Capture and redeploy Server 2003 with 2 partitions?

We have an old server than was installed many years ago and the people who set it up at the time partitioned the drive into C and D partitions with the C drive too small to allow for future growth. Now there is a large software package that requires
a service pack and there isn't enough room to complete the service pack installation. Not sure why the large application was installed on the small C drive to begin with. It is very complicated and slow (days long on the slow server) to reinstall
the application, so they want to avoid an uninstall and reinstall of the software.
So far, we have only used MDT 2012 to deploy Windows 7.
Is it possible to use MDT to capture both partitions of this Server 2003 machine, keeping the drivers, then do a deployment task that partitions the drives with a larger C partition and redeploys the captured image back to both new partitions?
Also since it is not being "cloned," but rather copied back to the same hardware, we do not want sysprep to be part of the process. We want it to deploy back exactly the way it was and installed still joined to the domain with the same SID.
If so, what additional steps and command syntax are required to capture and redeploy a multipartition image?
Is there a better way to do this other than capturing and redeploying such as reliable software that can repartition a running Windows 2003 server?

*THIS* is why I don't recommend creating large 2nd partitions on disk 0 (not talking about small recovery and/or Bitlocker boot patitions). Partition Fragmentation. :^)
There may be some 3rd party tools out that could help (partition magic)? I wouldn't know, haven't really used them
Best solution is to add a 2nd drive, migrate drive d: to the new disk, delete the 2nd partition, and expand the C: drive. All supported with in box tools.
Do you have this problem on *multiple* machines, or just one?
If just one, then boot to WinPE, archive the 2nd partition to external USB, delete the 2nd partition, extend the 1st c: partition to the new desired size, re-create the 2nd partition, and copy the files back.

Connect SQL Server 2012 from Windows Server 2003 with native client 9.0

Hi,
I currently have a setup where ETL tool Ab Intio, running on a Linux server, connects to the SQL Server 2005 through a passthrough Wintel server with Windows Server 2003 OS using SQL server native client 9.0
Now I have the requirement to upgrade the SQL server from 2005 to 2012.
My question is, will it be possible to connect to SQL server 2012 through Windows Server 2003 with native client 9.0?
As per the specs, I need native client 11.0+ to fully support SQL Server 2012, but then, as per specs, native client 11.0 doesnot run on Windows server 2003. OS upgradation is currently not on the cards.
So will it be possible to the run the basic queries we use currently, if we can connect SQL server 2012 through Windows Server 2003 with native client 9.0/10.0, without updgrading the OS of the Wintel server?
Thanking you in advance!

Hi Soumya,
Yes, you can use the SQL Server Native Client shipped with SQL Server 2005 to connect to a SQL Server 2012 instance, and there is no need to upgrade the operating system.

Which VMware support Windows 7 as Host and Windows Server 2003 as Guest OS

Folks,
Hello. I need to install PeopleSoft PIA in Windows Server 2003.
Because my laptop is preinstalled Windows 7 Home Premium Editon and cannot dual boot multiple Operating systems. I have to install VMware in Host Windows 7 and then install Windows Server 2003 as Guest OS for PIA.
I have installed VMware Server 2.0.2 into Host Windows 7 and Windows Server 2003 as Guest OS. Everything works fine for a while. But VMware Server Home Page https://mylaptop:8333/ui cannot display any more.
I have found that Windows 7 is not a supported Host Operating System for VMware Server 2 and strange thing might happen anytime. I found that "VMware Player 3" is fully supported Windows 7 as Host OS but is not supported Windows Server 2003 as Guest OS.
Does any folks know which VMware product support Windows 7 as Host OS and Windows Server 2003 as Guest OS ?
Many thanks in advance.

Hi,
Based on my research, I would like to suggest the following:
1.
Ensure the printer is compatible with Windows 7 and Windows Server 2003 and the drivers are up-to-date.
2.
Try the following method:
Printers that use ports that do not begin with COM, LPT,
or USB are not redirected in a remote desktop or a terminal services session
Hope this helps. Thanks.
Regards,
Nicholas Li - MSFT
That doesn't apply to Windows 7 Machines. I'm having the same problem as Acer_, I have a RDP Session from a Windows 7 Machine to a Windows XP machine and the local printer was available a few days ago but isn't anymore. The drivers are installed on both PC's
and are compatible with Windows 7.

Cold fusion 8 and Windows Server 2003 Administrator Login

I cannot seem to login to my coldfusion (trial version)
administrator login after installed successfully on my Windows
Server 2003 with Web Edition Service Pack 2.
It tries to go here which is correct
http://127.0.0.1/CFIDE/administrator/index.cfm
But I get
Bad Request (Invalid Hostname)
I attempted to go through IIS through default Web Sites and
browsed over to
http://192.168.10.19/CFIDE/administrator/index.cfm
and I now get a "The page cannot be found" display message.
Is there anything special I need to do, perhaps in Web
Service Extentions in IIS or something since I don't see
"Coldfusion" mentioned anywhere, and I can't seem to find any clear
instructions on the Adobe site.
Please help, thanks.

You should
configure

Server 2003 with two network cards problems

We have a win server 2003 with two network cards. From the server we connect using a vpn client from cisco to another server. When we do that we can NOT RDC to our server because it inherits the remote IP from the vpn connection. We installed an additional NIC. We gave an static IP to connect to our local network. How can we or is there a way to tell the vpn client to use one nic card and leave the other so we can RDC to it? thanks

It is possible to configure server to use on nic for incoming and other for outgoing, but it is not possible when vpn client is running. Also it cannot be specified as to which card to use.

