Proper DFSR Setup?
by Guest /u/The_Great_Sephiroth- 0 replies
- 1 view
The last time I had to setup DFS was in 2003 R2 or 2008 R2, I forget which. I am now setting up a DFS for the IT staff at my new company. I went to our PDC (holds FSMO roles) and setup the DFS root. All DCs in this company (not setup by me) act like the old "Small Business Server (SBS)" from way back when. They do DHCP, DNS, AD, and host shares and sometimes software. Yes, I know it is horribly bad, but I am not allowed to change it, so let's move on. Each DC has a separate D drive (RAID5 array on most of them) and I will be using the D drive for the DFS roots and shares. On the PDC I setup the DFS root and stopped. I know I have to setup replication separately but her…

Internet Information Services (IIS) restart anyone ?
by Guest /u/Ok-You-5013- 0 replies

This is a ramble... I've had it with IIS and here's why... Microsoft has never fixed this one issue in IIS that keeps coming up randomly, even in the cloud. IIS stops working, then app pools need to be restarted and IIS ALSO needs to be restarted. This has been an issue since decades ago and Microsoft has done NOTHING to fix it, it's still there. I would advise people strongly against using Microsoft IIS for anything. I mean, if they can't ge their cloud environment running properly with it..... Yeah I have no words. I've been around long before IIS existed, I've only had problems since IIS came into my life. Being respectful here, Microsoft you should s…

Continuing questions on how to set and change File Type Associations.
by Guest DocEdBrown- 0 replies
- 2 views
As is well known (and many posts cover this) setting File Type Associations is suppose to be easy and flexible. But on Windows 10 there are many behaviors that are just baffling to me. I've researched this and tried many techniques, but I'm still unable to really solve a quandary I'm dealing with.I am running Windows 10, have been for many years. Many apps, when they are installed, either set the file associations they use, or prompt you to set them to default to that app. For example, I use Adobe Photoshop Elements. It has many image and video types it recognizes. And of course, many other ap More...

I'm getting some shuttering sound on both of my jbl bluetooth devices while connected to my laptop. Help!
by Guest Abhishek Das_545- 0 replies

For the past two weeks, I've been getting shuttering noises in my earbuds (JBL Tunebeams) while connected to my MSI Gf65 Thin. At first, I thought it was Bluetooth that was having some issues, but it is working fine with my phones. So I checked on my laptop. Every time I troubleshoot my Bluetooth, Windows fixes the Bluetooth radio status. But it's still happening after 20 or 40 minutes and again I troubleshoot Bluetooth and the same issue gets resolved. I'm pretty sure troubleshooting will fix it in one go, so why is it that the radio status gets fixed every time I troubleshoot? Is it like get More...

Hello, i am here to address my issue that started since yesterday. I'll give a little context before if it has anything to do with the issue ... so yesterday i received a sound card/mixer with a mic combo from amazon , which my dad had ordered and was eagerly waiting to connect to our pc to test out and check if it was working properly or if he is satisfied with its result. The company stated that after connecting the soundcard/mixer to the pc, it will automatically install its required drivers and we are good to go. After a bit of tinkering and testing. He was done with the checking phase of More...

So.... I had this issue after replacing the battery in my HP Spectre X360 15. I got an error message that said, battery not detected. Tried ALL the many software fixes I saw on YT. Nothing worked. Updated BIOS, uninstall/reinstall drivers, Windows update, remove/clean and reinstall battery, etc. NADA! It occurred to me that the only thing I didn't try was flipping the connector from the battery upside down. I thought, what the hell! Flipped it over, plugged it in and, VIOLA! Battery detected! Now let's see if it charges up! Stay tuned! More...
