The Solution Rating System
|
|
| With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating. - The Grade of the Solution
- The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
- The Number of Author and Expert Comments
- The Number of Experts Contributing
- The Feedback of the Community
Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site. If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support. Thank you! |

Asked by frankmcc in Windows 2003 Server, Hard Drives & Storage, Microsoft, Microsoft Windows Operating Systems
We have a USB external hard drive attached to a Windows 2003 Server. This drive was attached to accommodate backups of our SQL server databases because we simply were running out of room. The problem is that every time the server is restarted, which is done automagically every Wednesday and Sunday, the drive does not come back unless it is unplugged from the USB port and plugged back in.
This is a somewhat older server, so we had to add a PCI USB 2.0 card to accommodate this drive. The drivers for this card are current as are the drivers for the external hard drive.
Does any one have a suggestion as to how we can prevent this or possibly a script that will force it to be recognized without someone having to physically unplug then plug the device back in after the restart is complete?