How to setup ftp with dreamweaver and windows server 2003

Does anyone know if there is a tutorial/article on settinp up Dreamweaver cs3 to use Windows server 2003 as an FTP server...
any assistance would be greatly appreciated...

I was able to figure out how to setup the ftp connection, connect to my home server, however,whenever i tried to upload the contents of my website to my server, nothing gets uploaded to the site. I tried putting one page at a time, nothing. tried everything, and still no joy. I can see everything on my local server which is a XAMP package, but nothing on my remote server. Do i maybe need to maybe have a WAMP or XAMP on the Windows Server 2003 or that should not matter. This is new to me so i am learning as i go along.
Another thing, i was able to create a subfolder in my c:\www.ftproot folder, i can see that folder on my local machine, i'm just not seeing the files in that folder when i do my 'put' with my files.

Flex and Windows Server 2003 and MSSQL

Hi everyone,
I tried to connect to MSSQL using PHP. I did not get any
error message but the only problem is when I try to test the
problem, I get this error message. Everything works fine on my
local computer "developer", but when I try to program and test on
my Windows Server 2003, I get this error message:

Can someone please help me, I really need to figure this out
for my company.

a string value is being read checkLogin() when its expecting
an object with property loginsuccess.
maybe its a typo or something in your code.
for example you may have place:
var.loginsuccess == "loginsuccess";
in which it should be:
var == "loginsuccess";

Tiger 10.4.4 or 5 and Windows Server 2003 Services For Macintosh unstable??

We are running these tested Mac clients here:
macMini 1.5Ghz 10.4.5
G4 Quicksilver 800Mhz 10.4.4
G4 Dual Mirror PowerMac 10.4.4
They mount volumes on these servers:
Dell Windows Server 2000 (SFM)
Dell Windows Server 2003 (SFM)
Xserve G4 OS 10.3.9 Server
Macs sleep settings are this:
Computer sleep=1 hour
Display sleep=1 hour
Hard drive=sleep
Symptom:
When the Mac goes to sleep, the 2 Windows Mac File servers volumes are
disconnected. Upon wake, the error message stating they were disconnected are waiting.
The Xserve volume is untouched. This should not be a problem
since the Windows servers are running Appletalk via IP not
native Appletalk protocol.
Comments:
Might be related to the lookupd bug in Tiger? http://www.macintouch.com/readerreports/macosx1042/topic3108.html

Crystal Reports 9 and Windows Server 2003 sp1/sp2

Post Author: jnribeyrol
CA Forum: General
Hello,
due to security updates in my company, we have to upgrade from Windows Server 2003 to sp1 or sp2.
I haven't been able in the support to find out if there was any problem with Report Access Server on these SPs.
Can somebody help me.
regards

CR XI is past it's end of life. You can upgrade to CR XI R2 for free.
Go to: http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/boc and download the trial version of CR XI R2 and use your XI keycode, then apply the patches which you can get to by clicking on the BusinessObjects tab above, then Downloads.
Typically this is due to DEP, search forums for more info on how to configure it as well as your Anti-virus and/or Firewall may be stopping CR from running. You also need full Admin rights to install all components.
Thank you

Hi
Our customers using Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional on Windows server 2003 R2 SP2. It works some period of time but then application stops working with this error and cannot start anymore:
Faulting application Acrobat.exe, version 8.1.0.137, faulting module Checkers.api, version 8.1.0.137, fault address 0x000021a2.
What can be the problem? There is nothing in the knowledgebase.

Hello jordixip,
You can connect your Mac to Terminal Services using Remote Desktop Connection Client . You need a license, the client software, and turning on the appropriate bits on the server. It is in Micro$oft-ese, but the overview is here.
Good Luck!

Officejet 8600 Pro and Windows Server 2003 (32 bit)

The company I am consulting for purchased three 8600 Pro printers to replace three older and non-working printers. They are still using XP Pro on their workstations and running Windows Server 2003 (32 bit version) on a file server and data server. All of the workstations have the drivers for the 8600 installed and are printing with no problems through the network. I checked the driver page on HP's site and there are no drivers listed for the 32 bit version of the server OS, only the 64 bit version. I need to install the printer drivers on these servers to be able to print reports without having to purchase another printer. Has anyone found a workaround to this problem or do I have to install one of the older printers in order to print and fax from the servers? I really can't shut down these servers in order to reinstall the 64 bit version of the OS.

Hi,
Install the software using the command prompt, the software do supported on Windows Server 2003 but its installation process is different.
Follow these steps to install the printer on the server:

Coldfusion 4.5 and Windows Server 2003

We have to move a web site to a Windows 2003 Server. The site
was developed using CF 4.5 and SQL Server 2000. The new server will
have Windows 2003 Server along with SQL Server 2005. Will CF4.5
work on the new environment or will an upgrade be necessary in
order to get up and running.

CF 4.5 is not supported on Windows 2003. You may be able to
get it to
work, only testing will tell.

PSUS4 and Windows 7 and Windows XP and Windows Server 2003

I have a small domain network with Windows Server 2003 , Windows 7 desktop, Windows XP desktop. I have an HP LaserJet P3005 printer. I need to be able to print to the HP printer from all of the computers (server, Win 7 and win XP). I have a PSUS4 print server. Is there a way to setup the PSUS4 so that my server, Win 7 and Win XP computers could print to the HP printer? For example, If I setup the Print Server on the XP computer with TCP/IP port, could I share it to the server and Windows 7 computers?

Do you have any router or switch?
Or all the computers are connected to windows server through a switch?
PSUS4 must be connected to the router or the DHCP server so that it will get IP address and all the computers will be able to print.
