Check permissions to the spool directory, this is likely to cause the same

Subject: Out of Disk Space - When printing


Okay I've encountered this before and can't remember how to fix it.

When printing to a HP DeskJet printer (880c) I receive "Out of disk space"
message. Doesn't matter if user is admin or domain user and yes I have
plenty of HD space avail (4.8gig). Printer is attached locally to PC w/
parallel, running NT 4 sp6a.

Anyone else ran into this?

  I am having a sort of weird problem on one of my NT4.0 SP6a 
  servers. A while back I had to clean the server - chkdsk - seemed to work 
  ok.
   
  After that this problem keeps occurring. One day I noticed that the 
  files - not any directories just files -  in the c:\winnt 
  directory were gone except for two of them. I copied the files from 
  another identical NT box in to this server's winnt directory. A day or so 
  later they were gone again. I copied them into the dir again, a day later 
  they are gone. I KNOW that the server does not have any viruses. I can 
  only figure that the server may have a corrupt file system and needs to be 
  cleaned once more. 
   
  Any suggestions?

RE: Multiple subnets controlled through DHCP

2001-09-26 Thread Flanagan, Kevin

I would refer you to a signature that I use on new messages

"You manage things, you lead people. We went overboard on management and
forgot about leadership. It might help if we ran the MBAs out of
Washington."  - Admiral Grace Hopper.


Have the managers lead people, have them stop trying to make you manage
people with technology.  I'm currently working at a place where there are
limits about who has internet access, except for email.  This is the first
place that I worked that did that.  I figure that if you do your job, you
should be able to take a minute to see yahoo etc.  There's another
conversation on another list about 30 vs 60 minute lunches.  Man, if you
have to worry about that, it's time to look for another job.  Unfortunately
there are way too many micromanagers out there.




Good luck,

Kevin

Yeah, that's what I thought...   damn

The filtering box can use radius accounting packets but our firewall doesn't
support them, and that was the main way of doing the filtering levels.  Oh,
and it's the guys that make the filtering box that have suggested this new
idea of different logical subnets.

The only way that I can see would be ip reservations, and I really dont want
to do that.  Too much Admin if computers get moved around.  At the moment
some people (management) get static IP addresses and I'm trying to get them
to accept that there is no need for that.

VLANS are an option, but not one I want to go down right now, as I'm not
really knowledgable in that area yet.  And I'm not sure how the whole thing
would work... :-)

And it's still an NT4 domain at the moment, so GPO's are out too...

Thanks for the info Kevin.  More reading needed for me I think... :-)

There's a few things you can do, but subnets aren't among them in your flat
network.  DHCP can only assign addresses on subnets that exist, you have
one.

How many clients?  If you have a small # you could do reservations that are
in groups, then do the rules based on the ranges you assign.

If you did VLANS you could have a scope for each one, then just change VLANS
when you want to adjust things.  Without them you are fairly limited. Could
you do GPOs based on computername/userid for your "filters"?


Good luck,

Hey Guys,

I've been told that DHCP can be made to assign differnet subnets of ip
addresses to clients (somehow - some group membership maybe?) so that we
will have some 'virtual' subnets in our network. All very strange and new to
me - any ideas out there?

Here's the scenario (in case you need more information):

We have an NT network, but are slowly moving towards Win2K - and for that
purpose, we have a Win2K DHCP server.  We also have a box that does our
Internet Filtering, and this can be configured to give different levels of
filtering to different 'subnets'.  So the idea is to have DHCP assign the
different IP addresses to the different groups of people and thus the
different filtering rules will apply... (how many times can you use the work
different ...)

Any ideas most welcome...

Oh, we have a flat, non-routed domain, running mainly off one switch and a

RE: Windows 2000 or Windows XP

2001-09-12 Thread Flanagan, Kevin

I strongly agree with the lab setup, you need more than just the DCs, you
need a fair representation of all major systems running that will have
interaction with the Domain Controllers/GCs in the new world. 


I did a 2K setup, but would wait for XP if time permits, unless you have a
very simple AD design.  XP will have some stuff that may be easier to
implement from scratch, AD replication partitioning comes to mind.



