Legacy Operating Systems

We want to give a user access to a server via Remote Desktop and only give them access to a single program. This works perfectly fine, howerver when the user (or us as Administrators) close the program, the program closes but their is no way to exist out of the session unless you disconnect. By no way I mean the screen is just blue, looks like explorer.exe didnt start or something. This seems to be common behaviour across many of our servers. Why is this and can we have it so when the program closes we can just go to the remote desktop sessions desktop?

Hi, I would like to ask a question, who did RDP to my Windows xp last time? my system is in domain (Windows 2003), and some one Remote destop to my system and deleted several files. currently auditing is not configured. thanks

Hi, I've run into a problem with file sharing between my laptop and my desktop. It used to work perfectly. What I do is connect the two computers through a cross over cable. I connect from the desktop to the laptop by typing the ip adress in the file manage box. so something like \\192.xxx.xxx.xxx\d$. This used to bring up a login box (laptop is part of the company network). After this I had access to all the files on the d-drive. Now however it doesn't work anymore. I can still do a ping and that works, I can even start a remote desktop connection and that works too. But a simple filesharing connection is not possible. I don't know if it matters bu…

Hi, Over the last few weeks the system (Dell PowerEdge SC440 Windows Server 2003 for small business server- out of warranty by 3 months!) has started to freeze. The screen freezes with no mouse movement or keyboard input registered. It started just every few days then sometimes twice a day then every few days then once a day and today every 10 minutes or so. I have changed the RAM (After the Health Monitor showed an error with the RAM) and also the LAN card (there wasn't any errors but I thought I should try it) but although they seemed to make a difference it was a red herring and now it is as bad as ever. There are no errors in the log files except …

Gurus, What is your position on remotely installing software via RDP/Terminal Services? In other words, sitting at your desk somewhere, logging into a remote server using the Remote Desktop protocol, and installing software. I believe ""shadow key corruption" could occur in this manner and advise against it. I am looking for other thoughts however. -- Spin

Well after reading the KB article about problems with repeatedly installing the same update (and finding it unhelpful), sending a mail to MS customer support (and getting back a blank response and a link to the KB, not even to an article, just generally to the support webside which is an insult) I come here hoping someone has an answer. Security Update for SQL Server 2005 Service Pack 2 (KB948109) Well it's been installed about 6 times now. 4 times through automatic updates, 2 times through the updates website and each time has suceeded. However, it still isnt registering that it is installed and still wants it. I suspect the downloaded file may b…

After initial boot of the server (factory install) the server was joined to the 2003 AD domain. Prior to rebooting I noticed that I was unable to make any configuration changes to the Firewall i.e. add exceptions. Upon rebooting the firewall service was not running and when I tried to restart it, received a message saying that one of it's dependant services (BFE) was not started. Starting the BFE resulted in an error 5: Access is denied. This occurred in both local and domain admin accounts. Moving the server to a seperate OU that denies all GPOs resulted in the same issues as did a gpupdate/reboot. Setting BFE to run as the domain admin resulted in …

I've looked up and followed all the directions I could find on this topic, but I'm still having problems. I simply want to add a select group of users, primarily consultants, to the local administrators group - this allows them to fiddle with their software, but I want their server access to be restricted. I created a domain group, added them to it, then added this group to Restricted Groups and then added "Administrators" to "this group is a member of". I also tried it by adding users to the upper section. In the main, it worked, however it kept adding either the group or users that I had added to the Restricted Groups, into the domain administrators…

Hi, I had to reinstall WinXp-home due to technical problems. After reinstalling, I cannot access the voice playback (control panel>sound&voice>voice tab, test sound etc..), all the options in most of the tabs shaded gray i.e. cannot be activated! Onboard audi is enabled and is working. When I try to play any music, sound etc. I get the message - " Cannot not locate Dpvsetup.exe file, use install/uninstall to load the file"! I looked up Mcrosoft Knowledgebase - and an acticle advises "to move the hardware acceleration bar to full" and then adjust the registry. But there is noway I can access the hardware acceleration as every option is "grayed…

For awhile now I have been playing World of Warcraft and haven't had any problems. Recently however I have been freezing up or rebooting out of nowhere. I was wondering if anyone has had this problem as well and what the potential cure for this is.

Hello, I have created AD accounts for some services running on multiple servers. I would like to secure those accounts by making it so that the service account could not be used to login to a system locally (i.e. at the console). In RedHat I can accomplish this by giving the account the /sbin/nologin shell as their default shell. How do I accomplish the same in Windows. Thank you, Bill

In Windows Explorer, when I right click the mouse, a menu comes up that has been modified by several applications that I added. How do I add to or edit this menu? TIA

Dear all, I have a problem while I installed .NET 3.5 on Microsoft Windows Server 2000 and I have got the error message as below: The procedure entry point HeapSetInformation could not be located in the dynamic link library KERNEL32.dll. Is that because of Microsoft .NET 3.5 does not support in Microsoft Windows 2000? Is there any ways in order to make it works? Could you please help me about this? I look forward to hearing from you. Thanks in advance. Yours sincerely, Susan

Hello. I can disabled / delete the Recycler bin on USB-Harddisk, But windows XP sp2 always creates a Recycler if i un-plug / plug the USB-Harddisk. Is there a way to tell windows not to recreate the Recycler on USB-Harddisk? thanks.

Daughter's PC, XP/SP2, Media Player won't start, missing DLL. No internet connection so cannot update to a newer version. Is there a standalone download for WMP 11 which will install without that connection or alternatively how can I fix WMP 9, perhaps from XP CD? -- Kenny Cargill

Having this trouble again, but link to old post expired/post no longer found. I have a duplicate Outlook icon that keeps reappearing after I delete it. It is the all too familiar /recycle icon that Windows loves to toss out about once every five reboots. Please help (again - sorry!)! BW

Upon right-clicking on a drive in "My Computer" and selecting Properties, we are presented with a box with four tabs..."General" "Tools" "Hardware" and "Security". In the Tools tab, we have the option to check the disk for errors. I do this about once a month. In the check disk options, I do not select anything and then hit Start. It only takes a few minutes and then a dialogue box pops up simply indicating the the task is completed. Does this mean there were no errors found? I find no way of viewing a report.
