I had to install a new windos xp in a desktop that would not start and would not allow to use the recovery console. Now I have two operating systems: the new xp installation and the old xp installation, and every time I start up I have to chose which one I want to use to startup my comp. Apart from this, the old windows installation holds siginificant space in the disk (together with the program files that had been installed in that windows.) Now I would like to manually delete de old windows xp and the files related to that installation to recover the space in the disk. I am guessing that if I delete the old C:\windows directory, this will do p…

So, I set up the Default Domain Policy under Group Policy Management in Server Manager in Windows Server 2008 for Folder Redirection. The settings I chose were Basic (Redirect everyone's folder to the same location), and under Target Folder Location, "Create a folder for each user under the root path" was chosen. The Root Path is set as \ \SageRealtyDC.SageRealty.local\SageRealtyUsers. I set up SageRealtyUsers as a Share and gave Everyone Full Control. From most of what I read on the subject of Folder Redirection, this should create a folder in the SageRealtyUsers folder when the user logs in using this new policy for the first time, and copy the My Documents…

Hi I am running Win XP Home (SP 3). After re-installing my HP PSC 750 driver, I am constantly receiving Delayed Write Error messages. I cannot disable the write caching on the drive as it is "greyed" out on the Policies tab of the drive properties. I have also tried through the device manger, without success. Is there a way to desable this in the registry? I have looked at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System \CurrentControlSet\Services\Lanman server\Parameters which many sites recommend setting the value to 0. My question is what "item" in this registry setting must be set to 0? Am I on the right track to solve the problem? Do you have any other solutions? Than…

Hello, One of our remote offices began complaining of slow network file access of Excel files on their file server/DC which was a Win2k3 sp1 R1 server. Certain Excel files (almost all have links to other Excel files on the same server) would take 60 seconds to 2-4 minutes to open, before prompting to update the data w/in the files. Prior to this it would take 15 seconds or less to open the same files. We were unable to find anything wrong with the server through the event viewer, net/dcdiag, etc. After a great deal of pressure from this office we replaced the server with a newer Win2k3 sp2 R2 server and migrated the data to the new server. The …

When I go into the Windows Firewall to open up the firewall to allow IP addresses to connect to the server I see 4 ports listed under file and print sharing. The 4 ports are TCP 139, TCP 445, UDP 137, and UDP 138. How are these ports different? Would I need make client IP exceptions for all 4 of these ports for file sharing?

Hi, I always get the message: {Lost Delayed-Write Data} The system was attempting to transfer file data from Buffers to \Device\LanmanRedirector. The write operation failed, and only some of the data may have been written to the file (in German) Message ID 50 Last Word C000020C on my Server 2008. Applications crash when this message occurs. All hints are for Server 2003. Is there any helpo for Sever 2008? Thanks Ole

A client of mine needs more memory on his server for an application using a large graphics database. He was told by a Microsoft representative that he could purchase Server 2008 and downgrade to 2003 in order to get the larger memory support (16 GB is desired). All the Microsoft tables that I can find show that Server 2008 Standard can be downgraded to a Server 2003 Standard license, but 2003 Standard supports maximum 4 GB (even 64-bit 2003). He has a Dell Poweredge 2900 with 64 bit Xeon dual core that can handle it with no problem. Does anyone know of a workable solution without going to the Enterprise edition? Thanks in advance! -- IT Consul…

Hi! Can somebody advice free software on disk to disk back up with the option to back up to an external drive ? I found Paragon Drive Backup 9.0 Express (http://www.paragon-software.com/home/db-express/), it might be one to test, but I'm guessing it doesn't have much in the way of features... is here anyone who tried this software? Thank you!

How can I remove a started setup/installation of Windows Server 2003and restore the old operating system? Hello, Because on my server with Windows Server 2003 I had an error message "ntldr not found" I started it with the setup-CD. Actually I wanted to try to repair it. However, after initiating the setup it took quite long so in between I went to my work place. When I came back it was way down the installation procedure in the GUI part already but finally it couldn't find some files and stopped. Unfortunately now it always runs into the setup which does not work, I have no choice to boot in the old windows Server 2003 operating system. I tried F8 and chose …

For years I have set my computer to go into standby when unused for a period of time (30 minutes) for some reason it has stopped going into standby. The monitor goes to sleep and I can hear the hdd attempting to disconnect but it will not go into a complete standby state. If I click "Start\Turn Off Computer\Standby" it still will not go into standby as it did several weeks ago. I have another computer set up essentially the same way and it continues to function as I have set it up. I am at wits end to figure it out. I can usually find the cause to these little inconveniences but this one has me baffled. I am beginning to suspect a hardware problem i.e. power supp…

In a home setting with 5 computers running winxp would there be any need to run a server environment ? Can user rights, priviledges, and dhcp be accomplished with security settings within winxp and a router? Would I be sacrificing anything doing this within a workgroup or would it be better to setup a domain in a server setting?
