I am using Fantacy Remote to view the remote desktop. I want to disable the mouse action of the client side, It should be a view only window. How can i do this ?
Router (primary AP) is a WRVS4400N, WAP (signal booster) is a WAP4410N.
Problem: User is physically located within ten feet of WAP (200 feet from main wireless router). Signal is at 5 bars as user connects to wireless network. Within seconds, signal is at or below two bars and connection is poor.
Background: Trying to solve problem of weak wireless signal in back offices. Desired result is for client laptops to automatically switch to the stronger signal.
WAP is connected to network via Ethernet cable.
WAP is set to AP mode (instead of Wireless Repeater mode)
WAP does appear to boost signal. Using Windows 7 sys tray Connect To A Network applet, can observe signal boost as laptop approaches the WAP.
Above-described problem happens to users located near or beyond the WAP. It does not happen to users in close proximity to the router.
Secondary Question: If using WAP in AP Mode, do WAP and Router (primary AP) need to be on the same channel?
I'm on a Windows 7 machine, attempting to use the command line to schedule a task on another Windows 7 machine in my company's network. I have administrative-level credentials for both computers. With help from http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/bb736357.aspx I have created this line to run on the command prompt:
schtasks /Create /S machinename /U username /P password /SC ONCE /TN Test1 /TR C:\Windows\System32\calc.exe /ST 16:30
Whenever I launch that, I get the following error:
ERROR: User credentials are not allowed on the local machine.
How can I fix this?
I've found that Aircrack-ng is very powerful tool for wireless hacking. But it is a bit complicated to use (even with its documentation). Also, when I run the GUI, it needs to add a "capture file". What is that?
Additionally, it says Windows version is weaker than the Linux version. So how can I get it to run like a Linux version?
What are some step-by-step instructions (to use on Windows XP)?
I need to setup a computer so that it can be operated from two locations. The locations are about 20 meter from each other and the user wants the experience to be the same from both locations, i.e. no remote desktop or anything like that and preferably a seamless switch.
So basically I need a double set of, monitor, keyboard and mouse, and then of course link it together by some kind of suitable hardware.
On a friends laptop following some viruses infestations there is a problem in starting the Windows firewall. The error is:

I've tried the suggestions below and many others:
http://windowsxp.mvps.org/sharedaccess.htm
http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/892199
http://windowsxp.mvps.org/repairwmi.htm
I can't do a repair install because the installer doesn't detect existing versions. It's XP pro service pack 3.
OK, So a little background;
I've been using Windows Home Server as a Backup Appliance, Media Server and Share Server at home for some time. I decided it was costing me allot of juice so very early on added the "Lights Out" add-on to ensure it was only running as and when needed.
I'm now looking to switch to a Linux based server and I'm looking for a similar tool/set of tools for advanced power management.
Now the question;
Anyone got any all-in-one suggestions (i.e with client parts for both Windows and Linux and a server part for the Linux server), or can anyone simply verify that I'll need to set-up all the individual bits for this myself separately?
(A tool similar to "[SmartPower][2]" but for linux would be a great start)
I'm trying to connect from an Ubuntu server to a RHEL6 server using mysql. I've tried telneting into the server as well as trying to connect with mysql. I've tried commenting out the bind-address but didn't have any success with that either. I don't get an error code or anything with telnet. It just fails after a minute or so. With mysql, I get this error code ERROR 2003 (HY000): Can't connect to MySQL server on 'SERVER_IP' (111). "SERVER_IP" is of course a placeholder where actual error gives that actual IP.

I'm battling against this darn issue this morning. We have the following setup:
Big Hyper-V machine hosting the servers as VM's
VM for CAS: WEB.XXX.local
VM for Mailbox: EXC.XXX.local
Servers are running Server 2008 R2 with Exchange 2010 SP1
Clients are all running Windows 7 Pro x64 with Outlook 2010 x64
The problem we're having is that nobody is able to see any emails received today (16th of October), but they are able to send externally. When I reply back to the email received externally, I don't get an NDR, yet the user cannot see my email.
This is what I found and tried thus far:
If we create a subfolder in Outlook 2010 and move any email from the inbox into that folder, changes will be immediately reflected in OWA
We've been sending test emails to other users internaly and external email addresses and the sent items folder contains all those tests, synced properly to OWA as well
Have tried crating a new profile, new emails are still missing
Tried disabling Cache Mode, still no luck
Also disabled "Download shared folders", still no luck
Tried to setup a brand new Exchange mailbox and configured it on a VM that never had Outlook on it, still the same issue
Tried restarting Exchange services on both CAS and Mailbox servers, no luck
Tried rebooting both CAS and Mailbox servers, still no luck
Performed a Mailbox Discovery on my admin account, emails from today are being found in the Discovery results, so the stuff is there, just not updating the user inboxes
Any idea about what this hellish thing can be? I've done everything I can think of and also everything I could find out there.
Let me know if you need any more details and thanks for reading this!
