DFSR Server 2003 and 2012 sync'ing together

Hello All...
I have 2 domains in the same forest connected via a VPN over the Internet. Each domain has a Windows Server 2003 DFSR server and replicates with each other a folder that contains 95 GB and 128 KB files. To decommision the
2003 servers, I now have a 2012 server in each domain .
My question is it better to manually copy the existing folder to the new server and then run the New Member Wizard or run the Wizard and have it build the mega folder on its own...?
Thanks... Tom...
Tom Karpowski...

Definitely manually copy (called pre-seeding) to the new server. Here's a couple blog posts on pre-seeding. The second is part of a series which you might find helpful given your stated goal.

http://blogs.technet.com/b/askds/archive/2010/09/07/replacing-dfsr-member-hardware-or-os-part-2-pre-seeding.aspx
I've seen situations where DFSR replication groups would never finish initial sync because files were being edited too fast to ever make it through the backlog that started from Day 1.
Smart to ask this up front instead of trying to get DFSR to sync this for you...over a vpn no less. Good luck!

How do you repair ntoskrnl.exe error or system error in windows server 2008 and 2012

hi,
can you repair system file errors like ntoskrnl.exe in windows server 2008 and 2012 like like before in windows server 2003 ?
the steps were repairing ntoskrnl.exe error in windows server 2003
1- have a 2003 cd and from that cd start recovery console and copy from i386 directory ntldr and ntdetect.com to windows /system32 directory on the server and then repairing
2- MBR with fixmbr command and then rebuild BOT.INI file with bootcfg/rebuild .
now my question is how you repair or solve such problem with ntoskrnl.exe error in windows server 2008 and windows server 2012
thanks

first this wil take a lot of time for windows 2008 and 2012 ,
and what about windows 2003 I thing this has no startup repair
thanks

What will take a lot of time? Repair or clean install? These days one can standup a new VM and have an operating system on it in around 20 minutes or so.
Correct server 2003 is file based deployment and completely different OS from repair perspective as well.

Server 2003 and IE10 proxy settings

We are (still) running Server 2003 with a mixed Win7/Win8 desktop environment. We can control Win7 IE9 settings but all of the Win8 systems are running IE10. We also have an internal web proxy appliance. Is there any way to force the proxy settings to the
Win8/IE10 systems or will I have to wait until we migrate to Server 2012? The IE 10 .adm does not have any proxy settings, IEAK10 won't run on Server 2003 and GPP is not available on Server 2003.
Thanks
Matt

> GPP is not available on Server 2003.

Sharepoint Kerberos Server 2003 and 2008R2

Hello,
I have a Domain Controller on Server 2003 and a SP 2010 WFE on Server 2008R2. The Content DB is an instance on a SQL Server 2012.
Are there any additional configurations needed for kerberos to work?
Thanks in advance

Make sure the domain is in 2003 native mode. You do need to configure SPNs and Delegation, are you aware of that?

Microsoft Exchange Server 2003 and Windows 8 Compatibility

Is there a fix or workaround for accessing email via Outlook 2013 (Windows 8) when your company uses Microsoft exchange server 2003 and has not plans on upgrading it any time soon. I am a remote employee so I am the only one that has this problem in the
company. I can access email through an owa account but it's a pain. I tried to set up a rule to have all incoming mail forwarded to my gmail account in Outlook 2013, but that did not work. Any other ideas?

If server has enabled ActiveSync you can use Windows 8 Mail Client - works almost like Outlook.
AFAIR Outlook 2013 can't work with Exchange 2003.

Crystal 8 Web Component Server ond Windows Server 2003 and IIS 6

I am trying to get Crystal 8 Web Component and Page Server to run on Windows 2003 Server with IIS 6. I have done the following:
Added the .cri and .rpt ISAPI extension mappings
Have Cache ISAPI extentions selected
Deselected "verify that file exists"
Aded the .cri and .rpt MIME types
Added wcsinsapi.dll as a IIS 6.0 extension
The above resolved all HTTP 40x.x errors but when trying to access a report from IE I receive the following error:
Error: Could not connect to the Web Component Server.
The page server and web component server services are running and I do see the listen ports (6401, 6403) active.
I know this is old software but it works quite well under a Windows 2000 Server and other web postings indicate that it is possible to run Crystal 8 under WS2003 and IIS 6.
Does any one know of a white paper/support document that details how to run Crystal 8 under Windows Server 2003 and IIS 6?
Has any one done this successfully?
Any tips as to cause of the "Could Not Connect" problem would be greatly appreciated.

