    In addition to the Operating System (Windows Server 3, SP1), I also installed various non-Microsoft applications on C drive. Will ASR backup (and restore) also non-Microsoft software on Drive C in addition to System State and the Operating System ? TIA, MIke
  • 2. Windows Mobile 5 devices not syncing for non domain admin users
    All our normal users cannot sync with the exchange server, the error message they get is "ActiveSync encountered a problem on the server Support code 0x85010014" However anyone in the "Domain admins" group in AD can sync. There are no related errors in the event logs on either Exchange Front End or Backend. For that matter none on the ISA box either. When you make a normal user a domain admin they have no problem syncing. The same thing applies to OWA and OMA through IE. -- Ron McLay IT Services Manager Human Rights and Equal Opportunity Commission
  • 3. Should I upgrade
    We are presently using 7 computers at work and are using one of these for storing data ( word files , exel files and JPEGS ) , the computer is very old ( pentium 3 with 256 mb memory ) . All the PCs are on Windows Xp pro. The upgrade will be a faster computer...But should we be thining of getting server 2003....I do know that it is far more reliable and more secure for storing data ( more granular control ) but is it worth it ? And what constitutes licences ,will we have to buy 1 more licence , since we are only will be using this comupter only for storing files and not using SQL or other transaction software...But might be doing so in the next 2 years ? Thank you for your help
  • 4. R2 Media
    Hi, Is there a way to look at the Server 2003 media (files/folders) and tell if it is R2 or not? We use Embedded media and copy it as needed (legally). Once it is in the field I need a way to identify if a particular media is R2 or not. How can one tell? Thank you.

Windows Server 2003 runs with only one processor (on some dual-processor or multiple-processor servers)

Postby Windows Server 2003 » Thu, 07 Apr 2005 14:13:04 GMT

If you install Windows Server 2003 on some dual-processor or 
multiple-processor servers, the server may run with only one processor. This 
may occur if the server uses some Pentium Pro or Pentium II processors.

The issue affects the following processors:  . x86 Family 6 Model 1 Stepping 
X GenuineIntel (where X = 1, 2, 6, 7, or 9)
      . x86 Family 6 Model 3 Stepping X GenuineIntel (where X = 3 or 4)

However, I have a "Family 6, Model 5 Stepping 1 GenuineIntel ~332 Mhz" 
processor and the problem still exists. I have loaded Windows Server 2000 
which runs both processors.

Would anyone be so kind as to help me get both processors running?

Thanks,

Jason

It would seem that the only solution is to use different processors.

Why is my processor effected though?

That's a good question...

It may be that they didn't realize the full scope of the problem in the 
original document, and it extends to your processor also.

1.Windows 2003/2003 R2 server - multiple processors

HI,

I am trying to remember the difference in Windows 2003 and 2003 R2 when it 
comes to when you can user Standard or Enterprise Ed.  

If I have 2 processors installed can I use either version for 2003 R2 ?

Thanks

2.Process(Total)/Processor time not matching Processor/Processor Time

Hi
I have a problem understanding the process and processor performance
counters in Windows Server 2003.
I am monitoring a process SP.exe on a 2 processor machine and here is
what I see:

Process (SP)/% Processor Time = 145
Process (All)/% Processor Time = 175 (30 of this is the 'Idle'
process, so I don't care about it)
Thread (Total)/%Processor Time = 175

But,
Processor 0/ % Processor Time = 85
Processor 1/ % Processor Time = 85

Processor/ % Processor Time = 85

And 85 + 85 is way above 145

Morever, when I look in 'Task Manager' , I see SP.exe is shown to be
taking 85% CPU!

Shouldn't CPU times on both processors add up to 145, since that is
the total non-idle time used up by all the processes? And so,
shouldn't Processor/% Processor time be 145/2=72.5?
What contributes to the remaining CPU time?

I am confused.

Thanks!

3.Windows Server 2003 and Multiple Processors

Hi,

Does the Windows Server 2003 standard support multiple processors out of the
box?  We plan to use a couple as a web server / database server couple with
2-4 processors each.

Thanks,

Glenn.


4.Running Windows 2003 Server on Intel P4 Hyper Threaded Processor

Ok Microsoft and Intel agree Hyper Threading should be disabled when Win2K 
Pro and Server. The question is whether Server 2003 like its XP Pro brother 
is blessed with the ability to utlitlize Hyper Threading?

IF "Yes" THEN "What about SQL Server 2000 Standard Edition running on the 
said Win2k3 Server"

IF "No" Why the hell not?

5.Processor utilization on Multi Processor Servers

Hi All

I've noticed that processes which would normally fully utilizes processors 
like winzip or winrar etc. only utilizes the capacity of one (1) CPU in a 
Multi Processor environment via Terminal Services.

If you log on to the console of a Terminal Services server, the process will 
use all CPU's to almost 100% utilization. But through a terminal services 
session it seems to be limited to use only one CPU.

Is this by design or is there a workaround / configuration to all a single 
process to use more CPU power if available in terminal services?

Kind Regards
