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 stullhe104 in Active Directory, SBS Small Business Server, Windows 2003 Server
I have an SBS2003 Domain Controller that has been working fine for several years now. Yesterday I decided to move the PageFile from C: to D: because I was running low on C: disk space.
To do this I went into the Virtual Memory settings, changed C: to No Paging File, changed D: to System Managed Size and then rebooted the server.
Since this reboot nothing is working properly. Workstations take 5 times longer to boot because they stall for 10 minutes at "Preparing Network Connections". Event log entries at the workstation say that no DC was found. DHCP fails but if I assign a static IP I can ping the DC and get my SQL Server apps to run. Attempts to map a share on the DC fail. No error message, they just never get mapped and you have to close Windows Explorer down. DNS is working fine as I can ping the DC's computer name from teh workstation and the response is fine.
Event log entires on the DC say that there is a critical error reading a group policy file (I'm sorry that I don't have the exact error message here). I cannot RDC to the server because after entering credentials it goes to a gray screen and never displays the desktop.
Attempts to access the Domain Controller Security Policy or Domain Security Policy consoles fail. I have moved the PageFile back to C: but that has not corrected the issue.
