I have two servers (Win2K3 SP1) identically configured for SNMP. They both have two different community strings. On one server an application is able to poll String A. On the other it can't. Checking the firewall the request passes towards the server but never comes back. From the firewall a test of String B works fine. We have double checked the community string is spelled correctly Netstat also confirms that port 161 is open. Nothing in the event logs. Is there anything else I can check to confirm the request is making it to the server and what happens inside? I was thinking netmon might show me the packets. Is there any value in recreating …

Have discovered it's something to do with having two monitors - one is 1280x1024 and the other is 1440x900. I can fill the screen on one or the other but not both at the same time - is there a way?

I'm trying to get a program to run as system login with administrative privileges without giving the user at the computer admin privileges. Putting a "runas" statement in the logon script that gives the program in question administrative privileges. However... ....I can't seem to find a way to add the proper administrative password in the runas.exe syntax. When the script is run, it prompts the user for the password for the administrative account it is attempting to run as. Obviously, we do not want our users to know the administrative passwords. We need runas to automatically enter the administrative username and password credentials so that the program will r…

Hi, I have a machine that when I log on as administrator the blinking system cursor is very wide, like about, 1/4". If I log on as another profile the blinking system cursor is fine. I've looked everywhere to set the cursor to its normail size but couldn't find it. Any ideas? Steve

I think it was a Win98 screensaver, but I'm hoping to find the screensaver that allowed a "glass marble" or hurricane swirl over your desktop. I haven't been able to find it through regular searches on the internet. Does anyone know where I can find that file?

Suddenly, Internet Explorer 6 on Win2K Pro won't browse to any SSL webpage. Administrator accounts can access SSL pages, but non-administrator accounts get the IE "page not found" error. I've recently had to fix corrupt user accounts, and these accounts are the ones that can't access SSL pages. Firefox can access SSL pages fine. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks, Pat

Hello, I got an appliation like a toolbar to lunch things like notepad etc (some application, just same me some type time). Before I install terminal service, it works ok. But when I got terminal service installed, it failed to launch. (e.g. when the toolbar tries to launch notepad,it gives out error: Unable to find notepad.exe in "C:\documents and settings\administrator \windows\". So why it is searching that path? If I remove terminal service, the application will be OK again. Many Thanks Jerry

Hello, If I use the a firewall and open up just port 3389 from specfic IPs and use RDP from those IPs to get to a waiting PC, am I OK or am I required to use a secured VPN client first?

The subject line pretty much sums it up. If I burn an audio CD on CD-RW it plays fine in my 2005 Altima. When I burn, only recently though, an audio CD on a CD-R (not re- writable) it doesn't work. I have some old CD-R's that play just fine. I don't know what I'm doing wrong. My PC/CD burner was having issues so I thought to replace it. A few months later and I'm still having the same issue. To top it off, it's becoming quite hard to find CD-RW's here in the local market. I have this one that I keep re-burning after I get sick of the current selection. Any ideas? I've tried going down to 4x burning speed. I've tried finalizing and not finalizing.…

Hello: We recently installed Win 2003 Server SP2 on a server that we primarily use for RIS. RIS was upgraded to WDS with SP2 according to the instructions released by Microsoft (http://technet2.microsoft.com/ WindowsVista/en/library/9e197135-6711-4c20-bfad-fc80fc2151301033.mspx? mfr=true). We have configured WDS exactly as this documentation describes. Microsoft failed to include any instructions on how to upgrade RIS images to WDS. After some reading we determined how to do this. Currently this is where we ran in to a roadblock. When we try to convert our old RIS images to WIM images, the process goes through until the very end of the progress bar, it s…

I wanted to delete URGE and went to Settings, Control Panel, Add and Remove Programs and selected URGE. It then said that the Windows installer service could not be accessed. It thought I was in Safe mode (I was NOT) or something wrong with Windows XP. I then went to the MS website and wanted to download the latest (version 3.x something) of Windows Installer, but it said the version on my HP computer was newer and I did not need the download. What is going on? Thanks for your advice in advance.
