Servers The other day I Found A Fix for a recent problem I was having. The issue is described as follows;
My Small Business Server 2003 suddenly for no apparent reason reverted to its original 5 user licenses. I had actually lost 15 CALS without any obvious cause. The only other issue with the server at the time was low disk space.
It turns out that this is a known bug that occurs when an SBS Server runs low on disk space on the OS drive. It can also stem from improper AV Scanning/Removal or poor system resources, etc.
To fix your licensing problem please follow these steps.
1. Find licstr.cpa & Autolicstr.cpa files under thew c:\windows\system32 folder.
Note: Make backup copies of these files to C:\Temp just to be safe.
2. Rename the original licstr.cpa to licstr.old.
3. Rename autolicstr.cpa file to licstr.cpa.
4. Restart the License Logging Service. Start, Run, Services.msc, locate the service and restart.
5.Goto Server Management Console -> Licensing, refresh the page and you should now have your original licenses in tact.
I hope you too have Found A Fix!

I needed to be able to access more than one pc in the office network remotely using Remote Desktop Connection. Since RDP is set to use port 3389 I had to make several changes.
1. Change the default port number on the second (listening) computer. To do this;
– Start Registry Editor. [Start, Run, Regedit]
– Locate and then click the following registry subkey: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\TerminalServer\WinStations\RDP-Tcp\PortNumber
– On the Edit menu, click on Modify, and then click Decimal.
– Type the new port number, exampleand then click OK.
– Quit Registry Editor and restart the computer.
2. Modify the router to port forward this new port number to the specified IP address of the specific machine you are trying to connect to.
Note: You should ensure that both router firewall and software firewall allow access via this port.
3. Make sure you specifiy the new address:port when connecting over RDP.
I hope you too have Found A Fix!

Servers The other day while browsing the Internet, I Found A Fix for a recent problem I was having. The issue is described as follows;
I discovered that my Small Business Server (2003) was extremely very slow to respond to basic tasks. Printers were not working, browsing files and folders was slow and users were complaining of overall speed issues. On further inspection, I learned that C:\WINDOWS\system32\LogFiles\ folder had over 6gb of logfiles. The question was, could I delete these files and more importantly, can I prevent this from reocurring?
The solution and description to this error is set out below;
