emilylsm Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 Hi, is anyone experienced shared documents in domain controller (Windows Server 2003 Standard) with .doc extension attribute changed become hidden system? All my shared .doc attribute changed to hidden system (HS). I have tried to do a full scan with Symantec, no virus was found. I tried to convert back to normal attribute but after a few hours it changed back to HS again. I have no idea how it happens! The are 4 DCs configured replicated each other and running DFS. Please advise. Thank you in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nomadturk Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 Would you mind checking your users for viruses?Since you're saying all those .doc files are on a shared area, it's more likely that a user has been infected by a virus, if not the server itself.Let me remind, i'm not experienced over domain systems or servers. I can only reccomend to check. (: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nomadturk Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 I have tried to do a full scan with Symantec, no virus was found. jaclazWell...I meant scanning with AN ANTIVIRUS. Not a Symantec product. Also, i meant the whole domain, not just the server.(: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iamtheky Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 Are you sure its not the location they are being shared from?Maybe sharing them off a different partition to see if its an attribute being propagated down.Any kind of file sharing off the primary domain controller is sketchy practices anyway. Why not use a client to act as a repository, if there is no dedicated file server? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
