I'm trying to install the Postgres ODBC 32bit driver on a Windows 2008 R2 64bit machine. After installing it, with no errors, I go to the ODBC panel, the 32bit version under the /syswow64 folder and try to add the driver, select the Postgres driver from the list but I get an error 126, saying he can't find the driver at the specified path.
The problem is that the path he shows me, is the exact path the driver is in, I double checked on the registery (on the HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\ODBC\ODBCINST.INI\ location) and it's fine there too.
A couple more people on technet have the same issue too.
Did anyone ever run into this? Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
edit: the driver works fine on my win7 x64 test machine, this behaviour only happens on the server.
To set up the scenario: One of our techs set one of the domain controllers to use Microsoft time. The time IS correct (including Time Zone) and DOES match the other domain controller's time; it was previously incorrect, however.
Since the change, no users can connect via \\servername\share or \\servername.domainname.com but \\ip\share works fine. I cannot even access it from the other domain controller with which I know both have the same time. The servername DOES resolve to the correct IP address. Also, strangely enough, \\domainname.com works as well which resolves to the same server. Finally Everything that I have tried does resolve to the same, correct IP address.
The error is: login failure: The target account name is incorrect.
I believe it is time related but since the times are correct and match I'm not sure.
Anyone know what might cause this?

Hi, I have a Dell 2850 and I want to install Windows 2008 Server. Problem is that my C drive only has 16GB of space. The requirements say I need at least 20. I have an open bay for a drive. If I put in another drive, how can I add that to the array and them make it only for the C drive? what do I do?
Thank you.
edit:
I don't want to remove any drives. I just want to add a new one to the existing array. Can I do that and make sure that new drive is for the logical C drive?

Good afternoon,
I'm sorry that this isn't a programming question specifically, but stackoverflow has been great at answering questions in the past, so I thought I'd give it a shot.
One of our Linux users attempted to install Cygwin on our Windows Server 2008 Domain Controller. Now it is no longer possible to browse the domain and see all of the computers. For example, \\my_domain_name will just bring up a username/password dialog box (that will not accept any username or password, even the domain administrator) and no computers will ever be listed.
However, I can still connect to computers based on their name or IP address. So \\eridanus or \\192.168.1.85 still work to connect to the shared directories of computers on our network.
Does anyone know where I can find these settings? and how I can fix this problem?
Thanks,
Giawa
When load testing on a SQL Server Box, using following (testfile is 25 GB)

