Getting DHCP reservations and print server configs from a crashed server hard disk
Hi there, I know no ones probably watching this list but if any one can provide me with he following I would be so grateful. Server 2003 has crashed, cant get it to boot up at all. Managed to get access to the hard disks using a Linux live CD, and currently transferring the data off. But to save a huge amount of time it would be handy to get the DHCP reservations, and the printer configuration, driver names, ports, shared names etc But dont know which file or files these are stored in or if they are even readable. TIA for any help anyone can give.

Hi Graeme, A quick win is the DHCP database which I know by default goes here: %systemroot%\system32\dhcp\dhcp.mdb I hope this little crumb of info helps.

Hi, Yeh I moved that across and started DHCP it had the scopes and settings but not the reservations.

RE: Server Core
I've always struggled with the point of Core. Core sounds appealing, until you consider it doesn't save much patching and it requires a different support model. I had a long discussion with a senior MCS guy about whether Core was a fit for us and one of the things he said stuck with me, that many MCS consultants mostly saw Core as a Microsoft answer to single-purpose Linux boxes in the data center (for example, running DHCP or DNS). -Malcolm -Original Message- From: Free, Bob [mailto:r...@pge.com] Sent: Thursday, June 03, 2010 16:41 To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: Server Core What is interesting is if you talk to the product group and PSS the adoption of Server Core, and RODC for that matter, is abysmal, particularly based on all the desire for the features from customers and the amount of dev that went into them.

Here are some ways that you could use Server Core to make your network more secure, more reliable, easier to manage, and easier to maintain: Infrastructure servers. Domain controllers, DHCP servers, and DNS servers are the backbone of your network. Running these roles on Server Core can strengthen this backbone in every way. Branch office servers. Because Server Core installations are more secure and require fewer software updates than Full installations, they are ideal for use in remote locations, such as branch offices where you have few (or no) information technology (IT) staff and less physical security than at your head office location. For example, you might deploy a Server Core installation as a read-only domain controller with BitLocker for added security at a branch office. Server consolidation and testing. Because Hyper-V is a supported role on Server Core, you can use Server Core to consolidate multiple servers onto a single system while still keeping them isolated. This can help lower your TCO by reducing your hardware requirements and your power, cooling, and management costs. Server Core running Hyper-V also provides a convenient environment for deployment testing. Extending hardware life. Because Server Core has lower disk and memory requirements than Full installations, you may be able to get more life out of old systems. For example, when you need to upgrade your e-mail or database servers, those boxes could be moved down the line to become network infrastructure servers running Server Core. Non-Usage Scenarios What shouldn't you use Server Core for? The main thing to understand is that Server Core is intended to run only the nine server roles listed previously. Nothing else. In other words, Server Core can't be used as a platform for running server applications such as Exchange Server, Microsoft SQL Server, or third-party server applications like SAP. You also can't use it for running Microsoft Office System applications or Microsoft Office SharePoint Server. And you can't (or at least shouldn't) use it to run custom applications you've developed in-house. In short, Server Core is not an application hosting platform. -Original Message- From: Kurt Buff [mailto:kurt.b...@gmail.com] Sent: Thursday, June 03, 2010 11:31 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Re: Server Core Uh, So what needs a GUI on top?

RE: Server Core
I know you can run the SCCM 2007 SP2 client and the latest SEP client on Core. I would be a bit surprised if some of those other 3rd-party clients support Core, though. Additionally, I’d ask what you are trying to accomplish by running all your DCs on Core. I’m not sure the small reduction in attack surface or in patch requirements is worth the support issues and reduced functionality in many cases. -Malcolm From: Christopher Bodnar [mailto:christopher_bod...@glic.com] Sent: Friday, June 04, 2010 07:34 To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Re: Server Core I've been reading this thread pretty closely since we will be brining up a 2008 test domain very shortly.

%systemroot%\system32\dhcp\backup should have it all. Copy that over to the new server and do a DHCP restore.
