Windows IT Pro Trade shows are like a Forrest Gumpism—they are what you make of them. From my arguably unique perspective this year, it's been an interesting mix of pre-briefings, a reviewer workshop, a pre-conference speaking engagement/panel discussion, keynotes, several one-on-one meetings, some nice reunions with friends from around the world, and then even a few sessions, too. ...

Hi, I am running a Windows Server 2008 R2 server with Terminal Services. I would like to make our accounting software available to a client of ours, but I would like to restrict access to the server for this client so that they can only see the Accounting Software. They should not have access to folders and data other than what the accounting software is using. Is there a way of locking the server down for a group of users and only giving them access to one application? Any pointer in the right direction will be much appreciated. Thanks! Jacques

How do I use the dump to find out exact cause of the dump. I tried loading all the pd…

Good Afternoon, I recently installed Windows Server 2008 R2 with AD DS and DNS - since I installed these roles however the internet is really laggy for me - downloads time out, websites time out very very frequently, and when I did ping tests, even those would randomly time out. I'm not sure why or where the hang up is but it makes it very difficult to navigate or get anything done so I'd like to find a resolution to this as soon as possible. I'm fairly new to Windows Server 2008 so I'm not sure what information is needed so let me know whats needed to help troubleshoot this and I'll provide it within minutes. Thanks and I hope to find a resolution soon - I'll br…

Paul Thurrott's Supersite for Windows There's a convenient story that Microsoft's antitrust woes in the United States--and then again later in Europe--were responsible for a lost decade in which the software giant abandoned its drive, its aggression, and its position of dominance over the tech industry, ceding the way for faster, smarter competitors like Apple and Google. Like other conspiracy theories, however, this story is almost complete baloney. It's a myth. ... View the full article
