Quote: What do you mean by "support RAID 5"? If you are on about a software solution then you'd be crazy. There is no way in hell I'd trust a software RAID solution to keep an eye on any of the servers that I run - it has to be a hardware solution all the way. I expect this is why MS (Oh saying m$...why?) only have software support for RAID 1. Windows 2000 of course supports any RAID array configuration you like so long as you've got the hardware to go with it. We run a hardware RAID 5 solution (Some IDE, some SCSI) on all of our Windows 2000 servers.. Not true. Windows nt 4/windows2000/windows 2003 server all support Raid 5 via software, 2000 and 2003 server suport it on any dynamic disks, no special hardware needed. And 200 pro and XP pro support only Raid 0 (WEAK!) I see no reason not to trust my data with MS software raid. Hardware raid is controlled by software after all (just the built in software on the raid card......) Software raid just eats up more cpu is all, but does not require expensive raid card. My point was, Server 2003 is broken up even more than 2000 server was, and it would not surprise me if the standard server won't suport raid 5 but the enterprise will. Iam also squaking that Windows 2000/xp pro don't do raid 1. It's ridiculous. My popi

Don't forget "Captuing DV" is not really capturing at all, jus transferring data. Moving DV data to the pc has NOTHING on actual analog video capture. HT will be of no benefit to DV "capture" as very little CPU is needed. Editing the DV stream however will benefit from it.

i was a beta tester for the original windows port of virtual PC, and I've been using it ever since. beta testers got it for half price, $99.00. (currently on 5.2.) I just saw microsoft is offering to all licensed virtual pc 4 and 5 users to get a FREE CD of MS virtual pc 2004; the coupon must be printed off and mailed away by March to qualify. Getting this free upgrade CD costs a mere $14.00. (This is not a joke, the free upgrade costs $14.00.) no download link or online submission form, just a microsoft word format document to print off and snail mail....... I was not happy when Microsoft acquired Connectix I must say. Back to the point, it's fantastic. I absolutely love it. It's become somewhat of a "must have" for me, I'd feel naked without it. Messing with servers , alternative OSes, and legacy applicaitons/games, all in multiple windows simultaneously, is glorious. Magic the Gathering, Duels of the Planeswalkers, does not work in windows 2000 (at least not for me) and for this one game the program was worth the price. I would think any programmer would get alot of good use out of it too, testing their programs in different native environments. Even more so, Web designers should be al over this, they can have a different version of IE loaded in many vpc's, with the different verison sof windows. And of course, my machine is plenty fast enough to drive these extra OSes. What I hope for now is SMP support for the main app, 5.2 and lower I know runs on one CPU. I was squaking for SMP support all through the beta test period, but they weren't on the ball on this one. (And you can't run it twice, too bad truly.) I hope microsoft will add SMP support anyways seems liek a crime to me a program of this nature hasn't been. (I don't care if the guests have one CPU, I want the APP to grab all the cpu it can.) I've not tried VMWare, however in the forum at the time VPC was having much greater success with old games than VMWare.

This is a sweet motherboard. I've been using the same board for a few years now. It is currently a dedicated video capture/compression/multimedia PC attached to my Television. (I run it with dual 800's, not worht the $$ to get the 1 gig. Do know, this board supports p3's up to 1 gig, ad not tualitin, so if you buy this board, get the cpu's withit as well, then you are done.

Sysprep will force you to activate again, which will fail on your machines. The license for XP also says in the EULA that you must activate, or you do not have a license to use windows. (Unless you have a volume license, in which case you will be able to order a volume 9 corp) The only way to get away with doing this would be to call microsoft as each machine comes online and explain why the hardware keeps changing. AFAIK there is nothing wrong with using any valid key over and over on many machines via ghosting as long as you own enough of the same product. The activation however throws a huge monkey wrench into the mix. It's also quite a hassle when peopple are buying machines from OEM's with normal windows preinstalled....... this activation crap is not a good trend for us consumers.

