Server 2003 - File Permissions re-inherited

I have this odd issue when I am setting permissions on a file and then after some period (unknown) this file permissions are reset back to be inherited, I am the only one who can change permissions.
Any ideas?

Hi TrentQu,
By default, the inherit permission itself cannot change if there's no modification.
Would you please post more detailed information about the folder, and also check if it had applied any group policy.
Best Regards,
Anna

Project Server 2003 files to MPP or other format for archive

We want to remove our Project Server 2003, but we have a need to backup all the old projects. Anyone have any documentation on how we can move this to MPP or PDF or other document for easy viewing to archive?
Thanks!

Hi, I suggest either to do a full backup of the DB or to save manually the files. Anorher way would be to write a powershell script.
Hope this helps,

Cannot save files to Windows server 2003 file server from MAC

Hi,
We have few MAC users and others mostly windows based users. Problem now is MAC users cannot save any files to the file server. I had the issues to save in the portable hard drive then i format the HDD to fat 32 and now i can save, But the file server cannot
be done like that.
What i can do to save the files to file server? please advice me
thanks

I cannot attach another NAS as CEO need to save files to all the folders which is there in the file server already,
You can share the folder and map a drive across the network to access the shared folder on the file server. Shared folders formatted NTFS do not affect network access. You would do that by using the SMB. Here's how:

What OS version is the server? Is it a DC? You may need to reduce security on the server to allow Macs to access the server. Here's more info:

Migrating Windows Server 2003 File Cluster to Windows Server 2008 R2

Hello,
I have a very large Windows Server 2003 2 node file cluster that I would like to upgrade to Windows 2008 R2. I need to do this inplace (same server hardware) and I would like to use the existing storage if possible (I could buy more if it would make things
easier).
Is there a step by step guide that can tell me how to do this upgrade inplace or can anyone give me details on how to do this? I've looked at a few articles and they are not very descriptive on what to do.

What Microsoft calls an inplace upgrade is option 2 below
There are two basic migration/upgrade methods for a 2003 cluster to 2008
1) Build on new hardware, and move the disk/migrate the data.
2) Break cluster and remove one node, use that node to build a new one node cluster. Repeat by removing nodes and adding to new cluster.
Here is the MS Step-by-step guide for both of these approaches.

Windows Server 2003 - File/Directory Inventory and Reporting

Hi All,
My company would like to perform an inventory of all user files on all shares in order to perform a clean up rather than buying more disk space for those servers that are starting to run short. We're looking for something that could be run on each
server that would look at the following metadata/information:
Show UNC Path (optional)
Show Creation Date
Show Last Modified Date
Show Owner
Show who last modified
Show Size
Scan to see if the file is duplicated in another place in the filesystem
Again, the desire is to reduce storage space consumed in order to make more space available without simply going out and adding more storage. A commercial option isn't out of the question if there is no native tool sets available.
I understand that Windows Server 2008 actually has this native, but upgrading these servers to 2008 would also require hardware upgrades which aren't desired or practical at this time.
Thanks in advance,

1. Install Powershell if you have not done it yet
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/968929
2. Modify appropriate script from Script Center and/or powershell pages/forums
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/scriptcenter/dd742419.aspx

3. You can form the output into comma separated data file, that you export to Excel.

Windows Server 2003 file share issues - on wifi directory changes to root automatically

I have this strange issue and it ONLY happens on wifi.
If I browse to windows share: \\hpdsfandp\common$\folder1\folder2 - within seconds explorer changes the directory back to \\hpdsfandp\common$
*this does not happen if I'm on ethernet
*this does not happen if I go to a different server (eg) \\etdb2\c$\folder1
I tried diff wireless access points and it happens on both. Sometimes the issue goes away but then comes back the next day
I did run wireshark on the client and I got a few errors:
ERROR (SMB): NT Status: STATUS_INVALID_HANDLE
ERROR (SMB): NT Status: STATUS_OBJECT_NAME_NOT_FOUND

Hi,
Please check the following 2 group policy settings:
1. Make sure you do not have the policy configured in User Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> System -> User Profiles -> Connect home directory to root of the share.
2. Set the Group Policy setting under Computer Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> System -> Logon -> Always wait for the network at computer startup and logon to Enabled.

