We are using an Internet Transaction Server (ITS) for Web Ordering. Our logic (SAP) builds a PDF file and gives it a URL src. However, it only freezes the screen. If I try to copy the url into a web browser I get the HTTP 404 message. We use ITS as a platform for this processing.

Hi Group, we have computres working under Windows XP with dual sreen setup at a resolution of 2560x1024. Creating a button or label in Excel 2003 looks OK. But when connecting to that computer via mstsc (RDP 6) with same resolution the font on the button or label get messed up. It changes to a fairly large font with a negativ letterspacing and is so unreadable. Same thiing happens when connecting to a TS with that resolution or even with a dualscreen setup at 2048x768. Anyone seen this before? The computers are fully patched and use rdp 6. Regards Stefan

After an sfc scan reports corrupted system files that it can't fix, the CBS log shows nothing except a lot of windows\system32 folders with duplicate ownership.

I've searched around it seems W2K Server has issues with its DNS cache. I have two W2K servers running AD + DNS/DHCP/WINS. They will occasionally stop resolving external DNS queries, this does not seem load related, but I could be wrong. They do not stop at the same time, and one server may stop more than the other. What stops is the ability to resolve internet names, even if they are in the cache. Resolving for internal resources continues to work fine while resolving for external names fails. The outage may last from a few seconds to a few minutes. While the outage is occuring, I can be right on the DNS server and do nslookups for something on the outside an…
