I'm running SP2 on a Intel Core2Duo machine and am pretty comfortable around computer (having built my own in the recent past). I've been having problems with IE 7.0.5. Can't read or open PDF files (although I have Acrobat 8.0 installed), can't view page source, etc. I get this message. "Windows cannot access the specific device, path or file. You may not have permission to access the item." So yesterday, I ran the IE "diagnose connections problem" tool and low & behold, it fixed the problem. This morning I boot my machine and as it gets past post and starts to load Windows, I get this message..."Procedure entry point_resetstkflw could not be …

I just found that my computer has connected with a "public WiFi" on its own. I looked once at the wireless network list because there are new persons living nearby, but I have never connected with anyone else. The last time I connected with any wireless was last summer! This is a bit disturbing because that public wireless network to which I was connected a few minutes ago is no longer in my list of possible connections. Two others, both with poor signals, are available. The offending network had a good solid five-bar signal, but it's not listed now. Any ideas?

Hello all, I'm moving a server to another network which already has a server with the same name. They are in different Active Directory domains. Do I need to change the name of the server I am moving? I thought I would ask if anyone has had this situation come up before. The server I'm moving is running: - Windows 2003 Server Standard Edition, SP1 - Terminal Services - Active directory (Domain Controller) - File Server - DNS Server - DHCP Server - MS SQL Server 2000 Currently the server name / IP is: Server1.DomainA.local / 192.168.12.2 The other server with the same hostname is: Server1.DomainB.local / 192.168.0.2 …

I'm a primarly a sales/desktop technician for a small business with really limited experience on servers. I would like to get on a track to MCSE but from what I hear the 70-290 is not a test to jump into without previous knowledge. Anyone have any suggestions on books or something I can just gain good experience doing? Chris MCTS

Guys, we run a nightly batch job to check uptime on around 300 servers. Recently we have had a few reporting errors where uptime.exe shows the uptime as say 10 days when we know for a fact the server was rebooted that evening before the batch ran. I know from what little linformation I've been able to find that uptime generates the calculations from the event logs. Any thoughts?

Hi everybody. I have this application (a French dictionnary) which worked beautifully for years, until this morning. It is a "one-session only" app. Now, for some reason, when I launch it, nothing happens. If I try to launch it again, I get a *normal* message (i.e. generated by the application) indicating that this application is already being used. However, it doesn't appear in Task Manager / Application. I cannot relate this problem to anything I could have done. My system (DELL, Windows XP SP1) is very stable, maintained, and I didn't install any program lately. No virus, as far as Norton can say. No other bug I know of. I tried to reinstall the ap…

We want to setup a user on our domain with access to our Windows Server 2003 event logs, specifically the security log. What is the minimum requried for him to access this? Does he need to RDP in as a domain admin, or is there some other way to access this log? Thanks!

I have a batch file that runs the ntbackup tool fo some of my important users. I have scheduled the task to run with the NT Authority\System account, the task runs fine and creates the backup file, but when I go to see the log file it doen't exist. I have tried adding /L:F or /L:S to the ntbackup command, but no success. The point is that if I doble click the bacth file it created the log file under the correct path: C:\Documents and Settings\%username%\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Windows NT\NTBackup\data It means the bacth file is fine but there is something wrong when I run the process with the system account. Any advice would be helpfu…

I just installed CA on one of our DS, I can request a certificate as a domain admin, but when I try to do it as a regular user I get an error message saying "You do not have permission to send to this recipient". I've checked the permissions and domain users have read and enroll rights. What step did I miss? Thanks.

Help! I was working with the registry file and managed to disable my computer. I searched this site and all related posts I found point to KB 307545. Problem is I have an OEM operating system installed and the KB warns against restoring hive files in this case. Moreover, my copy of XP is on a DVD and I am not sure I can boot to this drive anyway. Prior to editing the registry I saved a copy to another folder. My question is is there any way to get to this backup version of the registry and restore it without using hive files? Would booting to DOS allow for this? I understand sysinternals has an NTFS add-on for DOS. Otherwise, could I somehow u…
