Blank Screen during 2008 Standard Installation

I have a Dell Poweredge 700 that I am trying to install Windows 2008 Server Standard on. I boot from the installation DVD and it goes through the initial process where you see the black and white status bar. Then for a split second I see a green status bar and then just a blank black screen. Any idea what might be causing this? Possible driver issue? Thanks, Tom

GPO doesn't work for specific OU

Hello, I created a new OU for a single Win 2003 Std R2 SP2 Term Server. I then right-clicked on the OU and chose "Create & Link a GPO here". Under "Links", I right-clicked on the OU and there are checks next to "Enforced" and "Link Enabled". I then edited the GP for the OU by right-clicking on the GPO and choosing "Edit". I did a test edit by going to: User Conf \ Admin Temp \ Start Menu and Taskbar and set "Remove Run Menu from Start Menu" to Enabled. It's not taking, and I can't seem to find the reason on the DC's EV\App or EV\System logs. On the Term Serv's EV\A

Delegate Group Policy Creation

Running Windows 2008 server and have added delegated users to the Group Policy Creator Owners group. From their Windows XP workstations, they are launching the Group Policy Management Console but run into the following problem: When they try to create a new group policy object, they get so far as to name the object. The app then hangs and eventually errors out with a "The system cannot find the path specified." error message. Domain admins get the same error when trying to create a new object from their Windows XP workstations. Any suggestions?

Windows 2008 local printer port disappears

Hi, We have a Windows 2008 server which is working as file and print server, as part of its role we have what we call a BIN printer installed on it. Basically this is a fake printer which we set up on a Local Port called null so that anything that is printed to it is deleted handy for miss sent prints. The trouble is when ever the print spooler is restarted the null port disappears, the printer is still there but is now offline. I have tried with different port names but the same thing happens. Can anyone help? Thanks, Anthony

Server 2003 slow copying from external drives

I just re-installed SBS 2003 when the drives in the RAID array failed. I rebuilt it without a RAID. I am experiencing excrutiatingly slow copying from external USB drives. All Windows freeze while copying a large file (2GB+) from the external drive to the C drive. I have tried more than one external drive to eliminate drive problems as a cause. I have scanned the c: drive (chkdsk /R /X c:) for errors and found none. Copying from internal drive to internal drive does not cause the freezing or very slow copy speeds. This is a Dell Poweredge sc420 with dual Hitachi 500

Server 2008 start program on connection

Server 2008 R2 64 bit. I want to open Outlook automatically when RDP clients connect. I have checked "Allow any program to run on clients startup" (?) in remoteprograms.msc on the server and check the "Start the following program on connection:" and listed Outlook in the Program path. Outlook does start, however the Start menu is not available and closing Outlook closes the RDP session. How can I get Outlook to start on connection and still allow the client to open other programs?

Server 2003 continually rebooting.....

I was elected to solve a serious issue for our little company, but I am having serious problems figuring it out. Our Dell Poweredge SC420 (running Windows SBS 2003) starting rebooting continually. This was odd as we have a 2 drive RAID 1 built in and I thought the second drive would take over should the first one fail. (It may well have....I would not be surprised if the warnings were ignored until both drives failed.) Nonetheless, here I am. I have replaced the main hard drive and disconnected the second drive. I have restored the primary drive's partitions from Acronis 9.

Move TS CAL from one server to another

Hi.. We need to move from one old server to as new one. Similar Setup, only hardware change (upgrade). Old Server is working and have 10 Terminal Server CAL installed. New Server is installed, and soon will be online, and Old Server will still online only for test (we don't need TS CAL in OLD server).

How can I ghet the License Info from Old Server and setup it to a new one? thanks in advance for any suggestion... Regards Luis Falch

Simple NTFS task, can't figure it out!?

On an SBS 2003 there is a folder d:\data which contains several subfolders. Built in group Users has full access to folder d:\data and, through heritage, to all subfolders. Now there is one temporary User which should be granted read/write access to *only* one subfolder, i.e. d:\data\2010. All other subfolders should not be accessible, even better not visible (but this does not work, I think). I thought this would be an easy task, but I can't figure it out. I solved it creating a group called NoRightsForUserX, added the User and added this group manually to 55 subsfolders wit

xcopy/robocopy pdfs created yesterday and today only.

I have done research but I cant find how to make either xcopy or robocopy, copy files with creation dates that are dynamic. I have a folder that contains over a million pdfs. At the moment, it backs up the entire folder, overwriting the existing pdfs, but as you can imagine, this takes a long time and there is a chance that what WAS a good pdf, with a bad copy. (but vice versa). Anyone have any ideas on how I can run a batch file, that will look at the creation date, and only copy ones created created today and yesterday. I can then use scheduler to kick it off once an hour, to

.msi File Editing

I aplogize for posting this message here. I did not know where else to post it. If there is a more appropriate newsgroup, please point me to it. I have a .msi file created for installing Autodesk Architectural Desktop 2006 from an administrative image. This file was created when a prior server was in use. The new server has a different name and now the pathing contained within the file is no longer valid. The folder structure on the new server is the same, only the server name in the pathing needs to be changed. I would like to know how to edit the .msi file to change the serv

Print Server reporting

hi All, i have two print servers, one is a windows 2000 server and one is windows server 2003. I've been requested to compile a list of printers and associated IP's. Does anyone know a simple way to retrieve this information other than to manually select each printer look at the info and type it into a spreadsheet? I've looked into the print server management pack but it appears to require mom2005 and i'm not even sure if it will report names and IP's. thanks in advance,

Office 2010 KMS on Server 2008R2

We currently have a KMS running on Server 2008 to activate windows servers. I have setup a new server running server 2008R2. I entered a MAK to activate the server itself. I then ran the KeyManagementServiceHost.exe and entered the KMS host product key. I received the reply "Microsoft Office 2010 KMS host product key has been successufully installed and activated" and I have 6 installs of Office 2010 Pro plus, but when I run slmgr/dlv, I see product key information related to the windows server 2008R2 instead of Office. There is nothing in the log for KMS.
