When I try to start Process Monitor from SysInternals on some 64 bit windows 7 machines,the process fails to start. There is no error message. I double click and nothing happens. Other 64 bit windows 7 computers work fine. Any ideas?

When I execute schtasks /query /s serverName /u serverName\user /p password
I get an Access is denied
error. serverName\user
is in the Administrators group on server.
Any ideas?
I am trying to stop and then disable a remote task from a build script. The remote server is Server 2k8. The client running the script is Windows 7. Both machines are joined to the domain.
When I run schtasks /Change /S remoteServer /TN "theTask"
, I get an error ERROR: The specified task name "theTask" does not exist in the system.
If I run this command locally, everything works. I've verified that the domain user account I am logged into on my computer has administrator privileges to the remote computer.
If I run schtasks /Query
on the remote computer, I get a listing of all scheduled tasks. If I run the same command remotely with the /S
switch, only two legacy tasks (Google update tasks) return.
My initial thought was that this could be a permissions error, but when I try to run schtasks
using the /u
switch, I get ERROR: The request is not supported
, which makes no sense because both the client and server are running the modern version of windows scheduler. I'm very confused.
What do I need to do to allow schtasks
remote access to ALL the tasks on a server?
Edit: schtasks
seems to only be returning the list of "v1" style tasks.
I know how to add an SSL cert to SSRS 2008. Is there a way to force SSRS to use SSL (port 443) exclusively? Right now it will respond to both encrypted and unencrypted requests.
IIS has the Require Secure Channel option. Does SSRS have the same?
I am running IIS and SQL Reporting Server on the same server. IIS runs as d\acct1
and SSRS is running as d\acct2
.
Initially, I registered an SPN HTTP/server.d.com
for both d\acct1
and d\acct2
and configured both for unconstrained kerberos delegation in Active Directory.
This configuration broke kerberos because there were duplicate SPNs for HTTP/server.d.com
.
If I delete the SPN for SSRS, IIS works. If I delete the SPN for IIS, SSRS works.
Is there a way to share an SPN between two different service accounts that run on the same server such that they do not create a duplicate SPN?
Or, must I create two A records in active directory for iis.server.d.com
and reports.server.d.com
and use host headers to keep the two aliases straight inside each respective service?
I keep getting a Login Failed error in my ASP.net application when connecting to my SQL Server 2008 database. I am trying to login with the user domain\foo.
When I grant a database login (server and database level) for domain\foo, my application can connect.
When I put domain\foo in a group called domain/goo and give domain\goo a database login, the user domain\foo cannot authenticate.
This does not make any sense. Am I doing something wrong? domain\foo and domain\goo are configured identically. The only difference is that on is a user and one is a group containing a user. Adding active directory groups as users to SQL Server 2008 is supposed to work.
We have a strange problem with an interaction between our Hyper-V virtual host and the hosted virtual servers. Both virtual hosts and virtual servers are running Windows Server 2008.
When a virtual server is added to a MS NLB instance, the entire virtual host panics and shuts down. The MS NLB is configured in unicast mode, so each node shares a common MAC address. From what our sys admins can tell, the virtual hosts panic when the MAC address of the virtual network devices is changed by MS NLB.
I think a MAC address conflict within the virtual host is causing the problem - six virtual nodes in the NLB cluster are hosted on only two physical hosts. (I know this makes no sense. I didn't do it.)
Has anybody ever heard of this problem and how do you recommend solving it?
I am setting up an Active Directory Lightweight Directory Service (ADLDS) server to give a partner limited access to our directory without giving them access to the entire Active Directory. Setting up ADLDS looks pretty easy.
What I can't find is information on how to best replicate limited data out of Active Directory into an ADLDS data store. Can this be done with standard AD Replication, or must I use a more invasive technique, such as Microsoft Identity Integration Server?
I am looking to build a disaster recovery strategy for our MOSS farm. The stretched farm configuration looks appealing, but the MS documentation warns not to use it when there is more than 1ms latency between data centers.
Our WAN link has an average 6ms latency between our data centers. Has anybody ever built a stretched farm over a WAN link? Are Microsoft's warnings sincere or over protective?

Has anybody ever seen this error when working with the MOSS BDC?

How can I fix it?
I know the difference between a router and a switch, but there are a few fuzzy spots in my understanding.
When you uplink one switch into another, do they share mac address tables? Or is this a vendor specific function? If they don't share, how do they handle packets addressed to macs they don't directly control?
What is the largest IP address space that can be effectively handled using only a switched network, and at what point should you consider breaking the network into multiple segments joined by a router?
Which is more architecturally sound: one core router joining many subnets to the Internet or a hierarchy of routers (one per department uplinking to the core)? Or, is it best to give each department a router and then mesh them together into a mini-internet?
I'm trying to transfer large files (3+ gigs each) across the lan. My connection is 100 megabit to the box, with a gigabit backbone. However, when transfering files between servers and from a server to my local computer, transfer speed hovers around 11 to 13 megabits per second.
Large downloads from the Internet, however, go significantly faster.
I have brought up this problem with my network infrastructure folks, but they insist that everything is fine with the network configuration.
Are there any tools out there that I can install on my computer or the servers to try to isolate the source of the slowdown?
Google hasn't helped me. Is there a way to track only the number of hard faults (to the page file on disk) using PerfMon? The Page Faults/Sec counter mixes hard and soft faults.
