I've seen both of these listed, both being striped and mirrored across multiple drives, but is the a difference between them that I'm not picking up on?
On windows server 2003 when one user connects to the server via RDP the default printer of the server for her profile does not change to the redirected printer of the session.
This only happens with the one user all the other users default printers defaults to their session printer automatically.
I tried the following solution but there was no \Terminal Server\Printer Redirection in gpedit.msc
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc731963(v=ws.10).aspx
Computer Configuration\Policies\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Terminal Services\Terminal Server\Printer Redirection
Is there a different place to check the Printer Redirection?
I have a file that I'd like to reuse for a few different purposes. The file is 90% the same across uses, just slight differences. I'd rather not replicate the content across multiple files in puppet, so is there a way to do something like
file { "/tmp/file1" :
content => template("module/template.erb")
}
file { "/tmp/file2" :
content => template("module/template.erb")
}
And in the template:
Jack
John
James
<% if file == "/tmp/file2" %>
Jim
<% end %>
How do you install any visualizer other than the default visualizer that ships with iTunes 10 in Windows 7. I've tried placing qtz files in my C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\iTunes\iTunes Plug-ins folder and restarting iTunes, but of course no other visualizers can be selected.
Common visualizers that I would like to install include those found here
I'm of course aware that some of these are Mac OS only due to library dependencies - I would still like to know if it's possible to install any visualizer other than the default for iTunes in Windows 7
I have multiple computers, some have a 10/100 ethernet adapter while others have a 10/100/1000 ones. If I connect them together with the Cisco sg100-08 switch, do I keep the 1Gbit speed where possible (between two devices at 1Gbit speed) or the whole lan slows down to 100mbit? I checked Cisco website but I couldn't find this kind of information, nor I was able to register to the Cisco support to ask this question (the registration form does not work)
Hey Guys,
Is it a bad idea to put Exchange and Sql Server on a same box?
We have about 4-5 GB database and 10 users for exchange, can this work?
Thanks
When monitoring the Transactions/Sec using perfmon on one of my SQL2005 replicated databases - I'm seeing the TPS increase to 1000 and then immediately drop back down again - this happens every 5 seconds.
I'm not sure what's causing this - is this something to do with replication?
We also have asynchronous statistics set on this particular database.
I've tried profiling when the users are not connected - but nothing is writing to the database.

I have a GhostCast server running for deploying images. I would like to have each ghost cast session to write to a file ( can be multiple text files or append to one file already there ) statistics. I know this is possible based on the options GhostCast software provides for writing to a log file, but I would like this automated for every image being backed up and restored. I don't want to have my employees click write to a new file every time.
Is this possible?
I have a shared system, running Windows7 X64, restricted to a 'standard user' with no password.
Not everyone who has access to the system has the administrator password.
This works rather well, except for some applications - specially the unlock-applications for encrypted hard drives/USB flash drives. The specific ones either require Administrator access (eg. Seagate Blackarmor) or simply fail without it -- since these programs are sending raw commands to a device, this is to be expected.
I would like to be able to add the hashes of these particular programs to a whitelist, and have them run as administrator without needing any prompts. Since these are by definition on removable media, I can't simply use a filename or even a path.
One of the users who shares the system can be considered 'crafty', so anything which temporarily grants administrator rights to an user account is certain to cause problems.
What i'd like to be able to do:
1) Create an admin account that can only run programs from a whitelist (or, failing that, from a directory)
I can't find a good way to do this:
As far as I can tell, SRP applies equally to ALL users?
Even if I put a "Deny" token on all directories on the system, such that new directories would inherit it, it could still potentially run things from the mounted USB devices. I also don't know whether it's possible to create a new directory that DOESN'T inherit from the parent, that would lake the deny token, and provide admin access.
2) Find a lightweight service that will run these programs in its local context
Windows7 seems to block cross-privilege level communication by default, and I haven't found such for windows 7.
One example seems to be "sudo" (http://pages.cpsc.ucalgary.ca/~nfriess/sudo/) but because it uses a WLNOTIFY hook, it won't work under Vista nor Windows7
Non-Solutions:
- RunAs: Requires administrator password! (but everyone calls it "sudo" anyway)
- RunAs /savecred: Nice idea, but appears to be completely insecure.
- RUNASSPC - Same concept as RunAs, uses "encrypted" files with credentials, but checks in user-space.
- Scheduled Tasks - "Fixed" permissions make this difficult, and doesn't support interactive processes even if it did.
- SuRun: From Google: "Surun uses its own Windows service that adds the user to the group of administrators during program start and removes him automatically from that group again"
in a directory with multiple sub directories I need to change filenames that have the "_" character to a another character "."
example
Current filename: ABC12345_DEF
Change to filename: ABC12345.DEF
I need to do this recursively through a directory tree.
the last three characters of the filename are not always the same.
using rename wildcards on either side of the "_" or "." doesn't work (plus I need to do this through several directories)
I'm looking to get a fault-tolerant USB flash drive, which saves data to multiple independent locations, whether using RAID or some other means to back up data. Has a product like this ever been created, or are my only options to hack something together?
(By the way: I'm aware that RAID doesn't prevent data corruption from software or the file system. I'm just looking for something that can handle one of the memory sticks going dead.)
We're using Microsoft Outlook 2003/2007 with NON-EXHCANGE mailboxes, stored in PST files.
Is there a way to quickly add a large number of senders from the inbox to the users contact list?
I was thinking to export all the senders from the inbox in the PST file to a list and then so use scripting to add them all to the contact list, or perhaps arrange in CSV and import.
Any advice is highly appreciated.
I want to load balance outbound emails between 3 post-fix gateways for sending mails only reason is to use multiple different source IPs to increase throughput & inbox delivery. Each gateway should receive an approximately equal amount of outbound messages.
How is it possible please suggest.

