Hi
Have a problem with setting one of two Ethernet
adapters to default.
Win2003 Web Server, 2 NICs are connected to a switch
which has two firewalls
connected to it.
1 NIC 190.191.0.18/16 GW 190.191.2.1
2 NIC 190.191.0.17/16 GW 190.191.0.1
First NIC routes through a firewall that has access to
the internet, second
NIC routers through a firewall that has access to LAN
and Internet.
But after restarting server, or disabling/enabling
second NIC, default
traffic is always routed through second NIC through GW
190.191.0.1, but I
want that internet traffic is always routed through
the first NIC that has
GW 190.191.2.1?
So in other words I want to achieve that first NIC
will be default adapter.
How can this be done?
Thank you in advance
Regards,Miha

You should not have two NICs enabled which are in the
same IP subnet,
unless they are teamed. You can only have one gateway
per machine, not one
per interface.

Yes that was the problem. I deleted gw on the second

What is the purpose for this unsupported
configuration? It doesn't make much
sense. And why are you using a class B network mask?
If you want it to work you need to create a routing
table on your server and
tell it which addresses to use with which interface.
In order to do that you
first need to define the traffic that you want to see
over the 0.17
interface. What is the subnet range that you want to
use via 0.17? After you
have done that, you send the rest through 0.18.

Yes take the boot.wim from the vista CD and use it as
a boot image wim
file. When you create your boot image, point it back
to that boot.wim
file you saved on your server somewhere. Right Click
on the newly
created boot image and choose "Create Capture
Boot image". Follow the
wizard and name it appropriately. Now boot your target
PC using PXE
and choose the newly created "Capture" boot
image. Follow the wizard
and you should be good.

have you added the options into DHCP to make this
work? I've followed
the steps as detailed but when I boot using PXE, it
doesn't find the
server and boots into the sysprep'ed windows image. I
haven't added
the options, but the PC and the WDS server are on the
same network
segment, same layer 2 switch.

Re: File System / Directory Security

Just thought I'd add that I've been down this road,
and found one
insurmountable problem, namely that files moved
between folders within the
same share don't acquire correct permissions for the
folder they're in. Thus,
after a few things get shuffled around in the normal
course of work, you have
a chaotic situation in which no-one can predict which
files will be
accessible.
I don't know of any answer, other than to use share
permissions instead,
which is what I normally do.
In Linux you can chmod 2770 (sticky group rights) to
(largely) overcome this
problem, but I don't know of any Windows equivalent.
Does anyone else?

In Windows most storage on people's own workstations
is
fairly uniform in permissioning, at least the part
where limited
users can save things, so this is not a big issue on
workstations.
For server storage on Windows 2003 and earlier the
intra-
partition move retaining explicit permissions is an
issue as
you outline. There are a couple of approaches. When
you
have two distinctly differently permissioned storage
areas,
putting them on separate partitions is the main way to
avoid
the problem. Another approach is to make it so that
the user
modifiable storage areas have no explicit but only
inherited
permissions, since the inherited permissions are
always set
due to the location, before or after a move.

I had a similar issue:

The installer needs to access files in the sp1 i386

use mstsc /console view you will see the popup asking
for the windows

I then edited the registry to point to the correct

and it now works a

Best to call MS licensing, but I believe you have
"licenses" for up to 4
VM's of either kind. Since Virtual Server only
supports x86 machines, then
you have no choice, unless you are running VMWare. In
that case, you should
probably verify with MS Licensing ( I think you're
covered ).

FYI-
From what my Dell rep has just told me "Yes your

the Licensing can run different x86 or x64 operating
systems, for
instance if you needed one to run Exchange 07 which is
x64 only."

Wish it did, but it doesn't.
Q: Does Virtual Server 2005 support 64-bit processors?
A: Virtual Server 2005 R2 runs on both 32-bit and
64-bit (x64) host
operating systems. It supports both AMD64 and Intel
IA-32e/EM64T (x64)
processors. Note that Virtual Server 2005 R2 does not
support Itanium
(IA-64) processors. Earlier versions of Virtual Server
run on x64-based
hardware provided it is running a 32-bit version of a
supported host
operating system.
Note that Virtual Server 2005 R2 requires that guest
operating systems be
32-bit.

Hello,
Yes you can. You can always use RIS images when WDS
server is set to mixed
mode.
You can find more server functionality modes

I tried doing a conversion using wdsutil. I got the
following error:
--------------------
Error Code 0xC103012A
Fix-ups necessary for conversion could not be applied.
The short name for a
file specified in the file's $SYSPREPSFN stream could
not be applied because
the name was already assigned to another file in the
same folder
--------------------
The folder that I was trying to create the wim file in
is currently empty.
I have not been able to find any more information on
how to resolve this
error.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Hello Mike,
I didn't find any similar problems. Can you try to
convert an image file
with short name (which is in 8.3 format)? And, do you
have the same problem
when convert images in MMC console?
Please le me know the detailed switches you used to
convert image.
The chapter 7 of the following document discussed two
methods to convert
image:
Deploying and Managing the Windows Deployment Services
Update on Windows

I hope the information above can address your

Sean,
Are you referring to the sif file? Current name is
riprep.sif.
As to using the console, I have not tried it, but I
see other comments on
the net that have the same problems using the command
line as the console.

Hello Mike,
I couldn't find an error code list for wdsutil. And
the list I have can't
explain the problem you have described. Regarding your
post, you had two
different error code when converting two different images,
I suggest we
re-initialize WDS and test again. If the problem
persists, uninstall WDS
and re-install it on a clean server is recommended.
I hope the information above can address your
concerns. If anything is
unclear, please feel free to let us know.

