Yesterday at Tech Ed IT Pro 2008 in Orlando we announced some of the enhancements we’re making in Internet Explorer 8 to help IT Professionals deploy and manage IE8 within their organization. We wanted to share those with the IT Pros on our blog. Over the last year we’ve surveyed over 2000 IT Professionals to understand their concerns and priorities for deploying and managing desktops and software within their organization. We learned that IT Pros have a lot of things to worry about - more than 30 different concerns came up. However, some topics arose considerably more frequently than others. Here are the top ones: [*]Deployment and implementation of new technology[…

If I save a perf mon as a template on a machine, is there anyway to copy it to another machine to be used? Also, if I create a set of counters for a particular type machine (Web or SQL), is there any way to copy the template file and edit it's settings so I can get the counters for a different server - another Web or SQL server? Thanks

I needed to delete about 2.7 GB of 500,000 files yesterday and it seemed that it was taking far too long. I was deleting these files using the command prompt. I opened another command prompt to measure the progress by seeing how much free space became available every minute. It was only about 2 MB, thus the system was only deleting about 370 files per minute. At this rate it would take more than 22 hours to complete. I ended up reformatting the drive because this would take only 25 minutes. Does anyone have any idea whether or not deleting 500,000 files of an average of 5 KB each should take more than 22 hours on a fast quad- core sata drive machine? What cou…

Hello all. I have about 6-8 workstations that will not shut down or log off. This was an isolated event and I had 1 workstation that was doing it for a while now it seems to be spreading. Network is virus and adware free and so are the workstations. Was there some sort of update that would have caused this problem?? I don't or cannot understand why it would start with 1 system then over the past 3-4 days I now have 8 that will not shut down or log off using the windows shut down screen. Any help would be greatly appreciated!! Mark

Hi! We just build a new Windows 2003 SP2 server. We would like to allow one group to be able to go to Scheduled Tasks from their own computers via unc path: \\servername\Scheduled Tasks. What permissions should we assign to that group on that server (we don't have a specific GPO defined on AD)? We gave them rights as backup operators and they can see Scheduled Tasks share but when they double click on it they can't see any tasks underneath. T.
