Hi,

If there's anyone out there that can think back far enough, I have a friend that's still using SBS 2003.  At some point last week it disappeared off the network.  We did manage to get it back on the network by using an alternative onboard NIC, but since then multiple services refuse to fire up.  There are multiple error codes, all seem to point at dependancy issues.  Among many, the Workstation Service does not start, along with many of the Exchange Services.  Has anyone experienced something like this historically and resolved it?

Hello everyone,
I'm having an issue installing Exchange 2010 in my Virtual environment.
I have taken over an already created old 2003 exchange environment and domain that I'm struggling getting rid of. Originally, our 2003 exchange server was hosted on a physical server environment which I converted to virtual and got rid of most of the physical servers. Today, I'm getting a bunch issues installing exchange 2010 due to Operation Mode (option grayed out) and controllers. To be honest, I never faced a situation like this where I had to migrate mailboxes from exchange 2003 to 2010 and I would really appreciate some step by step guidance. Thank you in advance!

Is there an option by which I can create a Sharepoint 2003 account (preferably online)?

Hi,
I have 2 Windows 2003 domain controller.
And when a user computer boots, it can get either the dc1 or the dc2 has a authentication dc.
When they get dc2: they are able to see the whole DFS tree.
But when they get dc1: they see no folder in the trees.

When I look at my DFS Consol: I see my domain \\m.local\DossiersMaitres and the root target all says CHECK OK

I'm not to sure what is the relation between the dfs consol and the kinda virtual shares located on each servers but ...
But if I open the remote share of the dc1 \\srv-max\DossiersMaitres = it is empty
When I open the remote share \\srv-fs1\DossiersMaitres = I see all the little shortcuts.

So I guess the problem lies right at this discrepancy.
Could be relate to the "Distributed File System Replication"

One of my small business clients, who I haven't worked with in years just had a major problem today.

They are a Comcast business class customer.  Today, Comcast came in an replaced their cable modem without warning.  The currently have this environment:

Windows Server 2003 R2
Exchange Server 2007

There are only three people working there.  

I had a port forwarding table set up in their old Comcast router that forwarded these ports:
25 - Email
80 - Web (for OWA)
3389 - for Remote Desktop

When the installer switched out their modem, I had to set up the same ports to be opened.  That seemed to work fine, however DNS seems to be a problem.

The local users require the Windows Integrated AD DNS for Exchange to work from Outlook, but their web browsing is painfully slow.

The Windows Server is the DHCP and DNS server.

Prior to this, I had DNS forwarding working just fine.

The server is 192.168.1.2 and the router is 192.168.1.1.  The new Cable Modem / Router has the same IP address as the old one.

IT seems that the forwarding through Windows DNS isn't working.  If I use the Modem's DNS as the DNS for each user, they can open web pages on the Internet very quickly, but they cannot log onto Exchange.  If I make the Windows Server as the primary DNS, the Exchange works, but surfing the web crawls to a halt.

Any hints on what I may have missed?

Thanks!

Hi, finally got the green light to do away with a 2003 server.
incumbent IT provider set this up for them.

their desktops are influenced by folder redirection GP for:
application data
desktop
My Doc
My Pic
Start menu

I ran the rsop.msc and it identified the default domain policy\user configuration\win settings\folder redirection, associated to group everyone and the unc path it refers to for each category, which is great. however i cannot find any entries for anything in the default domain policy.

went to aduc, right clicked on the domain, properties, group policy tab. i see default domain policy, choose edit  there are no entries under user configuration\win settings\folder redirection for the influenced folders of folder redirection

the goal is to move these source folders to a new server but can't until i figure out how to redirect it to the new place through the group policy its using..

appreciate the assistance
