W32time - encrypted request to NTP server?
by Guest BertieBigBollox@gmail.com- 1 reply
- 270 views
Is this supported or possible in Windows 2000? I've managed to edit the registry to point at my local NTP server and this works fine. The NTP host supports MD5 authentication and, ideally, I'd like the Windows 2000 client to use this when requesting from the NTP server.

winsxs folder?
by Guest Blithe- 3 replies
- 358 views
Re: W2K Pro (SP4) - can I delete the winsxs folder My WINNT folder tree contains a 'winsxs' folder that's 8.8MB & created Sept. 2007. I found it doing some cleanup. Some Google searches indicate that winsxs has some relevance to WinXP and Vista functions only - & as a dll file backup. Other Google hits refer to developmental project functions. Many Google hits represent inquiries like this one but no threads seem to offer solutions. Most references to winsxs seem too technical to be intended for the average home user regardless of such user's expertise. I found no relevant references on the Microsoft Knowledge base. I am very curious how this a…

CDO.dll version 6.0.6603.0
by Guest maitakeboy- 0 replies

I am having an issue with my Blackberry users. When they enter an appointment in their BB, it shows up in Outlook with the Start Time an hour later than what they created and what shows on the BB. I successfully installed all the DST2007 patches back in March 2007 and had no issues. However, I had an issue with my Exchange 2000 server 3 weeks ago, and it was solved by applying the latest Exchange SP3 update rollup, KB870540, which set my cdo.dll at version 6.0.6603.0. I applied this patch to my BB server too, since it had the Exchange System Manager. This seems to be when users started noticing the issue of the calendar appointments with mismatched start t…

In other words you couldn't delete it until you logged off and back or or until you rebooted the machine? Something must have had an open handle on the folder.

Hello! I turned on an old Dell machine yesterday, using Windows 2000 SP4. I noticed that it was an hour behind. Did I miss an update from MS to fix this time zone issue since I am in pacific time zone? Or did MS never release one like for XP? It should had changed automatically as of last Sunday.

PartitionMagic A.K.A. PartitionTragic
by Guest george-p- 6 replies

I had the very bad idea to install two OS's with the help of PartitionMagic on my Windows 2000. I copied my data to a 200GB SATA disk and partitioned the original 80GB disk SATA 2 x 40GB. After installing W2000 the nightmare started. I only have one OS installed (Windows 2000 Professional), however while booting it ask to select 1. Windows 2000 Professional and 2. Windows 2000 Professional!! Yes twice! Besides W2000 is terribly slow. I tried to delete the 80GB partitions and start all over again, but it doesn´t work. Still the PartitionMagic stuff remains in the disk. Still asks to select between W2K Pro and W2K Pro and the computer is slow as…
