Windows 8.1 client and Windows Server 2003

Hi we have a Server 2003 domain with XP clients. I now have new PC's with Windows 8.1. I made the PC join the domain. I have given the new Windows 8.1 PC the same network settings like the XP-one it replaces. I can view all the network drives, I can join
the domain, printing, ... But when I try browsing the internet it doesn't work. I can do a ping to 8.8.8.8 and www.google.com and it answers but when I surf to the internet it won't open any internet page and time-outs. The 2003 domain is one without a dhcp-server
so all static ip's. I have attached this PC to our DHCP-network and set the IP-settings to automatic and it can browse the internet. I have given a XP-pc the same network settings and it can browse the internet. How can I solve this?
Kind regards!

Hi jhousen1,
Please provide more information for better analyzation:
1. What error message do you receive in Internet Explorer?
2. Do we have any proxy settings configured in group policy?
Please Check the proxy settings through Internet Options in Windows 8.1, also take a look at the article below:
What to do when Internet Explorer isn’t working

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.

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)

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

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.

Windows 8 and IE10 and 11 not accepting Proxy Settings via Group Policy from windows server 2003

Hi
We are still running Windows Server 2003 with a Win7 and Win8 desktop environment. I can control Win7 IE9 settings,
But Win8 systems are running IE10. We have an internal proxy server.
Is there any way to force the proxy settings to the Win8/IE10 or 11 systems .
i have tried with The IE 10 .adm template and applied gpo,but does not have any proxy settings for ie10 and no changes were applies
please can anyone help me regarding this
i want to apply GPO from windows server 2003 to windows 8 ie10/11
Thanks
KNC

Hi,
I agree with Zanderol24, we can install RSAT on a windows8 client, and then we can use Group Policy Management to manage group policy from the client.
For more information about RSAT, we can refer to the following link:
Remote Server Administration Tools (RSAT) for Windows Client and Windows Server (dsforum2wiki)
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/2202.remote-server-administration-tools-rsat-for-windows-client-and-windows-server-dsforum2wiki.aspx
For more detailed information about how to use GPP to configure the proxy setting for ie10 and ie11, we can refer to the following link:
How to configure Group Policy Preference settings for Internet Explorer 11 in Windows 8.1 or Windows Server 2012 R2
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2898604
When we use GPPs you need to be aware of the F5-F8 keys:
Red / Green: GP Preferences doesn’t work even though the policy applied and after gpupdate \force
http://blogs.technet.com/b/grouppolicy/archive/2008/10/13/red-green-gp-preferences-doesn-t-work-even-though-the-policy-applied-and-after-gpupdate-force.aspx
Besides, aside from using group policy to manage IE, IEAK can also be used to do this.
For IEAK, the following article can be referred to for more information.

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
Here’s the system log from the macMini: (13:47 is when I woke it and manually mounted the volumes)

Windows Server 2003 and problem with SSL connection (TLS)

Hi,
We are forcing a problem with SLL/TLS connection on a machine Windows Server 2003 SP2.
We spent hours trying to solve it without any result.
SYMPTOMS
No SSL connection can be established in any application since last year, e.g.:
we cannot do any windows update, because there is a time verification over SSL on the windows update website (there is an error that the time is incorrect while it is up-to-date)
we cannot open any website in Internet Explorer over https
when we try to connect to the SQL Server (database SQL 2008 hosted on the same server) with Management Studio it fails with an error: "A connection
was successfully established with the server, but then an error occurred during the pre-login handshake.(provider: SSL Provider, error: 0 - Could not
contact LSA)(Microsoft SQL Server)"
in a custom applications which sends requests over https we receive an error: "Could not establish trust relationship for SSL/TLS secure channel"
Everything seems to point at some SSL problem somewhere deep inside Windows.
We installed several patches, but without any result.
Can anybody help?
Regards,
Dawid

Hi, thanks for answers,
- In IE both SSL2.0 and TLS1.0 are checked. We tried to disable TLS1.0 - with no results.
- In HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\SecurityProviders\Schannel both SSL2.0
and TLS1.0 are enabled. We also tried to dislable TLS1.0 on the Client side - with no resuts.
- In
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\SecurityProviders\SCHANNEL EventLogging is set to 3, so it should log warnings
and errors. But we cannot find any related logs in EventLog
Unfortunately we are still in the same place.

After MS13-098 and SecurityAdvisory(2915720), Windows Server 2003 Remote Desktop(TermService) cannot start service

I have trouble with Windows Server 2003 R2 Standard. I installed the KB2893294(MS13-098) patch, and I changed the registry that is suggested actions of Security Advisory(2915720) http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/security/advisory/2915720
Suggested Actions:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Cryptography\Wintrust\Config]
"EnableCertPaddingCheck"="1"
After rebooting the event viewer(system) says:
Event Type: Error
Event Source: TermService
Event Category: None
Event ID: 1014
User: N/A
Description:
Cannot load illegal module: C:\Windows\system32\rdpwsx.DLL
After I cannot use Remote Desktop Connection from other client.
So I check the all security patches and other hotfixies. I checked the KB2653956 and KB958476.
But TermService do not recover the error.
And then, I delete the "EnableCertPaddingCheck" registry and reboot systems.
TermService have no error. I can use Remote Desktop Connection from other client.
After KB2893294 installed, Remote Desktop Connection cannot use from other client that "EnableCertPaddingCheck" registry set to "1".
Other Windows Server 2008 systems do not effect the KB2893294 patch. But All Windows Server 2003 systems cannot use the Remote Desktop Connections after the KB2893294 patch.

