I am currently investigating how Effective Permissions calculations work on Windows. I am considering all the server versions of Windows however I restrict my discussion to Windows 2003 Server here as it has a tool to calculate the Effective Permissions. My domain scenario is as follows: Number of domains : 1 running on Win2k SP4 AS I create a new user in the domain say UserX and a new global group say GroupY and make UserX a member of GroupY. To experiment with I first assigned Everyone group full control on a particular directory and Authenticated Users only write control on the directory. Now according to Microsoft Everyone group includes Authentica…

Re: Question about SIMM and DIMM combination in an old computer - UPDATE Thank you VERY much to all who replied (quite extensively in some cases) to my post and have helped me solve the problem. WARNING: A long and boring description of what I did follows between the two rows of asterisks. ***** I had no idea whatsoever that DIMMs ran on 3.3 or 5V. I have had the 4 16MB SIMMs since the day I got the computer. Of course, my DIMM does not say which voltage it likes, but I read on one site that it really couldn't damage anything if the voltage was wrong ("couldn't damage" meaning, I suppose, AOT just screwing everything up). So the first thing I …

So I think what caused this to happen is from my regretful attempt to get some of the old Myst games working *Myst masterpiece edition + Riven), and this HAD to install the old version of QT that they used (can't remember version number). Now since then, whenever I go to do anything involving quicktime, it set my Vista theme to Vista Basic and as soon as I close it, it reverts back to the Aero theme. Not sure what to look for...I've uninstalled all versions of Quicktime then reinstalled from the web installer. Maybe I need some sort of registry cleaner but I don't trust many of em. Just need some suggestions...thanks

Hi, I have a flash of size 3 mb...How can i implement a FAT partition in it... Thanks a lot in advance, Ajay

I would like to setup remote access to our servers and workstations just like can be done with RWW using Windows SBS 2003. However, we have more than 75 users so the Small Business Server would not work. How could I accomplish the same type of access using a Windows Server 2003?

Say I wanted to turn my Windows XP machine into a wireless access point. How would I do that? Would enabling Internet Connection Sharing be sufficient?

I have approx 50 Win2k AS 2-node File and Print clusters connected to IBM FastT200 Fibre Arrays, configured with a Q: quorum drive, D: data drive and 2 spooler drives for Windows and Unix printing. The D data drives continually get MFT corruption, eventually causing drive failure, however there is no corruption on any other drive. The d: Data drive contains user profiles, homedirs, shareddata and shared folders for application data and DHCP and WINS db's. Although a the majority of I/O is on this drive it is well within the limits of the hardware. After running a chkdsk d: /f on the drive a read only chkdsk shows no corruption. However a day later the…

I have an x64 Vista Ultimate installation that is getting this error seemingly at random. Some research has shown this as likely to be a driver problem and Verifier to be the method to check this. Unfortunately, while Verifier does throw a different error, stating that a driver is attempting to corrupt the list, it does not identify the offending driver. Furthermore, I don't seem to be able to find a dump produced anywhere even though the system is set to produce a kernal memory dump as well as a log entry. Is there another method to identify the offending driver that I am overlooking? Does anyone know where the dumps are or why I'm not seeing them? …

I'm setting up a Terminal Server on a 2003 Server. When I try to 'Activate' Terminal Server Licensing it does nothing. This box will be a member server when delivered, but right now I have it on the bench as a member of a workgroup. It should still activate shouldn't it? I have done this on two other servers a couple of years ago (DC's though) and had no problems. Thanks

Looking for directions as to installing our own custom services on a windows 2003 server. Thanks Card

You'll have to bear with me....I'm very new to the Windows world. My predecessor built a Windows 2000 server domain (mostly to play with) quite a few years ago and made it a DC. He had one server join the domain just as a member server. I now have the need to get rid of the DC but I still need to keep the member server. To remove the member server is it just as simple as moving it to a Workgroup and rebooting it until we get the other domain up and running? We don't have AD running or anything, any time we log into that server we just log in locally. I just want to be sure the member server will be ok once I remove it from the domain or there are a…
