Access windows server 2003 from a local user machine (windows 7 pro)?

Is there a way to look up user accounts from a local machine running windows 7 pro without having to always go to the physical server itself?
The reason is the location of the server, a bit of an inconvenience.
It's a windows server 2003 btw.
Thank you,
Cris

Hi,
Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
Good to hear that you go it working.
In respect to your another question, it seems that you want to have with smart card technique for password without entering manual credential. Please check following article for information.

I am trying to remote into a Windows Server 2003 from a Windows 7 machine and having issues

I am trying to remote into a Windows Server 2003 from a Windows 7 machine. It says "The terminal server has exceeded the maximum number of allowed connections".
My first stop in trying to solve this problem was here:
[URL="http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows/command-line-hack-for-terminal-server-has-exceeded-the-maximum-number-of-allowed-connections/"]howtogeek.com[/URL]
And it says:
[I]
[INDENT]This problem happens because Windows only allows two remote terminal services connections when you are in administrative mode, and you’ve either got two people already on that server, or more likely, you’ve got a disconnected session that still thinks
it is active.
The problem with this error is that you have to actually get on the server console to fix the problem if the server isn’t in a domain. ([B]If you are in a domain, then just open Terminal Services Manager and log off or disconnect the sessions[/B])[/INDENT][/I]
So it seems to suggest that all I have to do really is to run the Terminal Services Manager but I cannot find it.
This web site from mssqltips.com [URL="http://www.mssqltips.com/sqlservertip/1981/remote-desktop-error-terminal-server-has-exceeded-the-maximum-number-of-allowed-connections/"](click here)[/URL] says all I need to do is first execute "mstsc /
admin" from the command line. But, when I do that, I get a message when I try to remote to the server, that says this: "To log on to this remote console session, you must have administrative permissions on this computer".
So, what now? What do you suggest?

Hi Bobby,
Yes, it is by design. By default, Windows Server only accepts two concurrent administrative sessions (Administrative Mode). It means that only two administrators can work on the server at
the same time.
If you would like more concurrent sessions, you need to purchase RDS CALs, install Terminal Services related server roles with proper configurations on the server.

Is it possible to use certutil to export multiple certificates from a local client machine store, to a .p7b file?

Is it possible to use certutil to export multiple certificates from a local client machine store, to a .p7b file?
Scenario: We have a few legacy certificates based on some legacy templates (2012 R2). Some belong to an old SubCA (2008 R2).
I’ve can manually export them using certmgr mmc on the local machine to a single .p7b e.g.
cert_backupNEW.p7b. But this is not a practical solution for me and I want to achieve this remotely via certutil or some other util that comes with Windows 7 machines.
I’ve already worked out how to run a certutil command to add the certs back into the store e.g.
certutil.exe -addstore -f my cert_backupNEW.p7b
Is there a way to export multiple certs to a single backup cert, or is what I’m trying to do not possible with multiple certs?
TC

Something like this:
$store = New-Object Security.Cryptography.X509Certificates.X509Store "my","localmachine"
$store.Open("ReadOnly")
Set-Content -Path exportedcerts.pfx -Value $store.Certificates.Export("pfx","password")
$store.Close()
note that this command will fail, if there are certificates with non-exportable keys. You cannot export certificates with non-exportable keys.

ICal server accessible from clients, but not from a local user...

So I've got iCal server running just fine, and the clients log in and work great.
However, when I try to connect to the iCal server from a user that's local to the server itself (i.e. a non-Admin user on the Mac Pro running the server software) I get Kerberos errors.
The user, while local, is also been added to the Directory via the Workgroup manager. And what's strange is that their login will work just fine when coming from a client, and will work just fine for things like the Wiki Server and such locally.
However, when we try to add an account to their iCal to let them see a Group's Shared Calendar and todos It asks for their Kerberos password, and then even if given a valid password for a valid user (that an outside client works fine with) it states that it can't find that user in the Kerberos.
Obviously I'm doing something wrong, but I haven't been able to figure out what. Any help would be loved!

Hi
Don't use Kerberos for the authentication method and it should work just fine.

Check IN a file from local user machine using Input file tag

Hi
We have created a webapplication using Oracle UCM. We have designed certain forms and want to give users an input field to upload images to content server.
I included a input type file tag in my form and on submit redirected to a JSPX.
I included on JSPX following tag when the form is submitted as follows
<wcm:idcService service="CHECKIN_NEW_FORM" var="fileUpload">
<wcm:idcParameter name="doFileCopy" value="1"/>
<wcm:idcParameter name="dDocName" value="Test_Aakash"/>
<wcm:idcParameter name="dDocTitle" value="Test_Aakash"/>
<wcm:idcParameter name="dDocType" value="Document"/>
<wcm:idcParameter name="dSecurityGroup" value="Public"/>
<wcm:idcParameter name="dDocAuthor" value="anonymous"/>
*<wcm:idcParameter name="primaryFile" value="C:/test.txt"/>*
</wcm:idcService>
I was hoping to pass primary path that a client will specify will allow the file to check in to the UCM server.But, to my dismay the tag expects that primary file be the path of file present on the Server and not on client machine accessing the webapplication.
How can I check in file from client local machine to UCM server. I found default IdcService=CHECKIN_NEW_FORM through web-application allows one to select primary file from his local machine. But, this not the case when i do the same using the tag above. Please help how can i achieve the desired result.
Thanks,
Aakash