Got a problem with a mysql server installation on Debian. (Not my server so I have no idea what caused this...)
Installing new applications that add a database fail with error:
ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: YES)
I can log in with the user, I've flushed permissions...
Then I can across this question:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1709078/how-can-i-restore-the-mysql-root-users-full-privileges
But when I try to stop mysql, it fails with
error: 'Access denied for user 'debian-sys-maint'@'localhost' (using password: YES)'
Hi,
I want to deploy an Active Directory. There are some users of an other A.D. domain that should get access to the computers that will be part of my own A.D. domain. Can I configure this?
Thanks,

We use the stats package SPSS through App-V however although it allows use of custom dialogs and macros, these must be placed in a sub folder within the app installation and so this means that users cannot add new macros.
Is it possible to have an App-V package include a symbolically linked folder to point to a different place so that this remote folder could be updated easily without necessitating a rebuild and redeployment of the package?
Thanks
I want to build a linux machine to use as a test server (LAMP) and use SVN on it.
I am thinking maybe Ubantu as the OS but what hardware specs would I need. I think the entire site is less than a gig but if SVN is going to keep multiple versions than wouldnt I need a huge hard drive?
Any tips would be nice.
Thanks!!
I've been working on a Microsoft Excel 2007 spreadsheet for several days. I'm working from a master template like sheet and copying it to a new sheet repeatedly. Up until today, this was happening with no issues. However, in the middle of today this suddenly changed and I do not know why. Now, whenever I try to copy a worksheet I get about ten dialogs, each one with a different name range object (shown below as 'XXXX') and I click yes for each one:
A formula or sheet you want to move or copy contains the name 'XXXX', which already exists on the destination worksheet. Do you want to use this version of the name?
To use the name as defined in destination sheet, click Yes.
To rename the range referred to in the formula or worksheet, click No, and enter a new name in the Name Conflict dialog box.
The name range objects refer to cells in the sheet. For example, E6 is called name range PRE on multiple sheets (and has been all along) and some of the formulas refer to PRE instead of $E$6. One of the 'XXXX' above is this PRE. These name ranges should only be resolved within the sheet within which they appear. This was not an issue before despite the same name range existing on multiple sheets before. I want to keep my name ranges.
What could have changed in my spreadsheet to cause this change in behavior? I've gone back to prior sheets created this way and now they give the message too when copied. I tried a different computer and a different user and the same behavior is seen everywhere. I can only conclude something in the spreadsheet has changed. What could this be and how can I get back the old behavior whereby I can copy sheets with name ranges and not get any errors?
Looking in the Name Manager I see that the name ranges being complained about show twice, once as scope Template and again as scope Workbook. If I delete the scope Template ones the error goes away on copy however, I get a bunch of #REF errors. If I delete the scope Workbook ones, all seems okay and the errors on copy go away too, so perhaps this is the answer, but I'm nervous about what effect this deletion will have and wonder how the Workbook ones came into existence in the first place.
Will it be safe to just delete the Workbook name manager scoped entries and how might these have come into existence without my knowing it to begin with?
Our password policy makes users change pw every 30 days, when this happens they sometimes find they are logged on with a local profile and none of their settings. This generally only happens when the PC was slow at logging onto the network, but in this case I know it had plenty of time to do so.
I can't work out why this is happening, is it related to a slow link?
It's possible I am unable to resolve this because I have been spoiled in other DEV environments where I had one database server for each reporting server.
I need some advise on how to point a single SQL Server reporting server to multiple database servers. These databases correspond to DEV, TEST and QA environments.
The way the reporting is currently configured I am unable to toggle between environments gracefully.
Any advise would be greatly appreciated.
My company is evaluating a plan to migrate from Windows to Linux.
Can you suggest something in Linux analogous to roaming user profiles and domain users in an Active Directory environment?
I’m looking for an affordable solution to offer a “self-service” password reset portal on the web for my active directory users. (about 150 of them)
Many of them don’t use Windows workstations and therefore can’t reset there own password.
I’ve been Googling, and have found so many options, that I’m not sure how to sort them all out. Has anyone had positive (or negative) experiences with any particular products?
When I upgrade or reinstall linux I backup my home folder by running sudo cp -pr /home/users/yitzchak /media/externalHDD/backups. When I do this I get errors saying that permissions could not be preserved and when I copy the folder back onto my local disk I see that ownership has been changed to root and I have to chown all of them back, which has to be done manually piecemeal because not all files have the same group. Is there any way around that?
I was trying to follow the instructions found here to set up a catch-all account, but still I get the following message for mails sent to non-existent users:
The error that the other server returned was: 550 550 5.1.1 [email protected]... User unknown (state 14).
Everything else works, though... /etc/mail/local-host-names and /etc/mail/virtusertable were set up as instructed. Any advice? Thanks!
