Question Edited by Michael Tidmarsh

Can we use a Windows Server 2003 configured as a router to do qos when the switch does not support it?

Can a
Windows 2003 server be used as a QOS device to prioritize packets on the
network to prevent VOIP latency? The current switch and gateway do not support qos.

Remote Desktop – works from one XP machine but not the other

Jeffj60 — Tue, 29 Jun 2010 21:44:28 +0000

Computer 1 is XP desktop and can connect to RDP on several external servers. Computer 2 is XP laptop but cannot connect to any external servers. Both computers are on the same network. When laptop became available my desktop was replaced. Since then I cannot connect via RDP to external servers. I reconnected my old desktop and I CAN connect to external servers. Obvious solution would be throw out laptop. Does anyone have a better solution? Thanks for any help anyone can provide.

Server can access clients but clients cannot contact server

Dhruv — Mon, 01 Feb 2010 19:00:21 +0000

Hello, i have installed a new server 2003 standard, but after a week or so, i found that server can ping all clients but clients cannot connect server.

I have disabled firewall of clients but cannot disable firewall of server because it does not open, it says that some “services are used by users that might use NAT”.

i have emptied my event log to avoide any chance of failure.

does it really due to firewall ??

my server is also a dhcp server and sucessfully given ip to client and even can take remote desktop of clients.

Baseline Windows Server 2003 installation and configuration

TR — Wed, 25 Feb 2009 05:16:01 +0000

I have just loaded Windows Server 2003 onto my Dell server. It’s a pleasure to log onto it after struggling to load a RAID 5 driver for over a week.

I haven’t installed Active Directory, IIS or the RDP. I don’t have any internet connectivity although I’ve plugged it into my home wireless router.

Would anyone have some sort of an order of events for loading/configuring the needed components to eventually facilitate RDP capability?

I’m server ignorant although I will work it out in the end and hopefully some of you can help me along the way.

Thanks.

Loading Windows Server 2003 – Raid 5 (3 X 500Gb Drives)

TR — Sat, 21 Feb 2009 16:26:02 +0000

Please forgive my ignorance, I usually deal in code and applications, servers and loading OS’s onto them is like talking Klingon to me right now, but I’m learning.

I was stupid enough to buy a Dell PowerEdge 800 server with 3 x 500Gb disks already installed (and configured) as a RAID 5. I could have bought Server 2003 already installed for $300 but oh no, I know best so since I made the wise decision to do it myself and I’ve probably lost $1,500 in time spent in banging my head against the wall and getting nowhere fast. As they say, ‘we pay for our experiences’.

It appears that the problem is that the Server 2003 setup utility isn’t seeing the drives because when the server immediately boots I get a “No logical drives found” message.

I’m certain that the HD’s are there and that the RAID for them is configured properly, it would appear that the HD’s (or RAID?) isn’t being mounted properly hence the OS can’t load and I get a very helpful “Setup did not find any hard disk drives installed on your computer” message.

Would any of you brighter and no doubt more sensible people have any idea as to how I can break this infinite loop? I will happily pay for beer, make PayPal donations, send milk tokens etc etc to anyone who can assist.

Thanks.
