I'm seeing a strange issue here on a Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise box. None of the terminal services sessions (RDP) can load webpages including admins. They can ping, trace route but not browse to websites. Even Quickbooks can't get out to the internet to download transactions. If I login...

Client has an excel spreadsheet with approx. 30 tabs (worksheets). Every 3 worksheets is specific to an employee's name. Example: sheet1 = employee1 name cover page sheet 2 = employee1 profit/loss sheet 3 = employee1 total revenue <-- culprit For some reason when he tries to print to file...

Hi all, I'm looking for a 1TB or more network hard drive that will function as my file repository. Not sure what the difference is between NAS or SAN as it seems interchangeable but I need 10 users to access the files from the network drive as a mapped drive on their workstations. Think file...

Hello all, I want to prevent my terminal services users from browsing the web when connected to my win2k3 terminal server. It's not the best method but one that should be easily implemented- Setting a Group Policy to create a "fake" web proxy in IE. I am attaching a screenshot to show my GPO...

Hello all, users are reporting that network files are very slow to access when opening them from a network drive. The network drives open fast initially but once I start copying files between network/local folders or accessing spreadsheets it is brutally slow. As an example, a 20mb file from...

Hey all, i'm in a pickle here... I have two domain controllers on my Windows network. Server A is Windows 2000 and Server B is Windows 2003. Over the weekend Server A (Win2000) crashed. Now, it is taking users an unusually long time to authenticate to network and Internet traffic is...

Hello all, I've posted here before regarding trojans found on my Win2003 server... http://www.tek-tips.com/viewthread.cfm?qid=1567911 Thought the problem was over since I removed the suspicious and identified files that were causing the issue. Last night (10 days later) the problem reappeared...

Hi, I am using a handy tool called Netstat Agent that shows all incoming/outgoing port connections. I am seeing this pop up every few minutes; Port - tcp Local address 192.168.1.X (my server) Local Port - msolap-ptp2 Remote Address - PC-20050101010039 (no such workstation in my Active...

Hi all, my network is infected with either a VUNDO variant or something equally as bad. I don't want to post the logs just yet, nor am I seeking advise for removal. I have already identified the main infected file to be SVCHOST.EXE which will be deleted after I restart my Win2k3 server. My...

Hi all, My 16gb USB flash key is suddenly super-slow every time I plug it into my Windows machine. The cursor turns into the hour glass upon opening My Computer and then from there for me to load up TrueCrypt (half the key is encrypted) takes an awfully long time. I know defragging a flash key...

Hello all, after much browsing and researching I am stumped as to why my Domain Users are failing Pre-authentication (675)every time and also why Authentication Ticket Requests are failing (672) with a blank message (673). I am in an Active Directory/Windows 2003 domain environment. The...

Hey all, I am in need of urgent advice concerning a *critical* issue. Since about two weeks ago, I have log records of [unauthorized] Login Failures happening on my Terminal Server at off-peak records. I am using LANGuard Log Event monitor to help alert me to these things, so I have all the...

Hello can someone clarify this for me... I installed GFI Languard a few days ago to alert me of event viewer logs. Last few nights I get bombarded with messages in the middle of the night stating that a Machine is failing to login to my domain controller: Note: DomainController is my DC Server...

Posted this once before here: thread779-1358274 Also just now posted video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H7CFLxH0irg It's very grainy but you'll get the point. Basically, at random times the packets skyrocket to the billions, trllions++ with no end in sight. Network Utilization shows 0%...

Hi all, my current network is running on a dedicated T1 with backup DSL for a few machines (load balancing). In my pessimistic thoughts, I imagined these scenarios: one day the T1 may go down, Dual-LAN router may go down (kill both connections), terminal services stop working or switch might...

I have a feeling this will be a newbie-like question but here is my situation; A certain PC has a statc IP set to: IP: 192.168.1.16 It's host name shows Hostname: dummy.server.com if I scan with an IP scanning app and an nslookup on .1.16 confirms that the name is Dummy However in Windows and...

I am getting these reports from a nify management utility called Spotlight on Windows. "XXXX pages/second are being moved from virtual memory to physical RAM." Where my XXXX is usually 1,000+ but sometimes in the hundreds range. The server is my Terminal Server where dozens of users connect...

Hi, perhaps this is a ultra-newbie question but i've never paid attention to this before. Some of my network files are displayed in blue text as opposed to the standard black text. The only difference is the attribute which is A for black color and C for blue. I'm almost sure this has started...

Does anyone know if it's possible to restrict local admin accounts from accessing RDP in a windows 2k3 server environment? I enabled RDP on Win2k3 server, chose "Select Remote Users" and added two Domain Admin accounts and removed Local Administrator. However the message at the top says "any...

Hi, I am doing a server cleanup on our Domain Controller. Using TreeSize (nice, free app), I was able to determine that my System Volume Information folder is very large as compared to the last time I checked it (months ago). The folder itself seems empty but going to START -> RUN -> "sysvol" I...
