Re: Once Again, Into the FTP Fray Roger Wright26-Oct-02 5:13 Roger Wright 26-Oct-02 5:13  Hehehe... I've actually had relatively few problems with it, but the ones I tumble on to seem to be weird ones that no one else has ever found. I seem to be a pioneer in that way Although I am currently trying to access it from the local host, I've also tried from remote hosts with identical results. The master user name and password always work, but access is denied to any other user in the domain. I initially followed conventional practice of assigning permissions to the group then adding users to it, but I've also tried granting individual users access permissions. Neither works. I wonder if I need to set up other services that I haven't touched. When I set this up it was to learn Win2K Server, so I loaded it using all the Microsoft defaults and deferred customizing anything until later. I haven't touched RAS or DHCP or MSMQ, nor any of the other obscure, rarely mentioned services running. Could that be the problem? I suppose I should have known better - I accepted all the Microsoft recommendations for SBS4.5 when I installed it years ago and nothing in it ever worked correctly again. Oh well...

They will connect to the FTP root directory with the account you created for them . Then they will be able to access the files . Of course my setup is not very secure but I wasn't going for security .I just wanted to get something up and running and working of course Hope this helps ... Chris Federico Re: Once Again, Into the FTP Fray Roger Wright27-Oct-02 13:13 Roger Wright 27-Oct-02 13:13  That works great for anonymous access, but not for individual users. A logon box is presented, but perfectly valid user/password pairs are rejected! I definitely do not want just anyone to be able to access the server, so enabling anonymous logons isn't an answer either...

Re: Once Again, Into the FTP Fray Roger Wright28-Oct-02 4:10 Roger Wright 28-Oct-02 4:10  I'm not sure yet whether it will help; the error message is different, though the symptoms are similar. It's amazing that the search engine has never offered this one to me though. I've used keywords that match the list, and phrases that are contained in the text. One curious item I noticed - "It is not recommended that you install an IIS Web Server on a Windows 2000 Domain Controller." What are small businesses who don't need two servers supposed to do? And why does Microsoft continue to ship Small Business Server (which also includes Exchange Server and Proxy Server, all of which are not recommended for installation on the same machine)? Having followed the instructions given for Windows 2000 (they don't match what actually appears on the screen, so some guessing is involved), I'll have to arrange for some outside tesing. Thanks for the suggestion!

That is why I said to create a local account on the box for each user and lock it down on the NTFS level for each directory . Thats not anonymous because you need to know the account and password for you to connect .It just won't let anyone connect . Thanks Chris Re: Once Again, Into the FTP Fray Roger Wright30-Oct-02 4:21 Roger Wright 30-Oct-02 4:21  I did all the steps you suggesteed before posting, but none worked. The reference to the article above did the trick, though. Win2K Server doesn't allow local user logons unless a group policy is used to enable it. Once I followed the instructions contained in the article, no further changes were required - all the previous settings were correct. Domain users can now log in, but anonymous users are blocked, just the way I like it.

Thanx in advance Kannan Ramanathan Resource Management Notorious SMC24-Oct-02 17:09 Notorious SMC 24-Oct-02 17:09  my VB6 application which calls and uses Excel works fine in Windows NT,2K and XP , but experiences problems when running on Windows 98. The system hangs and the message "System is dangerously low on resources" appear. I am assuming that this happen because Win98 does not have very secure Resource Management compared to NT based OS. Does anyone have any idea how to make my app work in Win98 ? Re: Resource Management Michael Dunn24-Oct-02 18:49 Michael Dunn 24-Oct-02 18:49  It has nothing to do with security. Your app is leaking resources (mostly likely GDI objects) and since much of the 9x OS is 16-bit internally, you hit a 16-bit limitation (like exhausing a 64K heap for example). So the solution is to fix your resource leaks. --Mike-- "I'd rather you just give me a fish today, because even if you teach me how to fish, I won't do it.

I've been debating on moving the laptop to WinXP Pro but my concern has been it's capabilities as a development platform. The more and more I see screenshots and attend seminars, the more I see WinXP. I love the look and feel, just concerned about using it as a development platform (also to watch DVDs). I'm toying wiht the idea of putting WinXP on it and if I don't like it, just putting Win2K Pro back on (need those power managment features). Does anyone have any opinions or input about using WinXP Pro on a laptop when the primary use of the laptop is development (VS.NET/PhotoShop/Illustrator/OfficeXP)? What about WinXP Pro's power managment features on a laptop? Thanks, -AC Re: To WinXP or not WinXP... that is my question Michael Dunn24-Oct-02 18:52 Michael Dunn 24-Oct-02 18:52  I can tell no difference at all when developing on XP at work (compared to 2000 at home). If it weren't for the cutesy icons, I couldn't tell it apart from 2K. --Mike-- "I'd rather you just give me a fish today, because even if you teach me how to fish, I won't do it.

I despise WinXP as a platform, but that's for esthetic reasons (the GUI sux) and matters of principle (the licensing model). But it is quite functional, and is sufficiently different from Win2K that there are some times when the differences could cause problems with the products you design. You currently are running a Win2K Server farm - it would benefit you to have at least one XP host to build and test your apps on. The power management features of XP I can't comment on - it works on desktops well enough, but I can't afford a laptop and have no experience with it. Win2K does an excellent job of power management, and XP appears to extend this capability - I'd go ahead and risk it...

I've used XP Server on the same laptop with no problems, but needed a Win2k Server environment, and that's why my desktop now runs XP. As a dev. platform, XP is fine, I just kill all the themes so it looks almost identical to Win2k. (There are plenty of sites out there that give you tips on speeding up any Windows OS.) As far as power management: never had a problem.

There were remains of InstallShield (_delis43.ini, Zdata51.dll, _ins5176._mp) in a TEMP directory. My question is how can I find out what activities were performed on my computer. Will you give me a hint where and how I should look for them.

If you have XP/Me you can look at System Restore's snapshots too.

Most installers leave an audit trail behind them. I've been playing with this myself today, and discovered quite a few attempts to hack into my system. None succeeded, and all returned 550 and 404 errors, but I'm planning to send each and every one of my admirers a personalized copy of BackOrifice as soon as I can get around to it.
