My server is driving me COMPLETELY NUTS!
Okay, ever since I made a dedicated server I have been driven nuts by accounts and passwords and software.
I have a Proliant 1600 and with it was a burned copy of a utility cd that you installed and included drivers. I installed it and while it did install the drivers almost all the programs that came with it didn't work right and fifteen minuets after I had rebooted the server (following the install) my system logs ere packed with errors and corruption that in some cases didn't even exist.
I then uninstalled the utilities but to my astonishment, some of the programs remained and continued to flood my logs. One of them being "NIC agent" and you couldn't remove them now because windows could not see it.
The second problem is accounts.
I have the one admin account, an account for my Hamachi connection and accounts for other systems (linux, unix etc.).
The problems there can range from the systems refusing to retain connection passwords (you check "remember password" and an hour later you have to login again), to security settings not working (You prevent an account from writing to a drive but it will let you do it anyways) to mystery accounts (my laptop wants me to login to an account called "IPC$" and it has a mystery password) and systems which refuse to login to accounts stating that either the account selected does not have specific rights or the account does not exist.
It's driving me and my friends nuts and I can't seem to figure out what's doing all this.
What should I do? Please, I'm desperate.
