Re: A couple log entries...

I can't help but fear that your AD has become corupted, replaced or
otherwise has been messed with.

Do all the PC's and servers have their time synching in order.

Is your DNS on all machines configured as it should be?

Cheers

Just ran DCDIAG (from Server 2003 sp1). It ran with no errors, other than
at the end when it cannot find a time server. This is the only DC on the
network.

Any suggestions on a "proactive" repair process for AD, instead of a
restore?

I have a new symptom - one user's password is not accepted, even when I
reset it. Otherwsie, things seem to have stabilized.

run dcdiag on the server ==> what is the result?

Sounds like you have a serious AD corruption, lost the DC ... do you
have any backups and do you know about AD restore using DSRM ... google
on these terms ...

Heck no! There isn't anyone else here but me & the users :)

Interestingly, I am finding the lost rights are speicifc to certain
shared folders; I've been able to reassign rights to the several main
folders that people are reporting.

Do you think this could be some kind of error due to the fact I am
running the original OEM release of SBS 2003 (not SP1)?

Do you think it might be a very good idea, or a very bad idea, for me to
go ahead and apply the SP1 updates? I was planning to do this on Friday
anyway...

THanks!!

Did anyone reinstall the domain controller /SBS server?

Here are two log entries around the time of the server "crash"; could
a dump

The oldest shadow copy of volume C: was deleted to keep disk space
usage for
shadow copies of volume C: below the user defined limit.

The computer BUSINESSSYS_DS tried to connect to the server \\PKY1
using the
trust relationship established by the LDPI domain. However, the
computer
lost the correct security identifier (SID) when the domain was
reconfigured.
Reestablish the trust relationship.

Can't imagine a scenerio as you describe without substantial events
in the
event logs.

You probably want to call Microsoft Support for something like this.

To continue here, try running ipconfig/all , netdiag, and dcdiag /c
/v on
the server and posting the results.

Also, the Administrator cannot access many/most folders on the
server,
from the server desktop. Access Denied.

Help! I have an SBS 2003 Prem server (OEM version - not yet
applied
SP1). Suddenly, a bunch of users lost their SID = I had to reassign
them
a new password to even get them logged in. The Administrator
password
wasn't being accepted, even at the console. I logged in as an
admin-equivalent IT login, and reset the Admin password. Also, some
users can't get into sub-folders in network shares.

The server apparently crashed and rebooted, but I found nothing in
the
logs to explain. I don't even know where to begin as their does
not
appear to be any smoking gun....it's as if something happened to
the DC,
where some users are messed up, others are not. some can access
cetain
files, others cannot.

I just took over this site two weeks ago and still have not figured
out
the group policies etc...anyone heard of anything like what I'm
experiencing?

Thanks!
