Recently we have been having users come to us saying that they are unable to type anything in any of our terminal servers. The first scenario is that the user cannot type anything and when I view their screen using Terminal Services Manager they are able to type again. The second scenario is that the user cannot type anything and then they have to minimize the terminal client and click the desktop. Once they click the desktop or type anything on their local computer everything is fine.
We are using the latest RDP client in XP from Microsoft. Our servers that we have had the issue on are: Server 2003 R2 Enterprise x64 SP2 and Server 2003 Enterprise SP2.
Does anybody know of a datacenter somewhere in Massachusetts that would allow me to colo a tower server along with a sonicwall SSLVPN and firewall? I need maybe 1,000 - 2,000GB/month transfer on a 10mbit port. Ideally under $100/month.
I'm looking at allowing remote telnet into my server.
like any security-minded administrator, I want to log what my users type on the telnet session.
I'm using the script command to generate transcripts of the users session.
I have /etc/profile set to automatically start the script command to log user activity, and in /etc/bash.bash_logout I have a command that emails me the transcript of the users' session.
All of the above works well except for one thing:
the users can type "exit" to escape from my script logging and any commands they type won't get logged.
I'd setup a Foundry 2402CF at home with a terminal port connection. When I got it to the data center I could not connect to the terminal port using the same connection settings I used at home.
Thought it might be the cable, so tested it with an FWS2, which worked fine.
Could the port have gone bad on the trip to the DC, or is there some security setting I'm missing?
How do I lock down my Windows 2003 server so NO ONE can terminal service in UNLESS they are connected through the PRIVATE network? The server is hosted with Softlayer which allows a private network.
Basically, I want to connect to the SL private network and then terminal service in to get in.
When I connect to the private network, my primary IP/network is STILL my ISP's network. If I goto ipchicken.com, I see my ISP's ip. However, if I do an ipconfig listing, I see the SL private network ip listed as well (it's just not primary). Hopefully, that won't restrict me from terminal servcing in when I lock down the server.
I am unable to set the background for the users on a terminal server.
The server is running Windows server 2003 R2 64 bit Enterprise edition.
I have setup the background path correctly in the group policy for the ou where the users are located. However the background does not load. I have also enabled Active Desktop in the terminal services configuration manager.
Also when I try to set the background manually as the administrator, everything is grey and I am unable to set the background. I have tried to start the Themes service but this does not resvolve the problem. Do anybody here have a suggestion on why I am unable to set the background even on the administrator user manually? (the administrator user does not have any group policies activated).
1) If I'm logged into my {other VPS} with Putty, then ssh root@67.xx.xx.xxx successfully logs me into {new VPS}, after the password prompt, so I know the root password can login (some of the time)
2) ...but not my Windows computer, both Putty, and SFTP fail. The SFTP error message is : "ERROR:> [7/31/2009 9:48:08 AM] Can't connect to 67.xx.xx.xxx:22. SFTP21 error = #0." Port 22 is correct, according to hosting support.
3a) Hosting support said... "Based on the information you have provided to us, I am assuming that either your firewall or ISP is blocking the standard 22 SSH port. If you would like, we can change this to a custom port number."
3b) That response doesn't help, since I'm using port 22 for the {other VPS}

I have Plesk 11.5 (service provider mode) on a Windows 2008 server IIS7.Most of my sites are developed in .asp and therefore i use a custom 500-100.asp error page that check s the IP of the visitor then displays either a friendly error, or if its my IP a full error of what has happened (it also emails me the error). This allows me to debug pages easily whilst developing and to keep an eye on anyone trying SQL Injection hacks on my sites (as the error and email also have session variables and IP address).I dont have root access to the server as it is a Webfusion dedicated server.I have following the Plesk documentation -
1) Switch on custom errors for the subscription 2) Look in virtual directories and navigate to error documents 3) Find the error in question (500:100) and change it to point at either a file or URL
FILE - I had the data centre add in the 500-100.asp error page in to the virtual template so that my page is available in the list of virtual files - this didn't work but that maybe because its not a static page??
URL - when i add the path it says its incorrect, if i add a fully qualified address, it accepts it but it doesn't work.give me a specific example of the URL that can be entered relative to the root as the format in the documentation isn't accepted. The last step is to restart IIS which is also an issue as i cant seem to do this from the Plesk panel..It is as if it isn't catching the 500:100 error, and only catching the general 500 error??
I am currently running Google Analytics/Urchin 5 (v5.7.02), on a server, the server has started to act up, (on its last legs etc) and now I am trying to transfer the Urchin Software to a new server, where it would work effectively.
However upon installing the urchin software on the new server and running it (localhost:9999), I am presented with An Action Items Page, and these following choices
This is the scenario, domain.com are setup on server1, however server2 also has the same profile of domain.com as we use ns3 and ns4 using domain.com. This works fine with the nameserver setup on server2.
However I encounter problems as the emails from server2 won't reach server1 as there are duplicate profile on server2.
My question is how do I setup the DNS in cpanel/whm from server2 so the emails from server2 will reach server1?
I just want to use a server for file sharing, it will have nginx and that's it. I'm looking at centos, or freebsd, but I been using centos forever now and I'm not sure how to use freebsd, should I just stay with centos?
Do I tell my hosting provider to just install the OS and give me ssh action and that's it? Don't install any control panels or any other stuff? I want one domain and one subdomain on it though and ftp action.
I'm wondering whether it is possible to perform a full server migration to a new Plesk server with the same hostname or will Plesk give an error about the hostname being the same?
The new server would not be accessible by hostname (only via IP) until DNS and glue records were changed after the migration.
I've been developing a small 2D MMORPG lately. I bought a VPS to run the server on a few days ago and sadly it doesn't work so well. Sometimes the loads go pretty high (afaik not caused by me) and MySQL freezes, causing the server to just wait for MySQL to unlock, hanging all the players around on the map. Not a good thing.
Anyway, the game is very small scale, and I'm not planning to have more than maybe 30-50 players online. It does not suck up much CPU, I had ~10 guys online and loads stayed down at 0.00 on the VPS box.
Problem with getting a dedicated is our very low budget. As I'm still underage and living at home hammering my pc and don't have any real incomes, we're talking numbers like $ 30 - $ 50 USD per month - it's really hard to find for that price in Europe.
Requirements: Monthly payment, $ 30 - $ 50 / month, no setup (or very small setup, like $ 20) 10Mbit/s or faster connection, 100GB traffic should do 500MHz CPU is all cool 512MB or more RAM 5GB diskspace is enough Has to be in Europe due to ping times (< 100ms) Linux, Debian 4.0 prefered
If anyone knows where I could get something like this for a low price, $ 30 to $ 50 USD, it'd be great.
I have been searching everywhere trying to find a tutorial but It is not going anywhere. Basically I need to create 2 nameservers for Godaddy and pretty much so when i type http://mysite.com it goes to my site. I can access everything from http://myip and everything works. Now is there a step by step on how to actually do it in the DNS Manager? I need help like what IP address do I use is it the router ip? The external IP?
