Like I told you in your OTHER post of the same question, you have no way of knowing and no way of testing for this. If security is that big a deal, you simply have no choice but to NOT use a public machine.

Hi Folks,
Trying to get a Windows VM together that will be used on multiple machines. I want to store it on an mobile HD and plug it into various Host systems.
How can I do this without requiring reactivation every time (connectivity could be limited)? Is there a edition/version of XP designed for this?
Thanks
Davy

I would have thought the VM's "hardware" is abstract enough that you wouldn't need to reactivate when moving the VHD around from PC to PC? 
Have you thought about trying Microsoft's Virtual Server instead? We have 2 VMs on the vertual server and anyone on the network can use Remote Desktop or Virtual Remote Client to access it.

I'd hoped so too but it noticed the Intel to AMD switch  It should be back to the original PC within 3 days so may not need activation.
Yeah RDP is a possibility but I am aiming not to rely on the network.
Thanks,

Which VM(s) (ie qemu, xen, VMware, VirtualPC, etc) have you tried already?
Another option for you, depending upon what you're trying to run, might be for you to 1) install Linux or BSD in your VM, and 2) install WINE in your VM. Assuming that your application(s) will run in WINE.

VMWare - Virtual PC is an option but as it doesn't emulate the processor it would probably have the same problem.
Thanks but it is my full development environment so probably a bit much for WINE

Hello,
Is it possible to login to a remote PC as its Local System Administator?
Example, we have PC1 and PC2 in a network. In PC1 I'm logged in as administrator remotely from my PC. So now I have PC1's desktop in my desktop (remote desktop using Dameware). From this remote desktop's Start - Run I'm trying to access a folder in PC2, but I get a prompt for username and password. If I enter PC2's local Administrator User name/Password, is it possible to access that folder in PC2?
PC1 has Windows Server
PC2 and my PC has Windows XP
Regards,
Blumen

You can do that, if the system is set up to allow the admin account to log in remotely. (It's a setting somewhere in group policy.) I don't think that has been the default setting since Win 2K.

Yes, if you know the administrator account and password and also add this account to allow access via remote desktop which is located in the system property dialog box.

Windows prompt you to enter the user name or password because the user account or password on PC1 and PC2 is not match. If you have the same account name with same password on the both machine (PC1 and PC2) you won't asked by windows and automatically access the share resource.

Yes of course.

Check the Access control list of share permission and NTFS permission. Make sure you configure the permission correctly.

You need to enter the username in the COMPUTERNAME\USERNAME format.
If the remote machine is named REMOTE, this is what goes into the logon box for username:
remote\administrator

Hi!
When using terminal services we can specify a program to start at user logon. When the user closes the program the session should be ended. My problem is that when the users close the program, it takes too long to close the session. I have searched on the Group Policy Editor but can´t find a policy for this. Anyone can give me some hint?
Thanks
PS: using Windows Server 2003 R2

Hi,
Does anybody know how to obtain list of running processes by using
functions:
NtQuerySystemInformation
NtDuplicateObject
NtQueryObject
Does anybody have a source code in C++?
thx
|

If you want a list of running processes, use EnumProcesses from the Process Status APIs. That works on Windows 2000 and later, and on Windows NT 4.0 if you install the redistributable version of psapi.dll.
You can also use the ToolHelp APIs on Windows 9x and on Windows 2000 and newer. Call CreateToolhelp32Snapshot with the TH32CS_SNAPPROCESS flag, then call Process32First to start enumerating processes, and call Process32Next until it returns FALSE to get subsequent results.

Thaks, but that isn´t what I need.
I need process list by using NtQuerySystemInformation Handles.

Stating the same thing twice isn't going to change the way people suggest you do something unless you tell us why you can't use the approved and recommended way? It's always better to use the MS blessed functions than those that are listed as "may be unsupported in future versions" unless there is a good reason. An example of a good reason would be that this is a native mode app. More info please.
To answer the actual question, even though I strongly suggest you get your list the way Mike suggested ...
Looking at the documentation for NtQuerySystemInformation, it appears straightforward to get the list. Call it twice with SystemProcessInformation as the first parameter. The first time, use a buffer for return data (param 2 and 3) that is only a byte long. This will make the sysetm return the required buffer size in the 4th parameter. Allocate a buffer of the specified time. Call it the second time with that buffer to get the actual data.

Startup task items - Norton Internet Security 2007, Webroot Spy Sweeper, Lexmark Printer Controler, Speed Fan, Retrowhatever for WD external HD, Norton Save and Restore.
It usually takes a couple of minutes to get a fully started up Windows logged in, any ideas what I could do?
The computer is a media center, 2.8 GHz, 1 GB of RAM.

Yeah, dump all the Norton junk. My Dad has all that crap installed and sees the same problem.

Well I never got an answer to what I should use to replace it when I asked last time about Norton specifically. All the answers seemed uninformed and not possible for my situation.

I never knew you asked. The big one as far as a performance killer is Save and Restore. It's also useless because my Dad's machine has been killed more than a few times by an installation that S&R just couldn't recover from. It's useless, offering no better performance over XP's built in System Restore.
As far as the firewall, to each his own. I don't use any on my machines.