Here's the current configuration in our organization (which I believe is incorrect):
We have a number of Cisco 1500 series AP's (22 in total), that are mounted outdoors to provide seamless WiFi coverage over a large area. Each AP however has its own physical ethernet connection back to the WLC (All the AP's are marked as Root AP's). They are all broadcasting the same SSID. We have tried to stagger the channel selection but because there are only three non-overlapping channels to choose from, and in some areas the density of AP's is quite high, there is multiple places of channel interference. With this configuration we experience 100-150 disconnects from clients every day. (Our clients are mobile so they move throughout the coverage area constantly).
My idea is to switch the AP's to the same channel thereby forming a wireless mesh, use the built in functionality of the 1500 series to use 802.11a as the backhaul, designate one or two AP's as root AP's and wire them back to the WLC. Thereby forming a WiFi mesh, which if I'm not mistaken is the point of the 1500 series in the first place!
I am however completely new at WiFi networks and wondering if I am simply mistaken in what I believe my proposed changes will enable, or if there is a better way to tackle the WiFi topology.
I'm aware of how to use VNC to share screens or grant remote control of your machine over the internet by using VNC or one of the web-based "go to my pc" type services.
If two computers are connected to a router (i.e. standard home network), is there an easier way of viewing and controlling one computer from the other?
I'd like to avoid going outside the LAN, onto the internet, then back in if possible.
Both machines are Windows XP, but I'm not looking for Remote Desktop by the way.
Consider this scenario:
Please don't say that it would be better if I created a Domain network;
Just consider this scenario.
10 PCs are all interconnected via a switch to a workgroup network named WORKGROUP;
PCs specs(all are the same): Windows XP SP2 en (build:2600.xpsp_sp2_rtm.040803-2158)
I have full physical control over my own PC (one of those 10 PCs) and what I know about the other ones:
IPs of all 10 PCs.
Administrator account name of all 10 PCs.
Administrator account password of all 10 PCs.
How can I execute an application on the other PCs???(without touching them)
How can modify their registry settings???(without touching them)
Consider a netbook - Lenovo S10e with Windows 7 and the S10 Lenovo power management tools. Machine has factory BIOS.
Fn+F5 is the key combo to toggle the wireless radio on/off.
The tool allows the disabling fine; works as expected. The problem is that the re-enable doesn't work, or is confusing on how to re-enable.
Previously tried without success:
Fn-F5
Fn-Ctrl-F5
Fn-Shift-F5
Fn-Alt-F5
Here's the onscreen display:
Question: How can you re-enable the wireless radio using the Function key on a Lenovo netbook?
Ubuntu Documentation Ubuntu 9.04 Ubuntu Server Guide Security User Management states that there is a default minimum password length for Ubuntu:
By default, Ubuntu requires a minimum
password length of 4 characters
Is there a command for displaying the current password policies for a user (such as the chage command displays the password expiration information for a specific user)?
> sudo chage -l SomeUserName
Last password change : May 13, 2010
Password expires : never
Password inactive : never
Account expires : never
Minimum number of days between password change : 0
Maximum number of days between password change : 99999
Number of days of warning before password expires : 7
This is rather than examining various places that control the policy and interpreting them since this process could contain errors. A command that reports the composed policy would be used to check the policy setting steps.
I have a vsftpd server configured with many virtual users.
logins are stored in a Berkeley DB file
One configuration file exists for each user to define his permissions (read-only or read-write, home directory, etc.). To do that, I use the user_config_dir parameter (set in vsftpd.conf).
I am wondering if it would be possible to manage these virtual users from a simple GUI (such as web interface).
I have found some tools but they are limited to generic vsftpd configuration, not virtual users management. Otherwise, PAM-MySQL seems to be a good way to manage users efficiently but only username/password and logs can be stored in database, not permissions.
Finally, I've found this thread, but the solution is a bit awkward...
Is there any way to easily manage the vsftpd users ?
I have an excel sheet with information about each employee. I keep getting new updated spreadsheet every month. I have to create a database managing cases related to the employees. I have a database and the bounded form already created for the cases which also contain emp info fields. What I am trying to do is to only type in the emp id in the form and want the form to look up in the spreadsheet(which can be a table in the cases db) and populate other fields in the form and that information can go into the cases db. Can this be done?
I have set-up Postfix with Spamassassin on Ubuntu 12.04.5. Fundamental usage of Postfix is to (pipe) trigger a PHP file. Till here I've arrived successfully.
Now, to avoid unneccessary load on the server, and also to avoid unwanted mails triggering my PHP script, I want to configure Postfix to allow mails only from [email protected] and reject everything else.
How to achieve this absolute lock-down on mail server unless mail comes from [email protected]?
How can I manage Dell workstations with OpenManage Essentials ?
First, is it possible? Because iv read that only Dell servers can be managed with OME.
I would like to inventory each Dell workstations I have in my environment, and be able to see their service tag with warranty expiration, etc.
