Does anyone know an easy way to write files to a DVD from the command line. I've found a program that does it for CDs, and another that writes .ISO images to DVD.
I want to use it to write files to a backup DVD overnight.
Is it possible to dual boot between Ubuntu and W7.vhd? If anyone knows please tell me how.
if you can answer to [email protected] would be perfect. Thanks
I'm using r.js as a build tool but as of today that tools doesn't give me the ability to delete empty folders in the build dir. I've found these two scripts
for /f "usebackq" %%d in ("dir /ad/b/s | sort /R") do rd "%%d"
for /f "delims=" %%i in ('dir /s /b /ad ^| sort /r') do rd "%%i">NUL
looking around the net but i always get
%%i was unexpected at this time.
or
%%d was unexpected at this time.
And i wouldn't know how to tell the script where my directory is.
My build script is
@echo off
where /q r.js || (
echo requirejs node package is not installed. You must install node, npm and then run npm install -g requirejs
goto :eof
)
node r.js -o app.build.js
:end
I need to tell the script to remove all empty directories which are located inside ../../js
Just did a clean install of Win7 x64. I have a Microsoft Ergo Keyboard 4000 and use the calculator key a lot. Previously I could hit it and get multiple copies of calculator to popup. Now it will only show one copy of calculator. I tried adding a shortcut to the calculator app but it has the same limitation. However if I click the calculator icon it will open a new one each time.
How can I fix this so each time I press the calculator key it will open a new copy?
I've got a daemon process that I run on my machine every hour, and even though I've checked the Hidden box, it doesn't work.
Every hour, the task runs, but it shows the black command window, in which my .NET Console app is running. This stays visible until the task completes, and then disappears. This is very annoying, because it pops up and interrupts whatever I'm doing:
I really do want it hidden, so how can I fix this?
Do I really need to split the single file into multiple files first? Shouldn't there be a one-step utility that lets you burn a CD and define track points at the same time?
We have a few folders that are set to replicate to a DR file server off-site. One of these folders contains a file that is a TrueCrypt volume container.
When this file is mounted in TrueCrypt, the file won't replicate (fair enough!).
I'm looking at alternatives to improve this situation.
One solution I currently have is to have a scheduled task to unmount the volume and then every morning as the volume is needed, have someone mount it. This is a pain slightly because the password is known by a few people (I'm not one and neither are my colleagues who would be performing the mounting operation) so we'd need to continually get them to come over and type it in.
The other I had was to have one TrueCrypt container on each server and replicate the contents when they are mounted. I wasn't able to get TrueCrypt to see the mounted volume so I guess this is a no go.
Any other solutions I have missed or a fix for the above?
I am looking for a way with which i can autostart a certain program on logon of a user with user-rights with administrator-rights.
I already tried using task scheduler but it didn't work out because you got to enter a username with format machine\user and our pxe-image-deployment-system automatically patches the machine names so the entered domain\user stopped working.
UPDATE:
the runas.exe command does not seem appropiate for this task, too.
If using /user:machinename\Administrator /savcred it is invalid after imaging.
What one user suggested was using .\Administrator or localhost\Administrator but both didn't work on my XP SP3 machines.
Unfortunately I can't really give much more information unless anybody can suggest where I should look for logs or dumps etc?
Simply put, when I load the program I immediately get the error "Pinta Has Stopped Working".
I have tried:
Running as administrator
Installing to different partitions
Installing to folders with no spaces in directory structure
I have installed the GTK# for .Net 2.12.9 as required in order to install Pinta.
Thanks for any help!
One commandline tool per answer :)
WalkOnLAN
This small command line utility makes
possible to switch on a computer from
a second one by sending a "Magic
Packet". Both of computers can be
located on the same LAN or on the
different LAN segments.
Anything else?
I have a shortcut in some folder, I want to add it to quick launch bar. I tried to drag and drop it but it doesn't let me (I was able to do it in WinXP). How do I add a shortcut to my quick launch bar?
I have a scheduled task that runs a script on a ahem schedule ahem that updates a local git repo. This script is a file in this local git repo.
Currently, what I'm seeing is that the script is ran, git complains that permissions are denied to write to file which actually results in the script being deleted! The next time the scheduled task runs the script file is now missing!
How can I ensure that when I pull changes to this script from the repo that the file is actually updated?

I believe the above XML custom filter would work if I wanted to check for Events where "Data" equals the word "Error". However, what I want to express is that I want the Events where Data CONTAINS the word "Error" . . . how do I express that?
I've Goggled around, but I can find no references to Regular Expression like pattern matching in the Event Viewer. XPath has "contains", but if Event Viewer will support it, I cannot seem to figure out the syntax for invoking it.
I have set up Cerberus FTP server. By default, Cerberus FTP service runs under SYSTEM ACCOUNT.
Also I have some console applications which run as scheduled tasks. They are running under a dedicated "Utilities" user account which has "Log on as batch job" permissions. These console applications take uploaded FTP files, process them and then move them to some dedicated archive folder.
The problem is that my console apps are throwing Security exceptions when trying to acces the uploaded files. I tried to give the Full control permissions on the ftproot folder for my "Utilities" account and I have checked that "Replace all Child object permissions with inheritable permissions from this object" checkbox, but it affects only current files. When new files are uploaded, they again are not accessible by my "Utilities" account.
I tried to go another way and put Cerberus FTP service under "Utilities" account. Then I also needed to give "Utilities" account permissions on Cerberus Data folder in ProgramData. Still no luck - after this operation, Cerberus internal SOAP web service stopped working (although everything else seems to work). I need that SOAP service to be available, so running the Cerberus FTP under "Utilities" account seems to be not an option. Unless I find out, what else do I need to set up for that "Utilities" account to stop Cerberus from complaining.
