I have a problem with SP3 involving the Link-Layer Topology Discovery (LLTD) Responder. With SP2 this was installed by downloading a hot fix KB922120. When I applied SP3 everything worked normally. But on one system I reinstalled XP SP2 and applied SP3 without KB922120 (since it is suppose to be contained in SP3) and I can not find the LLTD. Does anyone konw how to enable this? This enables the XP machine to appear on the network map of a Vista system. Thanks. -- Paul

Re: Restore default policies System Restore to when it was correct? With the caveat that it will roll back everything to that point in time, obviously. Or, you could just temporarily roll back, and note the settings, and then undo it and apply those settings afterwards. > Tyler Durden wrote: >> What is the fastest method to restore default gpedit.msc and secpol.msc >> settings? >> >> Thanks.

Setting up first TS Server - Have I Done it right?
by Guest Chavvy- 7 replies

Guys, I have set up my first 2003 Terminal Server for a friend using TS user cals. This is a single server/domain and I had a few issues with remote sessions being able to connect. This turned out to be default security settings for the DC which I have now resolved. When I purchased the CALS I was told that these had to be installed against named AD users. After setting up the licence service and installing the cals throught internet/Microsoft, I can see no way of doing this. The licence server shows the 5 cals installed though and the installation was pretty smooth. What is worrying me is that the licences in use count does not go down as connections …

I have some time on my hands in addition to an older system and some other things. I want to build a router that will also act as a server/firewall among other things. I am thinking of building an XP system and configuring ICS or Internet Connection Sharing. This will require two LAN adaptors, one of which will be connected directly to my cable modem (WAN) and the other will have a hub connected to it for my LAN. On this machine, I want to: 1. connect a printer to share to my LAN, and 2. connect some external USB disk drives for file sharing on the LAN. 3. install anti-virus software and not have to run it on my other systems. 4. configure this appli…

by Guest Patrick- 5 replies

We just install our first Windows 2008 Server. We find that when we use RDP to access it, it works as remote access (we haven't used /admin option). From the web, we learn that Windows 2008 supports 2 active session if TS is not installed. If it is true, we wonder why RDP session is a Console Session. Your advice is sought.

Is Offline Files the best option?
by Guest Ed from AZ- 7 replies
- 342 views
Management has decided we need to keep all our files on the server. Not a problem - except when the server is "unavailable" and we can't do anything! Is "Offline Files" the best option for making Word and Excel files available for editing when the server goes out so they can be updated when it comes back? What happens to the stability of the file if more than one user makes edits to the copy on their machine? Ed

Two of our machines cannot access the network resources, nothing was ever said to me and I don't usually check these two computer as they actually control our Atmosphere Environment and hardly get used. The backup of the data on these machiens gets pulled from the SBS2003 server itself - using copy commands. I have removed Symantec AV and PC Anywhere and am in the process of doing all Windows updates. The machines do have SP4 installed.

Reinstalling Windows XP Pro after upgrades
by Guest Ed Wood- 6 replies

I have a June 2006 Windows XP Pro (WXPP) with SP2 Version 2002 SP3 build 2600 installed on my system. Somehow I picked up some viruses, which took me about 2 weeks to remove using AVG Internet Security V8, Spybot SD ver. 1.6.0, Malwarebytes v. 1.28, and RemoveIt Pro Enterprise v.4. I am not sure that they are totally removed yet, but I am trusting my antivirus/spyware/malware programs to catch them on future scans. There are still some corrupted WXPP files that need to be replaced. When I insert my WXPP disk in my drive, I get the following message: "Setup cannot continue because the version of Windows on your computer is newer than the version on the C…

Regarding the event viewer application log.
by Guest talgam- 2 replies

I have received a red X on the left hand pane of the Application log in the event viewer. It won't display the application log on the right. I am not allowed to do a destructive restore because extra programs that were installed, we installed by a third party and he doesn't have contact with them. He does not have a Windows CD because it has the recovery sector on the hard drive. Is there any way that this problem can be fixed. I have not come across this problem before and I can use all the help I can get on this problem.