Update on this issue:
The debug team has accepted the issue and has identified it as a regression. Right now they're targeting *June* as the release date for a fix. I'm attempting to educate them that customers don't just install patches the day (or even month) they're
released and that the fix needs to be moved up in priority to give a minimum of 60 days to install the patch before the time-bomb explodes.
In the meantime, a workaround has been provided that will turn off the new functionality. Note that I have not yet had a chance to test this. It entails creating a new DWORD registry entry--UseLegacyPE--and setting it to 1.
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ImageHlp\UseLegacyPE
I will update this thread when I have further information.

Instant Client not working on Windows Server 2003

Hi everybody,
I have installed the Instant Client libraries on a machine running Windows Server 2003 in order to connect to a remote Oracle server. I also installed the sqlplus package. I copied them in a local directory, updated the Environment variable PATH and restarted. When I try to execute sqlplus to test if everything works fine, I get the following errors:
sqlplus user/[email protected]:1521/orcl
SP2-1503: Unable to initialize Oracle call interface
SP2-0152: ORACLE may not be functioning properly
Also, when I try to use PHP OCI8 functions like oci_connect() I get an error like:
PHP Warning: oci_connect() [function.oci-connect]: OCIEnvNlsCreate() failed. There is something wrong with your system - please check that PATH includes the directory with Oracle Instant Client libraries
I checked it and the PATH variable points to the instant client libraries.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance!

I get the following errors: sqlplus user/[email protected]:1521/orcl SP2-1503: Unable to initialize Oracle call interface SP2-0152: ORACLE may not be functioning properly Also, when I try to use PHP OCI8 functions like oci_connect......Like the error suggested, the instant client libraries does not include the Network Service required by SQLPLUS.
The connect string you are trying to use doesn't work for SQLPLUS. SQLPLUS will need proper TNS names configured.
In another words, instanct client libraries installation is not enough to use sqlplus. Use Runtime installation or Customized installation.

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.

Phonefactor with RRAS(Windows Server 2003) - VPN client timeout after 20 seconds -- too fast!

[Note that I have previously posted this question on Experts Exchange... but have not found a solution yet].
We are a small business and would like to switch to two-factor authentication for VPN connections. We spent nearly a year helping Barracuda debug their small business VPN appliance and finally they took their boxes back and gave us back our money - they
just couldn't get file sharing to work consistently with some new firmware they had to install due to a patent case.
So... now we are trying Phonefactor.
Our VPN setup is RRAS on a Windows Server 2003 domain controller.
We have installed Phonefactor, enabled it as a Radius server, and configured RRAS to point to Phonefactor for Radius authentication. We configured phonefactor to send text messages for authentication, as we figured that would be less disruptive than a phone
call.
It all works except... the timeout for VPN clients is only 20 seconds! By the time we receive the text message on a cell phone, sometimes there is only 5 or 6 seconds to get the six digit code typed into a reply on the cell phone... and unless we are really
nimble, that is frequently not enough time!
When the VPN client times out, it gives an Error 718 "The connection was terminated because the remote computer did not respond in a timely manner."
How can we increase the timeout on the VPN clients, so we can more reliably enter the authentication code in a reply back to phonefactor?
Things we have tried:
1) Connecting (PPTP) from different Windows clients to see if we get different timeout limits. So far we have tried several Windows 7 boxes and a Windows Server 2003 as the client, but in all cases the timeout is 20 seconds.
2) On the windows clients: Searching through the PPTP client settings to see if there is one labeled "connection timeout". So far we have found nothing.
3) On the windows 2003 server: Modifying the RRAS Radius Server time-out to be 30 seconds, 60 seconds, 300 seconds. We've tried restarting RRAS after these changes, but the client connection timeout is still 20 seconds.
4) In the phonefactor configuration: Searching through the radius server settings to see if there is one labeled "connection timeout". So far we have found nothing.
5) Using NTRadPing to connect directly to the phonefactor radius server. With NTRadPing we were able to wait more than 60 seconds without a timeout from phonefactor. So we don't *think* at this point that the issue is within phonefactor.
6) We have asked phonefactor support, but their response is "hmmm... good question, we don't know, that sounds like a problem with your vpn client". And they could well be correct.
7) Search the web for how to increase either the stock windows VPN client timeout, or the RRAS radius authentication timeout. No luck so far.
8) Try this registry hack:

Any ideas?
thanks!

Hi fdc2005,
Thanks for the post.
However, generally, we first type User Name, Password, then click connect to establish the VPN connection. Such as:
Therefore, I have a little confusion about the timeout you mentioned. Would you please provide us more details.
Regarding error 718, please check if the following could help:
If you have a third-party VPN server which does not support MS-CHAPv2 as an authentication method and supports only MS-CHAPv1, you will need to use either CHAP or PAP to connect from the Windows Vista VPN client until the server you use starts supporting MS-CHAPv2.
Steps to follow for resolution:
(1) Check if the Routing and Remote Access Server (RRAS) is configured to allow connections with MS-CHAPv2
(2) Check if the RADIUS server policy supports MSCHAPv2 (This step is needed if you control access to clients using Remote Access Policies on the IAS/NPS server)

Hope this helps.

Invalid OTN Link for 9.2.0.1 EE/SE/S/P/Client 32-bit Windows Server 2003

Hello,
The OTN download for Oracle 9i Release 2 (9.2.0.1) 32-bit for Windows Server 2003 is incorrect. This link brings you to the 9.2.0.3 PATCHSET download, and NOT the base release software.

I desparately need to download the 9.2.0.1 32-bit Client. The eDelivery site only has the 9.2.0.1 64-bit release. I contacted Oracle support to have CDs shipped and they arrived today however no 32-bit client was contained inside. The sticker on the back directs you to OTN for download.
Is anyone able to help me?
Regards,
Steve

Found the solution
Steve - you need to install 9.2.0.1 for NT/2000/XP and then apply the 9.2.0.3 patch to bring it to 9.2.0.3 for Windows 2003.
It's in the release notes on that page:

Are there any moderators checking this forum?
I called Oracle support and requested a shipment for Oracle9i for Windows Server 2003. I made sure that whatever media pack they were sending me what explicitly for 2003. It was for both 2000 & 2003 however the client/database CDs for 2003 are only for 64-bit.
If 9i 32-bit is the only certified version for AMD processors why isn't it in included the media pack? There's a nice sticker on the back that notifies you that the 32-bit software requires an additional upgrade that is available from OTN.
So, If OTN's link is bad and no one is from OTN is moderating this site then how on Earth is anyone able to aquire this software version? Oracle's Metalink offers no solution outside of posting to this forum.

RDS invalid licensing Windows Server 2003 Client

I have two Windows Server 2012 Session Host Server and two Windows 2012 Connection Brokers. One Connection Broker configured with remote desktop License.We are Using License type is per device cal.
On Server A, I can access RDP from Windows 7 clients and from Windows XP clients Windows Server 2003 Clients.
On Server B I can only RDP from Windows 7 clients and Windows XP Clients NOT from Windows Server 2003 Clients). The error is"The remote session was disconnected because the remote computer received an invalid licensing message from this computer"

Hi Gyan,
Which version of client RDP you are using in your environment?
Did you receive any particular Event ID during this issue?
Here for your issue I found something to let u know, if licensing mode on the terminal server is set to Per Device but the license server is configured to issue only Per User CALs, then only temporary Per Device licenses are issued from the available pool of
licenses. The license cannot upgraded.
Please check the license is properly configured and activated. If not then you can contact MS clearing house or try to change the terminal server licensing mode.
Please refer below link for more information.
The remote session was disconnected because the local computer's client access license could not be upgraded or renewed
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc737592(v=ws.10).aspx
You need to verify the terminal server because it can’t able to locate the license server.
The terminal server cannot locate the license server

Hope it helps!

Event 29 and 24 that cannot receive the time source in windows server 2003

I have one server windows server 2003 R2 pop up the event log as below
Event 29
The time provider NtpClient is configured to acquire time from one or more time sources, however none of the sources are currently
accessible. No attempt to contact a source will be made for 15 minutes. NtpClient has no source of accurate time.
Event 24
Time Provider NtpClient: No valid response has been received from domain controller server01.xxxxx.com after 8 attempts to contact it. This domain controller will be discarded as a time source and
NtpClient will attempt to discover a new domain controller from which to synchronize.
My domain controller server01 do not have any pop up event log for the time service.
I have found some information in Mircosoft TechNet would suggest such as restart the time service with command prompt. I have tried for it. But the event id keep on to pop up for each hour.
Should I configure for the time service can read for the hardware?
Moreover, if I still read the time from DC, any configuration can be done for my server and domain controller? Thanks!

Hi,
Thanks for your question.
Would you please tell us that if the DC holds a role of PDC emulator? If yes, you can run “DCdiag” on the DC to check if it is advertising itself as a Time server. In addition,
please make sure that no firewall is blocking UDP port 123 and you can also ping the DC on the client computer to verify that the client computer is capable of contacting the desired source.
In addition, please make sure that the value of the
AnnounceFlags in the registry below is 10:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\W32Time\Config
Please also make sure the value of
Type
in the registry below is set to NT5DS:HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\W32Time\Parameters