Sean,
We are off every other Friday, which is why I did not
respond.
Installing on another server is not really feasible.
What would I have to do
to reinitialize WDS? I would not want to break my
exisiting RIS installations
images

Hi Mike,
WDS reinitialize will remove all current settings but
won't effect any
images. I said to install WDS on another server is
mainly for test purpose,
I don't mean to use it as a resolution. I'm sorry I didn't
clarify myself.
I'm creating a test environment to re-produce your
problem. You will be
informed right after I have a result.

Thank you, Sean.
To reinitialize is this correct?
1. At the command prompt, type wdsutil
/uninitialize-server, and then press
ENTER.
2. wdsutil /initialize-server
/reminst:{RemoteInstallFolder}

Hello Mike,
The process to reinitialize WDS is correct.
I consulted WDS team colleagues for error code
0xC103012A. It seems the
conversion routine returns this if it finds several
files in the same
folder that have conflicting short names (stored in
their alternate
streams) and is thus unable to apply the short names
to these files. My
guest on such situation are accidently reserved office
temporary files.
The time to build a test environment is more than I
expected, I'll let you
know the result when I have one.
I hope the information above can address your
concerns. If anything is
unclear, please feel free to let us know.

That at least gives me something to look for. I don't

any debug flag that could be set to let me know what

Hi Mike,
WDSutil hasn't a switch to do that. You can use
Process monitor to see when
wdstuil fails, however since RIS image contains
hundreds of files, wdsutil
may generate a very long log. Therefore, I suggest you
to enable Process
monitor a few time before the error will appear.
You can get Process Monitor in the following link:
Process Monitor v1.22
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sysinternals/utilities/processmonitor.mspx
I hope the information above can address your
concerns. If anything is

Hi Mike,
I couldn't reproduce the problem you have. A few long

successfully.
If you have captured a log file by process monitor,
please send it to

What may be going on is that the boot.wim has the
correct PXE
compliant NIC drivers for the workstation but not for
the server. I
would go to HP's website or NIC vendor and download
"RIS" complient
drivers. Then inject those into the boot.wim. See what
happens.

event viewer out of the box will not do this. You need
a utility for
this and there are a few out there. For security

Unfortunately no! I hope 2008 does that.
One can use MOM or ActivExperts Network Monitor for
that.
There are others, but I don't remember by heart.

You can have Exchange program certain events to email

you Event viewer

Meinolf,
Thanks for the reply! I had called another more
experienced network person
and found out what the issue was. We disabled DHCP for
now. Currently the NT4
box is running DHCP and has a reservation for an IP
with x.x.10.x, where as
before, the server was running with a statically
assigned x.x.0.x. After
setting the new server to the reservation that was
present and setting the
default gateway. I am back on the network. It seems
that the server was setup
for a x.x.0.x network and everything I needed was on
the x.x.10.x network.
Thanks!!

Hello Pop,
Just one remark, for servers switches routers work
with fixed ip's not with
reservations from DHCP. Better start scopes from
x.x.x.10 or 20 and hold
the beginning ip's for your own needs.

Re: adprep R2 / SBS->x64
Date:
08/21/2007 14:26:04
Ok, I figured out the adprep, now, another question...
once I finish setting
up the new domain controller, can I turn off the old
one, and then change
the ip of the new DC to be the same as the old DC? I
assume so, as long as
I am consistent on the new DC (e.g, point at itself
for dns, etc).
I know the old ip is set on at least a dozen machines,
including some
routers, and it would be lovely if I didn't have to go
reprogram all those
guys with a new ip.

Make sure the new server is a Global catalog and has
the FSMO roles along

It turned out to be

It's rather hard to answer that without knowing what
exactly the servers
will be used *for*. You'd probably have a different config
for, say, a
domain controller, than a print server.

Thanks for the reply.
I have in the past rolled out Windows server's ad-hoc.
Future servers which will be rebuilds of SQL, IIS and
some new DC I would
like to put some build procedures in place.
I'm working on collecting together best practises for
standard server
installs, (before sysprep'ing or imaging them).
Many thanks

I think that sounds like a good plan, but surely at
this point you have your
standards defined, no? If you have specific questions
about "What should
setting X be on a DC with no file/print roles"
etc., someone may be able to
help, but it's hard to know how to answer your
question as it's a bit vague
for a newsgroup post. There are different "best
practices" for different
kinds of servers ?
further. :(

You might try this;

Did they buy their licenses under Open licensing? OEM?

Hi,
As far as I know, if it was a volume purchase then you
can login to MS site
for the licenses or call to MS to get the licenses.
Thank you,

Thank you everyone for your responses. The CALS were

unfortunately. But I will try your suggested
weblink/blog. Thank you again.

RE: 2.7TB RAID Volume can only use 2.1TB
Date:
09/27/2007 13:51:04
I answered my own question. My one large RAID 5 volume
is recognized as a
MBR disk in windows. I need it to be recognized as a
GPT disk under windows
so I can utilize more than 2TB. The only issue is that
Windows Server 2003
cannot boot from a GPT disk unless I have an Itanium
system which I don't, so
I have to split my original RAID volume into two
volumes (100GB Boot ?
data). The 100GB volume will be recognized as a
regular MBR disk in windows,
however the 2.6TB volume will become a GPT disk and I
should be good to go.

Curt, you found your answer. I would just add that
volumes of that
size may present you with an extended outage if chkdsk
runs at some
point. I would consider breaking that large space in
into smaller,
more manageable chunks, and use mount points. Say 500
GB etc.
Just a thought.