File permissions when copied from server

When a user connects to a share and copies items to their own local desktop, should the permissions on the files stick with them once copied, or should the file permissions be inherited from the location they were copied to?
Server: OS X Server 10.5.x
Client: OS X 10.5.x

Try this you say you are not using ACL's
Good but wait for it
Enable ACL to the disk, Do not set ACL permissions

Hello all,
I have a unique situation that I need a lot of help with. I work in a prison and teach an introduction to computers course with 20 lab computers and 1 file server. The lab computers are all running Windows XP Professional and the file server is running Windows
Server 2003.
The way these lab computers are setup is with DeepFreeze so that any changes the inmates make to the computer is wiped clean 100% when the machine gets rebooted (this is a must have as some of these guys are quite nefarious and like to cause mischief for
no reason). I'd like to be able to setup the computers so that they work like this:
- Each of the student lab computers are all part of the domain
- When they login, they login with the generic "Student" account which is "Student" username and "password" password. This account exists on the domain and has absolutely 0 privileges.
- Upon login, a logon.bat script pops up a dialog box asking them for their personal username and password which will then, based upon their entry, map a network drive to their own personal folder.
The reason they need to login with a generic account first is because that generic account has already been configured on the computer with certain rights as to what they can and can't access as well as certain shortcuts and other stuff. In addition, it
has the Windows XP theme disabled and loads the classic theme instead as well as various other tweaks such as not grouping all taskbar items, showing all folders in the "detail" layout, not popping up the "desktop cleanup wizard", etc,
etc. That one user profile is configured exactly the way it needs to be for them to be productive. If I have them all login to the machines with their own username/password, all of those fine details would be lost, especially considering DeepFreeze and the
fact that it wipes out any changes they make to the computer.
Is it possible to have them login with the generic account and then once they login, get a login prompt so that they can work with their own user folders?
At first I had it setup so that they all had the "users" folder mapped, however any student could make any change they wanted to other student's folders. I'm getting pretty tired of having to go in and restore files for students because some other
inmate decided they wanted to delete all of that student's work.
Thanks everyone, and hopefully I can get some help in this matter.

Hi,
Thanks for posting in Microsoft TechNet forums.
We can achieve the target by following the steps below:
1.Create a logon-stript file and named "logonsript.cmd".The content is:
if not exist "\\fileservername\sharefoldername\%username%" md "\\fileservername\sharefoldername\%username%"
if not exist h: net use h:
\\fileservername\sharefoldername\%username% /persistent:yes
Note:fileservername is the netbios name of your fileserver.All of Students' personal folders is in the sharefolder.
2.Assign the permissions to the sharefolder.
Cancel the option of "Include inheritable permissions from this object's parent".
Remove the group "Users" in the security TAB.
Give "full control" permissions to the group "creator owner" and apply to:"Subfolders and files only".
3.Edit GPO
Open Group policy object editor.
User configration--Windows Settings--Script(Logon/Logoff),
Double-click "Logon" on the right,click "Show Files" buttom,copy "Logonsript.cmd" to this folder,close this page.
Then click"Add..." buttom,click "browse" and choose the script file in the folder which the script file was copyed to.
Click "confirm".
When a student use the domian account to log in,a personal folder will be created automatically with "logon name" in your fileserver ,the person folder will be mapped as a dirve "H" automatically. Everyone can only access his/her own folder.
If the issue still exists, please feel free to let me know.

Access Denied to report file on Windows Server 2003 Enterprise

Hi,
I have a deployment problem for which I am out of ideas. I have an ASP.NET web site deployed on a server running Windows Server 2003 R2, sp2. It makes extensive use of Crystal Reports, including both displaying them and e-mailing them to specified recipients as PDF files. It all works great.
Now I need to port the web site to a different server, running Windows Server 2003 Enterprise, sp1. The reports display fine as long as I am not trying to convert it to PDF for e-mailng. When it gets to the following line in my code:
MemoryStream memStream = (MemoryStream)rptDoc.ExportToStream(ExportFormatType.PortableDocFormat);
It reports the following error:
Access denied.Error in File JobDetails {DC64A5D3-9DD7-4E4C-90F5-A08731409B29}.rpt:
Access to report file denied. Another program may be using it.
I finally got it to work by granting Modify permission to Everyone for the c:\Windows\Temp folder. Obviously this is not a good practice. Granting Full Control to the IUSR_servername account did not solve the problem on Windows Server Enterprise, although it did the trick on R2.
So the question is, which account needs which permission to the Temp folder to enable the PDF to get written?
Thanks.
Dan

What ever account the app is running under will need read / write permissions on the temp folder. Your working server should be a good place to look to see how the premissions were set there. The same will apply to any other server(?).

