Comcast SBS 2011 Router - Hooking Into Domain Instead Of Workgroup
Feb 11, 2013
I am new to dealing with domain setups and Windows Server. Here is my setup:
Comcast business cable modem
Gigabit Switch
IBM x3100 M4 w/Xeon E3 1230, 16GB ECC DDR3 RAM Running SBS 2011 Standard
Custom PC with Win7 Pro, i7 3770, 12GB DDR3 RAM
What I would like to do is setup sbs 2011 as the domain controller and have the custom pc on that domain.Comcast business cable modem/router is set for defaults, handing out dhcp.
Both Server and custom pc are hooked into the switch which is hooked into the comcast router.SBS 2011 I believe I set it up with the default settings. Updated it so all the patches are on it. It sees the comcast router and connects to the internet no problem.
Custom PC is sees the comcast router no problem and gets its ip address from there like normal.When trying to join the domain on the sbs computer the custom computer cannot find it even though I can ping the server.
I cannot join domain it saying that "Computer name changes", A domain controller for the domain MyDomain could not be contacted.”. We have domain and workgroup, Actually first its already joined the domain, but I want to map the sharedrive inside the workgroup but I cannot map. Then I change to join workgroup. After I boot up I cannot log in with that user, I log in with administrator and the user is dissappear in the "User Account", but the profile inside document and setting still left surprise. I don't know why Now I create one more user, it can map to share drive also share folder. also can see all other network computer. But only left one is I cannot join the domain. I need this one because of we don't let our user using as administrator account. Before I testing this one I should backup, but now the time
I have put my pc in work group from domain then it has restart then 1 user has displayed name is what is my pc name,but when i click on it, it become log off again, after so many try i haven't login. there is no any option for switch user.there is only option for shutdown,sleep & restart.
We have a computer running Windows 2000 Pro that used to connect to a domain at work. Upon bootup, it asks for the user/password.Yesterday we tried to connect it to a little home network by changing the domain to a workgroup with a different name (network name that i used at home) as well. Now when it boots up, asks for a user/password, but now it does not recognize my user name and password.I can log in as an administrator to the Workgroup with the new name. but i cannot access the old Domain with its user and passwords. I tried to change back to the old name and to domain, but when doing that i get and error messsage which says: The following error occurred validating the name "xxxxxxx" (network name that I use at home) this condition may be caused by a DNS lookup problem. so I'm not sure if a should run the clear DNS cache. and if in doing that I'll be able to restored it back to the stage that i was before I made the changes.
To start off, I work for a small business where we do not have an IT department
One of our users changed his domain to a workgroup (made us rethink who has admin access on all our PC's) thinking that it would somehow fix the problem he was having with not being able to print anything to a network printer. Well, this promptly called for a restart and upon restarting would not allow him to log back into the user account.
This all makes sense to me as to why it will not let him log-in using credentials that he is no longer a part of due to security restrictions. But my question is how do i recover the account? In other words, how do I go about rejoining that user account to the domain that everyone is located on.
If all new user accounts are defaulted to join the domain, how come its not just as easy to move a user from a workgroup back to that domain?
Also, the machine is running Windows XP. It's critical that I get the old user account set back up because it was used for Outlook e-mail as well as several important documents/spreadsheets. I know that none of these files are lost as I can still navigate to them through the Local Disk. But really I would like to get the old user account working instead of having to copy/paste all the old content to a new user account in order to hopefully retain all old settings and configurations. tl;dr A user on our domain moved his user account to a workgroup and now is unable to login or access his user account. How do I move the user account back to the domain?
I have a former corporate PC that logged into a domain server. Under <Control Panel><System> I changed from Domain to Workgroup. I now can't log on to any account including the administrator.I don't have the recovery disk. MS suggests a parallel installation of XP to provide access to the files on the disk. I can do that with any Linux CD. I don't have any data I want to recover. That was all stripped off before I got the PC. I do want to keep all the applications. If I reinstall XP, I will loose all the applications. I now know I can only logon to the administrator account if the PC is connected to the domain server. If I can restore the domain name, I can log on to the PC again.Where is the domain / group info kept and in what format?Is there a way of using a Linux CD to manually edit the XP files to restore / add a domain??
I have an domain server to which some of my machines are connected to it. and some machines are in workgroup.Now when I am trying to connect one of the machine which is in domain from workgroup I got an following error message
i have been trying share a folder across the network but with a lot of difficulty.the folder is on a server 2008R2 on one domain while the work stations are on a work group. how do i get the work station to access the shared folder without any password issues.
I recently Installed AVG 2011 and AVG PC tune-up 2011. When i just start my computer the internet is working fine, but after a open my game Flyff, The internet is still connected but cannot use it.
I removed my computer from a domain to a workgroup,I then rebooted the pc and now it si asking me for a username and password.I can not access important information on the local drive.
I have a home computer which part of the home's workgroup and I have a office laptop which is part of a domain. Both of these are connected to the home wireless router and I can ping from one to the other via IP only and not by hostname. I have to access DB which is on my home computer (workgroup) from office laptop(domain). How do I achieve this? I search the internet and found we can enable sharing by IP. But my usecase will require access to the workgroup computer using hostname from laptop.
I am using a (Windows 7 OS) machine from work (that has a domain name set) at home and want to connect it to my home's workgroup so that I can access files on two other computers currently in the workgroup: one running windows 7 the other xp.
i hooked up a netgear repeater to my belkin n450db router and it shows a good connection betw router and extender and between extender and device (laptop and tv) however only a lan connection - no internet.