Good luck,


Kevin

Sound advice regarding the setting up of a lab and I certainly intend to put

Have run the client beta of XP a couple of times and although very impressed
with the features, feel and especially would could be the invaluable

  Admin IssuesSubject: RE: Installing second CPU
  use 
  UPTOMP.  Or use the snip below from Anthony Bennett:
  
  Forget UPTOMP.
  I have successfully used the following technique as provided 
  by Microsoft:
  1) Put 2nd processor in
  2) Regurgitated from archive (courtesy of Dave Nestor from 
  Microsoft):
  
  I would recommend 
  against using Uptomp.exe unless you have revision 3 of the NT4 Resource Kit. A simpler way to do this is 
  to edit the hidden, read-only file 
  called setup.log that's in the \WINNT\Repair directory and reapply your current service pack. Update.exe from the 
  service pack relies on information in 
  setup.log for the proper files to install, it does not do any discovery process, so if the wrong 
  information is in that file, a dual 
  processor computer can be blindly returned to single processor 
  mode. Six files in the System32 
  directory determine NT's multiprocessor 
  capability. NT is multiprocessor 
  by default which is why we load the 
  mutliprocessor kernel during a fresh install. Later during that 
  install, if
  only a single processor 
  is found, we install hal.dll or halapic.dll and 
  rename it to hal.dll and copy in ntoskrnl.exe. Setup will also 
  "smash locks" on four other files, 
  kernel32.dll, ntdll.dll, win32k.sys and 
  winsrv.dll to make them single processor versions. Failure to alter 
  those four files will burden a single 
  processor computer with about a 5% 
  performance 
  hit.
   
  Therefore, the manual 
  way to do an upgrade is, from a command prompt only (using a GUI will give you an access 
  violation) rename the current six files 
  to *.old and copy in fresh versions of
   kernel32.dll
  ntdll.dll
  win32k.sys
  winsrv.dll
  halmps.dll and rename it to 
  hal.dll
  ntkrnlmp.exe and rename it to 
  ntoskrnl.exe
  Of course, these had 
  better be files from your current service pack and not from the original CD.  Now you're left with the problem 
  of the setup.log file containing single 
  processor 
  information. The next service pack install will move you back to
  a single processor 
  version of NT. So edit that file with the following information, being careful to enter the 
  correct checksums which will tell the next service pack not to "smash locks" on four 
  files.
  \WINNT\system32\ntoskrnl.exe = 
  "ntkrnlmp.exe","e76ab"
  \WINNT\system32\hal.dll = 
  "halmps.dll","1a01c"
  \WINNT\system32\kernel32.dll = 
  "kernel32.dll","5b7f8"
  \WINNT\system32\ntdll.dll = 
  "ntdll.dll","59c19"
  \WINNT\system32\win32k.sys = 
  "win32k.sys","132603"
  \WINNT\system32\winsrv.dll = 
  "winsrv.dll","37b4e"
  Do a notepad search on 
  the individual file names to find these lines, since they are not together in setup.log. OK, now 
  you're done. Or, edit the setup.log 
  first and reapply your current service pack. That's the quick way to do this.

  Anthony Bennett

Hi folks,

In the NT 4.0 world, processor queue length was supposed to be at 2 or below
(for the most part). In Win2K, experience tells me that 3 is fairly normal.
We've got a few servers running Win2K server, and various CPU's, memory etc,
but they all seem to get to 3 quite a bit (even simple file and print
servers).

Have other people seen this? I tried to find the official word from MS about
this, but it looks like the rehash of NT 4.0 stuff, and not updated.

Comments??

RE: NEW to login scripts

2001-08-29 Thread Flanagan, Kevin

First things first, get acquainted with Vbscript, it's the best login script
processor, you can do a lot, and once you have a basic script you can easily
change it.


Logically you'd do the following

When setting up the account create their home drive, a share that is
something like \\server\username$  The $ makes it a hidden share, that way
your browse list isn't thousands of shares.  Be sure to put this as their
home drive in the user properties.

The login script can then tell the process "Map the homedrive"  That's it.

Now you have a login script, you will find things that you can do
automatically.

RE: Migration File server data from NT4 to W2k

2001-08-28 Thread Flanagan, Kevin
Title: Message



This 
depends greatly on your approach to the whole Win2K migration as well as your 
existing security environment.
 
 If you have opted to build a parallel Win2K AD and create trusts it's a 
lot easier.  Robocopy with the /s option works great in this config. This 
assumes that you are migrating users and groups of course, ADMT works great 
within the limits of it's design.  It keeps SID history so your data left 
in the NT4 domain is accessible.  Because you have a trust and migrate your 
groups the security in the new domain will be all set on the 
data.
 
 
 
 
 
Good 
luck,

RE: Authenticating from a subnet without a BDC.

2001-08-27 Thread Flanagan, Kevin

I have seen similar problems with Firewall 1, we didn't find the real cause,
not controlling the Firewall will do that.  Here's what we did.


