New Features in the Windows Server 2003 Family

In the Windows Server 2003 family of operating systems, Microsoft has improved the function of the Account Lockout feature on both servers and client computers.

Computers Running Windows Server 2003 That Act As Network Servers

To improve the experience for users and to decrease the overall total cost of ownership, Microsoft made the following changes to the behavior of domain controllers in the Windows Server 2003 family:
• Password history check (N-2): Before a Windows Server 2003 operating system increments badPwdCount, it checks the invalid password against the password history. If the password is the same as one of the last two entries that are in the password history, badPwdCount is not incremented for both NTLM and the Kerberos protocol. This change to domain controllers should reduce the number of lockouts that occur because of user error.
• Single user object on demand replication: See the "Urgent Replication" section in this document for more information.
• Optimized replication frequency: The default frequency for replication between sites is to replicate every 15 minutes with a 3-second offset to stagger the replication interval. This optimization improves the replication of a password change in a site because it decreases the chances that the domain controller would have to contact the PDC operations master.

Computers Running Windows Server 2003 Family Acting As Network Clients

Microsoft has added the following features in the Windows Server 2003 family to gather the process ID that is using the credentials that fail authentication:
• Auditing logon changes: There are entries for all logon and logoff events (528 and 540, as well as 529 through 539).
• Auditing of processes encountering authentication failures: New information is added to the Security event log when authentication failures occur:
• Caller User Name
• Caller Domain
• Caller Logon ID
• Caller Process ID
 
Note:
  To use the process ID, turn on success auditing for Audit process tracking events so that you can obtain the process identifier (PID) for the associated Event 592. If you do not do this, the PID is not useful after the process stops. To view audit process tracking, in the Group Policy Microsoft Management Console (MMC), in the console tree, double-click Computer Configuration, double-click Windows Settings, double-click Security Settings, double-click Local Policies, and then double-click Audit Policy.

Microsoft has added the following administrative enhancements to provide more account lockout information than the information that is available in the default configuration of the Windows Server 2003 family:

• AcctInfo.dll: The AcctInfo.dll file is a property page extension for user objects in the Active Directory Users and Computers MMC that provides detailed information about user password attributes. An administrator can use the AcctInfo.dll file to reset user account passwords on a domain controller that is in the user's Active Directory site.
• LockoutStatus.exe: The LockoutStatus.exe tool displays bad password count and time information from all of the domain controllers that are in a domain. You can run this tool as either a stand-alone tool or as an extension to the AcctInfo.dll file when you place it in the Systemroot\System32 folder on your computer.

Error in CONFIG.SYS line XX

Usually caused by a missing/corrupted file or device driver, or typing error.

Bad or missing COMMAND.COM

Any one of the following reasons could be the cause of this message

  • COMMAND.COM file was deleted or renamed.
  • COMMAND.COM wrong version
  • COMMAND.COM has a damaged header.
    • SOLUTION:
  • Use a Startup floppy (must be the same version or later as the system your trying to boot).
  • Type sys c: at the A:\> prompt and press enter.
  • Reboot

    • HIMEM.SYS not loaded

    The HIMEM.SYS command line in your config.sys file must appear before any commands that start programs or device drivers that use extended memory. If any of these other programs or devices try to load before HIMEM.SYS is loaded you could receive this error message.

    Missing or corrupt HIMEM.SYS

    The file may have been deleted from the C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND directory, or there is a line in CONFIG.SYS calling on a different version of HIMEM.SYS.

     

    SCSI

    The SCSI and CD-ROM support built into Windows requires that CD-ROM drives provide SCSI parity to function properly. For many drives, this is a configurable option or is active by default.

    The ends of the SCSI bus must have installed. In addition to the requirement that the last external and the last internal SCSI device be terminated, some hardware have additional requirements for where it must be placed in the SCSI chain.

    If Setup does not automatically detect a SCSI CD-ROM drive, try the following:

     

    • Try loading real-mode drivers for the SCSI controller, the CD-ROM driver, and Mscdex.exe, and see if the CD-ROM drive works in MS-DOS.
    • If the drive does work in MS-DOS, in Device Manager, examine the SCSI controller’s properties to make sure it was detected correctly.
    • Check your physical connections.
    • Check the SCSI IDs for all devices to make sure they are unique.

    A SCSI or IDE tape drive or scanner does not show up in Device Manager. Windows does not assign drive letters to tape drives and scanners, because they have no drive to assign a letter to. Therefore, they might appear as Unknown Devices in Device Manager. After you start Windows, it asks if you have a driver for these devices. If you have Windows drivers, click Yes, and then type the path to where the drivers are located. To use existing real-mode drivers, click No. Windows will continue to recognize and support these devices although they are listed as Unknown Devices.