RH7 - connection error when try to access RoboHelp Server 8 from Pod menu

I'm using RoboHelp 7 with WebHelp Pro layout to publish my project(s) to RoboHelp Server 8. I've got RHServer 8 set up and can view the Admin window when I access the server.
However, locally when I open my project in RH7, I get a "Connection to Server Failed" message below when I select View > Pods > RoboHelp Server and then click "Connect Now" on the RoboHelp Server tab.
Connection to Server Failed - The server you entered in the Properties dialog for the primary layout cannot be contacted. Please verify the spelling or contact your system administrator to verify the server is running.
This makes no sense because I'm able to view the project published to the server via File > View Primary Layout from Server.
I'm also able to publish my updated project files to the server without a problem.
FYI - I'm still testing RoboHelp 8 and when I select the RoboHelp Server option indicated above, I am able to view the Admin window prompts in RH8 on the RoboHelp Server tab.
So why can I see the Admin function in RH8 but not in RH7?

Hi,
Glad that somebody else too got this problem. Well, as I had mentioned in my previous posting too, I think there are some procedures in the package, dbms_lob, like the writeappend, createtemporary etc.. which is not found in my dbms_lob.sql file, I am using 8.0.5, but I found these procedures in the 8i, I think it is becos of that.
By the way if anybody got this solution and got any workaround, please help me too.
I am still waiting for the solution to that.

Problem accessing Sql server Procedure from Crystal with JDBC driver

I have some Crystal reports using SQL Server procedures, most of them are working very well; however, I have 2 that have problems accessing sql server procedures. These reports are working using OLE DB connection without problem, but when I try to relocate the connection to JDBC Crystal generates an error like that the procedure not return records.
The procedure is working with other products including OLE DB connections from crystal.
What can I do?
Thanks in Advance,
JaimeC

I am using:
Crystal report 11 - 11.0.0.1282 and Crystal 2008 = 12.0.0.683
SQL Server 2005 - Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Express 9.00.4035.00
Windows XP
I have discovered that the procedures create and work temporary tables. In other cases when is working ok, the procedures have not working temporary tables.
Thanks,

Migrating User Settings from one local user to another

I have an iMac running 10.5.4 with some issues (Parallels hanging at random moments). One of the tests I did to troubleshoot it was create a new user profile, and run the same (shared) Parallels machine as that new user, which seemed to fix the problem.
I would like to being gradually copying over user preferences & data from the old account to the new one, bit by bit, so that if one of those items is causing the problem with Parallels, we can catch it.
Is there a preferred way to copy or move over user settings from one local account to another on the same Mac? Basic files like Documents, etc. I know I can just drop into the Shared folder, but I am more concerned with Preferences, apps that use databases to point to files (like iTunes), and permissions.
Thank you!

V.K. (and anyone else who cares) - I finally figured out the problem: the mount point for the volume containing my Home directory ("Data") was changed by the system, but only on my primary startup volume ("System")... so when I booted from SystemClone everything was okay... but when I booted from System I had no account, no preferences, no nothing. Because the visible label on the volume containing Home was correct (even though the actual name - the mount point - was different), regardless of whether I booted from System or SystemClone, I assumed everything here was in order.
Bottom line: when booting from System, my Data volume's visible label read "Data" .. the path to Home directory under the account's advanced settings read "/volumes/data/directoryName" ... but my Data volume's mount point read "Data 1" .. when booting from SystemClone, my Data volume's visible label read "Data" .. the path to Home directory under the account's advanced settings read "/volumes/data/directoryName" ... and my Data volume's mount point read "Data" (so everything worked).
Lesson learned: don't assume.. check the mount point reference using Disk Utility.
Approach validated: if I didn't have a bootable SystemClone, I would have never been able to figure this out, and repair everything without rebuilding.

Public Folder access on Exch 2007 from exch 2013 user

I have an issue with my test user that I migrated from 2007 to exch 2013 being able to access public folders that reside on the 2007 server. 2007 users accessing public folders on 2007 have no issues. I have it narrowed down to autodiscover. Please see the
below exerpt from autodiscover. The "<PublicFolderServer>ex2013.accessDOMAIN.net</PublicFolderServer>" section shows that autodiscover is giving the name of the exchange 2013 server as the publicfolderserver
instead of the exchange 2007 server. My question is how do I reflect the correct server "Exch2007" on this autodiscover output?