Well as it turns out it looks like it was just this server.
We tried everything, and I added those user accounts to full
permission for the Coldfusion folders and we just could not get it
to work. We tried it on another couple servers running 2003, and it
installed perfectly right out of the box with no other permissions
needed. And those servers were all running default configs with no
other permissions done.
We still have no idea what was the problem, but at least for
now it seems to be this server. But I will tell you what, that II6
stuff seems to be a bit of a pain, we had major problems installing
new version of PHP with it too. Oh well, good luck to you
too!

Out of memory using Windows Server 2003 and Oracle 9.2.0.3

Hi,
I just installed both Windows Server 2003 and Oracle 9.2.0.3. The server I am using has 4 gigabytes of memory installed, and windows shows that to be the actual physical memory on the server. The paging file is 8 gigabytes for a total of 12 gigabytes of virtual memory.
Using the Oracle Database Configuration Assistant, I create a new database using default values. After verifying the installation worked OK (database started, queries ran), I attempted to change some of the memory parameters and was able to start the database using about 1.4 gigabytes of total SGA, with the O/S using about .3 gigabytes for a total of 1.7 gigabytes. I then attempted to change the buffer cache + 1 gigabyte for a total of 2 gigabytes. Now the database will not start and I get an out of memory error ora-27102 with an additional O/S memory error of "O/S Error: (OS 8) Not enough storage is available to process this command".
So, I have two problems:
1) With 4 gigabytes installed, and the O/S using only about 300 megabytes, why isn't Oracle able to take advantage of the memory on this machine past the 1.7 gigabytes (as reported by Windows task manager).
2) How do I change the spfile memory parameters so the database will start using spfile? I can start the database pointing to a pfile with lesser memory parameters, but I don't know how to effect change on the spfile, since I cannot start with the spfile.
Both these technologies (9.2.0.3 and Server 2003) are new to me, so any insight would be appreciated!
HERE ARE THE SPFILE PARAMETERS THAT WORKED:
SGA (M)
Shared Pool=104
Buffer Cache=960 ***
Large Pool=0
Java Pool=64
Total SGA=1128
SGA Max Size=1321
Aggregate PGA Target=1500
Current PGA Allocated=22868KB
WINDOWS MEMORY INFO FROM TASK MANAGER SHOW:
PF Usage=1.66GB
Physical Memory (K)
Total=4062704
Available=3203460
System Cache=2499096
Commit Charge (K)
Total=1748184
Limit=12288628
Peak=1925276
*** When I change this to 2048 the database did not start.
Thank you.

