How does Microsoft define a user for the User CALS? We have about 250 Users. We have an additional 200 or so shared accounts; aka resource accounts (calendars, conference rooms, etc). Do we need 250 CALS for the 250 people accessing all the accounts? or do we need 450 CALS for each account that has access to the network? thanks

Microsoft Media Center Edition owners ( or renters, as maybe is more legally correct to say here in free America ) are now at the mercy of yet another lunacy, people whom enjoy recording cable for personal use are required to purchase hard disk recording in place of inexpensive DVD recording media to be within the compliance of copyright law. Is government complex? What happens when my media center license expires, i'm s**T out of luck. Depends if copyright over rules the right of free speech, and to learn and study! Anyone eager to point me to internationally legal tools for cracking a personal use copy of My Friend Flicka, ( reply to mmarkaawwashb...@b…

I reinstalled Windows 98 OS. Problem is it took the Windows Internet Explorer back to version 4.0. I've looked but don't seem to find an update I can now use . I can't remember what version I had gone "up to" but it "may" have been in the 5 range. Am I not looking in the right place?

Warning messages keep appearing in Event Viewer|Applications that say, " caused by services running in a user's account. To find out which services are running in a user account I looked in AdminTools|Services. Next I went to the cmd and entered net start. All I see are serices running in either Local or System. I sure I am missing some basic undersatnding of what was ment by the Description in the warning. Can someone help me? -- KC

I have a notebook on which Telephony works and one on which it does not. The path to executable Telephoney Serice is C:\WINDOWS\Systm32\svchost.exe. The one that doesn't work has -k tapisrv to svchost.exe. The one that does work has -K netsvcs. Where do these modifiers come from? -- KC

I'd like to download ie7 from a computer that has dsl and transfer the files to a computer that only has dialup. It looks like it's impossible to do according to the microsoft site. Is there a way? If not, I'll just switch over to firefox.

When I start up XP, everything appears to be moving along smoothly. But within a few seconds of opening the screen with the list of users, the screen suddenly goes black. Please post any suggestions about how to stop this problem. Thanks!

I have been trying to install the Windows 2008 Server Enterprise Edition, Beta 3 onto a system containing a Supermicro PDSM4 motherboard (BIOS: R 1.1a) with four SATA disks. The system supplier is no longer in business. The BIOS is configured for Intel rather than the Adaptec controller code base and the BIOS utility creates and recognizes a four disk RAID-5 array. During installation I used a CD-ROM with the driver from Intel Matrix Storage (7.5.0.1017 6/4/2007). The file "iastor.inf" was selected. The installation ran to completion but when the system reboots it briefly flashes a blue screen then reboots again. A safe mode boot fails after displa…

Hi, I have 1 x SBS2003 server + 2 x Server2003 servers SBS2003 - 192.168.0.2 Server02 - 192.168.1.2 Server03 - 192.168.2.2 These are linked together via VPN across the country. All servers are DCs so Active Directory is all there and up to date. Now, we'd like to setup roaming profiles so that when a user logs on at any site they get their roaming profile without it transferring from SBS2003 server (and hence taking ages to copy the profile). How do I setup roaming profiles so that each user can log on anywhere and their profile is copied from the 'nearest' server in geographic proximity? Thanks Chris

Had a problem with a slow computer so erased the drive installed new ram and reinstalled windows xp. have had it running now for about 2 months. Shut it down about 2 days ago and when I tried to turn it back on I am getting a small window with a big RED X and two buttons one yes and one no and no matter which I click it logs me off the computer.

I have access to a webpage that shows a list of links. Each link leads to a file that I want to save on my machine. The problem is that when I right click on the link and select "save target as", XP adds an extension to the filename when it saves it. For example one of the files is a script named countWords. When I right click on the link and select "save target as", XP saves this file as countWords.txt instead of countWords. How do I stop XP being so overly "helpful"? Thanks. -- A Human

Once its been setup and used, how can I remove a wireless network that appears in wireless network list? I see no way to delete a no longer wanted wireless network from the list of possible connections.

Whenever my TS users logon to a server it fails due to the server login is automatically populating the Domain drop-down to the local machine. Then after the timeout period and a failed logon attempt they can change the Domain to our domain and then they can successfully login. It only happens when they login to my terminal server nodes (since RDP 6 won't connect to my virtual farm name, separate posting in this forum). Where do i force the logon to authenticate to domain login and stop the default local logon to the server? i am fairly new to this environment and not sure what policy to set to force logon to the domain.
