How to play an Animation and make video render before logon through credential provider ?(Vista)
It seams VMR9 cannot work fine before logon.
(development of facial recognition credential)

You need to do research into writing your own "Credential Provider[^]" for Vista. This concept replaced the older GINA found in previous versions of Windows. And no, you can't use C# or VB.NET to do this. You're in stuck in the relm of C++.

Hi
I am trying to deploy a digital certificate (a test. pfx and a .cer) to users in a GPO. I have read that you can deploy the certificates by following the ensuing link in the GPO management view:
Computer Configuration\Windows Settings\Security Settings\Public Key Policies\Trusted Publishers.
Yet I cant seem to find the above - mentioned folder structure. Only the Trusted Root Certification Authorities folder is visible.
Any suggestions on how to deploy certificates to a group of users in a domain without using the certmgr console?
Thanks

Hi,
I've got a new HP machine and they've hidden some of their stuff in some sort of secret folder that I can only access when I have the full name of one of the files inside it and then only through the Explorer's Advanced search with the "include non-indexed, hidden,and system files" checked. I've been through all the usual folder options and applied a hack of the registry SHOWALL key. Has anybody seen anything like this and know how to list out the full folder?
Thanks,
Will

Hi Luc,
It's nothing exciting, just a few XML files for extending the TouchSmart environment with your own apps. It's in the Program Files\Hewlett-Packard\. . .\SmartCenter 2.0 folder and the folder is called UpdateAppSettings. It seems like HP either wants to open up the environment but aren't quite ready or they're pretending to but won't actually commit to it. It's pretty half-baked at this point. For instance, there is a utility so you can "Register" your application but there is no "Unregister" option.
I did find that once I opened one of the files from within VS 2008, I was able to see the rest of the files the next time I went into the File OpenFile Dialog.
I'm still curious about how they might have done that.
Searching for a solution, I saw one item where they talked about adding a Class Id extention, .{26EE0668-A00A-44D7-9371-BEB064C98683}, to the folder name but that didn't seem to work on one of my other Vista machines so I don't think that's it:

Hi all
I am reading SQL server 2005 Administrating and Maintaining course and I have -I can say- good knowledge about user , Roles and shcemas but I need anyone to help me to differentiation between them.
thank you

User (of a database) is a login that's permitted to use a database.
Role grants privileges to objects or to the system to a user or login etc.
Schema again is a logical "context" for database objects.

thanks a lot I was looking for that since I sent this topic but in additional to your clarification I understand more.
My Best Regards

I hope this help also.
SQL Server 2005 introduces schemas to the database. A schema is simply a named container for database objects. Each schema is a scope that fits into the hierarchy between database level and object level, and each schema has a specific owner. The owner of a schema can be a user, a database role, or an application role. The schema name takes the place of the owner name in the SQL Server multi-part object naming scheme.
Schemas solve an administration problem that occurs when each database object is named after the user who creates it. In SQL Server versions prior to 2005, if a user named Bob (who is not dbo) creates a series of tables, the tables would be named after Bob. If Bob leaves the company or changes job assignments, these tables would have to be manually transferred to another user. If this transfer were not performed, a security problem could ensue.

Suppose I have four drives:
C: 80 GB
D: 120 GB
E: 50 GB
F: 80 GB
where D thru F are really volumes on a single 250 GB drive. I'm finding that I need to change the space allocations on the one large drive, or perhaps I want to replace the C drive with a larger one. Every night I do a full backup to a removable drive not listed here.
If I make hardware changes that affect the size or physical locations of the volumes, though I still retain the original drive letters, will Restore still work correctly? This, of course assumes that none of the existing drives contains more data than the respective 'new' drives.
I've never tried it, and I'm leery of the process. I don't want to find myself with a reconfigured system and a message telling me that "Windows could not restore the data; the destination drive could not be found."
Microsoft has a long history of supplying me with such surprises and I'd really like to avoid this one, so I'm hoping someone out here has done thsi exact same thing and can tell me happy news.

Instinctively I'd say it's possible but I've had the same experience with surprises as you have.
What OS is it?
|
|
|
|
|
Windows Server 2003.
I'm just concerned that the backup may be organized around sector/LUN information, and changing the disk configuration might totally screw me on the Restore. After the system has been rebuilt would be a hell of a time to find out about it.

I have some less funny experiences with the backup of Oracle systems. It stores the backup information in the database you have just taken a backup of.
So if the database doesn't exist, you can't restore...
Anyway, I have just made a test backup (to a file) on one server, and restored it on two other servers with a totally different harddrive configurations and hardware.
No problems.
Restoring to a server 2008 didn't work though.

Thanks, Jörgen! That's reassuring to know.

That's insane! I'm so glad I never tried Oracle. They sent me a free copy of the full version 8 years ago - I still have no idea why - but I never installed it. Now I know why...

It has its pros and cons.
Among the pros is that it's seriously faster than SQLServer, atleast for us.
And it's actually very stable, it's just that I every time I need to administer something in it I have to ask myself "How did they think now!"
So another pro is obviously that it constantly reminds me how happy I am to do the rest of my work in a Microsoft environment!

due to limitations of backup solutions, I have always imaged my backups. modern imaging from free solutions such as driveimageXml or seagate tools (which I use now because it is an older acronis backup), or commercial like the full blown acronis backup all backup data in such a way they expect the data may be moved. seagate tools would backup the data and then you have the option to copy as an image to a new partion or new drive on restore... or to restore as a data image to a folder of a drive. this gives you the best of both worlds of backup solutions.

Hi, I need software exchange 5.5 trail version for my study 70-284. Does anyone know where I could donwload this software? Thank in advance!!!

Exchange 5.5 reached it's end of life 2005, so it's going to be tough to find it.
I'll have a look in my cd-collection tonight, but I doubt it...
