Why does windows server 2008 automatically shutdown?

Server 2008 doesn't automatically shut down; that would be counterproductive in a production environment. I would need more information as to why your server appears to be doing this.

The only reason I can think of for a shutdown is if the server were not activated or was past the evaluation date on an evaluation copy of the server.

Where are the 13 Internet servers located?

Number of server are connect each other .there is no specific place.

What is dns sever?

Without the DNS server you would have to know the IP address of every computer you are communicating with. DNS exists to resolve the names of computers to IP addresses. It also aids in locating services on a network.

What is OLP NL in server licenses?

OLP = Open License Program Microsoft Open License is a Volume Licensing program for small to midsize organizations that have fewer than 250 desktop PCs. The program provides a simple, flexible, and cost-effective way to buy the latest Microsoft technology to meet your organization's needs and procurement procedures. http://www.microsoft.com/licensing/programs/open/default.mspx NL = No Level

Some Microsoft Volume License programs have "Levels", which are basically bulk discounts. Some other companies call these "price bands". Depending on the number of licenses purchased at once, discounts get applied. If you don't purchase enough for a discount, this is called No Level or NL.

For example:

Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 Standard CAL has two discount Levels: No Level - for 1 to 49 users Level C - for 50+ users

What the difference between a local user profile and a roaming user profile?

Is DHCP the same thing as NAT?

No.

DHCP (Dynamic Host Control Protocol) is a method of providing clients network information from a router or DHCP server. It can tell a host what their IP address is, what the gateway is, what the DNS servers are, WINS servers, etc.

NAT (Network Address Translation) is the technology used by a gateway that allows a private ip address to access information on the public internet.

For example, You have a router (10.0.0.1) that acts as a DHCP server and DNS server. Something connects to your network and broadcasts a DHCP request, and is then given an ip address (10.0.0.5 for example) and told where to go to resolve domain names.

That client wants to connect to google, it makes the request first to the name server through the gateway, and then information is sent back to the gateway. NAT Allows the gateway to get the information to the correct computer behind it even though it is not directly accessable. (Google can not directly access 10.0.0.5 and vice versa)

What is FSMO Roles for Active Directory?

FSMO stands for the Flexible Siingle Master Operations. The Five FSMO Roles are as follows: There are just five operations where the usual multiple master model breaks down, and the Active Directory task must only be carried out on one Domain Controller. FSMO roles: # PDC Emulator - Most famous for backwards compatibility with NT 4.0 BDC's. However, there are two other FSMO roles which operate even in Windows 2003 Native Domains, synchronizing the W32Time service and creating group policies. I admit that it is confusing that these two jobs have little to do with PDCs and BDCs.

# RID Master - Each object must have a globally unique number (GUID). The RID master makes sure each domain controller issues unique numbers when you create objects such as users or computers. For example DC one is given RIDs 1-4999 and DC two is given RIDs 5000 - 9999.

# Infrastructure Master - Responsible for checking objects in other other domains. Universal group membership is the most important example. To me, it seems as though the operating system is paranoid that, a) You are a member of a Universal Group in another domain and b) that group has been assigned Deny permissions. So if the Infrastructure master could not check your Universal Groups there could be a security breach.

# Domain Naming Master - Ensures that each child domain has a unique name. How often do child domains get added to the forest? Not very often I suggest, so the fact that this is a FSMO does not impact on normal domain activity. My point is it's worth the price to confine joining and leaving the domain operations to one machine, and save the tiny risk of getting duplicate names or orphaned domains.

# Schema Master - Operations that involve expanding user properties e.g. Exchange 2003 / forestprep which adds mailbox properties to users. Rather like the Domain naming master, changing the schema is a rare event. However if you have a team of Schema Administrators all experimenting with object properties, you would not want there to be a mistake which crippled your forest. So its a case of Microsoft know best, the Schema Master should be a Single Master Operation and thus a FSMO role.

In windows server 2003 How many Client Access Licenses do you have by default?

Hi, In windows server 2003, by default you can use 3 client access licenses; however you can increase the number of licenses by adding the Terminal server in you network and purchase more licenses from Microsoft. Once you add the Terminal server role on the server, then simply add the Terminal Services Licensing from "Add remove windows component" With this way you can use more than three session at a time. Let me know if you have any questions. -Nitin

How do you get email tabs in active directory?

Be sure to have an alias listed in the general tab. I had this problem and as soon as I listed an alias, the email addresses tab showed up. Just make the alias their username and you should be fine.

Why would an administrator want to select the Respond only to known client computers option on the PXE Server Initial Settings page?

Choose this option if you want the server to respond only to known clients that have been prestaged. Prestaging a computer requires that an administrator create a managed computer account in Active Directory before booting the client so that it can be installed over the network.
