Re: Anyone Experienced with Server 2003 TS & AD ?
i would not clear the logs. Over time that will tell us a story on why and when.
I had one AD server that was so bad that it was having issues at a company i was called to do work on and everything pointed to an old virus that hit it and caused issues. I had to rebuild another one. I had no proof other than old registry entries and malware scan that showed too many issues.
how many people use to the server ? does this happen same time everytime ? Does it happen when people come in the day and everyone signs in in the morning at the same time ?
Just creating a backup AD server is easy and that might be the quickest thing to do even if you have a spare pc. I have ran one on an old pc until i fixed the old server. I am not sure 100 percent that is your issue but i know you can do it that way. AD is very lightweight.
The question in your thread is about what you can have running on AD server and TS server is hard to answer. I have run AD with TS server on it but I do not like doing that. The main reason is because AD controls everything and then if there is a problem with TS server you have to reboot. So at least AD and TS on two servers like you have. Then your questions about AD is that per say is where domain comes from and all your security and what you can and can not do.
The only thing that concerns me is that your have an antivirus server running on the same box. It is common but not best practice as AV can take down a server and run it resources very low.
I would move the antivirus server to a beefy pc or off the domain server.
The 2008 box could you raise itfrom the ashes and make it a Backup domain controller.
I will see if i can find a video or something to show you what to looking for.
Well building the AD server can be very quick as you have all the settings on the old one.