Or which product must I use to do this? There are so much Dell management products like OMCI, OMCC, ITA, etc!! I am so lost with all these products.
Hi all, the following is completely baffling me. We currently have a gentoo box which acts as our LAMP, DNS, DHCP server. This is assigned a static IP on the network. This server is connected directly to the internet via a BT BusinessHub Router. The server is also connected to a patch panel/switch port which connects the remaining office (around 10 PC's) to the server.
Everything has been plain sailing until the other day when the server was restarted. For some reason now only portions of network accessibility is available depending on which ethernet device was last restarted. Restarting net.eth0 allows the office server to cURL, ping, etc but stops all networked PC's from accessing the internet. Then restarting net.eth1 restores all internet to the network but stops the server from curling, pinging, etc again.
However, even when the server can't ping, curl, etc, I can still remote SSH and remote MySQL connect from the server command line to other external servers that we own.
Here's my route map (router is 192.168.1.254):

Active Directory up to 2008 network (our servers are a mix of 2008, 2003...)
I'm looking for a quick way to query AD to find out what users are locked out, preferably from a batch or script file, to monitor for possible issues with either user accounts being attacked by an automated attack or just anomalies in the network.
I've Googled and my Google-fu has failed; I found a query off Microsoft's own knowledgebase that cites a string to use on Server 2003 with the management snap-in's saved queries (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/555131) but when I entered it, the query returned 400 users that a spot-check showed did NOT have a checkmark in the "Account is locked out" box under "account." In fact, I don't see anything wrong with their accounts.
Is there a simple utility (wisesoft bulkadusers apparently uses this method behind the scenes, since it's results were also wrong) that will give a count of users and possibly their user object names? Script? Something?
On my Mac OS X machine, how would you recommend I install various software that's been ported from Linux? I don't install such software very frequently, but I've been using MacPorts and it always seems quite slow, presumably because it has to compile the packages on-the-fly.
I'd much prefer a package management system that has binary packages, saving me the need to compile things every time I want to download something new. I think Fink has binaries for some of the packages, but I usually see MacPorts recommended as the system to use.
Which do you think works better and why? (Or is there another system that I haven't heard of?)
My own console .net application stuck in a "ghost" stage. It just shows a window that i can't close. It doesn't show up as a process in the task manager.
when i try to "find windows process" using Process Explorer (from sysinternals) it says there is no process that owns that window or something like that.
The problem is that it doesn't allow me to logout or reboot the server (remotely) because logoff process keeps waiting on that window to close.
shutdown /r /f also is stuck waiting for it.
I can probably have somebody go an reboot the server but i'd like to know if there is a way to close that process, close that session or force logout remotely.
This is windows server 2003, but i had the same issue on XP just a few days ago.
We have a Startech KVM over IP model SV841HDI and it was stuck pointing a port where the machine has been removed. We ended up having to physically plug something into that port in order to switch ports again, meaning that if someone in support accidentally switches to an empty port, we need to have a documented solution for making it useable again.
The unit is old, no longer under warranty, firmware updates for it are no longer available (interestingly it runs a powerPC version of busybox). Since it does work well except for this one catch, we would like to avoid replacing it.
Reading the manual, you have a several recommended methods. I tried them. Hit the left CTRL key a few times (as well as all the other popular KVM keys I could think of). The VNC GUI offers lots of buttons - none of them switch away from a dead port.
The question is: how do I switch away from a dead port on this particular KVM remotely?
I have an Exchange 2010 UR3 deployment that I need to customize the OWA logon page for. I've created a new LGNTOPL.GIF file to replace the existing one in the folder:
“C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\V14\ClientAccess\Owa\14.3.158.1\themes\resources”
When I bring up OWA, I still get the original “Outlook Web App” logo. I’ve searched and found a couple of other instances of LGNTOPL.GIF in the directories:
“C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\V14\ClientAccess\Owa\14.3.123.3\themes\resources”
“C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\V14\ClientAccess\Owa\14.3.146.0\themes\resources”
“C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\V14\ClientAccess\Owa\Current\themes\resources”
I’ve replaced the LGNTOPL.GIF file in each of the above directories but got the same results. I’ve tried clearing my browser cache and even using multiple browsers from multiple PC’s but the same results. I’ve even tried making my GIF file the same pixel size as the original LGNTOPL.GIF logo but still the same results. I’ve tried restarting IIS on the CAS server and restarting the server but same results.
Has something changed with Exchange 2010 UR3 when trying to customize OWA? I don't see anything documented about any change to OWA customization.
Thanks
I have to ssh to a remote machine in Europe from Asia every day for my work. But Putty freezes sometimes at totally random times and I have no choice but to close and re-open a new ssh session. It's frustrating especially when I'm editing something or executing a long running program.
I know the question really doesn't have much details ('cause nothing seems to be wrong with the network at all). Has anyone experienced this sort of issue with Putty and had resolved it?
Thanks for your time!
