Hacker locking my accounts
by Guest just bob- 19 replies
- 538 views
Microsoft wizards please help me as I am desperate. Someone continues to lock all my admin accounts. My firewall is working properly (allowing only port 53) so I think the guy is using one of the 120 PC's or another server on my network to read my user database and identify the admin accounts and send a command to lock them. We've got the latest Symantec antivirus corporate edition installed and updated on all the machines and it's supposed to identify spyware, etc. Why is it so easy for this guy to do this? I have downloaded all the high priority updates for all machines, servers and PC's. We've also used the server lockdown tool. Why doesn't this help?…

Windows Vista/Windows Server 2008: GUI Improvements Required
by Guest Axel Dahmen- 5 replies
- 243 views
Hi, Evaluating Vista/Server 2008 for migration from W2k, W2k3, XP I noticed a couple of drawbacks when using those OSs. I've compiled the problems and put them all into one issue here instead of creating separate issues for all of them. -- 1 -- : Keyboard handling: It's very straining to use Vista/Server 2008 by keyboard. It should by far be better supported, like in the previous Windows versions. Current drawbacks are: -- 1.1 -- : Common Dialog File Open/Save boxes are missing keyboard shortcuts, e.g. for creating new folders (previously <ALT>+<F>-<W>-<F>). -- 1.2 -- : Using Windows Explorer with the keyboard becomes horror: …

Windows 2008 Server, wmiprvse.exe taking up excessive CPU
by Guest Mike M- 1 reply
- 148 views
Win2008 server running in VMWare Workstation 6 with latest VMWare additions installed. Win2008 runs flawlessly in this configuration save for the wmiprvse.exe taking up 8-15% of the CPU. Turning off the Windows Management Instrumentation fixes the problem but is not ideal. Turning the WMI back on seems to "fix" the problem however the services "IP Helper" and "Windows Resource Manager" aren't automatically started when the WMI service is turned back on. Turning the IP Helper service back on has no ill effects on the CPU. But turning the Windows Resource Manager on brings the WMIPrvSe.EXE back to the top of the CPU's most used processes. Would lea…

Windows update makes server unresponsive
by Guest Ron Hinds- 1 reply
- 156 views
Has anyone else seen this? Windows Update will cause IIS, SMTP and POP3 to become unresponsive if there is a pending update (Automatic Updates set to notify only) or during an update (A.U. set to update automatically). Why does MS think that is a good idea? Since I need my web and eMail up all the time, I have to set A.U. to completely off!

connecting to the CONSOLE using mstsc command using - instead of /
by Guest Mike Bonvie- 7 replies
- 258 views
Server 2003 SP2 Hi, This one should be a no-brainer: Will the following commands do the EXACT same thing? mstsc /console mstsc -console I have some colleagues here who insists using mstsc /console & say mstsc -console is wrong. I've used mstsc -console for years and never had a problem. Yes, I have looked at the help associated with the command using mstsc /? and mstsc -? In fact, if this command didn't accept the "-" it would fail. Please help me settle this guys. Thanks

Disable Print Job Notification Balloon
by Guest Kathy Meegan- 21 replies
- 698 views
Hello, Is there a way to disable the print job notification balloon in the system tray from the print server so it doesn't have to be configured on each workstation? On the print server I have tried Start/Printers and Faxes/File/Server Properties/Advanced/Unchecked "Show informational messages for network printers" but that doesn't work even after stopping and restarting the print spooler. Can this be set up as a group policy? Can we somehow set the balloon to only appear for a few seconds instead of 15 or 20? Can the balloon be setup so it only appears if there is a problem printing? Thanks, Kathy

Hi there, Just a bit stuck on this and wondering if anyone can help me out. We are in the process of setting up another server solution in a second data centre. We are trying to joing to networks running on different IP addresses using a long reach ethernet connection between the two sites.

The company i am working with suggested setting u…

Hello everyone, I have currently several W2K8 RC but Im not quite sure when these beta versions are expiring? The last time I tracked the status of that I was aware that the period was extended from March-30 to June-30. On the "winver" option it says that it expires on April 7, why is that? Can anyone confirm the exact date? Cheers -- augusto alvarez | it pro | southworks http://staff.southworks.net/aalvarez

Hi there all, I finally was able to get my Windows Deployment Services 2008 running, took forever to figure out that if you separate step 1 from the other steps you can actually have 2 unattend files, d'oh. At any rate! I'm trying to see if there is anyway to do a few fairly simple things the 'first time' and only the 'first time' the system boots up after the Windows Deployment Server deploys Server 2008 to it. Basically I want it to Install all updates via Windows Update, remove a Specific Name Server from the IPv4 settings and clean up all of the files left over from the WDS installation. I checked the script repo and I didnt see any way to install …
