DNS is set to Secure Updates. To try to resolve here is what I have tried: I deleted the entries from DNS From the server referenced in the log I ran: ipconfig /registerdns net stop netlogon net start netlogon I will post back if this resolves my issue. Phil.

The DC continually records a security error 566 in the security log for a Member Server: Object Operation: Object Server: DS Operation Type: Object Access Object Type: dnsNode Object Name: DC=5,DC=0.168.192.in-addr.arpa,CN=MicrosoftDNS,DC=ForestDnsZones,DC=domain,DC=com Handle ID: - Primary User Name: MY-DC$ Primary Domain: MYDOMAIN Primary Logon ID: (0x0,0x3E7) Client User Name: APP$ Client Domain: MYDOMAIN Client Logon ID: (0x0,0x14FB00B) Accesses: Write Self Properties: --- Default property set dnsRecord dNSTombstoned dnsNode Additional Info: Additional Info2: Access Mask: 0x8 For more information, see Help and Support Center at Note:(server names changed) The server in question used to be called SERVER A and was used to house exchange SERVER B was application server (house SOPHOS AV) I renamed server B to SERVER C (new file server) I reset the AD account of SERVER A I re-installed the OS for SERVER A I named re-build SERVER B then joined to domain (needed to keep same name + IP to migrate SOPHOS) Hope that all makes sense!! Thanks, Phil. security_error.txt

As a workaround I have amended path back to: boot\x86\pxeboot.com I can now capture the image. Would like to have both options? Thanks, Phil.

HI. I upgraded our production server from RIS to WDS. I would like to deploy a WIM image to a handful of clients, however on PXE boot I am only seeing the Legacy Images not the 'Capture' + 'Discover' images I added in WDS? I modified the 'Default Boot Program' to read: x86 Architecture: OSChooser\i386\startrom.com (to enable boot of legacy images). How can I get to see those + the WIM images?? Bit of a panic as the machines I am trying to image are needed urgently (arn't they all!!). Many Thanks, Phil.

If I select 'Manage Authorized Servers' from the root node of the DHCP server it lists a number of servers that are no longer valid (they have been removed or IP has changed). If I highlight the server in question then select 'Unauthorize' I receive: 'There is no such object on the server' message. How do I delete these entries? Thanks in Advance, Phil.

Thanks for the replies, I will have a look into the IPSEC Policy. Another guy has mentioned Local Loop Back so that is something else to look at. Many Thanks, Phil.

I would like to deny a group of computers access to the Internet. Why? The Computers in question are used internally for testing hardware and do not require Internet Access (I do not want to use a Anti Virus license) although they do require access to the corporate LAN. I have a domain local security group to which I have added the computers. I have added this group to the GPO filter. I have manually configured the Proxy Settings on the affected computers and have then simply hidden the connections tab via group policy (Computers). However this is not bullet proof and only applies to IE. Are there any custom GP templates I could install to assist, or does anyone have advice on how I can acheive my goal? Many Thanks, Phil.

I have just purchased a new application server "Windows 2003 Standard SP2 64bit". Currently I have an older server that was upgraded to SP2 after RIS service was installed (therefore supports legacy images). The server also runs an application 'em Boot' which is a RIS menu editor which displays .img images to clients. My question: My new server came with SP2 pre-installed so I only have WDS? I was wondering if the legacy .img images would be visible if I installed em Boot on the new server or whether it would be WDS that deployed the image? Hope that makes sense to somebody!! Thanks, Phil.

Has anyone been unfortuante enough to have to recover a failed DC from tape? If yes can you advise the steps you took. I am testing backup / restore. My scenario: I have a single site single domain. 2 DC's 1 Windows 2003 Standard SP2 + 1 Member Server running exchange on a 2003 platform. The DC holding the FSMO roles dies. I want to recover it. I have a full backup of the failed server (System State / Drice C: etc...) New hardware arrives. I configure the arrays as before then reinstall the OS. Re-Install Symantec Backup Exec Software What steps should I now follow? Should I: Service Pack the server (i.e. from SP1 to SP2) Promote to DC via dcpromo install DNS Re-Install DHCP or will restoring from tape do all of the above for me? Regards, Phil.

Hi. Has anyone recovered a failed DC from tape media? I would like to test the process in a test lab. have 2 scenarios. Configuration: Windows 2003 Server Standard Single Site / Single Domain Single DC holding all FSMO Roles Network also has Exchange on a member server. Scenario 1: The DC fails, catastrophic hardware failure (RAID lost). New hardware arrives. Steps to recover from tape? 1) Configure partitioning as before. 2) Reinstall OS 3) Reinstall backup software (i.e. Symantec backup exec) 3) Boot to Directory Recovery Restore Mode - Recover from tape: Drive C + System State? Scenario 2: Same as above but there are 2 DC's in the domain. Tips and advice appreciated. Phil.

Getting there. I created Capture & Discover images from vista boot.wim. I managed to capture XP image then this uploaded to the WDS server when complete. I then wanted to deploy this image. I PXE booted machine. The boot images were displayed. I selected 'Discover' image but no images were displayed? Just started to run the 'Windows is loading files'??? Any ideas? Phil.

Thanks for the reply. Were you deploying XP images? Phil.

Where oh where am i going wrong? I am still failing, in fact I have gone backwards!! Here is what I have spent the last few days doing: As I have stated previously I would like to image machines with an XP Pro Image using WDS. Here are the recent steps that I have taken:

Can anyone explain how I should best configure Virtual Server 2005 R2? Here's what I have and what I want to achieve: I have a Virtual Network that is set to use the network adapter on the physical computer. I Created a VM running Windows 2003 Standard and configured this to be a DC/DNS/DHCP server. Server: SRV1 Domain: test.loacl TCP/IP Settings: IP 172.16.5.1 SN: 255.255.255.0 DG: 172.16.5.9 DNS: 172.16.5.1 DHCP Scope: 172.16.5.0/255.255.255.0 blah..... I then created a VM running Windows XP Pro. The only way I can join my XP Pro VM to the test.local domain is to assign a static IP: 172.16.5.? That is OK initially. However once I have joined the XP Pro VM to the domain I want to remove the static settings and have the SRV1 issue the TCP/IP settings. There is a DHCP Server on the Virtual Network Properties. I tried configuring this to my IP Range but got a IP conflict when I started my 2003 VM / XP Pro VM? So how can I configure my test lab to act like a standard network (i.e. the VM clients receive IP from the VM Server acting as the DC)? Hope I have made sense? Just to note I only have a single NIC on my PC. Thanks in advance, Phil.

Thanks guys. I am back in the office tomorrow. I will have another try Many Thanks, Phil.
