Tech Help and Discussions

I'm trying to setup up two nic cards. One on the PCI slot and one Motherboard. I wanted to connect the PCI one to router one "IP as follows: 192.168.1.150" and the Motherboard one to router one "IP as follows: 192.168.2.150" Therefore I need some help getting this to work if possible.

SQL Server 2008 Some DBF Tables (not larger than 500MB) We noticed after restar that SQL grows up till 20 GB.. this is ok we set this option in SQL After some time.. lets say une day. we see the SO is out of memory.

Hello everyone. Let me start off by saying that this is my first time posting here and that I am VERY new to Windows Server 2008. I apologize if this topic has already been discussed, but I searched every where for it but was unable to find the thread if it does exit. I wound up as the administrator for Windows Server 2008 Terminal Server at work, and have run into a strange problem that I have been unable to solve. Here is the issue: I need to add a few URL's to the "Trusted Sites" zone of IE across all users. I found a setting in Group Policy called "Site to Zone Assignment List" where I assign certain sites to each zone, which I did. The thing is, it seems t…

I am developing an app in a Windows XP machine which modifies an XML file if certain conditions are met. It works fine in my development PC. Now, I installed such an app in a Windows Server 2008 machine and its behavior is different as follows: if the XML files does not exist then a new one is created, if the XML file already exists then it remains the same. I use the XmlTextWriter class to generate a new file (with the same name). I am sure this is an issue with the file permits but I am not an expert in Windows Server 2008 but a software developer. I will very much appreciate any help. Respectfully, Jorge Maldonado

Then everything screw up, all the user now can use removable disk. i tried to put back everything like before, restarting client and server, put again 'authenthicated user' back, but still this policy has not effect anymore. please help how to fix this. thank you.

I bought a refurbished DELL PowerEdge 2950 and installed Windows Server 2008 Standard 64 bits. I am trying to update the video drivers so I downloaded them from "DELL Dirvers and Downloads". I run the executable that would make the update but I get a message saying that "The configuration will only work in Administrator mode". I am logging on as Administrator. I also tried right clicking the setup.exe and selected "Run as administrator". What is going on? Respectfully, Jorge Maldonado

I have always assigned letters (E:, F:, G:, etc) to volumes but I know that they can also be mounted to empty NTFS folders. I assume that one advantage about this last approach is to save letters and use them when necessary. Is there any disadvantage in mounting a volume to a NTFS folder instead of assignig a letter to it? Why should I or should I not use this approach? Respectfully, Jorge Maldonado