Print pdf file directly from a folder, Adobe Reader X in Windows Server 2003

In previous versions of Adobe Reader we were able to print pdf files groupwise directly when selected in a folder.
Now I've installed Reader X on the Windows Server 2003 environment. Logged in as administrator I can still select <Print> by selecting the right mouse button in a folder. Logged in as a user, this is not available.
I checked user-rights and permissions and made sure they have full control.
Someone who can help us in this matter?
Thanks

Thanks for your reply.
The file menu doesn't show the print option either. We used to work this way, after installing the 9.0 and Reader X version, this option has disappeared from both the File menu and the right mouse button. For other filetypes, for example Excel the Print option is still available and works properly. Logged in as administrator on the serverconsole, there is no problem. So it seams to be something specific to pdf-formats in a server 2003 environment. The userrights are all set on full control (same as administrator).
Thanks again

Transferring network user files from Windows Server 2003 to Mac OSX 10.5.8

I'm wondering if any network admins out there have a suggested method of transferring network user files from a Windows Server 2003 to an XServe running 10.5.8?
When we did the file transfer, clicking and dragging, there were a myriad permissions issues that subsequently arose. Surely there is a way to strip permissions off files PRIOR to the transfer?? Maybe not, but I'm wondering how you folks have done it.
We have had nothing but persistent permissions issues since the transfer (i.e. folks who should have access to files, being denied access, including the local server admin!!). This also translates to synch errors for network mobile accounts.
Thanks,

Oracle for Windows Server 2003 - Download file

Hi,
I download Oracle9i Database Release 2 Enterprise/Standard/Personal/Client Edition for Windows Server 2003 (32-bit) from OTN(file 9203WIN2K3.zip), but it doesn't have any setup file on the extracted files.
I think that file 9203WIN2K3.zip is not complete or is not the appropriate one.
Can anybody please help me ?
Thanks !

I am actuallt trying to do the same. What I fond out at one time, was that installing 9i on Windows 2003 is a multiple step process. First, you install the reqular three CD (or DISKS if you download the installation) and then you install the patches. I think what you have downloaded is only the patch. Read the README that comes with the zip file. I am looking for the document that described installing 9i on 2003. If I find id, I will pass it on.

Problems with the shared files of Windows Server 2003 and Mac

I have some Mac computers in the domain of my LAN Network, and when I share a folder in Windows Server 2003 sometimes the Mac can not see and sometimes yes, but lasts a long time so that they can view folders. I have installed the protocol Apple Talk on the server and File Server and in the Domain Server.
The folders when users have no security users or groups are immediately with a connection AFP, but if they have not already created security can be displayed with a connection AFP, but if you can visualize a connection with SMB, but I can not work with Quark 6.0 Pro files.
What can I do to solve this problem.

The newer printers:
canon irc3100
canon ir5020-i have working on osx side, not in classic
Older printers:
hp laserjet 5m-2 of these
hp 2200
hp laserjet 5si-2 of these
hp laserjet 4100
These are installed on windows 2003 with mac print services running. I need to know what option i should use in osx when installing these network printers on these macs. When i go to printers folder, i chose windows printing then it prompts for the ppd file. I found it for the ir5020 but not the ir3100. I really need to test the hp laserjets in osx too. Ill post up when i test those. But that one canon (ir3100) is bothering me. They are roughly the same age and the drivers on the site don't seem to work.

Cannot run the big size exe file ( 900MB) on Windows Storage Server 2003 x86 SP2 OS(Hyper-V VM machine)

When I run a big size exe file(>900 MB) on Windows Storage Server 2003 x86 SP2 OS VM mchine(which is managered by Hyper-V server), I got the following error message:
Windows cannot open this program because the license enforcement system has been tampered with or become corrupted.
This setup.exe should be a trusted source because of it run other OS(windows 2003, windows 2008, 2008 R2 etc.). we use the same way to create the exe whose size < 700MB, it works fine on the same machine(Windows Storage
Server 2003 x86 SP2 OS VM machine). So I assume that the file size(>900MB) causes the problem, It seems that OS dont' support it.
My questions:
1. Is there the limitation of exe size to run on Windows
Storage Server 2003 x86 SP2 OS VM machine? If yes, what is the size of limitation?
2. What reason is this error? Is it related with Hyper-V?
Thanks,
Recky

Did you install the 2003 VM from scratch or did you create it via a P2V process? In addition to what Shaon says about not all applications running properly in VMs, performing P2V to create VMs can also cause issues with a variety of things.
First thing to check would be Shaon's suggestion to try it in another VM. If it works in another VM, and you P2V'ed this VM, try creating your Storage Server VM from scratch and try again. Better yet, if the application can be run on a later version
of the OS, create a 2012 Storage Server instead of the 2003 Storage Server as your VM and give it a try.