First what I think is wrong is output filter should work on dynamic files and not static files like images.
I am unable to reproduce it even inside a web-app. We need your web-app to see whats happening. Can you reproduce it for every single request you send to he server? Can you run web server in log-level finest (change server.xml <log-level> element) so that we can know some more detials. Just send finest log for one request.
I was just checking the syntax of compression directives I found these examples, (underlined lines are new lines that should be added)
For dynamic compression :
=====================
<Object name="default">
NameTrans fn="assign-name" from="*.jsp" name="compress"
</Object>
_<Object name="compress">_
Output fn="insert-filter" filter="http-compression"
_</Object>_
Do not use this for static files.
There should be only one insert-filter directive. Why do you have two? That could be a problem.
For static compression :
=================
<Object name="default">
NameTrans fn="assign-name" from="*.html" name="find-compressed"
Service method=(GET|HEAD|POST) type=*~magnus-internal/* fn=compress-file subdir=".compressed-files"
Service method=(GET|HEAD|POST) type=*~magnus-internal/* fn=send-file
</Object>
_<Object name="find-compressed">_
PathCheck fn="find-compressed"
_</Object>_
Do not use this for dymanic files.
(if u dont have fn=compress-file line its ok it will just create a .gz file if not present in .compressed-files directory without this directive u need to keep pre compressed file in docroot for find-compressed to work)

Access Project Server 2013 from personal mobile device

Dear All,
This is something great about Project Server 2013 (PWA) where users can view theirs task & other information on their personal mobiles, tabs etc. But i not able to access my company Project Server 2013.
Is that i am missing something to install or configure PWA 2013 as i am admin for this application?
Kindly let me know

That means your PWA site collection in not published externally so your mobile device can't resolve the DNS. If you connect your mobile device to the same network your Project Server environment is on, it will work as the DNS would resolve. You probably
want to look at publishing PWA externally if you want to use it on mobile devices. Here are some links for you / your IT department, the process is the same for PWA and any other SharePoint site collection:

HIDE MSSQL Server information from all remote users

Hi Support,
We need to hide the MSSQL server version/product/edition information from remote users.
Kindly suggest us the relevent solution.
Thanks !

Hi Support,
I understand that we can't restrict @@version sql query.
But, we found one of scan reports of website which is able to identify sql version , any clues hows this been happening , is this due to SQL injection vulnerability only or anything else in site application of SQL server
directly allowing SQL version identification possible.
Please suggest can we create a condition / Policy using Facet >> server information under Policy Management in SQL Server. steps would be like :
1. Export facet 'server information' in .xml format.
2. Make changes in .xml file related to server information e.g; product/product level/edition/edition engine etc.
3. Import modified xml file as a policy / condition.
4. Evaluate the Policy.
We performed above steps but we are not able to view modified server information while scanning reports of website.
Can you please suggest if the above procedure can be done to change the server information ( server will be the same only

I added a windows 7 64 bit client to a server 2003 32 bit domain 3 weeks ago and file sharing was working fine until today, 5/4/12. Now, when trying to access shared folders that reside on the server,
I get the following "access denied" message:
[…folder…] is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this network resource. Contact the administrator of this server to find out if you have access permissions.
The user name could not be found.
Strangely enough...
The windows 7 client
can open shared folders that reside on the XP clients in the domain
All the XP clients in the domain can access the server 2003 folders
All the XP clients and the server 2003 machine can access shared folders and printers on the windows 7 client.
The windows 7 client can ping the server 2003 machine and vice versa
I can “see” the server in my network list, but when I click on it, I get the same “access denied” message listed above.
So... the only problem is that the windows 7 client cannot access folders that reside on the windows server 2003 machine. There must be some sharing setting that got changed
by a recent windows update.
Here is what I have done/verified so far on the windows 7 client:
In advanced sharing settings for Home/Work, Public and Domain profiles:
network discovery is enabled
file and print sharing is enabled
use user accounts and passwords to connect to other computers is selected (I also tried allowing windows to manage homegroup connections instead, but the problem remained.)
40 -56 bit encryption is enabled
In “gpedit.msc” Local Policies/Security Settings:
enabled the following policies:
Network access: Allow anonymous SID/name translation
Network access: Let Everyone permissions apply to anonymous users
disabled the following policies:
Network access: Restrict anonymous access to Named Pipes and Shares
Network access: Do not allow anonymous enumeration of SAM accounts
Network access: Do not allow anonymous enumeration of SAM accounts and shares
What am I missing? Are there policies on the server that need to be adjusted?
Please help! My business is crippled if I cannot access server files from this workstation. Thank you in advance.
