Windows server 2003 not working after computer hard restart

Hello, the following problem did occure. I was logged to windows server 2003, working on it, when my pc suddenly frozen, so i had no other option, than to make a hard restart of my pc. From that time, when a log into the windows server, i can see the server
desktop, but i cannot click on anything. I am hearing just the clicking sound. When i minimalize it a maximalize it back, all i can see is a black screen.
Can anyone help me, how to solve this problem ?
Thank you for your answers

Hi,
According to your description, my understanding is that Windows Server 2003 unable to start correctly.
You may try to restart the computer, when you see the message Please select the operating system to start, press the F8 . select the
Last Known Good Configuration, in order to start the computer by using the most recent settings that worked.
Or you may select Windows Advanced Option –> Safe Mode, check to see if this was caused by faulty drivers, programs, or services that start automatically.

DHCP Server does not work after Exporting and Importing Using Netsh Command

Hello Friends :
I had two dhcp servers in windows server 2003 server , I have upgraded one of them to windows server 2008 32 bit and again i installed a windows server 2008 R2 as an additional Domain Controller , the last scenario was like this :
srv-1 : windows server 2003 + DHCP = working with no problem
srv-2 : windows server 2003 + DC + DHCP = Worked without problem
srv-3 : windows server 2008 R2 + DC = worked without any problems
I exported the DHCP server configuration on the srv-2 using netsh dhcp server export and Imported them to srv-3 using the
netsh dhcp server import command , the command completed successfully and i can see all of the scopes without any problems and errors , i have authorized the new server without any problem , all scopes are activated without any problem so i
disabled the srv-2 DHCP service and unauthorized it from active directory , the problem is that the new server semms that does not lease any address to clients !!!
1- I have authorized it
2- I used Rogue Checker tool in client computers they see authorized server without any problems
3- The same tool in workgroup only shows srv-1 as the DHCP server and does not see other DHCP servers
4- Bindings are OK and DHCP servers only have one NIC installed on them
What can i do to make sure my srv-3 DHCP server will work on the network ?
thanks ...
MIMO

Are the clients on another network so you need to configure a DHCP relay agent?
If you load up perfmon on the dhcp server and remove all counters and then add DHCP counters. Do you see any dhcprequests when you reboot your dhcp clients? This will determine if your server actually receives any dhcp requests.
Have you check event viewer for any warnings or errors?
And the classic one restarted the dhcp server service (or reboot)?

SB04100 Sound Blaster Card not working after computer rebuild

=SB0400 Sound Blaster Card not working after computer rebuildZ I did a full disk format and reinstall for a friend on a Dimension 3000, running XP SP3. There is no sound at all. Speakers are good, tested on another system. Model number on the back of the sound card is SB0400, so I assume this is an older 24 bit PCI SoundBlaster card. Although I reinstalled all drivers from Dell, I found no drivers for this. The Creative site has no listing for this model.
Computer does not seem to recognize the card. Have not opened the box yet but I assume if I were to remove and then reinstall the card it would be recognized (?) I then have to find an SB0400 driver.
Does anyone know where I can find an SB0400 driver ? Does the strategy of pulling and reinstalling the card make sense ? (I have really avoided tampering with any of the hardware on this box -- since it is not mine.)

Re: SB0400 Sound Blaster Card not working after computer rebuild? Thanks much for your response. Problem solved for now. I removed the board and then reinserted it, after which I was able to download the drivers directly. Some of my difficulty with this whole process has been ) I didn't know there was no working speaker in the computer and 2) I apparently misunderstood the BIOS settings for this. I re-set it up as an add-on board during the troubleshooting process. After loading the driver, I went back to the original setting (don't recall what it was but it was for integrated sound). The setting for integrated sound works fine, with external speakers and the new 24 bit driver. Still some noise (popping and static) but this board shares the bus with 2 other cards one of which is a wireless network card. May be a PCI latency issue but I'm reluctant to change that because the network card is a bit shaky anyway.
Everything works for now -- I'll be glad to get this particular computer out of my house !

Windows update does not work after using System recovery disk

I have a Toshiba Satellite c655 with WIndows 7 64 bit Home premium. The hard drive died on it, so I purchased a new hard drive and purchased the appropriate Recovery media from Toshiba. I followed the directions and installed the 3 disks on to the new hard drive. But Windows update does not work I get the following error: Windows update can not currently check for updates, because the service is not running. You may need to restart your PC    No matter what I try, I can not get it to work. And it will not let me install Windows Defender either. Any ideas or help would be appreciated. Thank you in advance for your time on this matter.
Solved!

