I run mdaemon mail server and IIS6. Recently the machine started acting real freaking slow and I noticed that mdaemon was taking up 25-50% cpu almost all the time. When browsing through my computer/explorer, it takes a number of seconds (about 5-10) to show all the folders as you drill down any directory tree. Also, when you right click on any folder/set of folders/set of files/individual file, it takes a good 5 seconds for the right click menu to show up.
The entire machine is just going butt slow for some reason and I'm at a total loss as to why. Here are a few bits of info regarding how the machine responds to things. If I reboot the machine, its totally fine for a short time... mail takes up the usual 1-5% cpu and all folder browsing is normal and speedy. When the machine does become slow as crap, if I turn off the mail server, the machine still runs super slow, nothing changes really. The folder browsing takes forever still and so does right clicking anything. I've done a full virus scan, and nothing. I'm not sure what else to do, but there are no processes running that are taking up a lot of cpu or ram that might be programs causing problems. Bandwidth is not being eaten up either, its on a T1 and on average does about 5-10GB of total IN/OUT bandwidth and that has not changed. I'm not stupid when it comes to computers, but I'm at a total loss as to what could be causing this.
Am using Windows 2003 server with IIS6.0 and SMTP.I tried to send mail using ASP.net C# code through SMTP service.But my mails are getting queued in C:InetpubmailrootQueue.
What could be the problem??I've done many trouble shooting steps but no luck.I changed the Relay settings.Since I am in a LAN connection, i've tested the relay setting using both the 'localhost'and 'MyDomainIP'but everything in vain.
I am running windows 2003, and I patched it with the timezone windows update, everything was fine, but when I looked today, the clock is one hour slow.
But when I run my php scripts, it shows the time being correct. I thought php grabbed the time from the system? Perhaps this is just a bug with the clock, and the internal system time is correct? It is the only thing I can think of.
Our company website runs on a Win 2003 server with ASP.
Now we also want to run some new PHP applications (e.g. MediaWiki). I think of running them in a (Linux) virtual machine on the Win 2003 server, to keep everything separated.
Does anybody else use VMware to split his dedicated server in several parts? It sounds like a good idea to me, but can not find much information about it. Or are there better alternatives?
For some reason, every time I setup the SSL cert on my Windows box, I receive a error 400 when I try to visit the site. When I take the SSL cert out then the site loads again. Anyone know what the problem is here?
We have a domain portal controller for windows. All the machines in the n/w are connected to it. So, when ever an user enters the user name and password it gets authenticated from the domain portal controller. So, my login can be accessed anywhere in the netowrk.
Example : my login is sabarishks which can be used in any machine under this domain controller.
But, if the system is installed with both linux and windows only windows username will be authenticated using the domain controller. Whereas, the linux users will work with in the system using /etc/shadow file. Hope, I am clear so far.
The requirement is same as above. The authentication mechanism for linux should work as windows. When ever an user is entered with a username and passwd, it should get authenticated from domain controller.
I mean, the user created in a windows machine should be used for linux login also. More importantly, It should work in all systems.
Which technology can be used to do this? Samba,Ldap, NFs or what?
With Windows 2003 server, there are comprehensive lists of what you need to do to secure the server before use. For Windows 2008, I wonder is there such a list? Or is it true as what I heard from Microsoft that it is already secured out of the box?
Anyone has any resources on the hardening or preparation of 2008 for server hosting uses?
I'm making a reasonably uninformed comparison here. Since Windows Vista is noted to be more resource intensive and slower than Win XP, are we right in assuming that Windows 2008 is slower than Windows 2003?
For instance, with two boxes with an identical hardware setup but the two different server OSes, will the same application like, say MySQL run slower on the Win 2008 machine?
on the server I have ASP access sites and ASP with SQL server sites.
When I load the sites they are fast, but then after a random period of time, I click a link but the page just sits there saying waiting for host, I can refresh but no difference, then all of a sudden the site will start working again and be fast until the next time.
Does anyone know why the site can be fast then sort of just hang for a while and if so, any suggestions on fixing this would be brilliant.
Can I configure windows 2003 to use multiple IPs?? Is it necessary to have a separate ethernet connection for each IP? Loopback, does it help? What about Linux?
I am trying to find a firewall for windows 2003 64 bit edition. So far I have tried Visnetic, which doesn't work, and comodo will not even have a beta version out until May. Anyone know of another that will work on 64 bit windows?
I am running a server with Windows Enterprise 2003 installed, it has 32GB RAM installed but in control panel I can only see 15.5GB RAM, I understand graphics cards etc will take some of the RAM so I suspect Windows is only seeing 16GB, instead of the installed 32GB, anyone any idea as to why I do not see all 32GB.
i wanted to buy a dedicated server and when i had questions about 2003 web, i talked to hivelocity live support and i think it was dave who told me that Windows 2003 web has a restriction for mysql which was 512 KB. I myself is planning to own a gameserver that uses java and mysql and i know for sure uses much much more space than 512 KB. Is this true that 2003 restricts the size of your DB and when your DB reaches 512 kb, it can no longer be used? Also, is the windows 2008 web licensing fee the same as windows 2003 web?
My client have a windows 2003 Sever, we install xampp there to run his site because he gave us hosting information late on and we done all his work in mysql php,
so every thing is working but the main problem is this that queries are not going through email.
I'm sure there is an easy answer to this, and i'm probably being a little lazy, but the google searches i did didn't really help.
As I need to have windows hosting, apart from the price, is there any difference between setting up the server with windows 2003 standard edition and web edition?
I want to run MS SQL and My sql databases, run asp, .Net 2 and php on the server.
I'd also want to connect with RDP which i'm assuming is fine.
Most of the searches seem to talk about the fact that you can't set up active directory,or making it a domain controller but not much else.
This is my first dedicated and I am plugging away at it.I am running windows server 2003 web edition and I have my database, website, and ftp setup and everything is working so far. Now if you go to 66.96.196.102 my site that I'm working on will show up. My question is my domain and site that I am in the process of moving is hosted on a shared server on 1and1. Now I need that domain to point to that ip. Do I need to set up name servers on the server? If so can someone point me in th right direction.
We have two Windows Server 2003 machines as active directory controllers and DNS servers for our in-house operations. For our purposes, let's say the domain name is example.com.
Both servers have DNS, and example.com is stored in Active Directory to allow us to use the benefits this provides. Our issue is probably simple, but I'm not sure how to fix it.
Let's call server one EX1, and server two EX2. These have local IPs of 192.168.1.111 and 192.168.1.112, respectively.
We want example.com to be resolved to an external IP address (for web hosting), let's say 1.2.3.4. The problem is, the two domain controllers keep registering example.com with their internal IP addresses .111 and .112, so the DNS round-robins between 1.2.3.4 and the two internal servers, which aren't web servers.
Is there a way we can get those DNS controllers to stop registering their internal IPs as example.com?
I noticed very strange file permission behaviour, which not always intherid child permission from parent. Detailed problem description is below.
I have "c:File" directory with IUSR permission.
If I run one .NET application(exe) from Administrator account and try to create new file with that application in c:File directory, the newly created file with that application do not has IUSR permission.
If I run notepad and save txt file into that directory, it has IUSR permission.
Can anyone explain what is going on? Why file created with first .NET aplication do not inherit permission from folder?
