Hi, I was going thru my event view for my SBS 2003. I was in the security tab and I noticed that NT Authority\System was logging in at unusual hours. What is NT Authority\System? Does it do regular logons to the client PC's on my network for some type of test or something? Please advise. Thanks, Steve -- Steve Systems Administrator PSI

If I try to bring my pc into hibernation I get a blue screen with a DRIVER_IRLQ_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL error and a STOP: 0x000000D1. It’s an old 3 GHZ P4, with 1 GB RAM, running XP SP2, kept up to date. I searched thoroughly the KB and tried various things of what is suggested, but with no result. 1) As most problems with hibernation/standby should be caused by hw incompatibilities, I first suspected of my modem, which was the oldest component, taken from an older pc. But today I tried with a more recent device and the problem has not changed. 2) In the KB is referred of a similar problem caused by Logitech mouse, I thus tried to uninstall and reinstall the re…

I have an HP laptop with XP Home and SP2. When attaching new devices via a USB port, I keep getting a message 'Cannot install this hardware - USB Device - The data is invalid'. This happens with my mobile phones and with a new Garmin Sat Nav system I have just bought. I have tried restoring my system to an earlier time but as this has happened for some time, I dont know what date this problem started happening. Also I have installed quite a bit of software in the last month and dont want to have to reinstall it all again. I have read Microsoft's article 810882 on this subject and have followed their instructions.....but having gone through all the d…

I just installed a new program (specifically Kodak EasyShare for my new digital camera). Now, when I reboot my computer, that program automatically starts up and runs in the background. I can shut it down and then start it when I need it, but I'd rather it didn't start up in the first place. How do you handle this. PS: I think this is computering 101, but I can't figure it out, and I've tried many different things:-) -- Jim

I've had XP Pro on one computer for 2-3 years now, but have acquired two additional PC that I've put W2K on. Is the license for XP Pro for a single computer, or can one put it on additional computers? -- Wayne Watson (Nevada City, CA) Web Page: <speckledwithStars.net>

When I boot partition D then open the disk utility that comes with Wxp, I see that partition C is the System Partition and partition D is the BOOT partition. What should I do so that partition D is both the System Partition and the Boot Partition?

I have the problem described in this knowledge base article: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/913788. I can't seem to find the hotfix that the document refers to and it seems that I have to pay for it. Is this right?

I am running Exchange 2003 (Version: 6.5.7638.1) Here is my situation. I had someone leave (Bill) and then Kyle replaced that person. Bill's email has lots of mail in the mail box that pertains to the position and he also has another email box associated with his account. What I want to do is just use Bill's AD profile and Email but change it to Kyle and set up the other email box in the new profile. What is the best way to do this? just change active directory and hope it changes the email too? Create Kyle in AD and create and email box then copy all the info from Bill's to Kyle's mail box? Is there a better solution that I don't even know about Than…

I want to give some users access to AD user and computers on their PC's for them to administer a specific OU. I want them to unlock accounts for users under this specific OU. I have setup a msc file which gives them access to the OU by restricting access by giving them limited access to a single window. I have delegated control on the OU as well so that they can unlock accounts only. I copied the msc file onto their PC's but when they open the file it says cannot open file. I dont want to install the adminpak.msi as this will give them access to all other AD tools even though they dont have permissions. But I do not want them to see the tools. I…

Hi, Is there any way of using Windows Server Update Services (WSUS) to ensure that client PCs have a minimum install of Internet Explorer, such as 5.50.4134.0600? Several PCs on my network have an older version of IE than this, and it's starting to cause problems... Alternatively, is there any way of downloading an IE setup file onto my server, so that I can update IE on these PCs over the network, and without having to connect these PCs to the internet? (This will also cause problems...) Whilst investigating this problem, I have also discovered that some PCs on the network aren't listed in WSUS - and presumably aren't getting Windows Updates. Doe…
