O/S Win7 C: INT 80gb System Drive D: INT 500gb Back-Up J: EXT HDD 750gb WD Black In brief: My O/S 80gb HDD C: has failed. I've sent off for a new 1 TB HDD to apply a system image from an internal HDD back up image. (I'll also want to partition it...Best size for an O/S' headroom?) but I'm wary of the steps to take because of the below steps and outcomes to attempt fixing the no booting I firstly tried, due to misdiagnosing the situation. Note: Also tried booting with just failed HDD installed with different cables to be sure. 01 - No boot, booted from O/S Disc. I noticed 2X HDDs, where "Back-UP" D, had now changed to "C: Back-Up", and what I thought was the original O/S C: drive was now J: (But was in fact the EXT 750gb HDD I forgot was plugged in!!!) So thought somehow the drive letters had somehow changed. Ergo not booting because "C: Back-Up" had no O/S files. (I now know in fact the original C: O/S HDD must have failed and somehow D: got bumped back to C:) "If that's possible? 02 - Applied a saved system image from newly listed "C: Back-Up" (was D:) using O/S Disc tools to EXT HDD J:, but still wouldn't boot. I only then realised I'd copied a system image to my EXT HDD...Dohhh! 03 - F8 tapping to put EXT HDD first boot device. Again no boot!, and now showing still as J: but with a capacity of 80gb instead of actual 750gb!!! Q. With confusing the EXT HDD as being my O/S HDD I've re-imaged whilst the failed original INT 80gb O/S HDD was connected. May that have some bearing? (Now pulled out) Q. Now when the New INT HDD arrives and I install it, I am concerned that it will apply another drive letter other than (C:) to it, again stopping me from booting because of the previous experience above? Q. I read O/S back up images like to be installed on a partition of the same size as the original image was ripped from, but I'd prefer a bit more headroom on the new HDD for it if possible? If anyone could give me some insight how to go about this I'd be very greatful. Regards Paul More...

Hello, I have one workstation with a remote connection problem. OS: Windows 7 enterprise 32-bit Workstation is connected to a domain. Problem started after June or July updates, I cannot connect to the workstation from any host via RDP. it just freezes on "Configuring remote session" and after few minutes it shows a message: "this computer can't connect to the remote computer. Try connecting again." All settings are set correctly, all accesses are given. Google is searched fully, neither solution worked for my situation. More...

Hi, I have a situation where a standard domain user who is not supposed to have admin rights has admin rights in a local PC. I have checked the account permissions and it does not have admin rights. I have also checked the Tools>Computer Management ? Groups > Administrators and confirmed that it does not have the user added to this group. This computer officially has 2 admin accounts, one is the domain admin and one local admin. I am cracking my head trying to figure out how this user got admin privileges even though locally and in the AD this user does not have the rights assigned to them. I have removed the user profile in this computer and have created a new profile but that did not seem to help. Please advise if I have missed something here. Thank you. More...

Hi, I wanted to go into safe mode on windows 7 but it kept stopping at classpnp.sys . After reading a few threads I read about using Msconfig and checking the safe mode option under "Boot". It still keeps staying at classpnp.sys and when I hit F8 and hit "Last Known Good Configuration (advanced)" it seems to be able to get trough and it says it's actually loading up safe mode but then it changes to a black screen and does not change from that screen. I would appreciate and information you guys have that could solve this problem. If any of you know a command I could type in cmd to bring up the msconfig while in repair mode I could fix it because all I need to do is untick "Safe mode on startup" More...

Dear All, I came across an unusual situation and count on your help since I cannot resolve it. Scenario: Domain network with W2012R2 server as a DC, a spare DC and several other servers both virtual and physical. Several dozen workstations. One of the workstations (W7pro-64) got a failure with cyclic BSOD. Disks C:,D: and SYSTEM_DRV were restored from the 24-hour-old backup. "Preserve domain trust token on target drive" option is checked, though I do not know if it's correct. Anyway I see no way change this. After that the trust relationship was with the domain was broken with the following symptoms: 1. Login not possible with network cable plugged. The system refused to recognize any domain users. 2. RDP connections to the workstation fail. 3. Impossible to connect to MS Exchange. Additional information: Domain Member PolicySettingWinning GPODomain member: Maximum machine account password age 999 days Default Domain Policy What I tried: 1. Nltest query C:\>nltest /query Flags: 0 Connection Status = 1786 0x6fa ERROR_NO_TRUST_LSA_SECRET The command completed successfully 2. Nltest reset C:\>nltest /sc_reset: I_NetLogonControl failed: Status = 1786 0x6fa ERROR_NO_TRUST_LSA_SECRET 3. Netdom reset Also no luck - access denied. 4. Netsh netsh winsock reset netsh int ip reset and attempt to join the domain with the wizard. No luck. 5. Multiple attempts to unjoin the domain. Every possible combination. Under domain users with administrative rights, under enabled local admin account. With network cable plugged and unplugged. The result is the same - ACCESS DENIED. 6. wmic start /B /W wmic.exe /interactiveSmiley Surprisedff ComputerSystem Where "Name='%computername%'" Call UnJoinDomainOrWorkgroup FUnjoinOptions=0 No result at all. 7. POwershell cmdlet Reset-ComputerMachinePassword Reset-ComputerMachinePassword -Server "DC01" -Credential Domain01\Admin01 Also leads to access denied error All the methods I tried have one symptom in common - access is denied. I think that there is some fundamental problem in recovery. Please, advise how to resolve the problem. More...

