Hi all,

I want to ask a question with regards to publishing printers in Active directory. I am running a windows 2003 server domain in mixed mode. On my print server, I select the option “List in the directory” and when I add a printer from one of the client computers I am able to see all the printers.

At any rate, even though I have the GPO enabled, I don't see any printers in AD. If I then go to the Users and computers right click on new and select printer and enter the UNC of the device, I get...

In am running window 2008 on VMware and currently want to set up DCPRO as a virtual center which is supported by windows 2008 server as indicated on the manual. Running DCPRO I receive the error below about ports are already in use. Issuing the NETSH – a commands shows the ports are NOT in use. 

Removing the static RPC mapping per KB 92985 fixes the problem. Note the range I used to statically map starts at TCP 49, 172 which does not involve ports mentioned as already in use. See below.

Any idea what is going on?

The error is as follows:

Hi experts,

I am setting up windows Essential business server installation wizard. I have already configured the MMSC configuration container in active directory including the status of each server set up. I think I made a mistake of manually cleaning up the active directory objects and settings and thus damaging the directory, the environment required by Windows Essential Business Server. Now I keep getting the following error message;

Windows Essential Business Server Error

Domain Join Error

Setup failed to find the server : Messaging in Active Directory.

Close

 I know the error came about by cleaning the directory manually. My question,...

Hi,

I'm learning on how to install and run Windows Server 2008 in a non production environment to make sure I understand how to configure it. This is a brand new environment - there are no other AD or DNS servers. I'm running the AD DS wizard (I have not installed DNS on this server yet - it mentioned it would set up DNS during the AD DS setup - should I have set it up first?)



A delegation for this DNS server cannot be created because the authoritative parent zone cannot...

Hi!

I  visited some links that I have in my Excel spreadsheet. When I clicked one of the links, it started exploring in Google Chrome and gave an error as seen in the image. That link was of some hosting site. It wasn’t getting me to that main. I tried many times to open that link in the explorer but I was receiving the same error.

The webpage at https://localhost:8081/might be temporarily down or it may have moved permanently to a new web address.
