Hi, Have anyone seen an issue where the active node of a clustered File Server becomes unresponsive after some time and is okay after a reboot. I remember there seems to be an Technet article referring to this? Anyone can help ? Thank you Regards, Newbie -- Time 4 a break

I hope somebody has an idea on this one. When I run the defragment analyse utility it tells me I need to defrag and shows loads of red on the display just to make the point. However, when I run the defrag it gets to the end and the drive is still fragmented!! I even ran recovery console and used chkdsk c: /r thinking I might have one or two corrupt files but this has made no difference.

Hi, What is everyone using to get stats on overall server performance, benchmarks, and server monitoring? I like SiteScope quite a bit but it isn't in the budget. The windows perfmon is Ok but just not great. I am trying to look at stats on some servers to figure out why some applications are running slow or should I say servers. We have some sql apps, oracle db based apps, citrix servers, and some others. I want to just find a decent app that will give me an idea of if the hardware is getting maxed out or if it is just the app slowing down, any idea, suggestions, web links, pointers, whatever you got, I will take it, thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!

I want to upgrade to a larger hard drive on my Dell E1505 Laptop. I have questions regarding the software transfer (not the physical installation of the drive). The system was purchased with WinXP and subsequently upgraded to Vista Ultimate and Office 2007. I see Dell places four partitions on the drive: Utilities, Windows C:\ drive, Backup and something called "CP/M, Concurrent DOS, CTOS". Questions are: -Is there a way to clone the old drive to the new drive, which is larger (Presumeably this involves physical hookup of the two drives, and a cloning ultility which works with Windows Vista). -Or can I use my Dell (Windows XP) reinstall CD's onto the new…

My desktop runs XP Pro, but two other family members have laptops running XP Home. I would like to be able to restrict share access on each computer to just one of the other two. So, for example, I want to sync certain financial files with one laptop, but not the other laptop (which would itself have it's own syncs on different folders). The problem is the XP Home computers. Home seems to treat everyone on the network as a Guest logon, and completely ignores that actual name and password of the user logging in. And while I can change the NTFS permissions of a folder as it applies to Guest, I don't see how to assign different rights to different ne…

I have one user with a Dell running XP Home. All the Microsoft bug patches are applied after waiting a few days to see if other people report problems. System has run without substantial problems for a number of years. There are hardware firewalls, software firewalls, antivirus, antispyware, scans done on a regular basis, etc, etc, etc. Has not had any malware on it for years. After the Microsoft DST patches were installed the system after the system would boot every few days randomly it would have the clock be an hour early. Even after the "old DST date" change passed the problem persisted. I tried repeatedly manually pushing the clock forward an hou…

Original Posting: 6/12/2007 2nd Request Posting: 6/25/07 Is it possible to exclude one or more folders (non-system use folders) of the system drive (c:) during an ASR backup? There is nothing in the GUI to allow doing this. Is there by chance a registry hack to allow it? Thanks. Additional with 2nd request posting: Or, is there some way to generate the ASR diskette without doing an actual ASR backup? Platform: Windows Server 2003 R2 SP2. Thanks. -- Bob Felton

Anyone know of any free software that does the same thing that windows system restore does? I just can't count on windows system restore because I keep getting corrupted restore points. I flushed out all my restore points on 7/4 and today tried to restore to that date and it didn't work. I don't know how that restore point got corrupted that fast. -- Message posted via WindowsKB.com http://www.windowskb.com/Uwe/Forums.aspx/windowsxp/200707/1