System restore on DV6 not working after new hard drive installed (Vista 32-bit)

Hi there,
I have a HP Pavilion Entertainment laptop (DV6 1210sa) and recently on start up I have been receiving a message saying that the hard drive is at imminent risk of failure. I therefore burned the restore CDs and bought a new hard drive: (A Toshiba 2.5 inch 80gb SATA hard drive 5400 RPM). The first part of the restore completes successfully then the HP screen appears after a restart and then goes to install windows, but before this begins I receive a message saying “Windows setup could not configure windows to run on this computer.” I then have to restart and get the same message. Is this drive somehow incompatible? Is there something I’m missing?
Thanks in advance

Here are the factory specs for your HP Pavilion dv6-1210sa Entertainment Notebook Computer. Based on the specs, the original hard drive was 250GB. This could be a factor in your issue. It could also be that the drive is an advanced format (AF) drive. Please provide the model of the drive for our review.

[SOLVED] Windows Update not working after Cloning Hard Disk!

Lenovo T61p with Intel Turbo Memory - Cloning HDD with Advanced Format (4K Cluster) HDD
I have been beating my head against my desk for the past day trying to figure out the problems I am having.
I have a Genuine Windows 7 Ultimate Installation
I cloned my old 100GB HDD onto a 500GB HDD to increase space however after doing so I am unable to update windows, turn windows defender on, or install any Microsoft Products. I am even unable to install WindowsActivationUpdate or Microsoft Security Essentials.
I have tried many FixIt tools to no avail.
I have run SFC /SCANNOW
I have run CHKDSK
I am stumped.
****RESOLUTION****
After doing some digging I found the solution. Since I had cloned the drive, the old AHCI driver wasn't updating Windows with the correct sector size. Updating the AHCI driver with the latest from Intel solved all the issues I was having.
**Note**
Install the Lenovo Driver First -- Reboot
Lenovo Driver: http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/downloads/detail.page?DocID=DS001676
Install the AHCI Driver Manually (iaAHCI.inf - Do this in Device Manager) -- Reboot
Intel AHCI RST Driver: http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?DwnldID=20110
***DO NOT INSTALL RST GUI IT WILL REMOVE TURBO MEMORY DRIVERS!!!***
Windows Update = Working
Windows Defender = Updating

I only discovered this problem a month after replacing my system HDD with an ssd Drive for a Vista sp2 Dell studio 1735 . But in my case all drivers were up to date. However this post triggered the right path to a solution. Though it is more
a workaround ... . Perhaps this will help others, an even more perhaps bring a microsoft engineer to make a small adaption to the vista windows update tool ....
So the problem seems that Windows Update checks for its datastore if the file is alined with the HDD underneath. But it seems that this check fails for an ssd with a 4K sector size.
Lucky I had another HDD in my laptop, which is required for this work around to work :-(. So the following shows the problem (and I think Windows Update does an alike test).
cd \windows\SDold\DataStore (so use cd \windows\SoftwareDistribution\DataStore if you didn't try the "ren" action yet as mentioned in many posts)
esentutl /g DataStore.edb -> (result) Operation terminated with error -583 (JET_errSectorSizeNotSupported, The physical sector size reported by the disk subsystem, is unsupported by ESE for a specific file type.) after 0.15 seconds.
cd D:\        (to a 512 byte sectored HDD )
esentutl /g C:\Windows\SDold\DataStore\DataStore.edb     -> (succeeds! normal verification output)
So I tried (the junction tool can be downloaded from sysinternals):
net stop cryptsvc
net stop wuauserv
robocopy /mir C:\Windows\SDold\DataStore D:\DataStore
robocopy /mir C:\Windows\system32\catroot2 D:\catroot2   (I now think this is not needed, but I started with an Technet post (and many others ...) that put me on the esentutl track... , which is also why the "net stop cryptsvc" is present.)
C:
cd ..\SoftwareDistribution
rmdir /s /q DataStore
junction DataStore D:\DataStore
cd ..\system32   ( again not sure if needed, also counts for the next 2 commands).
rmdir /s /q catroot2
junction catroot2 D:\catroot2
net start cryptsvc
net start wuauserv
And windows update worked again ! Check the C:\windows\WindowsUpdate.log
Of course this is just a workaround, but perhaps this puts another searcher on the right track. And perhaps it makes a Microsoft engineer update the responsible code ... as to be aligned on disk does not seem crucial for the databases used for this "application"
Sorry had to remove links for sysinternals and cc734083(v=ws.10).aspx (esentutl, which is a vista specific command) both Microsoft links, as Microsoft has not yet verified my account ...

