PDC attendees got the Windows 7 pre-beta build, and MDC attendees will be getting Windows 7 Beta 1, but what about other Microsoft enthusiasts? Well, Redmond is planning a public beta in early 2009, but beta testers will likely get their hands on a Beta 1 before the public beta (rumor has it that January 5 is the day). This week, Microsoft has started sending out invitations to potential testers who would like to join the "Microsoft Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 beta program" (I've included an excerpt of the e-mail sent out to testers at the bottom). After explaining that only those willing to file bug reports and participate should accept the invitation, the e…

There’s talk that Microsoft has signed off internally on the Beta 1 Windows 7 bits. Word is the build number of what goes out to testers will be 6.1.7000.0.081212-1400. What do all those digits mean? And when will testers actually get their hands on the code? Windows power users and long-time beta testers probably need no explanation, but the rest of us undoubtedly could stand some schooling. Here’s how it works: 6 = Major NT OS version number (Windows 7, as the Softies have said, is built on the Windows Vista kernel, which they call NT Version 6) 1 = Minor version number 7000 = Major build number 0 = Minor build number (if needed otherwise omitted on most builds…

Hi, We're in the process of setting up two Windows Server 2008 machines, one to be a web server and the other an SQL Server. Having enabled auditing on the machines, the SQL Server is continually logging events such as that below, at the rate of around 40 every 10 seconds. The process ID referred to is the DCOM Launcher (svchost.exe -k DcomLaunch). Is there any way to discover why so many events are being generated and, ideally, stop them being generated? Thanks, Adam Sample event: A handle to an object was requested. Subject: Security ID: SYSTEM Account Name: MACHINE$ Account Domain: FOOBAR Logon ID: 0x3e7 Object: Object Server: P…

Hi everyone, I'm trying to do a clean install of a Windows 2008 Server Standard but I'm having a problem that I have not found on the net yet, so I'll try to explain here. I cannot drop any screenshots since I'm installing the new server on 3 HD's Raid5 in the same case as the one running a Win2003 server now. So I won't be able to try some manoeuvers too. Problem: The installation worked (RAID5), installed NIC driver and being able to connect to internet without problems.
