Microsoft: How to Migrate Printers from Windows 2003 to Windows 2008

November 2nd, 2009 1 comment

There are a lot of way’s to migrate printer from one server to another.

Within Windows 2008/vista/7 gives microsoft a standard tool for this option.

When you want to use this option you need to install the print server role.

After you done this you will be able to import and export printer’s.

An example:

Go to start -> administrative tools -> printer management.

Add the 2 servers (in my example vdc2 and vps1, vdc2 is a windows 2003 server and vps1 is a windows 2008 server)
Right click on “Print server” and choose “Add/Remove Servers”

Powerfuse: Directly open a file from the start menu

October 22nd, 2009 No comments

When using citrix streamed applications and res powerfuse you can walk into the following problem.

If you want to open a (for example) mdb file direcly from the start menu you can’t just open the mdb file because the file extension is connected to windows explorer.

You can open the by opening the streamed app and add a extra command into the link: /extracmdline:”location”

An example:

c:\program files\Citrix\Streaming Client\RadeRun.exe -D /app:”Microsoft Office Access 2003″ /package:”\\fs1\apps\Microsoft Office 2003\Microsoft Office 2003.profile” /extracmdline:”C:\files\example.mdb”

Windows 2008: Windows update doesn’t work behind a proxy

August 25th, 2009 No comments

I just installed a Windows 2008 behind a proxyserver  and i saw that it couldn’t update.

To solve this issue you can do the following:

  • Run the Command Promp as Administrator
  • Type netsh
  • Type winhttp
  • Type import proxy source=ie

Now Windows Update will ask you for a username and password before it wants to check for an update.

Windows 2008: SystemState backup to the source volume

August 7th, 2009 No comments

Mostly you have on a terminal (citrix) server just 1 volume. With Windows 2008 it’s default not possible to create a SSB to the source volume.

You can change this do doing the following:

Create a new registry entry with the following information:

Key: HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\wbengine\SystemStateBackup\AllowSSBToAnyVolume
Type: DWORD
Value: 1

A value of 0 prevents the storing of system state backup on a source volume. A value of 1 allows the storing of system state backup on a source volume.

However, there are known issues with storing a system state backup on a source volume:

  • Backups can fail. The backup can be modified during the backup process, which might cause the backup to fail.
  • It causes an inefficient use of target space. Twice the amount of space is necessary for a backup than for the original data. The volume must allocate twice the amount of space for the shadow copy process.

Exchange 2007: 530 5.7.1 Client was not authenticated

July 31st, 2009 No comments

When you install Exchange 2007 it’s standard configured that it doesn’t allow extern mail.

Mostly you get the error “530 5.7.1 Client was not authenticated”

You can resolve this by giving the AnonymousUsers group receive rights.

You can do this via the exchange 2007 shell.

First get the receive connector name:

Get-ReceiveConnector

 

Then use the following command:

Set-ReceiveConnector -Identity “MAILSERVER\Default mailserver” -PermissionGroups “AnonymousUsers”

Today with an migration from windows 2003 with exchange 2003 to Windows 2008 with exchange 2007 and McAfee Groupshield 7.0 we had the problem that the sync slow was.

We have tried alot but when we stopped GroupShield everything was fast again.

After installing ps 4.5 Roll up hotfix 3 Ima doesn’t start anymore

January 28th, 2009 No comments

Today I installed PS 4.5 Roll up hotfix 3 and when i restarted the server IMA came with the following error:

The Citrix Independent Management Architecture service terminated with service-specific error 2147483670 (0×80000016).

This happens because the IMA services couldn’t contact the license server and couldn’t contact the IMA database.

With the following command the problem could be solved:

start -> run -> cmd -> c:\ dsmaint config /user:domain\user /pwd:12345 /dsn:”C:\Program Files\Citrix\Independent Management Architecture\MF20.dsn”