I have had a heck of a time getting this server up and running and it looks like I finally have it, except for one thing. Everything works except for the vpn. I do not have the vpn portion on the router configured since the SBS server will be acting as the vpn host, but maybe I need to configure the vpn elements on this router for it to allow vpn connections in?The other thing that is "off" as the title of this post indicates is that the server is not showing up on the router's attached devices under the correct name. It's showing as some generic WIN-****** nameI am doing this project for a non-profit without compensation and the networking part of it has been a nightmare. So any solution that doesn't entail me reconfiguring the server. Everything else appears to be functioning properly, dhcp, dns, ingoing, outgoing mail and the web interface.
If I hook up 2 desktop towers together will it give me more hd and ram space? I want to know this because my boyfriend says we can do this to add more space to the existing tower. I have an older computer that I am running World of Warcraft on and I don't think I can add the 2 expansions I need to it because of the hd and ram space it takes up. I have 15.1 gb of hd space left and a total of 1 gb of ram which it is using to run the 2 I have
I have CAT5 cables run throughout my house to a few different jacks. They plug into my modem downstairs. I want to hook up my desktop internet through one of the wall jacks upstairs. The wall jack has CAT5 cable run to it but only accepts telephone wire sized jacks. How do I connect to the internet with this setup?
AV for SBS 2011 that also works with Exchange 2010? I found Trend Micro Worry-Free Business Security Advanced 7, but unfortunately it doesn't seem to have a free trial.
I have very basic knowledge with computers and anitviruses etc....However, everything was working fine with regards to my wireless connections. But ever since I have installed the AVG 2011, my computer does not recognise my wireless router. I know the router is fine as I am able to connect through my Iphone and other Laptops.I have tried switching off the firewall, but that has not worked.
We have a wireless access point for our office, encrypted. Is it possible to hook up another wireless access point that would access the internet, but not our local network for public use?
By default SBS 2011 places a shortcut on the desktop to companyweb and adds shortcut in the start menu under Windows SBS to companyweb as well.
I found the instructions to edit out the xlm file for SBS 2008 to prevent this from happening but that does not work with SBS 2011 as I do not see those settings.
I did also find the login script for SBS 2008 settings to remove those after the fact all of the time and that is easy enough to change to make it work with SBS 2011; but I would much rather just prevent the shortcuts from being placed in the first place.
I thought i would try to hoom up my laptop to my home computer connection. i plug in the ethernet cable, but when i try to connect to broadband, it asks for a username and password. what username and password?
Cable modem>Router>4 computers + 1 wireless printer.. But i needed more ports so i bought a trendnet gigabit switch with 8 ports.
Then I Plugged port 4 on router to >switch port 1
When all the computers are turned on and using everything at once i cant access websites but my skype works so i figure its probably a dns issue and my dlink is overloaded? I didnt try to access any sites with the ip only fail on my part.
Once this happened i immediately unplugged everything and restarted the router. I only have my own computer hooked up the router and did a firmware upgrade to 2.10na and my internet works immediately after but when i hook up another comptuer to the network i cant access any pages but my skype works..
I'm considering upgrading my home server to 2012 Essentials from WHS 2011. WHS 2011 has always been strangely finicky and I have a new Win8 laptop, so i would like to take advantage of the new options in Essentials.that said, I was looking to access my data on the WHS 2011 system to back IT up, and all I see are a bunch of 4,194,304kb .dat files. I've been lucky in that I have never had to recover data from the server, so this has been an interesting issue. how does one access the backed up files on a WHS2011 computer, short of doing some kind of restore?
1. Apple extreme router. Newest model. Full updates. 2. HP media smart server 495 running WHS 2011. Upgraded memory. Very stable and full updates. 3. Typical Win7 gaming machine from last year. It was about $1200 at the time, no issues. 4. Cat5e cabling. 5. A gigabit switch, but both the win7 and server are connected to the router.
I'm only asking about WIRED issues. When I'm copying files from my computer to server using teracopy I'm only getting about 10-11 Mb. Consistently.
I had made a thread earlier about getting a new synology server but could I have a more fundamental issue? Reason I'm asking, I copied a file from my wireless laptop to my server and it was almost 1/2 the time for the same file from win7 to server. I'd love to get the synology but kinda hard to justify $1000+ when things seem to be stable.
I have a wrt350n at home and it works fine but it has only one little issue. When I connect my lap wireless I cant see the other work group pcs but if I wire the laptop there is no problem. I use ip to share files and not net bios but sometimes it would be great to find all the pcs on the work group easily and not memorize all the ips.
Disabled firewalls, updated firmware, tried to change network ip... nothing solved. Have no problems at work with an WRT54G.
I just bought a used Acer Aspire One 10.1 netbook and I am having some issues. When I got it the pc needed 17 windows updates done. So I did that but I am not sure all the updates worked properly as the machine shut down but never rebooted after finishing updates. After I turned it back on I tried to connect to the internet through my wireless router (which is working fine for other devices), nothing. So I tried a wired connection, nothing again. The wireless is finding my router it is just not hooking up to the internet. I tried ipconfig/all in the cmd prompt and all it shows is that the media is disconnected??? Does anyone have any ideas as to what is going on? The compute seems to be functioning fine except for the internet.
