Will mainly be used for investigating / learning / upgrading certifications to Windows 2008 with AD and SQL Server 2005 / 2008 on my home network. Should I go for 64-bit or 32-bit? Have no experience with 64-bit. Does it require the double of RAM for nearly all operations? Will upgrade to 4 GB RAM by Christmas. Thanks in advance! jas

On one of my servers (W2K3) in my domain, I am recieving errors in the event log approximately every 30 to 60 minutes with an Event ID of 29 stating: The time provider NtpClient is configured to acquire time from one or more time sources, however none of the sources are currently accessible. No attempt to contact a source will be made for 15 minutes. NtpClient has no source of accurate time. From my PC I ran a w32tm/Monitor command and the results were good. My domain controllers are in sync with each other for time. I ran a w32tm/resync on my PC (for a test) and it worked (it said the command completed successfully). I ran the w32tm/resync command o…

We installed an upgrade to our XP, from a CD Rom. After installing the upgrade, when we try to run out software app, we get an "access denied user does not have permission to run this program. Please contact the network administrator." error message. If we select a file in the program folder, right click it and choose the security, some of the users have the read\readwrite boxes checked, but they are grayed out. We cannot check or uncheck any of the boxes. What would cause this? TIA

We have a dell server with Microsoft Small Business server, which is in real need of updating. I need to increase the hard drives within the server however in doing this I will have to format the existing data. This should be a major problem, however I need to back-up or make a report of all users, user permissions, user email addresses and any other info surrounding user account. Does anyone know of a tool that can do this? I will be making a Microsoft back-up however because I am changing the storage size I am a little worried that the back-up I make will not recover correctly, which in turn is why I need to find a tool to do all the above. Thanks

Hello, I'll admit my mistake first - I stupidly removed a device from a usb hub that was working fine previously - without the safe removal option - The device is an external wifi plugin on a desktop - now it refuses to work - and seemingly doesn't allow re-installing. This device - Pheenet 802.11g USB wasn't assigned a Windows digital key - but it did load up ok the first time - all the problems stem from me pulling it from the hub. Every time I re-install, all works fine for a few minutes, then an 'unsafe device removal' box appears and the wifi box and connection disappear. I have tried re-installing / fixing with the install disk / removing drivers / diff…

Have a look at your time or time zone settings. You're posting in the future.

I recently purchased a 320GB HD and a USB enclosure. I used Fdisk (in a Win98SE DOS box) to partition the drive, and I then formatted it via the GUI. Fdisk reported some strange numbers but in the end it appears that the drive's full capacity was achieved. My question is, is it OK to use Scandisk to verify this drive, or will it corrupt the file system? IIUC, internal drives have issues with Scandisk but external drives are treated differently in some way. Are there any other precautions I should be aware of? BTW, if anyone would like me to do some testing, now is the time. I suppose I could do my own experiments with Scandisk, but I thought I'd get some opi…

Hi all I have a win 2003 Server SP2 which is my domain controller and DHCP on it. From time to time someone plug in a laptop into a network point; get a IP; and can then use the internet, etc. How do i prevent someone from just plugging in the network cable and having access to my network. Except obviously reserving a IP for all the MAC adresses on my network; which will take me a year to do. Anthing i can block him from getting a IP from DHCP or maybe let he get a message to contact the system administrator.... Hope this is clear

I had my hard drive replaced last week. A dell teck helped set up the os and drivers as it was still under warranty. But now I am having problems downloading and upgrading as well as many other problems. I called dell again but that was no help. So I googled an error 1606 that I always get when I try to download java and found that it might be a registry problem. So I went to regedit and it says values not set. I don't know what that means. How would I set the values? ( If that is the problem) I am really tired of trying to talk to dell. I have XP home service pack 2. I'm sorry this is so long I'm still fairly new with a computer. Thanks for any advice…

I have a bunch of DVDs that I have burned with my digital photos. In a given folder I would have multiple file types but with the same base name (e.g. XXX_1000.tiff, XXX_1000.jpg). I already have it displayed as View > Details. But when I view a subfolder, it always displays it with View > Arrange Icon By... > Location Show in Groups and I want it to be Name Don't show in Groups How can I force it so that the above is the default view for any CD/DVD? TIA

Hello, A friend of mine had an issue with her pc. She was in the middle of a virus scan and the cat accidently stepped on the power switch of the surge protector, shutting down the pc. Ever since then windows will not start. Try to do a Norton GoBack and restore the system, but it fails. Try by-passing goback and starting windows normally, or in safe mode and I am unsuccesful everytime. It will start to boot but then eventually the pc will re-boot. We purchased a new HDD, formatted it and everything is up and running now. I re-installed the old hardrive so that i can transfer her old files onto the new HDD. I can not access it becaus ethere is no drive…
