It's just a VM from a volume license 2008 R2 ISO download. I'm just going to try UAC now - it seems to be a console thing, I can do \\server\e$ or whatever drive it may be with no problem. From: Andrew S. Baker [mailto:asbz...@gmail.com] Sent: 21 February 2011 13:33 To: NT System Admin Issu

RE: Windows 2008 R2 - Default NTFS Permissions on new drive

You can't actually do a run-as for Windows Explorer. There is only a single process per login, so the run-as doesn't work as expected. Regards, Michael B. Smith Consultant and Exchange MVP http://TheEssentialExchange.com From: Paul Hutchings [mailto:paul.hutchi...@mira.co.uk] Sent: Monday, Febr

RE: Windows 2008 R2 - Default NTFS Permissions on new drive

Completely about UAC. Disable UAC or use the File Server / Shares MMCs (elevated, of course) instead of Windows Explorer. Regards, Michael B. Smith Consultant and Exchange MVP http://TheEssentialExchange.com From: Andrew S. Baker [mailto:asbz...@gmail.com] Sent: Monday, February 21, 2011 8:33

How are you creating these VMs? This doesn't sound like normal behavior... -ASB: http://about.me/Andrew.S.Baker Sent from my Motorola Droid On Feb 21, 2011 8:20 AM, "Paul Hutchings" wrote: > Just starting to roll out some 2008 R2 based VM's. > > I've created a couple of new partitions on one o

Re: Windows 2008 R2 - Default NTFS Permissions on new drive

I often find there's some permissions funniness unless UAC is turned off by GPO. You could maybe give that a bash. Can you actually get into the security tab on the root of the drive and see if it errors out there? On 21 February 2011 13:25, Paul Hutchings wrote: > Not consciously no – should i

Deactive license in VAMT?

We are using the Volume Activation Management Tool to do proxy activations for our Windows 2008 servers. I have a 2008 (virtual) server that was activated using this, and had to be replaced with a new VM. I am therefore getting ready to decommission/delete this server, but wasn't sure if I needed

Not consciously no - should it be just to access a hard drive? I did try running Windows Explorer with "Run as Administrator" and I still got access denied. From: James Rankin [mailto:kz2...@googlemail.com] Sent: 21 February 2011 13:24 To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Re: Windows 2008 R2 -

Tool or process for troubleshooting/benchmarking logon times

Does anyone know of a tool or process that could be used to test and troubleshoot the logon process? I'm running on Windows Server 2008 R2 with XenApp 6 and as far as I can tell the user environment logging that you could enable in previous Windows versions has been removed, meaning that figuring o