CREATE SPFILE
Purpose
Use the CREATE SPFILE statement to create a server parameter file from a client-side initialization parameter file. Server parameter files are binary files that exist only on the server and are called from client locations to start up the database.
Server parameter files let you make persistent changes to individual parameters. When you use a server parameter file, you can specify in an ALTER SYSTEM SET parameter statement that the new parameter value should be persistent. This means that the new value applies not only in the current instance, but also to any instances that are started up subsequently. Traditional client-side parameter files do not let you make persistent changes to parameter values. Because they are located on the server, these files allow for automatic database tuning by Oracle and for backup by Recovery Manager (RMAN).
To use a server parameter file when starting up the database, you must create it from a traditional text initialization parameter file using the CREATE SPFILE statement.
All instances in an Real Application Clusters environment must use the same server parameter file. However, when otherwise permitted, individual instances can have different settings of the same parameter within this one file. Instance-specific parameter definitions are specified as SID.parameter = value, where SID is the instance identifier.
The method of starting up the database with a server parameter file depends on whether you create a default or nondefault server parameter file. Please refer to "Creating a Server Parameter File: Examples" for examples of how to use server parameter files.
See Also:
CREATE PFILE for information on creating a regular text parameter file from a binary server parameter file
Oracle9i Database Administrator's Guide for information on pre-Oracle9i initialization parameter files and Oracle9i server parameter files
Oracle9i Real Application Clusters Administration for information on using server parameter files in a Real Application Clusters environment
Prerequisites
You must have the SYSDBA or the SYSOPER system privilege to execute this statement. You can execute this statement before or after instance startup. However, if you have already started an instance using spfile_name, you cannot specify the same spfile_name in this statement.
Syntax
create_spfile::=
Text description of create_spfile
Semantics
spfile_name
This clause lets you specify a name for the server parameter file you are creating.
If you do not specify spfile_name, Oracle uses the platform-specific default server parameter filename. If spfile_name already exists on the server, this statement will overwrite it. When using a default server parameter file, you start up the database without referring to the file by name.
If you do specify spfile_name, you are creating a nondefault server parameter file. In this case, to start up the database, you must first create a single-line traditional parameter file that points to the server parameter file, and then name the single-line file in your STARTUP command.
See Also:
"Creating a Server Parameter File: Examples" for information on starting up the database with default and nondefault server parameter files
Oracle9i Database Administrator's Guide for Windows (or other appropriate operating system specific documentation) for default parameter file names
pfile_name
Specify the traditional initialization parameter file from which you want to create a server parameter file.
If you specify pfile_name, the parameter file must reside on the server. If it does not reside in the default directory for parameter files on your operating system, you must specify the full path.
If you do not specify pfile_name, Oracle looks in the default directory for parameter files on your operating system for the default parameter filename, and uses that file. If that file does not exist in the expected directory, Oracle returns an error.
Note:
In a Real Application Clusters environment, you must first combine all instance parameter files into one file before specifying it in this statement to create a server parameter file. For information on accomplishing this step, see Oracle9i Real Application Clusters Setup and Configuration.
Examples
Creating a Server Parameter File: Examples
The following example creates a default server parameter file from a client initialization parameter file named t_init1.ora:
CREATE SPFILE
FROM PFILE = '$ORACLE_HOME/work/t_init1.ora';
Note:
Typically you will need to specify the full path and filename for parameter files on your operating system. Please refer to your Oracle operating system documentation for path information.
When you create a default server parameter file, you subsequently start up the database using that server parameter file by using the SQL*Plus command STARTUP without the PFILE parameter, as follows:
STARTUP
The following example creates a nondefault server parameter file s_params.ora from a client initialization file named t_init1.ora:
CREATE SPFILE = 's_params.ora'
FROM PFILE = '$ORACLE_HOME/work/t_init1.ora';
When you create a nondefault server parameter file, you subsequently start up the database by first creating a traditional parameter file containing the following single line:
spfile = 's_params.ora'
The name of this parameter file must comply with the naming conventions of your operating system. You then use the single-line parameter file in the STARTUP command. The following example shows how to start up the database, assuming that the single-line parameter file is named new_param.ora:
STARTUP PFILE=new_param.ora

Mapping issues with Server 2003 and windows 8.1 machine

We are running Windows Server 2003 and trying to map network drives through a GPO script on a Windows 8.1 machine. The drives don't get mapped and if they do, it takes them 10minutes or more to show up. The Folder Redirection is not working
as well. Any suggestions?

Hi,
This is because
by default, on client computers, Group
Policy processing is not synchronous, that is client computers typically do
not wait for the network for GPO settings to be fully initialized at startup and logon.
Solution:
Enable the
policy setting Always
wait for the network at computer startup and logon to set the client computers wait
for the network for GPO settings to be fully initialized during computer startup and user logon.
Steps to enable the Policy Setting
- Open Group Policy Management Console (start -> Run -> Type GPMC.MSC).
- Edit the required GPO and navigate to
Computer Configuration/Administrative Templates/System/Logon and enable the option Always
wait for the network at computer startup and logon

Terminal server 2003 and window7 printer

we have a terminal server 2003 and now added a windows 7 workstation running rdp. all printers except the new hp2025n show in session by loading the printdriver 2020 on the server. How ever on the windows 7 desktop I had to load the 2020 driver for windows 7. The win7 driver will not load on the server, error this platform not supported. I understand that the 2 drivers have to match for the printer to be used in rdp. The other printer that come across is a black dell printer with no problems. so the driver is what I suspect is the issue.

Network Load balancing for Server 2003 and Server 2012

Our environment currently has 2 web servers running Windows Server 2003 with Network Load Balancing. We are looking to update the servers to Windows Server 2012. Is it possible to add Windows Server 2012 into the Windows Server 2003 Network Load
balancing cluster? This way we could bring up 2 new servers add them into the network load balancing and then take out the 2003 servers without disrupting our production.
Any thoughts or suggestions on how to make this work properly?