Internet connection not working after computer wakes up from sleep. OSX Lion

After upgrading to Lion, I noticed that my internet connection doesn't work when I wake my computer from sleep. I have to turn off the WiFi connection, turn it back on and it will work. I guess this is a glitch that will be fixed later on. Just wanted to point it out. I don't know if someone else is having the same problem? I am not very happy with the upgrade to Lion, things seem to be slower, I've had several freezes requiring to reboot. I guess Lion needed a little more twicking before release. Not worth the $29.99 price tag.

I had this problem on SL and on Lion as well, and it occures for WiFi and Ethernet connections.
In fact the internet connection was not broken as I could ping the destination usin the IP (not DNS name).
In this case the problem was related to mDNSResponder task which handles all dns queries.
It was the most frequent problem in my day to day work with SL and now Lion. It was never fixed by any patch from Apple. I tried almost all voodoo including fresh install, all possible config changes - no solution.
The only version with no problems related to network was 10.5.8. All the other versions had issues of different kind (WiFi instability (lost signal), DNS problems (for wireless and wired connection) sometimes associated with machine sleep and wake up and sometimes with no reason.
QUESTION: Is your problem independent of the access point / router you connect to.
I must say networking was (and still is) the weakest part, besides the other OS X weaknesses I experienced during 4 years of OS X usage.
No problems in the same network with Linux or Windows beeing ran natively on my iMac So hardware is OK.
Software is of poor quality. Not much more to say in this matter.
I found a very interesting article dated 1996 about programming which I think is still valid.

Windows Server 2003 locks account after 1 attempt

I originally posted this question on the Windows compatibility forum last week, but as I have received no response, I thought I would try here.
We have four PowerMac G5s in an organization running Windows throughout. We use the same Windows 2003 and Exchange server as the PC users.
Whenever we log in to Exchange (using Entourage 2004) or any of the server volumes (using SMB), we only get one chance at entering our password correctly. If we enter our password incorrectly, our account gets locked and we have to phone IT to get them to reset it.
Also, when IT ask us to reset our passwords, we have to go to their desk and set a new password from their PC - surely there must be a way of doing that from our Macs.

Binding to AD will mean that you log into the Mac using Active Directory credentials instead of loacl credentials, and then having to input usernames and passwords when you try to access network resources.
It's quite common where Mac knowledge is limited to not bind as the IT staff perceive it to be simpler. If you were to bind to AD you wouldn't have to authenticate for network resources as you would already be logged in with those details. You also would elimate the lockout issue, as you would attempt a single authentication on login, and not multiples, so you would have 3 chances to log into the Mac prior to lockout, but would never have to reauthenticate to use email or network shares.
Ask the IT guys if they can play around with the mini and see if they can better integrate your Macs (it will simplify their lives too!). Lead them to Applications --> Utilites --> Directory Access!

HP F4180 scanner doesn't work after computer hard drive crash

I had to have my iMac hard drive replaced after it crashed. Since then, the printer works fine, but I can't scan anything. Do I need to uninstall and then reinstall for everything to work properly. TIA

Microsoft office 2003 not working after software update

I tried opening up my MS Word and Powerpoint programs last night by clicking on their icons. It did not open. However, I opened the programs a few weeks ago when I created several documents but now nothing. But at the same time it does open my existing files using these programs. And when that's happened, I am able to close the existing file and do a FILE: NEW and save with no additional issues.
I have a feeling that the most recent Software Update 2011-002 is to blame. Just like when previous versions were to blame when it disabled my previous version of Photoshop. Also, just as the last Safari update a while back still continues to cause problems for me when I try to check my email on AOL for Desktop for Macs forcing me to go directly to www.aol.com over the web.
What can I do to remedy this problem without having to purchase an updated version of MS Office? I personally don't believe the latest version of MS Office will work on my laptop because it DOES NOT have the Intel chip. Unfortunately, I purchased my laptop just prior to the Mac Intel processors came out on the market.
In conclusion, each time the program crashed or stalled when I tried opening it multiple times I sent a report to Apple.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Send me an email if necessary. I don't always log into the Apple site.
Thanks, Christie

There is no Office 2003 for Mac
