How to configure non-admin users to allow them to install updates for Java and Adobe Acrobat Reader without needing for administrator password on Windows 7. Updates for Microsoft products install without problems.
This can be Active Directory (Windows 2003) solution, or computer based (employable through GPO or login script).
Hello. I just restarted my Windows 7 PC to find all my pinned shortcuts have disappeared from the start menu and taskbar. I've looked here
"C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch\User Pinned"
And it seems the shortcuts are still there. Is there maybe a service that isn't running, which is causing this problem? Thanks.
Since I installed Windows 8 Preview on my personal computer, during the installation of some programs and drivers(Windows 7 ones) started to pop me a message warning that .Net Framework 3.5 was needed:
I could use "Install this feature", start to download some dependencies(300MB) and that's it, but I don't want to have to download it every time I want to enable this feature on every machine that I install Windows 8.
There is some way to install .Net 3.5 on Windows 8 without having to download the entire Framework from Microsoft?

I recently had to have Microsoft Office 2003 re-installed on my computer.
Suddenly I have duplicate contacts, while some contacts that were even more recently added are not accessible through the TO: area of email messages I want to send.
Can anyone help with this?
Thanks.
I am experiencing problems migrating from Exchange 2003 to Exchange 2010. I am on the first step: installing a new 2010 Client Access Server role.
The Active Directory domain functional level is 2003. All domain controllers are 2003 R2.
The only existing Exchange 2003 server happens to be housed on one of the domain controllers. It is running Exchange 2003 Standard w/ SP2.
IPv6 is enabled and working on all domain controllers, servers, and routers, including this new Exchange server.
After installing the CAS role on a new 2008 R2 server (Hyper-V VM) I am receiving 2114 Events:
Process MSEXCHANGEADTOPOLOGYSERVICE.EXE (PID=1600). Topology discovery failed, error 0x80040a02 (DSC_E_NO_SUITABLE_CDC). Look up the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) error code specified in the event description. To do this, use Microsoft Knowledge Base article 218185, "Microsoft LDAP Error Codes." Use the information in that article to learn more about the cause and resolution to this error. Use the Ping or PathPing command-line tools to test network connectivity to local domain controllers.
Prior to each, I receive the following 2080 Event:
Process MSEXCHANGEADTOPOLOGYSERVICE.EXE (PID=1600). Exchange Active Directory Provider has discovered the following servers with the following characteristics:
(Server name | Roles | Enabled | Reachability | Synchronized | GC capable | PDC | SACL right | Critical Data | Netlogon | OS Version)
In-site:
b.company.intranet CDG 1 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0
s.company.intranet CDG 1 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0
Out-of-site:
a.company.intranet CD- 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
o.company.intranet CD- 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
g.company.intranet CD- 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
Connectivity between the new Exchange server and all domain controllers via IPv4 and IPv6 are all working. I have verified that the new Exchange server is a member of the following groups:
Exchange Servers
Exchange Domain Servers
Exchange Install Domain Servers
Exchange Trusted Subsystem
Heck, I even put the new Exchange server into Domain Admins just to see if it would help. It didn't.
I can't find any evidence of Active Directory replication problems, all pre-setup Setup tasks (/PrepareLegacyExchangePermissions, /PrepareSchema, /PrepareAD, /PrepareDomain) completed successfully. The only problem so far that I haven't been able to resolve with my Active Directory is I am unable to get my IPv6 subnets into Sites and Services
Where should I proceed from here?
When seeing the Windows Server 2008 R2 edition comparision by Role, i noticed that there is an entry for Application Server separate from that of IIS.
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserver2008/en/us/r2-compare-roles.aspx
What is confusing me is that for Web edition, "Application Server" is not ticked but IIS is ticked.
Isnt IIS both the web server and the application server in Windows?
And if so, if i take the web edition, can i not host my business components (WCF services)on it because it is not an "Application Server" ?
Sometimes it is useful to have e-mail address like [email protected], where randomnumber identifies the conversation between a robot such as a mailing list server and a user. Is this possible with Microsoft Exchange?
I'm looking to find a way to update some Windows Defender settings via command line, gpo etc.
From my research it looks like windows defender creates a hidden scheduled task named 'MP Scheduled Scan', but modifying this task does not seem to make a difference as to what shows up in the Windows Defender UI.
I have also done some process monitoring to see what data Windows Defender uses and I can see that it reads/writes to the 'HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows Defender\Scan' ScheduleDay key, but if I attempt to modify this key, I get an "Error Writing the new values contents" error message.
I have a problem in Adaptec 160m SCSI card connected to DELL Power Edge server, that it is often stops communicating. In windows system error I am able to see an error pointing to the SCSI driver continuously. The error says:
The driver detected a controller error on \Device\Scsi\adpu160m4.
For more information, see Help and Support Center at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp.
Can anyone suggest me what to do to solve it?
On Windows Server 2008 R2, my IT administrator has installed a certificate using the windows certificate management tool. The certificate is for *.thedomain.com. He set it up as not exportable for security reasons: I'm not suposed to be able to put my hands on the certificate.
This configuration would allow me to use the certificate with microsoft products, but not to go away with the certificate.
Q: It there a way to configure Apache 2 to use this certificate "the windows way"?
I'm using a startup script to deploy Microsoft Office 2007 Standard. It's not working quite right and I'm trying to find logging information for it. Unfortunately, no log is being generated by setup. I've tried configuring the log at %temp%\, C:\, %systemroot%\temp and leaving it at defaults, all to no avail. Nothing is showing up in the event logs, either. Is there anywhere else I can go to look for information on what's going on with the installer?
A friend of mine has purchased a new laptop (Toshiba) with Windows 7 installed and has also purchased Outlook 2007 and atttmped to install it - the install worked ok, but I think he may have selected Exchange server when installing the first time - now it will not start, displaying message like "Your Microsoft Exchange Server is unavailable "
Outlook 2007 should have been configued for Pop3 as he has a hotmail account, but Outlook will not load "offline" and despite me de-installing, re-installing, running repair, I cannot get it to load to a point where I can add a new email account.
If any one has any ideas on this, I would apprecaite the help
Thanks,
Bob