I am using your excellent ts_blocker, release 20120530, on my server 2008 R2 Enterprise.
it works very fine, i use the vbs script, launched with wscript.
The only problem is that is does not work for users attempting to connect RDP from a mac intosh. With this machine the distant IP seems to be not recognized when the login fails.
The IP is visible when the login is good (event ID 4624) but not when it fails (Audit failure event ID 4625) : then the IP is not to be seen in the event log ! In the "network information" of the event log entry is nothing given.
Have you already been told of that and is there something to do ?
I am looking for a way to acomplish the following:
Currently users have home drives mapped via AD profile as follow: \\fileserver\users\username
However if once a user was able to access \\fileserver\users and view everyones folder, but had no access to them.
This is not ideal since we have people saving important stuff to on their drives. How can I restrict users permissions and views only to THEIR home drives?
I also saw this solution, but not sure if it would apply to me:
================================================================================
Share level permissions - Everyone full permission and remove all others
On the file/folder level set the following:
Authenticated users special permissions on the root of the \\server\homeshare\ to
Check the boxes next to the following:
Traverse folder / execute file
List Folder / read data
Read attributes
Read extended attributes / List item
All other boxed leave unchecked and make sure you apply "This Folder Only"
Domain Adminsfull rights and apply “this folder, subfolders, and files”
This will block the users from accessing other user home directories.
When you create the new user and set the home directory it will create the folder for you with the correct permissions.
I'm in need of a driverless printing solution for Microsoft Terminal Services 2003/2008.
This is mainly to support clients who are connected through broadband into our hosted servers.
We were hoping that MSTS 2008 thinprint would be the answer but unfortunately it performs poorly in the print area. The files are too large.
I found the following slightly outdated URL: http://www.msterminalservices.org/software/Printing/
This lists a number of products but I have no experience with any of them.
I'd like a product that works/easy to install (as our clients are remote and not particularly tech savvy) and ideally I just pay for the server license and not every clients.
What is your experience/recommendation and tips you can offer me in regards to TS printing?
thanks in advance.
We support an enterprise application running on Windows Server 2008 R2. One of our customers has chosen to install to VMWare, and what I'm finding is that the VM's are relatively slow compared to hardware. Our product development team has advised that many VMs appear to run particularly slow on I/O benchmarks, which impact performance in production.
I've tried the AttoSoft I/O benchmark and find that for smaller I/O blocks (1-32K) the VM I'm looking at is 25x slower than hardware and for larger I/O blocks (1-8MB) it's 10x slower.
Is this a fair benchmark? If not, any suggestions for a fair test?
Database administrators are often faced with the need to learn where features of his/her system live or reside on a less familiar system. Steve Callan approaches this need by mapping SQL Server features back into Oracle Database.
Here is the point.
I set Windows to display all the hidden files and protected operating system files but even after that, my antivirus (Kaspersky) is still getting a ".dll" file on "c:\windows\system32" saying it's a riskware 'Hidden.Object'.
I tried to find this file everytime but it's not there. So I asked one of the developers to create a service that verifies the folder each 5 seconds and, if it founds the file, copies to another place.
After a lot of research I just found out that every file with this same name on this specific server gets cloak, doesn't matter the file extension.
How can I found this kind of file? How can I "uncloak" it? How can I know what this file is doing?
On Wednesday 19 th January I held my first SQL Server in the Evening event at VMware’s UK headquarters in Frimley, Surrey and while the event opened my eyes as to the amount of work needed before and after the event it would not have been possible without four groups of people: Those who attended – I think I counted around 18 of you, the event was for you so I’m glad you came and later said you’d all come again. Those who hosted us – VMware – we were given the nicest facilities you could have asked...(read more)
I have a webpage (ASP.NET 4.0 / MVC 4).
On my development machine (i5-2500 3.3 8GB Win7 VS2010 SP1 Fujitsu Esprimo P700) the page performs with 160 requests/sec on devenv webserver on my machine. The page performs with 250 requests/sec on my local IIS 7.5. (uncompiled web)
The page performs with 20 requests per second on a 16core 32gb ram production server (Fujitsu RX-300 w2k8 rc2 IIS 7.5). (compiled web)
Why? I think it's the IIS configuration but i can't figure out whats the problem. The page runs with 1 worker process on both machines. Web garden is not an option (it helps but the app isnt compatible with)
I am trying to get a very simple batch script to run when my Windows 2008 Server (R2) system starts up. I have added the script to the "Startup Scripts" in the local group policy by running gpedit.msc, and I see the script listed under Windows Settings/Scripts (Startup/Shutdown)/Startup when I run rsop.msc, but the script is not being executed. The "Last Executed" column in rsop is empty even after a reboot, and a file that should be created by the script is never created.
At the moment, the entire contents of the script are:
rem Check if this script is running.
date /t > c:\temp\flag
The target directory (c:\temp) exists. The script is called c:\scripts\startup.bat, and works fine if I run it by hand.
In line with this post: http://www.hugheserblog.com/2012/05/22/error-creating-iis-smtp-virtual-servers/ I am receiving the same issues:
When we tried to add more than 4 IIS SMTP virtual servers, we got the error within IIS, “The system cannot find the path specified.”
This post is almost 2 years old and my server is up to date with Windows updates so I assumed it would be fixed already.
Does anyone know if I need to do something special (ie. contact Microsoft) to get a special fix for this? The information in the post suggests it should have been included in an update.
We have a Failover Cluster built up on 6 blades, each running Hyper V. Each box is running Server 2008 R2.
We've got a number of VMs running that all have the same basic config:
VHD stored on a cluster shared volume. 2 virtual NICs (1 for LAN connection and 1 for SAN connection).
All of our VMs will happily migrate between any other blade apart from one single VM which is running fine on it's current blade but will not migrate to any other location.
What could be the cause of it or where should I look to get a detailed error message as I can't seem to find much information logged in any of the logs.
Edit:
I know the usual culprit is mis-matching resource names. We've already been there with the NICs named differently on some of the blades. As far as we can tell now everything looks to be identical on each bit of metal.
My BIND server keeps dropping out and I can't work out why. Here is some info from the syslog that I think pertains to the failure(s):
Apr 22 21:12:17 dnsdebug named[6613]: mysql driver unable to return result set for lookup query
Apr 22 21:12:17 dnsdebug kernel: [285552.573949] type=1503 audit(1271963537.759:53): operation="open" pid=6618 parent=1 profile="/usr/sbin/named" requested_mask="::rw" denied_mask="::rw" fsuid=107 ouid=0 name="/dev/tty"
Apr 22 21:12:17 dnsdebug named[6613]: mysql driver unable to return result set for lookup query
Apr 22 21:13:17 dnsdebug named[6613]: last message repeated 7 times
Any ideas? Mysql had a segfault sometimes, but that seems to be no longer an issue. It's the 64bit version of ubuntu too.
Sometimes it will return records just fine, other times it appears to just randomly go down.
I can get around a server to some degree, but everything I have learned has been as I have needed to learn it. Every once in a while I will learn about some new command that will revolutionize how I think about systems and networking, and realize how I could have been using it this whole time if only I had known about it. Anything to bring someone from novice to some kind of fluency? Do I just need to earn the battle scars bit by bit over the course of years? (I mean of course I do but what can I do to help it be not quite so painful?)
For instance, I am still fuzzy on all of networking. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