Create an LMHOSTS file on the WINS server, carefully format it to stuff in
the 16th character that indicates who your PDC is, then go into WINSadmin
and import the file, it creates a static WINS entry with the extra bit to
define the service.

This will let your authentication be unicast instead of broadcast, it's a
lot cleaner and is the only way I've found to force WINS to know who has the
function.



Good luck.

I've not changed anything in my PIX configuration. I have been watching the

I downloaded WS_Ping ProPack, and it can gather limited information, but
since it's on a DMZ, most ports are blocked. The methodology involved is
that all can get to the DMZ, and only initiated connections can be used,
unless I've created a conduit through the PIX.  Which I've done for my PDC,
TCP/UDP on ports 137-139. I *thought* this was all that was needed.  Thanks
for the advice, I'll continue plugging away.

RE: W2K DC requirements

2001-08-21 Thread Flanagan, Kevin

Generally speaking folks tend to draw the line at PII 400 with 256 MB of RAM
or thereabouts for DCs.  I think that you don't need a gig of RAM, unless
you have a huge org.  Your first DC will have all of the FSMO roles so it
really should be a bit beefier, unless you want to shuffle things around.  


Hardware RAID is a MUST for DCs, depending on the size of your org your RAID
config would vary.  


AD is your chance to combine domains, not split, unless you have a REALLY
compelling reason, you should use OUs to divide stuff.

Our current setup has 2 DC's (NT4).  The rest of our network is pretty much 
all W2K Pro desktops and 5 W2K stand-alone servers.

Our DC's are both Dell PE-2100, single Pentium Pro 200, 256 Mb 
RAM.  (Unfortunately, this maxes out their RAM capacity.)  It is our 
concern with these servers that is delaying our conversion to full native 
mode W2K.

We have already been told to get a "real" server as a first CD for 
AD.  (Dual processors, a gig of RAM, RAID 1.)  Are the PE-2100's adequate 
as additional DC's?  (Disk space is not currently an issue.)

Further complications - we plan to split our domain into two separate 
domains within a single domain tree.  Do we still -given that we acquire 
one new dual-processor gigabyte machine- have adequate hardware?  TIA!

RE: Browser/WINS issues

2001-08-20 Thread Flanagan, Kevin
Title: Message



I 
don't wonder that you have browser problems!  Do you have any way to do 
what is the router equivalent of setting the BOOTP/DHCP helper address with 
these switches?  If you do you can bring the multi homed down to one 
NIC.  I bet your browser problems would get better.

  issues
  Hello everyone,
   
  i have a question that i have been fighting with 
  here.  i have 2 AD controllers on our network in the same vlan.  one 
  of the controllers is multihomed (5 nics - 1 for each vlan for dhcp across the 
  different subnets).  i am having browser issues.  is there any way 
  to have just one of the nics in the multihomed machine use the browser 
  service?  i am trying to have the domain master browser on the multihomed 
  machine on 1 of the nics (vlan 30).  the backup browser i want on the 2nd 
  controller (not multihomed - vlan 30).  what is the best way to configure 
  this?  anyone been here before?  thanks for any input in 
  advance.
   
  everyone can see vlan 30 just to 
  note.

DHCP server creates its own registry backup i.e 
\winnt\system32\DHCP\backup\DHCPcfg the file has no extension. It can be 
imported  to the registry using the regedt32 utility, however, I 
need to import it in a batch file.

I have tried reg from the resource

neither

RE: Diskeeper running on Lotus notes server version 5

2001-08-17 Thread Flanagan, Kevin

Do NOT try to defrag a notes server of any flavor!  It'll hose notes beyond
belief.  Besides it's pretty much useless, notes databases are one file
each, those things don't defrag the innards of the database, you have to
make a scheduled notes job to do that.

Look to make sure you don't have any services running with that 
Administrator Account.  You'll have to stop the service and restart 
using the new password if you do.

Hey guys,
 
I think it is about time for me to change the built in Domain 
administrator password. We have NT domain controllers and couple of W2K 
servers. Is there anything that I have to look into closely, before I go 
about doing this. 
Thanks in advance for all your help.

Joe,
 
 
    I've got to tell you, just this once, the goofy "r 
u" stuff means that you wouldn't get a serious response from several 
folks.  It's another matter entirely if English isn't your primary language 
though.  My perception of someone who writes like that is that they aren't 
taking things even a little bit seriously.  It may not be the case, but 
that's my perception.
