A few days ago I came across a problem, where a client computer which was in a Windows 2k3 SBS domain was not willing to synchronize with WSUS. I found a simple resolution: using the command ‘wuauclt /detectnow’. This step is
actually called “detection”. The term “synchronization” usually implies the communication between the WSUS server and microsoft.com.  The updates are then downloaded to the client (automatically).

1. Install SNMP because it is a preprequesite for HP Insight Management Agents.

2.  Dowloaded and install the HP Insight Management Agents .

3. Download and install HP Lights-Out Online Configuration Utility.

4. Make an reset_admin_pw.xml file containing this part of code:

<ribcl VERSION="2.22">
<login USER_LOGIN="Administrator" PASSWORD="boguspassword">
  <user_INFO MODE="write">
   <mod_USER USER_LOGIN="Administrator">
    <password value="newpass"/>
   </mod_USER>
  </user_INFO>
</login>
</ribcl>

5. First copy the reset_admin_pw.xml into the installation directory of HPONCFG.exe and than open the path in command line. After that use this command:

HPONCFG.exe /f reset_admin_pw.xml /l log.txt > output.txt

6. Open a browser and navigate to iLO.

7. Job done !

I have a problem on DL 380 G5, E200 Smart Array controller, we Run SBS2003 SP2+4GB RAM+Exchange 2003 SP2+SQL 2005 SP2+Pervasive SQL.
All works ok until one job starts…(this jobs works on 40 different server configuration without problems), Pervasive Database used in this job is excluded from antivirus realtime scanning.
No events are recorded, no bluescreen, no dump files created, server just hangs and stays in this status until hard reboot. Only ping command is responsive – nothing else!

Resolution

1. Update the firmware with Firmware Maintenance CD 8.00 :

     Firmware Maintenance CD 8.00

2. Install the Proliant Support Pack for Microsoft Windows Server 2003 8.00:

    Proliant Support Pack 8.00

3. If this don’t fix your problem, you can try this:

    a. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/941276
    b. if this don’t help, try to change the BBWC ratio to 100% read or disable it from ACU and check if the issue persists

To resolve this issue, create the Authentication Packages registry entry by using Registry Editor. To do this, follow these steps:
        1. Click Start, click Run, type regedit, and then click OK.
        2. In Registry Editor, locate and then click the following registry subkey:
            HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa
        3. On the Edit menu, point to New, and then click Multi-String Value.
        4. Type Authentication Packages, and then press ENTER.
        5. Double-click Authentication Packages.
        6. In the Value data list, type msv1_0, and then click OK.
        7. Quit Registry Editor.
        8. Restart the computer.

When you attempt to make files or folders available offline, the following error message may be displayed:

               Offline files (\\server\share): Unable to make file Filename available offline on
               \\server\share. Files of this type cannot be made available offline.

You can modify the list of excluded extensions by editing the appropriate Group Policy object (local, domain, organizational unit, and so on). For example, to remove the .pst extension from the list of excluded files, enable the following sample policy in Policy Editor:

               Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Network\Offline Files\Files not
               cached

Then, type the following string in the Extensions box:

               *.slm;*.mdb;*.ldb;*.mdw;*.mde;*.db?

Log off, and then log back on.

To edit the local policy, click Start, click Run, type gpedit.msc, and then click OK. To edit the domain policy, use Active Directory Users and Computers snap-in.
