I'm trying to nail down exactly how many concurrent web connections (incoming) can be hosted by an XP 64-bit box. I've been told 10 but can't find crap sifting thru MS.com. Any help is appreciated.

I try to update. All goes fine until important preliminary updates begin to install then I get: "Some updates were not installed The following updates were not installed: Update for Background Intelligent Transfer Service (BITS) 2.0 and WinHTTP 5.1 (KB842773) Microsoft Windows Installer 3.1" This is an IBM ThinkPad Laptop that hasn't been used for a while...otherwise the Win2K seems to work well. How can I fix this? Thanks, Lee G.

Hi Everyone, Here is my situation, I have a windows 2003 server that has Two logical partitions one (system partition) that is 6 GB with only 10 mb free. The other one is 105 gb with 47 gb free. I need to take some from the second partition and give it back to the system partition. Making them dynamic will allow me to extend them, but how would I go about resizing them after making them dynamic. Or can this be done without making them dynamic? Thanks, Ross

Hello. In my network I have those servers: - DHCP server running on Windows 2000 server - DNS server running on Windows 2003 server How do I configure a windows 2003 Std to be a DHCP and DNS Backup. My idea is if any of the main servers failed, this server would assume those functions. Is it possible?

I'm shopping for a beater PC that I will install Windows XP Pro on. I'm guessing that if, by some chance, I purchase a 64-bit machine, there's no way Windows XP is going to run on it. Have I got it right? -- PeteCresswell

I got 2 x 1 GB DDR400 in my system. Then added another identical 2 x 1 GB DDR400 RAM, now when the PC boot up it shows DDR333 in the first boot up screen. I tried to remove the old 2 GB, it shows DDR400, so the new RAM is OK. Any idea?

Back in the Win95 timeframe, there was a little applet that shipped with Lotus SmartSuite called "ScreenCam." It allowed one to essentially record everything that took place on the monitor's screen. Plus, you could narrate what was taking place with a voice recording overlay. "ScreenCam" is not supported and does not run on the later versions of Windows (2k, XP, etc.). So, I'm wondering if anyone knows of a similar applet that provides the same functionality in an XP environment that's available to the general public, and ideally, for free. I infer this capability exists from seeing an MS Help resource that incorporated the above: i.e., screen act…

Hello, I have a question about using mstsc.exe in a W2K3 and XP environment. With regard to the group policy, what are all the group policies which could affect remote connections? I have the allow logon interactively policy set but I still get an error which states I cannot logon to a given host when trying to use a remote desktop connection. I'm asking because there are literally hundreds of possible group policy settings. Does anyone know of a list of policies related to RDC and/ or terminal services? That would help troubleshooting and hunting an pecking through all the policy options. Thanks!

This is a question I'm hoping I will get some good input on. For all of our servers we create a generic AD user account, and assign that AD account to the local administrators group on the designated server that it should administer. This way if the user account gets used on any other machine other than the one server it's assigned to, the account only has normal user account rights on the network. Is this an appropiate method for trying to secure servers and the admin rights to them? Is there some other approach we should be using? What about domain controllers, should they be logged in as domain admin?? thanks in advance for any input on this topic…

I have a Dell Dimension 4550 that came with Windows XP Pro installed. I just inherited a Dell Dimension 4300 that came with Windows ME installed and I would like to install XP Pro and network the 2 computers together. The product code label on the 4550 reads as follows: "Windows XP Professional 1-2 CPU" Does this mean I acan install on 2 computers? Can I use the XP "reinstalation disc" from my 4550 to install on my 4300?
