Tough day?
Cloning and setting up a lot of machines?
And you receive this error:
“Your computer could not be joined to the domain. You have exceeded the maximum number of computer accounts you are allowed to create in this domain. Contact your system administrator to have this limit reset or increased.”

And now? what you have done?

Active directory has a “quota” for how many machines a user can join in domain by day, to change that you are going to need to install the support tools or go the domain controller.

Follow this steps:

  1. Run Adsiedit.msc as an administrator of the domain.
  2. Expand the Domain NC node. This node contains an object that begins with “DC=” and reflects the correct domain name. Right-click this object, and then click Properties.
  3. In the Select which properties to view box, click Both.
  4. In the Select a property to view box, click ms-DS-MachineAccountQuota.
  5. In the Edit Attribute box, type a number. This number represents the number of workstations that you want users to be able to maintain concurrently.

Look in this picture to have a clear idea:

Change Quota Value

Click Set, and then click OK. Like it? Please leave a commen, be nice :)

When you try to execute an application the following error appears:

“Application Error : The application failed to initialize properly (0xc0000135). Click on OK to terminate the application.”

This is an easy fix.

The application developer used the .Net Framework, juts install the framework and Re-run the application

Remember to Reboot

Easy? Feeling grateful? Just leave a comment saying thanks :)

You open your disk Management Tool and see your Dynamic disk as Healthy but it says (At Risk) on them.
So what is really happening.

In general this kind of problem happens when you have any I/O error, maybe a latency in the SAN, maybe one disk write or read fails. So be aware and check if everything is ok.

Clicking in Re-activate will clean this error, but if it keeps appearing take care, something very bad is happening and can corrupt your data.

You install all the patches in the windows 2003 Server, and When you reboot it´s hang on the “applying security policies” or “Applying computer settings” and nothing happens.

In general it lasts for 2 hours, 1 hour for security and another for computer settings, after that you can log on and stop and disable the APC monitor software. In meantime your network connectios will be disabled on the server including the network services.

Why this happen? Check this KB 905716

If this fix your problem, please be nice and leave a comment :)

Usually this errors occurs when the client Outlook 2000/2003 didn´t receive the Offline Address Book (OAB) correctly or it is missing.

The main reasons for this are: corrupted OAB or missing OAB server file.

When the OAB is corrupted by some reason you must do a Rebuil this is very simple follow this steps:

  1. Open the Exchange System Manager;
  2. Go in the Recipients folders
  3. Go in Offline Address List
  4. Right Click and select REBUILD

Look on the application log, for the success rebuild of the address list.

If this doesnt fix your problem, maybe you just change or upgrade your Exchange Servers and the clients are still looking for the OAB on the wrong servers.

Each storage group has a location for the OAB, you must check this.

Follow this steps to check and fix:

  1. Open the Exchange System Manager;
  2. Open Servers;
  3. Choose your server;
  4. Choose your storage group;
  5. Right click and select proprierities;
  6. Check if there is a server like in the picture below.