Hi guys, I have an issue with one of my laptops at home. Randomly (but quite often) there is no sound when I move the "sound cursor" in the speaker tray(and of course there is no sound at all when playing videos or MP3...). The sound is not muted, all is fine when we go to the control panel (no errors), but when we want to TEST if the sound works, we don't hear anything. The workaround is simple, I go to the devmgmt.msc and disable then enable the "REALTEK HD Audio device" and the sound is fine then. But as a system admin I would like to find a permanent solution, in case I have a similar issue with my users at work. What steps I have already done: - update REALTEK HD Audio driver with the latest driver available in their website (2.82). - check with Process Monitor if something is wrong when I move the cursor and have no sound, but didn't found Nothing interesting. - compared task manager processes when the sound is fine and when the sound is not working. But didn't find any diff?rences. Informations: laptop is Lenovo X230, running W7 pro x64, all updates installed, all is working fine on this laptop excepted this sound issue. Nothing is plugged into the laptop (no headphones, no speakers, no docking station, no screen). I have the issue for two month or so, all was fine at the beginning.(I need to find the real cause of the issue and not just do a system restore :) ) Thank you in advance for your help, Don't hesitate to ask complex things to try!

Hope to be fine here with this question. It is about Windows 10 2018 March operating on physical machine. It hosts Oracle Virtualbox Hypervisor with two Debian virtual machines on top of stack. Virtual machines want to get quite periodic updates (patches, fixes, security updates and so on). Quite every day except for weekends there are new updates. Currently they go through V.B. NAT network to Internet to fetch updates. Regarding generated traffic it is of double amount as each of two v.machines fetches same updates for itself separately. So to reduce the load of internet connection the idea is to setup on WSL cache-proxy for Debian package management used on virtual machines for package management. The choice is apt-cacher-ng, it acts as proxy dpkg system clients however shows extended cache capabilities regarding downloaded packages. Two Debian virtual machines should connect to Debian servers through apt-cacher-ng, latter one operating within WSL. What level of feasibility might be this goal? Can anyone immediately see any technical points doing this goal unreachable? In some WSL document, side myself found one time short notice WSL was not good for server application. Actually a proxy is no server so from this point of view no conflict. I am not sure if generally there are cons to be considered in current planning phase. Apt-Cacher-NG User Manual More...

I plan to create 2 storage spaces, 1 for my active data (mostly pictures and videos) and 1 for backup. Should I create 1 storage pool for both my data and backup storage spaces? Or, should I create 2 separate storage pools, 1 for each storage space? More...

Hello! We have several system, which sporadically (about 1 in 10 tries) get a bluescreen when the touch screen is first touched on the windows logon screen (when "pushing" to screen up to reveal the password box). We have updated Windows, the graphics drivers and the touch screen drivers to the newest versions with no luck, and are a little stumped. How would we troubleshoot this situation? We have uploaded a minidump of this crash to https://we.tl/t-SqeucyZZuw. Note that this minidump may not reflect the driver updates, but nothing changed after performing them. A first WinDbg analysis follows. Thank you and kind regards Jens Microsoft ® Windows Debugger Version 10.0.17134.1 X86 Copyright © Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.

All, Within Windows 10 1709 - I am struggling with the set up of "Windows Update for Business" using local group policy. In the policy editor - this folder appears under: Computer Config-> Admin Templates -> Windows Components ->Windows Update->Windows Update for Business. In here there are three policies that can be set - I am working with "Select when Preview Builds and Feature Updates are received". In this policy - I want to ensure the 1803 Feature update does not suddenly install on my 1709 clients so I want to set the Readiness Level to Semi Annual Channel and the Deferral time to 240 days. I enter the values, Apply and then close the GP editor I then go to an admin command prompt and type gpupdate /force. Expecting the policies I just set - to actually be available. But when I go to the Settings App and click Windows Update and then Advanced Options - I see nothing. I thought I should see several controls that show the Readiness Channel and Deferral time. Then I was reading about the Telemetry setting located here:Computer Config-> Admin Templates -> Windows Components ->Data Collection and Preview Builds->Allow Telemetry Seems if this value is set to 0 (Security) (mine was) the Windows Update for Business values are not applied AND do not appear in the Advanced Options area of Windows Update. So I adjusted this value to 3 (Full) and did another gpUpdate /force. But still nothing. I was expecting gpupdate /force to immediately enable these options and make them visible in the Settings app. Seems I am expecting too much? So I rebooted a couple times and still nothing. What am I missing? Clearly there is some other GP settings or reg settings or something preventing me from seeing these controls? B More...