This is almost certainly a dumb question, but... say I have Windows 7, with some anti-virus software installed, and I am using Microsoft's Windows XP Mode to run some legacy applications as well. Is there any reason why I would want to install an anti-virus program in XP mode as well?
I have been trying to find a way to use the hostname assigned in DHCP to rename a PC after we image it. I found some sample code from Microsoft's web site for C++, but I don't program so it is all greek to me. Any help would be appreciated.
I followed the steps here to set up Sharepoint integration with reporting services (SSRS) using native mode. (i.e., get a report explorer and viewer web parts)
However after adding the cabinet file e.g.,
STSADM.EXE -o addwppack -filename "C:\ Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\100\Tools\Reporting Services\SharePoint\RSWebParts.cab" -globalinstall
I still don't see report explorer in the web parts list. I'm very stuck and confused :-(
Hi there,
I have running a Windows XP SP3 Machine and I can't login after I have locked my Workstation. I changed my password and installed last Updates from Microsoft last Friday.
When Windows comes up, there is no problem to login. But after I locked it, it tells me that my password is wrong.
I pushed the client again into the domain, but doesn't help.
Thanks,

How do I pick a custom font using Lyx? All I see are options to pick Roman/Serif/Typewriter and then a few preset faces, but I have hundreds of fonts on my system and want to be able to use them! Don't make me resort to Microsoft Word!
Thanks!
I am having trouble finding such functionalities in Microsoft Powerpoint 2003. I tried googling it but no luck either. Does it exist? Is there an easy way to find keywords in a group of Powerpoint presentation files? Thanks in advance.
I've wrote a simple batch file to connect to a specific VPN connection using RASDIAL
rasdial MyVPNConnection
but it always returned the error
691 Access denied because username and/or password is invalid on the
domain.
Remote Access Service (RAS) Error Code List
then i tried pointing to my Remote Access Phonebook (Rasphone.pbk) and see what happens
rasdial MyVPNConnection /phonebook:%userprofile%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Network\Connections\Pbk\rasphone.pbk
and still there was an error 691.
I've then unchecked the following
but still the same problem was reported when executing my batch file.
Webcams and headphones from Microsoft (like for example the LifeChat ZX-6000, in my case) have a button which can be used only with Windows Live Messenger, to answer a call.
There is no option provided to configure it so that it would launch a program, or work in another communicator, in the given drivers.
Is there a way to make it work with Skype, so that I can answer a call by pressing this button? Maybe there are other drivers?
Hi.
I am using a Microsoft wireless phone ear piece and I have had the receiver plugged into the USB port on the Left Hand side. I have been getting intermittent success with the signal.
I have recently tried plugging it in to one of the ports on the top Right Hand side, and it seems that I am getting a better signal.
Is there a difference between the ports?
Thanks.
