Machine is part of domain. We are testing a application with an old license key. We attempt to change the time backwards, but it revert back to today's time. Windows 2003 can do that, why not 2008 ?

Using scannow questions
by Guest Carrie- 2 replies
- 181 views
In my looking around online today, I came across instructions for using sfc/scannow to check Windows files. I thought I'd try it, so printed out the directions. First, it wouldn't open using RUN and putting in sfc/scannow (said it couldn't find the path to it) I'd dabbled in dos a bit with WIN 98 but didn't think XP was the same, and had never tried it. I put comd.prompt in RUN and to my amazement a black dos box came up I put sfc/scannow in, it started then a box came up saying to put in the WIN XP installation disc. I never got one of those with my Dell XPS 400. It said the files are built in and can be restored that way without a disk. In the directions a…

My company is cutting cost. We want to setup a dial-up server. We have a maximum of 5 concurrent users. If I install 5 internal modems on Windows 2003 server, will 5 users be able to dial in at the same time? Do I need 5 different phone numbers or one phone number? Do I configure RAS on Windows 2003 server? Do you have any suggestions? Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Zune software -Cannot create PLAYLIST, Invalid Playlist name.
by Guest FirstTranshuman- 1 reply
- 145 views
The Zune software will not let me create or rename any playlist. Regardless of what the name is, "bob" for example, the software tells me it's an invalid playlist name and to try something else. I uninstalled and then reinstalled the software but the outcome was the same. I just installed the Zune 3.0 update but a saw on a blog that someone else experienced the same problem last Christmas so I doubt the update is the specific issue. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I am having to install XP for about the 5th time in a couple of months. The last install I was installing the 'patches' and 'updates' and after each reboot XP would continually crash. So this time I'm going to install XP SP1a then SP2 off the CD. Then anti virus and firewall then do a virus scan. Looks like I'm going to have to go back to XP on 2 drives! Thanks, J.

by Guest Al- 9 replies

ok now this seems pretty simple but it doesn't work!! In ADU&C, I can select an AD user, properties, profile and enter a home folder. Z: \\SERVERNAME\HOME$\%USERNAME% Now on the shared server I created a share directory named HOME, then shared named home$, in there I created the users home folder. user boots up his/her XP Pro which is on the domain and can see his/her home folder but can't freaken create or drop any folders/documents in there. User gets: access denied, you need proper permissions on the folder. User has full control on their folder! Tried everything with permissions and google. Still can't get it to work.

only one Default printer
by Guest TR- 2 replies

Hi all, I am running a TS2003 w/SP2. I have many remote users who log in from home that have multiple printers connected to their home machines. I would like to only have their default printer map to the session. Is this possible? I have noticed that multiples printers per user per session get mapped and then do not get deleted on exit. This is slowing down the logoff process considerably. Thanks TR

I would like to ask two questions. I had to do a reinstall of windows xp. About two years some one helped me get rid of the windows splash screen.

ShellNew Menu problems?
by Guest thefirstM- 0 replies

I have a problem with Windows XP x64 where if I access the ShellNew menu from a 32-bit application, it shows only Shortcut and Folder. If I try to access it again, it then displays the full menu. If I then attempt to access the same menu from a 64-bit application, the same issue occurs. Does this occur for everyone using XP x64? Is there any way to fix it? Thanks.