I guess, Cerberus is uploading files to some temporary folder and so those files get the permissions form that folder and keep the same permissions even after moved to the ftproot.
What would be the right solution for this which would grant Cerberus FTP server and the "Utilities" account minimal needed permissions to access the contents of the ftproot folder?
I don't have floppy drive on my computer.
Is there any way that i can make the password reset disk in a folders so that when i lose my passowrd then i can choose that folder to work as password reset disk.
Is there any other option available beside Floppy drive
After running Win 7 for some unknown period of time, the taskbar icon highlight starts to stick (video demo here: http://screencast.com/t/l5LhJ2uM). If I restart or kill explorer.exe and relaunch, it goes away.
Any idea what might be causing this?
Hi,
I have a Microsoft Small Business Server.
I have pointed an external domain name to the external fixed IP address for the server.
In routing and remote access I have defined a service for our subversion server as follows:
Incoming port: 8443
Private address: 192.168.10.5
Outgoing port: 8443
192.168.10.5 is our development server, not the SBS (which is at 192.168.10.1)
This rule works correctly if I am not on our internal network. However if I am on the internal network this rule does not get applied.
What can I do/set so this rule is applied both internally and externally (so users with laptops et, don't keep having to change the URL by which they access the subversion server)
Not sure what other info you may need, so please let me know if more details are required.

I store all my data and the most of applications (those legally available in "portable" versions) on drive D: and only use drive C: for the Windows system and some heavily integrated applications like MS Office, Visual Studio, Adobe Reader, Flash Player etc. When I was using Windows XP, 50 GiB drive C: was more than enough. Now, as I've mitigated to Windows 7, it hardly is.
Yesterday as I've checked, 7 GiBs were free on drive C:. Then I've installed fresh Windows updates (which were just some tens of MiBs to download) and checked again: now there are only 2 GiBs free. Where have 5 GiBs gone?
PS: Don't be surprised my system installation takes actually that much: I've got Visual Studio and SQL Server with complete offline documentation library, but that doesn't explain where does free space disappear on simple Windows updates.
PPS: I use an augmented CCleaner version to clean my PC every day, so there are for sure no temporary internet files of recycle bin trash files taking the place.
Some OEM include energy saving apps that can switch off certain devices such as webcam or optical drive. Is there any brand-agnostic app out there that can do it? If the list of disabled device is customizable, it would be useful too for mitigating DMA attack (disabling Firewire, PCMCIA, SDIO, Thunderbolt, etc). Even better if it can recognize lock/logoff event, to mimic OSX behavior in mitigating the DMA attack.
hi!
I hope I reached the correct forum for this question.
I have a media computer with a third party audio card (Soundblaster audigy SE)
I use a coaxial digital audio cable connected to a Onkyo TX SR508.
if I use normal audio, the sound seems very low, I have to set volume atleast to 62 in my amplifier to hear anything, however if I set digital SPDIF I have no means of controlling the audio volume from the PC (only from the amplifier) and this can be nasty if I toggle between movies that uses Digital AC3/THX and movies wihtouth, if I look at movies capable of AC3 the volume gets VERY loud if amp is set to 62, 32 is more than enough volume when using passthrough.
so this bothers me is how can I get the same amount of volume with or without digital output?
I tried also other soundcards, internal red light Digital audio cable...
if I connect to my television I get ok sound on any sound source via HDMI...
help :)
A co-worker of mine is using an air-card. It prompted him to install software in the notification tray, but he clicked on the wrong thing and the icon went away without him installing that software. How can I get that icon back? He can't install the software then. I know that you can download the software from the site, but we did that and were having issues from that too.
Restarting and trying again doesn't pop up the notification either.
Thanks.
this is by far one of the strangest things I have seen. I have a win 2008R2 cluster with a CSV. the CSV itself is on an iSCSI storage (hitachi HUS 110)
basic config of the two hosts in the cluster is
Dell R610
Win 2008 R2 with all patches
64GB
1 NIC for host access
2 NICs for guest access
2 NICs for iSCSI
these machine work great and I can load a 2008R2 test guest machine on them in less than 90 seconds
after the above config is running for over a year, I now need to add a new host.
now the host is
Dell R620 (Still intel but different CPU)
Win 2008 R2 with all patches
64GB
1 NIC for host access
2 NICs for guest access
2 NICs for iSCSI
I added this new host to the domain and to the cluster, I gave it access to the CSV
and I tried loading the same guest machine that loads in 90 seconds in the other hosts. the machine loads in about 6 minutes. no matter how many times I try this the old hosts load the machine in about 90 seconds and this new host in around 6 minutes
to eliminate any problems with the iSCSI connection, I added a new LUN and directly accessed it from the new host and I was working at around 300MB/s so no problem there.
I also tested the connection between the other hosts and the new one and network is working fine there too.
to eliminate problems in HyperV, I copied the machine to the local disk of the new host and it loaded in less than 20 seconds.
now is the point were things get a lot stranger:
in my tests I tried installing a fresh windows guest machine to the CSV from the new host. I noticed that while the fresh windows was installing, my test guest was loading in less than 90 seconds even on the new host (I repeated this a few times). If I paused the fresh install guest and tried loading the test guest again it loaded in 6 minutes. and again after I resumed the guest installation the test guest loaded fast.
after the fresh windows was also loaded, I ran tests loading the fresh window and my test machine. each one of them loaded in about 5 minutes when I tried loading them separately. however when I started both of them in the same time they both loaded in around 2.5 minutes
it seems that the iSCSI disk access is only working if it is under some load (although I never got to above 10% utilization according to the task manager)
does anyone have any idea what could be the problem?
