I have windows vista business edition, my connect to internet though DSL modem, Suddenly my windows block internet connection, when I run “Windows Network Diagnosticsâ€, it shows Heading : security policy settings on this computer might be blocking the connection > the following policy might need to be adjusted to allow windows to connect Policy provider : Windows firewall Filter name : filter name Block Idman from all other ports When I shut down and restart the internet sometimes starts . I restart until the problem is solved. How does the policy change without my intimation.? I could not found options for the same in firewall setting? And, h…

I am having the same problem, except, I haven't re-installed XP on my system. I have ran the diagnostic software from WD, and the program shows no errors on the drive. My drive is a ATA100/133, 40GB 7,200rpm with NTFS volume. Microsofts KB showed to uncheck "Enable write caching on the disk." I followed the steps for doing this, and found no option to turn it of on the HD in question. I did, however, find the option for the secondary HD that is on my computer. What other things should I be looking for? "Bruce Chambers" wrote: > Chandramouly wrote: > > Hi, > > I am experiencing the delayed write failed for quite sometime. Am using > &g…

Guys, Am having difficulty understanding a few things with regard to Load Balancing WTS . Environment will be 3 TS servers sitting behind a Cisco Load Balancer… My questions are: 1) If im using session directory, does it matter what balancing algorithm I am using? The reason I ask this is because doesn't the session directory determine whether you already have a disconnected session and then somehow reconnect you back that server (so effectively the Session Directory keeps you Sticky to the TS server). So for example if I hit my Virtual IP on the Load Balancer and it takes me to Server1, I then disconnect and come back half hour later. When I hit…

I recently updated some applications and now I get this message. any advice?

A friend asked me for help but I have to confess I haven't got a clue this time - I hope someone here can help. She is finding that some websites are taking ages to load but others are perfectly OK. She's using XP-SP2, IE6 and is on AOL. I've cleared cookies, temp. internet files, and history and her antivirus is up to date and scanned but found nothing. I'm going to check for trojans and spyware next. One example and something that is consistently repeatable is that if she goes to Google.co.uk and selects pages from the UK, then enters "nrec" (not sure of the significance of nrec [without the quotes]) into the search bar, the results page takes about 30 to …

I hope this is the best place to post this as I saw no WDS forum. I have a WDS server setup running on Win2k3 Sp2 and everything seems to be initialized. I can PXE boot a machine and it will show up in the pending devices windows. I had the system auto accept the client and it made an AD computer object, but the process was interrupted so we had to start over. Now for that machine only we get this error: PXE-E55: Proxy DHCP service did not reply to request on port 4011 All other machines we can PXE boot and they appear in pending, but then if we try a second time they fail. It is as if WDS records their MAC and will not let them PXE boot a second time. We are j…

I was a long time Ghost user myself from way back when you ran it from a single floppy. (version 5 or 6) I've discovered that Ghost was fine up and until Symantec bout it and came out with Ghost 2003. From there on it was all downhill. Much more complex to use, etc. That's when I heard about Acronis Trueimage and downloaded their 15 day trial version, I think that was back at ver 8 of Trueimage. I've never gone back to Ghost since. I haven't had a single problem with Versions 8,9, or 10 in both backing up and restoring anything. I'm sorry that it's just not working properly for you.

In Windows Server 2003, I've found the following bug (in Windows 2000 Server, everything works perfectly): In Internet Option, I've added an "supervisor password" to "Content Advisor" and I've also specified a hint which tells users to come to see me if they need the password. However, the hint isn't displayed. Instead, "<NONE>" is displayed! I've done the same thing in Windows 2000 Server but the hint string is displayed correctly. PS: IE7 is installed in that Windows Server 2003.

Hallo, 1. I tell my OS configuration of server (we call it as a Interlab server). HD= 1.8TB; Ram= 4GB; 4 Processors; Xeon 3Ghz; RAID 5; OS= wk3. On this server we have a testing S/W called a "Interlab" and mysql 4.1 and mysql database is 20 GB. we access it via web for running test cases. we have many test cases on it, each page can show 100 test cases. if i click next page for 101 - 200 test cases then it takes "18 secs". on the Task manager: 1. 1st mysql takes 25 % of cpu for 1 - 2 secs. and then Interlab.exe takes 25 % of cpu 16 - 18 secs. 2. Configuration of my laptop: Hd= 100 GB, Ram= 1GB, 2 CPUs Intel core 2 GHz; OS = xp pro with sp2.…

Here is my dilemma. I have a user to whom I do not want to give administration rights to a Windows Server 2003 Enterprise system. However, I need to give him permissions to stop, start, or restart a few, not all, services on the server. I found Subinacl which gives the permission but when the user attempts to see the service through MMC and Computer Management connecting to the server he gets "unable to open service control manager database on SERVERNAME." So I guess my question is, is there a way to allow a user to stop, start, and restart select services without having administrator role rights on the server? THANKS for all the help, -- Ken Beard MC…

Hi! I have a 3 computer LAN set up, and have an innane question.On two of the systems, when I display the network, it shows the shared files on each of the computers, while the third shows under the heading "Local Network" the shared files on itself, then under the secound heading "The Internet" it shows the other two computers shared files. I assume there must be a setting for this, and I like the way the two headings look (how anal can you get?). Things like this drive me nuts! Does anyone have any idea?? Thanks, Lee

We have a NAS with 2003 Server which has shared drive space on it. We also have other server which are not NAS with shared drive space. If we set both shares up identical with permissions we have a different result as far as document ownership. If we create a document as a user on the NAS (actually more than one NAS) in a share, the owner of the document is always the local administrator account. On the other servers it is the creator of the document which is what we want and has always been in the past. We need the creator of the document to be the owner. Any ideas why the local administrator account would always come up as the owner? I have at the top …
