Hi, What is the maximum number of users who can connect to an IIS Web
site installation on Win XP Pro?
|
|
|
|
|
That depends on what else the machine is doing, and how many people are already logged into the machine. By default, in a perfect world, the limit is 10. Your machine setup and circumstances at any one time will dictate less. In my experience, that limit is more like 3-6. This is because each user can have multiple connections to the server, downloading various pieces of the same page at the same time.

Hi, I have set Do not allow application to run in gpedit.msc except my application. Then I want to reset this setting but I can not run gpedit.msc anymore. Can anyone help me related to this problem as soon as posible?
Thank

If you can stil open a CMD prompt, you can launch it using START GPEDIT.MSC. If your talking about the "Run only allow Windows applications" policy, that stop Explorer from launching application, not the command prompt. You can also try the Task Manager's File menu, New Task (Run...) option to do the same.

Why?
Thanks for all...

Try to read an article[^] cisco product. It might give you some idea relate to your 3com product. On the other hand, i suggest you to read the product documentation for more detail.

I am wanting to set up a domain controler for a small network (9 machines).
What info I have is lacking and am looking for some guidance references. I think I know the concepts, but have never actually set any domains up. The controler seams to be correct from what I can tell from it's control panels, but no other machines recognise the domain, when I try to switch from work group to domain. I do not mind reading and spending some time at this. But preferably a few days and not months.

If no other machines recognise the domain, it's probably because they aren't able to resolve the DNS name. You need to make all your machines' primary and only DNS server be the domain controller, assuming that your domain controller is the domain's DNS server. The DC's own primary DNS server in its network connection properties should be itself. Again, the secondary DNS server field should be blank, unless you actually do have a secondary DNS server with the same contents.
Make sure that your domain controller has a static IP address so that you can enter this as the DNS server address on the clients, or in your DHCP server software if you're using DHCP.
To ensure that your other computers can still resolve DNS names outside your domain, you need to tell the DNS server software where to forward requests to. In the DNS snap-in, go to the server properties, the Forwarders tab. Enter your ISP's DNS servers here.
Stability. What an interesting concept. -- Chris Maunder

Thank you, Mike.
I think I have done everything you mention in the first two paragraphs. I have to relook at the forwarders tab. But I would think that would just not let the see the outside world.
I know I need to read a little more. Obviously I am missing something. Just not sure what to read.
Do you know what impact I have if my domain does exist outside in the real world? I added home. to the front of it. i.e. home.barnhart.com.
Thanks again, I appreciate the response. Lets me know I not totally off.

For the record, I found an incorrect entry in the WINS settings that was the above problem. So progress but all is not well.
When I try (and I am only working with on client test box at this time.) I fail to "find the network path" when I try to join. I do get a login request for username/password. After making an entry I get the error message a 1/2 minute later. To note the same error occures no matter what I give for the username and password. I have tried the admin account and my account with and with out the @domain for the usernames (in addition to one garbage entry.)
Now:
From the MS Knowledgebase: SYMPTOMS You are unable to add your Windows 2000 Professional or Windows 2000 Server computer to an Active Directory domain. When you specify the domain to join, you receive the following error message:
The following error occurred when attempting to join "domain name". The network path was not found
CAUSE This behavior can occur if you are using an incorrect Internet Protocol (IP) address for the Domain Name Service (DNS) server.
RESOLUTION To resolve this behavior, use the correct DNS server IP address and then join the domain.
MORE INFORMATION Click Start, point to Settings, point to Network and Dialup Connections, and then click Local Area Connection.
Click Properties.
Click Internet Protocol (TCP/IP), and then click Properties.
Click Advanced, and then click DNS.
Select the incorrect DNS IP address, and click Edit.
Type the correct IP address for the DNS server, and then click OK.
Click OK on the open dialog boxes to close them, and then click Close.
I have been through all of these settings several times and see nothing wrong. To test I did ping the domain controler with both the ip address and the domain name. Full response with both option. That tells me the DNS setup is correct, RIGHT?
I ask is there any other tests I can make from a "client" box to test the dns setup?
Am I missing the correct format of the username to login?
Thanks for reading.

Get out the CD for the server and install the Support Tools. Then run dcdiag to test the domain controller (assuming that the server is the DC). Also run netdiag from the same toolset. These run some tests against the machine to determine whether the network settings are correct and if the DC is functioning. It's a good start, anyway, and usually yields some good clues about where to search next.

Yes, First I clearly do not understand the relationship between the dhcp service and the dns service.
For my testing enviroment my dsl router does provide dhcp capability. I turned off the dhcp on the server and back to where I started (could not fine the domain controler).
Ok turn it back on and configure the DHCP service. Ok, back to can not join due to "find the network path" again.
Running the dcdiag does give me some message but it is trimmed off.
" Event String: The DHCP/BINL service has determined that it is"
Do I have to have the DHCP server running on the same box? I would think not.
In either case is it best to turn off dhcp on the dsl/cable routers when setting up a domain controler and using it's dhcp?

Only one DHCP server can exist on a network, but it doesn't matter which one you use particularly. One advantage of using the router DHCP is that it can update hosts with new configuration info - your ISP's DNS and Gateway server addresses, for instance - when and if they change. One advantage of using Win2K's DHCP is that it can automatically update your DNS if the address of a host on your network changes. Since that's unlikely, I'd use the router for DHCP and disable the service in Win2K.
Try using dcdiag > dcdiag.txt to get it to write to a text file, then view the file. That should eliminate the truncation. You can also use dnscmd.exe to view dns records by zone and check that there is a DC record for the domain controller.

I've never found a decent reference, despite running a Win2K server for years and having purchased several books on the system. It never worked right, and every Microsoft article I found by searching the KB was irrelevant or ineffective. I remain convinced, however, that making the DNS system work correctly is the key to making everything else work properly, and that remains a mystery. Dump WINS and the DHCP service if you don't have old computers on your network, and focus on making DNS work. Active Directory depends on it, and you can add back those services if you really want to later.

I definitly believe that is true.

Already done. Just had missed some clean up. The only old machine left can be shot or it is ok that it just gets to the outside world and a printer for guest users.
Thanks for the words of wisdom.

Hi, a friend of mine has a problem with his new scanner and windows xp. He told me that the first time that he plug a scanner to his system, its ask for a device driver. Then he install the driver successfully and could use it as normal. If he don't use the scanner and unplug for one hour and plug again it work fine too but the problem is when he unplug for 2 or 3 days and use it again, it always ask to install the device driver as the first time that the scanner plug to the system. I can't discover this problem and does any people have any idea with this problem?

Well, for any Plug and Play hardware, you always install the software FIRST, then plug the hardware in.
In this case, I'd probably start by unstinstalling the software and disconnecting the scanner. I'd then go to the manufacturer's site and see if there is an updated version of the software/drivers. Then I'd check to see if there are any known issues in their KB. Then I'd reinstall the software and LASTLY plug the scanner back in.

Thank you very much for your comment. I will try to do as your suggestion and check the website of the scanner vedor if they are post any KB article relate to this product.

Where is it? Technet won't cough up an answer, and even Google is stumped. That pesky router from my ISP doesn't block Messenger packets, and overnight someone loaded up the server with messages. I disabled the service this morning, but I know there must be a file somewhere that holds all the as yet undelivered messages received overnight. Any clues?
