Cached Credentials or Domain Logon | Timeout Period?
by Guest TTL_UK- 0 replies
- 516 views
Hi, Does anyone know what the time limit is before a client decides to use its cached credentials (how long does it wait for a DC to respond). .....and more importantly is this timeout configurable? Alternatively, is there any way to get client machines to "try harder" to find a DC? (like a "second knock" or something) I have Vista and W7 client machines and a 2003, native AD. TIA, TTL

[X-post to IE General newsgroup...again!] Are you running WinXP SP2 or SP3? What anti-virus application or security suite is installed and is your subscription current? What anti-spyware applications (other than Defender)? What third-party firewall (if any)? Were any of these applications running in the background when you installed IE8? Has a(another) Norton or McAfee application ever been installed on the computer (e.g., a free-trial version that came preinstalled when you bought it)?

HI, I've been asked if it's possible to prevent domain users from accessing domain machines/resources like network shares from workgroup computers. At the moment they can type in their domain credentials to access resources, we want to prevent any authentication through machines that are not domain members. Does anyone have any suggestions on how me may do this? I know NAP may be the answer but we are 2003 and I dont think that's something we can implement... Is there something i can do maybe in the registry (Access Tokens) to deny authentication through non-domain member workstations perhaps? Mike.

Microsoft released this week a Community Technology Preview test build of its Windows Embedded Compact 7 product -- and introduced yet more murkiness into the "which operating system is best for which form factor" debate.

How to add DefaultInstall to inf file
by Guest Bostjan Glazar- 0 replies
- 182 views
The CDM drivers from FTDI: http://www.ftdichip.com/Drivers/CDM/CDM%202.06.00%20WHQL%20Certified.zip do not have DefaultInstall section in its inf files. So you cannot install the driver with right-click Install. That's the way I've been using to pre-install the driver from InstallShield. I tried to add the DefaultInstall to ftdibus.inf myself, but nothing happens. I had some success with ftdiport.inf, but I actually need ftdibus.inf. Can anyone help me with modification? Here is what I added: [DefaultInstall.NT] CopyFile=FtdiBus.NT.Copy,FtdiBus.NT.Copy2,FtdiBus.Inf AddReg=FtdiBus.NT.AddReg [DefaultInstall.NTamd64] Copy…

Say I do a search on any given drive or volume or folder using Windows Explorer for "A word or phrase in the file". When the search is done, I close the search window entirely. After the search, if I look in Process Explorer, many files remain open as handles under the explorer.exe process. If I keep Process Explorer up while doing the search and then closing it, I can see the handles being opened and some of them not shut in real time, so I know that it is this particular search process causing these open handles. Now, this isn't random in terms of which files get "stuck" as open handles. It is certain files each time that remain open a…

My Vista screen saver will not start up.
by Guest elbornavatar- 0 replies
- 150 views
I don't run the vista side bar. I hate wasting desktop space to it. However there is something to that Analog clock. One time i found a icon of a analog clock, and not knowing what it was, it started both the sidebar and the clock. Discovering what it was, I just as quickly closed the sidebar. But now ever since then, my screen saver refuses to start! Rebooting, changing the time span at which how quickly the screen saver should start, has no effect! Even changing to a different screen saver has no effect. Now what? -- elbornavatar ------------------------------------------------------------------------ elbornavatar's Profil…

Backing Up Files
by Guest Gene L.- 0 replies
- 153 views
Shenan: Thanks for not only reading my inquiry about file back up but for reading it carefully enough to sense my fear of tackling something over my head. I can move around pretty well between folders and programs. I have used spreadsheets for years but before I retired we always had Data Processing personnel to recover lost data. I have set up the peripherals on my computer many times so I think I can handle an external drive. Thanks again for your interest.

Can't get folder setting to stick
by Guest Anthony Giorgianni- 0 replies

Hello All I'm hoping someone can help with this folder settings problem. When I click "Underline icons only when I point to them" in Tools/folder options and then hit Apply or OK, Windows won't change the setting. The folder icons and names remain underlined. If I reopen Tools/folder options, sure enough it's set back to "Underline icon tiles consistent with my browser." I've done this repeatedly. I've also tried switching first to Windows Classic folders, with the same result. Any idea why it won't change? Incidentally, I can change to "Double click to open item." Thanks for any suggestions.