L33T!

Yes! Download "partimage. Linux boot iso that only does this function.

As long as you have coppermine support, then you will probably be OK. Best solution is get a celeron coppermine, or a p3 that has a 100 Mhz bus. these chips will work perfectly. The 133 Mhz bus coppermine P3's are a risk because the 133 bus is not supported.. Don't worry about the multiplier, set it to the highest you can. they r clock locked and will work at the right multiplier even if set lower. (I ran my coppermine celeron 600 Mhz with multiplier of 9 on bx board without issue, just set the jumper for 6x.

Try netbeui.

Try this. Delete their machine account, then have them leave and ejoin the domain.

i am getitng this EXACT error with my new rig. Abit NF7 with nforce 2 chipset. http://www.videocard-forum.com/ati/windows_2000_server_and_radeon_153571.html Once any ati driver is loaded (8500LE radeon) I logon and the logon box goes away and comes back again and again, eventually i get in but no exe's will run whatsoever. I am imaging between dirver tests so far cat 3.2, 3.7, 3.10 all doing it. It's enraging me. Windows 2000 server with SP4 DX 9b, newest nforce drivers from a 2 weeks ago. 1 hard drive one burner, 512 ram @333, barton 2500+ @ 333, nothing else in the machine. bios settings all set to safe and or default, no overclockage anywhere.

Fixed. It is ATI drivers coupled with another thing. I will splain. There was a system tweak to "enable large system cache" i first saw it in xsetup. It makes a pro workstation use the large system cache that server uses. Well since I installed server, it is enabled by default (its not a tweak for server it is default) With this setting it caused this problem. When I launched xsetup and disabled it (making my server have a small pro type system cache it fixed.

My people had a borrowed copy of wordperfeft which is now gone, machine died, money is tight, licenses are now enforced so more unlicensed software. MS office is fully licensed, many Wordperfect documents exist. Is there a cheap or free way to batch convert the wpd to msword doc? Or is theree a ms office utility to do them all in one shot? One that will convert it and make them filename.doc from filename.wpd ? Opening and converting them one at a time will work, but will take much too long.

The source files would be retained in case of a major flamigo-up. (A flamingo up is just like a cockup only much much bigger) This would result in the best use of time, opening and converting a wpd manualy only when the original is ruined, yet most will more than likely be OK.

Just a thought. Make sure remote registry service is running via services tab. i ran into similar issue trying to anage IIS with remote reg disabled.

Here is the scoop. XP pro, user is in local admin group and normal user in the domain. Username is "FRED" Logon script makes U: the fileshare for users. U:\fred is where fred keeps his files. In U:\FRED\My documents there seems to be synched date of sorts. The local my documents folder points to c:\documents and settings\fred.domain\my documents\ . Now today in U:\fred\ My documents has renamed itself to "Administrator's documents" I rename to "My documents" and it immediately in front of my eyes becomes "Administrator's documents" In this folder used to be "My pictures" Which is now renamed to "Administrator's pictures" All of fred's data is still intact however. I rename U:\fred\Administrator's documents\ back to U:\fred\My documents\ on the server this time, and it accepts the change. Note that I have logged onto this machine as both administrator and domain\administrator at different times for maintenance. Other users seem unaffected by this quandry. Also, "Fred" says it just happened today; it wasn't like this this morning. Also today there was no software changes anywhere in the building. Whatup? Is there something I am missing? Machine is XP pro with Office XP and pretty much nothing else.

The user is domain\Fred . it is not a local account. It is in the local admin group of the machine however. Local administrator has not and does not access u:\fred As for caching, its a default install of xp, with office XP defaulted t0o.