Hi,
You can upgrade an existing Network Load Balancing (NLB) cluster to Windows Server 2008, Windows Server 2008 R2, or Windows Server 2012 by taking the entire cluster offline
and upgrading all the hosts, or you can leave the NLB cluster online and perform a rolling upgrade. A rolling upgrade entails taking individual cluster hosts offline one at a time, upgrading each host, and returning the host to the cluster. You continue upgrading
individual cluster hosts until the entire cluster is upgraded. A rolling upgrade allows the cluster to continue running during the upgrade.

Server 2003 and Exchange 2003 upgrade.

Spin upa new VM as a domain controller and Global Catalog Server. Transfer the FSMO roles to it and let it sit overnight. Do NOT demote the Server 2003 domain controller or you will break Exchange 2003. Exchange 2003, when installed on a domain controller, doesn't properly configure itself to find domain controllers on the network. Instead, it goes into it's SBS configuration where it will only look at the current host for domain services.Next, determine which version of Exchange you want to go to. If migrating to an on-premises Exchange keep in mind that Exchange 2003 works with Outlook 2010 and earlier and that Outlook 2003 and earlier don't work with Exchange 2013. This means you need to upgrade to Exchange 2010 and enable non-secure Outlook connections on it, then upgrade Office to 2007 or later, and then upgrade to Exchange 2013.I...

I'll ask why Server 2012 and not r2 & why exchange 2010 and not 2013? I'll assume budget.
The only difference I think I'd have with Gary is that I'd leave the demotion and removal of the old DC until the end.
New DC, transfer the fsmo roles. Make sure that replication is working properly.
New Exchange box.
Look up the requirements for removing the last exchange 2003 server, there are specific steps for this.Then demote and remove the old DC.Start by checking the Domain and Forest Function Levels :)

/3 Gb switch, Windows Server 2003 and no imagecfg.exe!

The Imagecfg tool is not provided in the support toolkit for Windows Server 2003. How do I then implement the /3 Gb switch for oracle.exe and tnslsnr.exe as has been recommended in Metalink notes 116076.1 and 46001.1?
Also does this not appear a bit confusing:
Note 1036312.6 states:
On Windows NT Server, Enterprise Edition 4.0, Microsoft provides the 4GT (4GB
RAM Tuning) support so an application can utilize up to 3GB virtual memory
instead of the 2GB limit as it used to be.
The Windows NT service pack 3 provides the same feature but is not officially
claimed in the SP3 readme.txt.
The Oracle 8.0.3 release and higher have already been enabled to take
advantage of the new feature.
However a more recently updated note (46001.1) states:
d) Configuring the Oracle process to make allocations greater than 2GB
The Oracle database supports the 4GT tuning feature of Windows NT Server,
Enterprise Edition from release 7.3 onwards, allowing it to access up to 3GB
of virtual address space per instance. It may be the case that certain
releases / patch sets do not have the 4GT flag set even though the release
does support the feature. To check the executable has been correctly enabled
run :
imagecfg oracle.exe
oracle.exe contains the following configuration information:
Subsystem Version of 4.0
Image can handle large (>2GB) addresses
Stack Reserve Size: 0x100000
Stack Commit Size: 0x1000
For executables that do not have the flag set, run :
imagecfg -l oracle.exe
The above settings will only take affect if the boot.ini has been set up as
described in Note 46053.1.
So, do we really require to run the imagecfg utility (which is no longer provided in 2003 server support tool package) for versions higher than 8.1.7? Which tool should I then use instead of imagecfg for Windows Server 2003?

I think one of the reasons behind those Notes is that in older releases support for the feature existed and despite 7.3.4 or 8.0.3 and onwards had the capabilities, some patch sets or patches "forgot" this. The first Note you references says
"There may be a case where you are running 8.0.4.3.7 on NT and the 3gig address issue required the use of imagecfg to access the larger address space. One major reason might be the fact that patch sets may have brought in an executeable without the flag being set."
Sometimes it can be really hard to get notes on metalink to add upp, maybe mostly because there is so much info to maintain and cope with...
I dont think you should worry much about it. In any case, the developer/vendor who controls the code need to make sure the program is in reality large address aware and set flags accordingly.
If you want to check, to report something back to Oracle Support, there is dumpbin.exe to verify image header available in Visual Studio. Dont know of a public alternative.

Flex and Windows Server 2003 and MSSQL

Hi everyone,
I tried to connect to MSSQL using PHP. I did not get any

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

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";
