Sharing :: Limit Of Connected Users In Server 2008?
Sep 28, 2011
I've got an HP Microserver, running server 2008 R2 foundation, and I'm using it for file sharing. All files are in a single folder with subfolders, and located in drive C.
The problem is that the server limits the number of LAN connections to it to 31. I've already changed the max. number of connections to the maximum, but doesn't seem to work. Network discovery and file sharing are on, firewall is off, full access rights for everyone.
The error I get when trying to access the shared folder is: 'Microsoft Windows Network: No more connections can be made to this remote computer at this time because there are already as many connections as the computer can accept'
The server is running Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2.The four other systems connecting to the server are running Microsoft Windows XP.Is it possible to have all four users connected at the same time remotely using a remote desktop client to the server? I'm using Teamviewer right now, but not sure if it will work with that.
we have TACACS+ based AAA on our network equipment, authenticating against internal user database on a network of ACS 5.3s.What I want is to limit certain AAA users (namely automated tools) to be only permitted to authenticate from a list of known IPs.I can do this for authorization, easily, that isn't a problem. The problem is to only accept authentication attempts coming from certain IPs and ignore the rest. My problem is, as it is currently, the automated tools are prone to a sort of a DoS attack - if I attempt logging in to any device using the tool's user account and a wrong password, I can get the account disabled in five tries.
I want to ignore all authentication attempts, unless they are coming from well known source IPs.Ex: netmon user is the user for a tool running on server 10.20.30.40. If I try to log in from my own laptop with user netmon, it should fail, and the attempt ignored. Currently after five (or whatever is configured) failed attempts, the user will be disabled. Oly attempts from 10.20.30.40 should be considered for user netmon.I can't use ACLs on the devices, as I want other users to be able to log in from other IPs.
Is it possible to limit what users are able to do and view in the webconsole of a WLC 5508 via ACS. I have ACS setup to restrict what commands can be run depending on user on the CLI however when they log into the webconsole they can access everything?
Is it possible to configure WLC so that only one user can connect to wireless network at a time with one login? We have WLC5508 (7.2.103.0) web authentication with LDAP (Active Directory).
I am able to obtain IP addresses through the DHCP server for my clients and I am able to browse internet on the server 2k8.Server 2008 - Share Internet through DHCP server
I have install the administration toolpack on Windows 7 and enabled remote connections on my server 2008 box, When i try and connect with my Windows 7 server manager it does not work.I see stuff on google about enabling a trustedhost with winrm but can't find a way to do this.
I used the following commands to limit users on my wireless network (WLC 5500) and a Nexus 7000. The previous cisco doc only covers the 6500 and some commands have changed. Tested and working except the PIR gives an error, post up if you know why, otherwise enjoy!
Note Wireless Network assumed to be 172.21.0.0/16.Note This will limit each wireless user to 1 MbpsNote The PIR (Peak Infomation rate, also know as burst) is ignored in following commands, unknown at this time why.Create ACLs:

I've been reading that the Windows Server Backup that is included with Server 08 R2 is pretty good. Is spending $400 on a third party utility worth it?
I'm asking because we're purchasing a new server soon and I want to know if the included backup is going to be good enough. Will be backing up server state as well as data to tape and possibly an off site server (server 2003) if I get my way.
I would like to know how i can boot other users off of the wifi network temporarily. How can i do this? Ive tried adding their mac address to the router admin, not sure if ive done it correct though, its a dlink login.Failing that is there any programs that can do this?? Ive come across one called wifijam but its only available for mac.
My team are using shared folders on dropbox, but we are having issues where some of the shared files will not appear for some users.I've created a shared folder, and all users have accepted invitations to the folder, but it will not appear in one user's dropbox (neither desktop or in web browser), but it does appear in other user's dropbox.I'm having this issue with several shared folders.The dropbox folder is being shared between 1 pc and 2 macs.I've tried re-inviting & clearing the dropbox cache to no success.
How can i share application so that other users can directly use application in network without installing in his/her system. I have ubuntu server 12.0.1 installed and users are using windows 7. I will install any other os as server if necessary.
how we can prevent learners from creating files or folders on Drive C without restricting the users from running programs installed on the C drive. We dont want learners sending tests or answers of tasks to one another by copying it in drive C. We are running Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition.I know you got a plan for us
I have three computers in a Workgroup and I can transfer files through all the computers properly. However I cant set up permissions to who can access these files. The three computers are Windows 7 64bit desktop, Windows 7 64bit laptop, Windows XP Professional 32bit desktop.
What I tried so far... Right-click on folder I wanted to share Click on Sharing Tab Click on Advanced Sharing>Permissions>Add...>Locations
I only see the name of the local computer, I don't see the two other computers on the network. The window looks similar to this, how I can find the other computers in my network, in the locations window.
Right now every computer is connected through a workgroup and some computers are sharing files to everyone and some need a login to share other files. I want to run a main server where all the files are on that computer and have it share all the files to everyone else on the network. I'm not too familiar with Windows workgroup networking and file sharing.I want to have certain files accessible to certain computers and certain files accessible to everyone on the network. I'm under the impression that I have to have the main server with all the business documents. Then create separate accounts on the server and hand them out to each individual computer. After, go to each document and specify who can access what with read/write. Can I share some files to everyone and have certain files limited to other computers at the same time? How would someone access the shared files when you need a login and will this login conflict with files shared to everyone and files shared to certain people. I remember on my small business network I need a login for certain computers because it is shared to only certain people then how would I access the files shared to everyone when I have to login to see the server files to begin with?
