If you have installed Windows 7 already or probably would install Windows 7 four week from now, you might notice some applications you are using in Windows Vista is already gone in Windows 7. Don’t be surprised, it was not a mistake but by design of Microsoft. The three noticeable applications missing in Windows 7 are the Windows Mail program, Windows Photo Gallery, and the Windows Movie Maker. These applications are gone not because they are not useful but probably because Microsoft wants you to visit their live website.As such, getting Windows Mail program Windows Photo Gallery and Windows Movie [...]Post from: Windows Vista Weblog More...

require user to Ctrl+Alt+Del to enter Vista Business
by Guest Jeff- 0 replies
- 151 views
I've got a new laptop running Vista Business. Once I booted the machine, I went into Advanced User, and saw that the option to require users to Ctrl+Alt+Delete was greyed out. I proceeded to join the pc to the domain, and when the screen came up it was at sign-on, no Ctrl-Alt-Del. I launched gpedit.msc on the laptop and changed the Interactive login: Do not require CTRL+ALT+DEL to disabled. On first reboot it worked, but on subsequent reboot it changed to enabled. I then launched Domain Policy on server and set Interactive login: Do not require CTRL+ALT+DEL to disabled. It worked on first bootup on laptop, but not subsequent. How do I change the…

I can't seem to make this work on Windows Server 2008 SP2. When our environment was still on Windows 2003 account (user) lockout events showed up in security event log on the 2003 DCs that authenticated the account. The same audit policy is being applied to the new Windows 2008 DC but the account lockout events wont show up at all. I know the event ID changed and I have read about audit subcategories and used auditpol /set commands and options to play with auditing but still won't work. Has anybody experienced this? Cheers
