RDP Certificate for Vista
by Guest pkokkinis- 0 replies
- 157 views
Hi, if I enable RDP on Vista and connect via RDP to the machine a selfsigned certificate is created and used for the RDP(S) connection. Is there a way to select another the RDP certificate as in Windows Server 2003 SP1? I deleted the selfsigned certificare and requested a Computer certificate from a enterprise CA, but on establishing a new RDP connection a new selfsigned certificate is created and used for RDP. I think selfsigned certs offer a much lower security level than certs from a companywide trusted enterprise CA. Thanks! -- pkokkinis

Hi guys, I'm wondering if there's an equivalent to the /checkupgradeonly switch for the 2008 RC2 install. I have several applications running on the server and I plan to do a clean install rather than an upgrade in any case, but I would like to verify that they will still work once 2008 RC2 is installed. Is there any such feature? Thanks.

SNMP OID Disk Queue
by Guest Brock Hensley- 0 replies
- 249 views
Hello, I'm having a hard time determining the appropriate OID to input in a remote monitoring application to monitor a server's individual drive's Disk Queue Lengths. I've tried SNMP Informant and the like but have not been able to find anything that works on Windows Server 2003 and that finds the individual (eg. 4 drives) disk's Disk Queue Length OID. Can anyone point me in the right direction to determining the OID for each individual hard drive's Disk Queue Lengths? Thank you, -- Brock Hensley http://BHensley.com ==

If I right click on a file there is usually the option to"Open with..". Selecting this option list possible programs with which to open the application and, below this, there is a check box labelled "always use the selected program to open this kind of file". The check box is always checked, so clicking on OK permanently associates the selected program with the file type in question. However, I usually use this option to open a file in an application that I would not normally use for that type of file (e.g. Notepad to examine a non-text file). I do not want to associate the application with that type of file. Unfortunately it is very easy to accident…

The only thing left for me to do is get one problem solved and that is that my ISP blocks port 80 so I have to use a different port. That is fine however one thing, the only way I can connect to my website is to type www.mywebsite.com:8080 or whatever port I choose (port 7654 ext.) the only known solution that I have come across is NO-ip.com's service This service is located on this page: So your ISP has decided to block port 80? basically this paid service allows you to use a non http standard port (80) and it will redirect it to the port you ar…

Hello All, I am having a problem when adding a target portal with MS iSCSI initiator. After I enter all of the portal information I click OK and I get the following error: The displayData.name field cannot be null.
