My problem is related to SQL Server. Many users are having access denied, even being members of a Windows group which has access to the SQL Server 2000 SP4 instance. They can access the instance only if I explicitly add a login for each user. I'm sure that there is no group with Deny Access. The SQL Server is member of domain A and the groups mentioned and their membership are members of domain B. I know there is an external trust relationship between A and B. Users from A cannot access domain B, but domain B can access resources on domain A. Logins created for groups from the same domain (A) as the server are working correctly. Only groups from the othe…

Microsoft has long been worried about Linux competition in the server market. When it came to ordinary PCs and laptops, however, it knew it had little to fear. But that was then. Now Microsoft may fear Linux on the desktop as much as it does the Mac. It's finally taking Linux seriously as a desktop operating system, and it has designed Windows 7 to kill it. Let me explain. The threat to Windows comes entirely from "netbooks" -- lightweight, inexpensive laptops that typically use Intel's low-powered Atom processor and don't come with substantial amounts of RAM or powerful graphics processors. They're designed mainly for browsing the Web,handling e-mail, writing me…
