event ID 10154 claims to only apply to Windows 2008 Server, so I am wondering if these Warnings can be safely ignored, or is there some administrative action required like that described in the TechNet Library entry? I do see other users experiencing similar issues post-KB969947, but only with SharePoint or Exchange Server 2010, neither of which are running on this DC.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

WMI Generic Failure when accessing Win32_Product remotely

Sun, 09 Aug 2009 17:46:25 Z

I have been getting a WMI "generic error" (0x80041001) when attempting to enumerate Win32_Product on Windows XPSP3. This happens on approximately one-half of all wokstations.

I have run WMIDiag and fixed all issues but this has not solved the problem.

I have been getting a WMI "generic error" (0x80041001) when attempting to enumerate Win32_Product on Windows XP SP. This happens on approximately one-half of all workstations.

I have run WMIDiag and fixed all issues but this has not solved the problem.

All other classes appear to work correctly.

The WBEM\logs have no interesting items with detailed logging enabled except for the "generic failure" message.

After reviewing hundreds of messages on the web forums I see that this is a very common failure since Service Pack 3. Does anyone, especially anyone at Microsoft, have an solution for this?

I am sure that this has affected SMS at some point yet I find no SMS or MOM issues relating to this. Is it possible that Microsoft has released a patch for SMS/MOM systems.

I am sure that hundreds, if not thousands, of admins and users would appreciate a solution to this issue. Management of product versions (Adobe,Java, Flash, etc) is made very difficult when we cannot script retrieval of product version. This one WMI class has become a necessity for many admins. We need a fix.

Any ideas or references that I have missed?

Thank You.

Roaming Profile Access Deny (Server 2003)

Tue, 10 Nov 2009 16:47:44 Z

Hi everybody, I am new for administrating AD in server 2003, I work at a school. Recently I need to create a new user account for the teachers to logon but I encountered logon problem.

Firstly, I created a new user account called eac1 in server 2003 under the teachers group.

Secondly, I used a client workstation called PC A with Windows XP Professional SP3 to create the roaming profile environment. In Windows XP, I created a account called localadmin and gave this account with Administrators group rights and setup the enviroment.
I logon as administrator(local computer) to upload localadmin's profile to server 2003 with the following path:

path: \\domainname\profile\eac5
permission: everyone in domain

And then I set the NTuser.DAT to NTuser.man. (I don't want the users change the enviroment after logout)

But when the teachers logon with eac1 in 24 classrooms (Windows XP Professional) in the morning, some of the client PCs (around 3-4 PCs) pop up a error message box as the following:

"Windows cannot copy the file \\domainname\eac5\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\CD Burning\ to the location C:\Documents and Settings\eac1\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\CD Burning\ . This may due to network problem or security permission rights. If this problem continues, please contact your network administrator.

Detail information - Access Deny"

I tried the following methods to solve this problem, but failed.

1. Logon as administrator(local) in client PC, go to path C:\Document and Settings\eac1 and removed the eac1 folder,
then Logon as eac1, it logon successfully but the next day same problem encountered (Access Deny).

2. Logon as administrator(local) in client PC, go to path C:\Document and Settings\eac1 and removed the eac1 folder,
then in run the command gpupdate \sync and reboot the computer , and then Logon as eac1, it logon successfully but the next day same problem encountered (Access Deny).

3. Formatted the PC A and reinstalled the Windows the XP Professional and programmes, removed the CD Burning folder in C:\Documents and Settings\eac1\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\CD Burning\ then upload to server 2003 again, and run the command gpupdate \force in server 2003, but same problem encountered (Access Deny).

But there are some features I found out with this logon error:

1. When eac1 logon successful, the CD Burning folder in C:\Documents and Settings\eac1\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\CD Burning\ has three security permission members:

Administrators group(local)
SYSTEM group
eac1@domainname

2. When eac1 logon failed, the CD Burning folder in C:\Documents and Settings\eac1\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\CD Burning\ has three security permission members:

Administrators group(local)
SYSTEM group
localadmin@PC A

3. At Server 2003 C:\Profile\eac5, I can't find any folder called CD Burning

Is there any maximum connection limited to server 2003?

Can any administrator or expert help me to solve it? Thank you very much.

Disk Cleanup, cleanmgr.exe in Windows 2008 server WITHOUT desktop experience

Tue, 17 Mar 2009 14:49:17 Z

I would like to have cleanmgr.exe without installing desktop experience on my servers.

How could cleanmgr.exe even be put in the same category as Windows Media Player? To me cleanmgr.exe is an essential I.T. tool not a user experience enchancement.

Event ID: 1073 - "The attempt by user XX to restart/shutdown computer XYZ failed."

Can anyone please help in resolving this issue?

WMI Win32_ComputerSystem not displaying correct logged in user

Mon, 09 Mar 2009 21:01:19 Z

When attempting to display the current logged in user using WMI Win32_ComputerSystem.UserName I am getting odd results. If a user is logged in then it displays the user correctly. However, if a user is NOT logged in then the last logged in username is displayed. This is not consistent with how Windows 2000, XP, 2003, and even Vista handle this. They all return a null value if no one is logged into the system.

Is this a bug or is 2008 supposed to handle this WMI property this way?

Internet Explorer has stopped working- displayed when I close the window myself!

Sun, 02 Dec 2007 11:53:14 Z

Hi all,

I ahve a problem that I cannot figure out. When i close down an internet window, my screen turns white for a few seconds..... then am error message box appears, which says:

Internet Explorer has stopped working

Windows is searching for a solution to the problem...

Then if i click cancel, the browser window sometimes restarts; and if i leave it alone it displays another error message box saying:

Internet Explorer has stopped working.

A problem caused the program to stop working correctly; Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available.

This happens without fail, every single time I intentionally close down a window. Very annoying - can anyone help please?
