Security / Firewalls :: Windows Server 2003 Domain / Hardware Firewall?
Mar 29, 2011
At my small business (30 employees) we currently don't have a hardware firewall. Should I have one? If so what do you recommend? We are all connected to a Windows Server 2003 domain in one office building.
When attempting to log in to a computer (running Windows 7 Professional) here at the office using the network administrator account, I get the error message: "The trust relationship between this workstation and the primary domain failed." I wasn't here when this laptop was set up, and so I don't know if any local user accounts were made or what their passwords would be if they were there, so I can't think of any way to log in to the machine and disconnect/reconnect to the domain which is really my only idea on how to fix it. Finding out what would cause this to suddenly start happening would also be nice, but mostly I just need to figure out how to get reconnected so I can get this back up and running.
i am using windows vista on my laptop.i was using zone alarm firewall, but switched it to windows firewall.after switching, my internet was cutoff. i can see that i am connected to my network, but cant get to internet.when i run diagnosis on my laptop, it gives me three options:
my Ethernet driver is having hardware issue.
my wireless driver is having hardware issue.
ip protocol binding is having issue. check ipv4 and ipv6 settings.
I have disabled windows firewall in Windows 2003 server control panel but only few ports are shown opened when i scanned with advanced port scanner why other ports are closed.How to open the closed ports?
Recently i had suffering with wireless connection problem, currently my wireless router connected to WAN directly, after that go into firewall and then go thru switch to end user PC, for LAN user there is no issue, but for wireless connected PC it is prompted with limited connectivity problem(DHCP is disable on router), after check with ipconfig /all. it seem likely due to wireless PC cannot get the IP from DHCP server. i am using DLink615 router. i had checked firewall setting there is firewall policy that connected all router ip into company LAN, but i don't think there is DHCP VPN setting up. is there anyway i can go thru firewall and get IP from DHCP server because if i set up DHCP on router, it cannot pass thru and access to LAN.
I have a desktop without a wireless card and i want my network to be wireless so i bought a d-link wireless card for the desktop, the system then discover the wireless network but could not connect it kept on trying to authenticate, it did not even ask me for the web security key, what do I do
I planned for my customer to replace his old LMS 4.0.1 server under Windows 2003 by a new server under Windows 2008 R2.Customer wants also to set a new LMS name and IP address for the new server under Windows 2008 R2 and keep both servers on the network.I'm wondering what could be the best procedure to do that migration.Can I used backup / restore procedure in that case ?If yes, what file must I modify to adapt the new LMS configuration to new hostname and IP Address ?
After getting New Workstations, I wanted to connect that to the SERVER but Windows 7 could not log into domain of our server with Windows Server 2003. Besides following the proper process/steps. I am able to use the printer and internet shared through SERVER though.
I have an Active Directory with Windows 2003 Server and all clients with windows xp and I set default group policy for all clients now I install windows 7 ultimate on one computer and want to join it to domain I have tried to join it and it was. But the policies which I set for windows xp machines on Domain are takes place by windows 7 eg. The basic theme of windows 7 was replaced with classic theme of XP. how can I set separate policies on domain for windows 7 client?
I have a windows 2003 server. It had been working and then a couple of days ago the computers on the network could no longer find the server. I cannot ping the server anymore. I have replaced and tested all cords and routers between the computers and the server
In my organization we are having 12, LMS 3.2 servers deployed across the globe. As per Audit policy we need to deploy Microsoft win2003 server security patches on all servers using WSUS. Every month our server team sends us query before applying the patches regarding it's compatibility with LMS.
A windows server (W2000) acting as remote access server (The LAN we are trying to reach is behind this equipment). In other site we have a 881 ISR.I need to configure a VPN between the Server and the CISCO. The goal is to access from the PC behind the CISCO to the corporative LAN where the access server sits on without install the CISCO client in every client PC.
Windows 7 I could not able to browse internet, because it showing DNS problem. But I can able to ping my gateway and I can able to get internet in Windows Xp. I am using firewall in my campus. There is any problem in my firewall?
i've been using a VPN to connect to my home network from elsewhere for a few months. It's set up as follows:
PPTP Maximum Strength Encryption EAP-MSCHAP-v2 Authentication
Now I find out that MSCHAPv2 authentication has been broken and is no longer considered secure (even by Microsoft), so I want to change the protocol I'm using to make it secure.
However, I've spent 3 hours now researching this and I cannot for the life of me figure out how to use a better protocol on my Windows Server 2012 home server. I've tried setting up PEAP authentication (still PPTP) a la Microsoft's recommendation document, but it requires a certificate. I've created a self-signed certificate but it seems I can't issue certificates (via this method) without being a member of a domain, so I'm stuck. I can't even get started with L2TP since I can't find the option for it.
My question is this: Is there a way to setup a secure VPN server using Windows Server 2012 without a domain? If so, how do I do this?
i have recently added to a domain. The initial setup is a server running windows 2003 and several xp machines which logon to the domain using mandatory profiles. However, after adding windows 7 machines and logging them on to the system it doesnt load the profiles. (which is fine as I understand you cannot use the same profiles with windows 7+xp)The problem is it automatically creates a roaming profile when logging off and saves it back to the same path as the other profiles under user.V2 which is growing considerably and causing huge logoff and logon times.How can I get the windows 7 machines to not attempt roaming profiles back to the server and instead to just save the profiles locally when logging off.
I've got a windows server 2003 running a big application (sage1000) but suddenly it seems that users cannot access the server by unc path.i've also test to access \server on the server itself doesen't work.
When I try and copy files from my Windows 7 Home PC to my Windows Server 2003 share, it copies so much then hangs the Server sharing. It then appears that the share has disappeared. If I copy from the Server 2003 to 7, it copies fine, and copying from XP to 2003 also works fine. I had a chat with a colleague who told me that he has the same problem copying from Vista to XP.
I have a windows server 2003 ent., with about 6pcs and a couple of macs. I don't want the server to connect to the internet, though every computer only has one network card. I want all the clients to access the internet but not the server. How do I set this up.
So I just installed Windows Server 2003 64 bit on an older HP Proliant DL360 G5 and am trying to connect it to my network but neither of the 2 NIC's are showing up under Network Connections... the only option I am given is the ''Add Network Places Wizard''.
I have an ethernet cable plugged into NIC 1 and the LED's work so I know it's not a bad NIC card- do I have to download drivers for the NIC? Do I download them to a USB/CD and then just boot from that?
If I have two servers, one running Windows Server 2003, and one running Ubuntu 10, what would be the best way to 'map' one's drive to another? Either way is fine. They are each in a different state, and each have an external IP. I just need to do some processing on the Ubuntu server, then write the file either to its own drive, and have the web server (Windows) read it, or, have it write to the Windows HDD, and have Windows read it.
We have a 1941 router configured with LAN/WAN access. Additionally, we need to allow outside Microsoft RRAS connections to an inside Windows 2003 R2 Server. What commands are required to enable this?
WAN IP: 211.XXX.XXX.XXX Server IP: 10.XXX.XXX.XXX
We've configured the 1941 router to allow outside RDC/RDP to the server at 10.XXX.XXX.XXX