Quote: Might very well be... but, I do see some NASTY ones on the job that operate like this as well, & make systems turn into email spam sending engines. true that, however, these email spaming zomie engines do not forge the email from: the infected machine. All they do is install an open relay SMTP server. The sender(s) of the spam still send from: whoever@whatever.com. The point being, the location and identity of the infected SMTP zombie has nothing to do with the from file from an email! Spammers post san for smtp servers and send through them, or the SMTP zombies announce themselves on irc secret chans. (However I said 99.999% because the rogue server COULD harvest the email address from its victoms machine, but it is unlikely. This draws unwanted attention to the smtp zombie. They don't want the host finding out its infected for as long as possible, and getting bounced emails raises flags.

Can any of you think of a way, to rename all the files in a folder to each have a random filename? I am compiling DVD's of episodes I have, and I want to batch rename them all to ave random names. This way, when i drag them into my DVD-authoring software, the episode order will automatically be random(for playback) and I would have to go through them and randomise manually.

Popups are most often opened with javascript, so make sure that is working. Remember though, you gotta add a feature to disable it because some sites require the popup to go through. )If it does have this feature then ignore, I have not tried it yet) Google toolbar popup stopper does this: When you press ctrl then click the popups are allowed. Without this feature it can break websites and then it'll have to be unloaded which would be a pain. If you wanna make it really l33t? Add a domain filter user configurable, if domain = www.goatlove.com, for example, is added to config, then popups there are always allowed.

This is so simple. It is I would say 99.99999% not a virus or spyware. it's just spoofed email. Email has NO security built into it. Any and every email program can sens as billgates@microsoft.com from any and every smtp server. A spammer is sending and typing youe email address in the send field. Nthing can be done about this except a revised mail protocol. What I see comng is everyone will have to register their email with their ISP, and the SMTP server will reject any from emails that are not on the list. (This will have to be one part of the solution) It will be a separate smtp server but will run on the same server during transition. This way legacy email suport will still function while people adopt the new secure method.

Quote: Maybe I'm oversimplifying this a little, but why don't you just get a cheap hub or switch and connect it to one of the ports on the dsl router? That wouldn't be any fun!

By deault, probably not. you should be able to configure logging however. Look in knowledge base or help files for how to enable logging for this action.

If you run rip on the netgear and the 2k server, it should work. The 2000 box will need 2 static ip one for each nic, and the 2k box must also do the dhcp duties. As fo gettnig rip working on 2k box, at the moment I'm not sure how to do it, I never have. Check knowledge base for configuring rip. If the netgear supports rip then i don't see a problem overall. Most lan games still won't work though from this one pc. Most games broadcast locally and if not on the same segment then it won't show up and requires cd key authetication with master servers.

You will not be able to directly route between the dsl router and the 2K server because the router (probably) won't suport RIP and you won't be able to edit it's route tables so that's a double whammy there. This is a job for internet connection sharing. You must set everything static for this. If router is 192.168.0.1 then: Change it to 10.0.0.1 and disable its DHCP server On all clients attached to DSL router box set to 10.0.0.3, 10.0.0.4, 10.0.0.5, with DNS of 10.0.0.1 and default gateway of 10.0.0.1. Set the server IP attached to the dsl box to 10.0.0.2, same gateway and dns as above. Goto advanced TCPIP properties of the server network connection that is attached to the dsl router and enable internet conection sharing. The server nic attached to the crossover cable at this point will get assigned an address of 192.168.0.1, that's a good thing. This new machine will grab an address of 192.168.0.x from your windows 2000 server and have internet access. Feel free however to assign it an ip address of your choice, with DNS of 192.168.0.1 and gateway of 192.168.0.1. This will work for having internet. If you want to browse fileshares you will orobably need to edit your hosts file, or just map right to IP. For example, on the new machine now \\10.0.0.3\mp3s would get you to an mp3 share on one of the other machines. Trying to connect by name will fail unless you edit hosts or make your own DNS server. Anotehr downside: langames won't automatically show up for this new machine, you will need to enter ip directly. The new machine will be able to access resource pretty much flawlessly, but it will not be able to serve resources, such as sharing folder. it will only be able to pull from other shares and join the other games that are served. Hope this helps.