I thought that there are more security issues than LAN issues, I have a network with 11 computers of which 1 is SME server and 10 are clients (mainly 256MB DDR1 tech machines withceleron D processors, onboard VGA and sound; there are few 1024MB DDR2, AMD Sempron LE processors). All clients have XPSP3, .NET framework 1.1+2.0, Office 2003, AvastFree 7.0, Mozilla Firefox 7.0 and several utilities not very important. Every client has 2 users (Admin and User) on Local Machine and 1 on DOMAIN (UserDomain). Both User accounts are limited. First, all computers were in same workgroup and not part of DOMAIN. In that time, printers on clients were shared among themselves and worked flawlessly. After joining the clients to the DOMAIN, the work continued without issues. One day, I have changed the name of the SME SERVER computer and the issues have started. Several clients can not connect to those shared printers, even others are using them well. When I want to add shared printer I can not browse the particular computer on which the shared printer is (through ADD PRINTER wizard). I manage to do it writing the full path of the particular computer and there I can choose the printer.
After selecting it, username and password is required to finish the adding. Of course I use the Admin username ad password, and after typing it error message pop up (printer is unavailable or can not connect to it). After this I close all windows, start the adding procedure again, and then I can add the printer normally. The problem continues, because, on those computers on which I have had this complicated way of install, after several days shared printers refuse to print saying Access denied. Then I have to delete the printer again, install it twice and hope to work after that for a weak at least.
The problem is getting bigger, as on one client computer I can not print from browsers (Firefox 7, IE 8) but from Office there is no problem. Of course I have checked other topics about this and use setups-modifications-advices but they did not solve printing problems. I have even reinstalled that computer, but the problem remains.
I am running a small network of 30 pc. I have installed windows server 2003. Now i want to upgrade it to server 2008 but before that i want to test windows server 2008. That is why i,m looking online for a copy of windows server 2008 with reg key. Is there any good and trusted place to get windows server 2008.
So as far as I can tell our server is not running any AV whatsoever, so I'm buying Kaspersky Small Business with the 10 PC package:Kaspersky Small Office Security | Virus Protection | Kaspersky Lab to install on it and our other PCs, and I was wondering if there's anything I need to know about installing AV on a server.
I have a dedicated windows server 2008 r2 enterprise.I am running an SSTP VPN but only have 2 IP address to connect to the internet on.My issue is that one of the IPs is for the IIS7 etc and the other is for VPN use.How can I apply the same IP to more than one user allowing them to connect all at one.There are in total about 5 users who want to use the VPN service and I dont really want to pay.How do I apply the same IP to all accounts and allow them to connect and all use the same IP at once.
Still trying to get this XP pro SP3 to connect to or log into the server, a Windows 2008 jobber. I get the pop up that says unable to access the server, may be a permissions issue. I am administrator on both though and it should not be an issue plus I can ping each machine from the other. The XP machine does not show up in the network on the server though. The server shows up on the XP but then will not allow me to log into it. I changed all user names and pass codes on all the machines to be the same and it cleared up a number of issues except this one. The network name on the server is Network 2 and on another machine the network is named Network 3. Don't know what this means. This XP machine used to connect to the server without issues. My server guy moved away and well, I am just not that savy on 2008 Server. All the other machines are Windows 7. Oh yes, this is a work group with DHCP from a VPN and a Comcast (bless their souls) gateway.
I would like to create a website to allow users to legally watch videos in streaming but I am struggling in understanding what the related cost would be from a storage and transfer stand point.
I have rolled out Terminal Services on Server 2008 R2 for a company I used to work for, it worked perfect the users could go home and browse to our web domain and login and use apps straight from the server.there'd be no Microsoft stuff to be accessed just pure Linux Servers but probarbly if users access the online terminal services on Linux they'd be using a Windows PC
Can I install win2008r2 standard to a 500gb usb ultra portable harddrive and connect it to my net book and run it ? I am studying for the MCITP and want to use it for that purpose?
I am involved in a huge project that requires Servers PCs to function as Routers in schools to prevent broadcast traffic issues (Thread here: Need Professional Advice on 3 MANs implementations - Long story short: Can't buy regular routers because of budget and neet to use current equipment to make the network work, that is, Windows Servers 2008 with 2 NICs.
Now to the point. We are making tests but can't make Static routes to work properly. Design is as follows:
Now we have seen that we need to use this command (in cmd) to add a static route in W2008:
route add [NETWORK DESTINATION] mask [SUBNETMASK] [GATEWAY] if [NIC]
Q1: What exact command(s) do we have to use to make the Laptop in 10.10.10.0 to access Internet? How would you fill those fields based on the diagram? Q2: How many Static routes do we need to declare? I am guessing we just need one, but I have been told that I need to activate two (one for packets sent by the laptop to the router, and one for the packets sent by the router to the laptop?)
We have tried several combinations and can't make laptop to access Internet, not even to ping 192.168.1.5. We have just accomplished pinging to 192.168.1.181 from the Laptop, and to ping 10.10.10.2 from the Server but that's as far as we went.
I just started a new job and on there server running Server 2008 they have a 1TB hd it is mirrored. Issue I saw right away is they save EVERYTHING there. Is there an easy way to just add diskspace like as an external storage or whatever without having to rebuild server and rebuild raid?
I can't join a Windows 2008 Server from client computer running Windows Vista Business Edition. I get the message "Network path not Found" yet I can ping the server and the server can ping my computer.
I have a home server that I'm using to host a site with a domain purchased from Go Daddy. I understand how to set up a static IP address on Win Server 2008, but my provider will not allow for me to purchase a static IP because I'm a home customer, not a business.My question is this: should I just ipconfig my ip address every seven days and then change my server's address? Is there a software alternative? Is it necessary for me to change it at all?
