Legacy Operating Systems

I have built my first T.S. and did the initial install of the applications. I did not see in any of the documentation I could find what happens to service packs. I set the server to install mode and then did the installation of the applications and then set the server back to execute mode. I want to install service packs now, some of which will do reboots, so do I go back into install mode for just the service pack or should I have done all the service packs while I was originally in install mode? What if they reboot to finish up the service pack install, will the server stay in Install mode during a reboot? How do I deal with future service packs: uni…

Hello Group! Recently my PC notified me about the recent windows update which is about the installation of the SP3 update. As I have heard in the past about the bad performance of PC with such update I am reluctant to just follow the suggestion of the windows update. I would like to know the current consensus of the group that have experience of this particular update…? Is this for the better stability of my WinXP OS or for the worst? Please help as I am in quandary regarding this manner… I don’t believe what Windows is claiming and I want a frank opinion from experienced users… Thanks in Advance! Roy

We already have our users/workstations locked down well. No CMD prompt, no registry editing, no windows explorer, local drives hidden etc... It works really well. We can't get this to translate into our 2008 ts sessions. Everything is open. Any ideas? I thought loopback was the answer but can't seem to get that working. Is there a 2008 template that needs to be loaded into the 2003 DC? Thanks in advance. Kent

When I went through the logs of one of XP workstations I noticed that it gets a lot of errors about not being able to access some group policy located in SYSVOL folder on the server. When running gpupdate the operation seems to be successful but when looking into event logs of that PC there are same errors again. What I found is that it tries to access a policy that doesn't exist on the server within the Policies folder inside SYSVOL. What is the way to fix it? Thanks yaro

I just set up TS Gateway and TS Web Access in Win2008. When I use RDC to access a PC and enable showing local disk drives, I can see both local and remote drives. When I log in to TS Web Access and click the Remote Desktop in the Bar (not the icon in the remote apps box), the disk and plug and play device icons under the options settings (where you specify the computer you want to connect to) are grayed out. When I connect to the same PC using the same login using Web Access as I do with RDC my client local drives are not mapped. All the group policies I can find that relate to it are set to Not Configured for showing local drives. How can I get the disk d…

Hi, I've got an old windows xp pc and a new windows xp pc. Is it possible to insert the harddisk of the old one in the new one as slave without reinstalling the old one and don't lose the programs (I haven't got the cd's of the program so I can't reinstall it). What I want is when the pc starts up that I got a menu to choose one of the two hardisks. Can I just plug in the old harddisk in the new pc and would it work? Thx

When I try to backup a Windows 2008 based DC, GC etc I get errors on backuping the system state. ----- Backup Exec 12 gives me (open file option either turned off or on): Backup- System?State System?StateThe item System?State\System Files\System Files in use - skipped. ----- Windows Backup gives me: Enumeration of the files failed. The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect. ----- Ok, so we have a system state problem. Are there any tools to diagnose this problem?

If I first create primary parition on basic disk, and align that partition with align=64 and format partition with 64k allocation unit size and after a while decide to convert that basic disk to Dynamic, will alignment and allocation unit remain and still be 64 for both? And if so...what happens If I decide to extend that volume will that extended volume remain with partition of align 64 and 64k unit size? Thank you.

Is there any reason not to remove the update.exe that appears in the Update folder in each of the folders in $hf_mig$? I understand the purpose of the folder, but I see no reason Update.exe needs to be there. Ditto for spuninst.exe. Update.exe is 700KB and spuninst.exe is 166KB. Since they exist in each of the 120+ folders in $hf_mig$, they account for over 100MB. Also, now that SP3 is installed, is it necessary to retain those files in $hf_mig$ that predate SP3? Thanks for the help. Duncan

Hi at all, my problem concerns about the subfolders inside ...\WinSxS\ folder, in particular the "x86_Microsoft.VC80.CRT_1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b*" folders. These folders have the runtime libraries allowing to run programs, developed with new development environment VS2005, under WindowsXP (....VC90.. for VS2008). When I install for the first time Windows XP, without any service pack, does it contain these folders? that is ..\WinSxS\ and "x86_Microsoft.VC80.CRT_1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b*" folders? (I installed a fresh copy of WindowsXP with the Service Pack 3 inside it and after the installation the ..\WinSxS\ folder has all subfolder I'm talking about) If not so do t…

This is an update to an older question, so my new question is here, and the background is below it, if that information is useful to anyone in offering advice: I uninstalled Office 2007, and now the computer refuses to recognize that Powerpoint 2003 is installed. That is, if I click on .ppt files, they don't open, and if I try to "Open With...", I can browse for the Powerpoint 2003 .exe file, and it won't open. The only way I can open .ppt files is to open Powerpoint 2003, and then open a file from within the program. Help please? Background (original question): So my computer came with XP-Pro installed, and trial versions of Office 2007. I installed Offi…

I have a user that has managed to corrupt most of their File Types in Explorer. As this effects more than one type, I was wondering if there was a way to re-set this list to their default settings (short of re-installing their OS)?

having problems with updating any software. I can access the internet without any problem but when I go to update software, ex. windows, or virus software it says it can't access and theres a problem. I even have tried to download world of war craft it starts to download then its says it can't access the port. I was playing combat arms online with no problems then one day it stopped letting me get to the log in screen, I've uninstalled and reinstalled with no luck. I've disabled firewall to make sure I wasn't getting blocked. I can't figure it out. Internet access and downloads of normal stuff no problem....can anyone help?

I don't know why but some how i'm in safe mode I can use all the featurs that arn't usable in safe mode but when i tried to remove a program i got this message The windows installer serivce could not be accessed. This can occur if your running windows in safe mode, or if the windows installer is now correctly installed.

Hi all. I've googled a lot, but I've found out various and different opinions: Is it correct to use chkdsk /F and chkdsk /F /R on a RAID 1 system and on a RAID 5 (with 3 HDs) system ? All my systems are hardware RAIDs and the servers are domain controller with w2k srv and w2k3 srv. Thanks a lot. Bye, Rosgiof.

A problem that I share with others is that the Nvidia Control panel fails to open. This was cured when I did a registry fix to enable an older "Classic Control Panel". After a second try to open the Classic version it too will not open. I now cannot change the brightness or contrast of either of my two displays as the control panel when it was working adjusted the levels beyond the display's own manual adjustment. Despite uninstalling, cleaning out old drivers and reinstalling the driver (new and old) I cannot get the Nvidia control panel to open. This is why I am wanting to know if I can "reset" the NVidia to its default through the XP registry?…

I've tried this before, but never seriously looked into it. I don't use faxing alot, and when I send them I use my Lexmark all in one (printer/scanner) which brings up it's own Wizard. Occasionally someone (my kids) will ask me if I can GET a fax. Which is when I try and set up the one that came with Win XP It says Rockwell fax/data V90 Wants to install, then a box comes up saying to put in the Win XP instal CD. Which I don't have (didn't get from Dell) I've tried to send it to what I think are the installaion files/drivers the i386 file. It says it can't find what it needs there, it's invalid path. What comes up automatically, from previous tries…

Replaced my 15" monitor with a 17" wide screen. The taskbar icons/fonts are now very small, and the font size in Help is so small as to be unreadable. I have all the 'icon size' and font size (view) cranked up as high as they will go. What to do? WinXP SP2 IE6 OE6 Hax
