  1. Try typing telnet COMPUTERNAME 21 at the command prompt, you should get a response from the FTP server

    For example mine says: 220 Serv-U FTP Server v6.1 for WinSock ready...

    well for some reason I don't get the response from server ...

  2. I have an odd problem with connecting to FTP servers. All connections times out. Firewall is no problem, because I can't connect even if FW is turned off. Here is my network diagram

    | INTERNET |-------------| Gateway server - Win2K3 |-----------| Switch |-------| Workstation |

    Any ideas are welcome :)

  3. Thanks m8,

    I know that part :) however, I have a customer that doesn't really need additional server, actually, he already has more than he needs, a monster server that serves as DC ... now buying another server just to server SharePoint portal wouldn't make much sense ... I though that there might be some hack of doing this, because I can install MS SQL server and make SharePoint Services work with MSSQL, but when it comes to SharePoint portal it just wount work ... :)

  4. Sure, here is part of the instructions ...

    You must be running Internet Information Services (IIS) 6.0 on your Web server, and you must set it to run in IIS 6.0 worker process isolation mode instead of IIS 5.0 isolation mode. To communicate with SQL Server 2000 on the back-end servers, you must also configure the front-end Web server to use the TCP/IP protocol, rather than Named Pipes (the default).

  5. Hi everyone,

    Is it better to leave the job of DHCP + DNS to the router or to the server 2003 Box, which is also running AD.

    I am also wondering if it is just best to use router for dns, and use staic ip's.

    Your thoughts?

    cheers

    You CAN NOT authorize router DHCP server in AD ... so run DHCP from your Win2k3 box ...

    I'm not sure not being able to auth a router's DHCP service in AD would affect anything, since clients would still be able to grab IPs from any DHCP server on the network, including a router. It would, however, affect being able to use RIS, since I'v personally had issues with using non-AD DHCP servers and RIS. I'm sure there are ways to provision an AD network so that clients refuse anything except AD DHCP packets. I'd actually be interested to hear if anyone has ever done this :yes:

    I've tried few times using non-AD DHCP and there were always issues ... bunch of errors in event log, etc. ... I dont think MS thought of someone using third party DHCP server with AD :)

  6. I'm trying to install SPS 2003 on the box that acts as DC in AD ... I've tried both possibilities with MSDE and with MS SQL ... no matter what I do, when it comes to SPS installation this error appears ...

    This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way

    the only option is OK after what SPS is uninstalled ....

    any idea?

  8. why usin ris? dont make it such complicated ... therefor you have to deal with  syspreped image for every pc model youre going to install

    i use pxe netbood to boot into a dosnetbootdisk that makes a connection to a deploy point on a server and installs everything unattended incl. all update all driverpacks and so on .... big advantage : i never have to burn any cds ... just change the files /settings on the server ... and i can install every pc model i like without carein about images!! think about it!

    Well maybe you should share your experience with us and not only "I can do it like this ... think about it" .. if you know better way to deploy Windows and/or any other program beside RIS, please feel free to share your knowledge ... :)

  10. Check my reply here. Follow the step nr. 4 but pick High Security-Domain Controller instead of Member Server. Make sure you read enclosed material bafore you do anything. This is to be applied after you promote your server to DC.

    The best practice is to make an image of your server installation (Acronis True Image or Ghost) before you promote it, so in case of disaster, you can quickly go back ...
