Windows Server 2000 Advanced - Administrator Password Reset/Recovery

I took over tech job for church that has Windows 2000 advanced server environment that has mirrored hard drives...Previous tech or person that installed server does not want to play nice with the administrator password and changes have to be made...I
do have an account without administrator privileges but that does not help...so I attempted to reset or blank the administrator with a password reset disk and was not successful...when the partition mounts (while using reset disk) it shows that the
password has been blanked (*BLANK*) but it still does not work...I've also tried putting the hard drives in a regular desktop, used the password reset disk and administrator password showed to be blanked, so I blanked it again for
safe measure, replaced the drives in server and was still not successful...please advise

First of all thanks for your response Amy...Yes it is the domain controller and only server for 7 users and 6 computers...and yes you were right about the DSRM password getting blanked...was able to log into DSRM with blank administrator password but
that did me no good as I was still not able to make changes to the domain because (you may already know) Active Directory is not available in DSRM (it says to logon with domain administration rights)...my goal is to obtain domain
administrator access in order to make changes: add/remove users and computer account (which is the password the previous tech will not provide)...since this is such a small domain do I need restore Active Directory to reset or get domain administrator
access? Authoritative Restore? Which method, as a system state backup has never been done?...please advise

When your Windows Server 2008 R2 computer is still accessible, you can reset or change your administrator password with ease by the following steps.
Step 1: Log in your Windows Server 2008 R2 computer through the administrator account.
Step 2: Click on “Start” on the lower left corner of your screen, and hit “Control Panel”, and then doubt-click on "User Account".
Step 3: Choose “Make changes to your user account”, and then click on “Change your password”.
Step 4: Now you will be asked to enter your current password, type in it.
Step 5: Enter your new password and retype it to confirm your new password. You are optional to type in a word or phrase as the hint of the new password. It is highly recommended.

OS X 10.5.6 versus Windows Server 2000 SFM

We have recently deployed a number of Macintosh (Mac Pros and iMacs) running OS X 10.5.6. When copying a directory to a Windows Server 2000 running Services for Macintosh, the directory permission are not duplicated and, more problematically, cannot be modified on the server from the Mac.
This was not a problem with the Macintoshes running OS X 10.4. Did something change between versions? Anyone know a solution?
Note: we are replacing the Windows server with an XServe, but I'm looking for a quick fix before that migration.

Migrating an Oracle Forms 4.5 application from Windows Server 2000 to 2003

We are upgrading a number of servers from Windows Server 2000 to Windows Server 2003 (Standard Edition, R2). Can we re-install Forms 4.5 on 2003 and what is involved. If not, what can we do.
Kind regards,
Malcolm

Forms 4.5 has been desupported way before Windows 2003 was ever available. So, you can be sure that Forms 4.5 is not supported on Windows 2003. You could give it a try, but you could very well run into problems.

Is Windows Server 2000 supported by 2005 or 2007?

I have a client that is wanting to upgrade to 2007 A PL48. They are running Windows Server 2000 and SQL Server 2005. All of the documentation (sizing guides) I have read only mentions Windows Server 2003 as being compatable for even the 2005 versions. They are currently running 2005 PL32. Am I missing something or is Windows 2000 not supported?

OSX and Windows Server 2000 resource forks

Our shop is 95% OSX with a Windows Server 2000 server. There is one application that is sensitive to image file resource forks copied to the server. When the app does a particular operation if there are resource forks in the folder the operation fails.
Is there a way to either strip the forks on the copy operation? Or is there a way to block them in Windows Server?
BTW, the application is a dedicated print server RIP linked to a Durst photographic printer running on Windows XP.

I feel your pain. I have been dealing with the same thing and found the following options:
Try turning on "Services for Macintosh" or SFM on the windows server. I am NOT a windows guy I have had mixed results when my LAN folks have done this for me. In some instances the ._rsrc files don't appear, and this won't fix long name issues if you are having them.
Another way to go w/o touching the windows server...third party.
Path Finder 4: http://www.cocoatech.com/pf4
Blue Harvest: http://zeroonetwenty.com/blueharvest/#faq
KopyMac 2.6.1b: http://www.tcsn.net/mont/index2.html
I have not tried the third party solution yet. I am still convinced there must be some way to have the mac just stop creating the files, but so far I have nothing. The only article apple has that is remotley related addresses .DS_Store files and NOT the ._rsrc files. I tries the edit to com.apple.desktopservices.plist and I still had a server full of ._bsfile.
Hope this helps, and if anyone out there has the 100% mac solution PLEASE share.

Need help using Windows Server 2000 JDBC Driver on Red Hat 9

I successfully have a .jsp app running on windows server 2000 using JDBC
driver for SQL Server 2000. Which I installed in order to the following
Red Hat:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/MSDN-FILES/027/001/779/install.htm
I moved the .jsp app over to the Red Hat 9 server running Tomcat, while
keeping the MS SQL 2000 on windows. The issue I have is setting up the
JDBC driver for SQL Server 2000 on the Red Hat server.
I created a folder called /usr/java/MSSQLdriver and unzipped the tar file with
the driver for SQL Server 2000. And ran the install.ksh script.
The /usr/java/MSSQLdriver/lib has the following files within it:
msbase.jar, msutil.jar, & mssqlserver.jar
I chmod 0777 each of the *.jar files.
I then went into /etc/profile.d/tomcat.sh and adding the following:
CLASSPATH=.;/opt/msSQLjdbc/lib/msbase.jar;/opt/msSQLjdbc/lib/msutil.jar;/opt/msSQLjdbc/lib/mssqlserver.jar
Each time I login and pull up the termial I get the following error:
bash: /opt/msSQLjdbc/lib/msbase.jar: cannot execute binary file
bash: /opt/msSQLjdbc/lib/msutil.jar: cannot execute binary file
bash: /opt/msSQLjdbc/lib/mssqlserver.jar: cannot execute binary file
And can't connnect to the database within the .jsp app.
Is there anyone out there using DBC driver for SQL Server 2000 on the Red Hat server?
Michael

Sorry, I needed to correct some information of where the drivers were installed.
I created a folder called /usr/java/MSSQLdriver/new and untar the Microsoft file with the driver for SQL Server 2000. I ran the install.ksh script "sh install.ksh"
installed the driver into the default directory "/opt/msSQLjdbc".
The /opt/msSQLjdbc/lib has the following files within it:
msbase.jar, msutil.jar, & mssqlserver.jar

I am so glad to hear about your success. As you are new to the Mac environment, I will be glad to help you more.
You said: "I can't change the setup yet but i have access". I don't understand what you mean about changing the setup! Please let me know more about that.
I also recommend to use Boot Camp, which allows you to install windows on a partition of your internal hard drive. This has many benefits. First, you can restart your computer and start up in windows. This makes your Mac device a complete windows machine and you gain the most from your hardware when working in Windows. Second, if a problem occures to your Mac OS X, you can restart your machine in Windows and prevent your data from getting lost. Third, you can import the Windows installed on the boot camp partition in to the Mac OS X using VMWare Fusion and work with it as a virtual machine. In this situation, VMWare enables you to work directly with your Windows in the boot camp partition. So it does not create a file package for the virtual machine in OS X.
Regarding the data safety and reliablity, I strongly recommend using Time Machine. You can also set it up to back up your virtual machines or not. This is possible to set up in the Virtual Machine Preferences Page in VMWare Fusion, or in the Time Machine preferences page in the System Preferences app of OS X.
Please don't hesitate to ask any other question. I will be glad to help you.

How to Reset Windows 2008/R2 Domain Administrator Password

How to Reset Windows Server 2008/R2 Domain Administrator password if forgot or lost it?
It is annoying and bad to forget a Windows Server 2008/r2 Domain administrator login password. It is troublesome unless you have that Windows Server 2008/r2 password reset disk. We can still find several tricks to reset Windows Server Domain password but they require a mass of operations and waste a lot of time. For example, you can reset Windows Server 2008/R2 domain administrator password with an installation disk but it requires you to type a mass of command line. So today I want to share everyone an omnipotent method to reset Windows Server 2008/R2 Domain/local administrator password. You need the following 3 things.
An accessible PC.
A USB/CD/DVD flash drive.
The Windows password reset tool Daossoft Windows Password Rescuer.
Then it requires 4 steps as below:
Step 1: Download and install Daossoft Windows Password Rescuer into that accessible computer.
Step 2: Burn it to the flash drive.
Step 3: Boot your Windows Server computer from the flash drive.
Step 4: Follow its instruction and click “Reset Password” button to reset your Windows 2008/R2 Domain/Local administrator password.
More details in this video: Windows Server 2008 R2 Password Reset - Reset Domain or Local Password.

It wasn't difficult to reset the domain password and I think Microsoft's policy of not providing an easy forward way is to create an
illusion of security which is not there. Linux systems that are much more secure that MSFT software allow easy password reset when physical access is there so why not include the same tools in System Repair tools or using F8?
Anyhow, this guide helped me reset the password in 5 minutes. Read the bottom of it to find the scripted / automatic version of the process:
