I just set up a domain controller and some clients. Now, whenever a client logs on, I want a VBscript to be run ON THE SERVER. At first, I created the VBscript file as a Windows Login script and put it into the NETLOGON folder so that it will be run whenever a client logs on.
However, I realize that this script, although residing on the server, is running WITHIN THE CONTEXT OF THE CLIENT. In other words, the script is executed as if it were located on the client.
This is definitely a problem because the purpose of my script is to retrieve system info from the client and then writing that to a database on the server. In reality, when the script executes, it tries to write the data to the database on the client, which does not exist!

I don't know if the post belongs here. Please let me know if there is a more appropriate forum for this problem.
I have a Web Server running on my machine.
When I start the machine everything works great for about 20-30 minutes.
Then something fails.
When I open the server c# project in the Visual Studio I get this error message:
The Web server reported the following error when attampting to create or open the Web project located at the following URL: 'http://localhost/Project'. 'HTTP:/1.1 500 Server Error.
If I try to get to http://localhost/Project/ I get this error message:
Logon failure: user account restriction. Possible reasons are blank passwords not allowed, logon hour restrictions, or a policy restriction has been enforced.
Has anyoone seen this?
Why oh why would it work for a while and then fail 
The only way I know to continue working is to restart the machine - royal pain in the neck.
My virus files are all updated and the machine gets scanned once a week.
P.S. OS is WinXP

Hi, I have a problem with Internet Explorer. I can't change the start page because the field and the buttons are read-only. I don't know why. My OS is Windows XP, I'm dawned with Windows Update and I have administrator privilege. I think that the problem began when I installed Norton Antivirus.
Can you help me ?
Thank you very much for any answers.

This problem might be cause by a virus call backdoor.trojan. the computer at might work place is affect with this kind of the virus. But it is not disable with the startpage text box and the button. It make a change in the registry key and it always start when your computer is turn on. The best solution is check the name of the virus and find an instruction how to delete it from your computer.
Note: some user privilege might change these setting too. Try to check your computer security policies... and another importance places.

Is there a max file size for any file in the more recent versions of Windows?
Freiheit ist von Gott, Freiheiten vom Teufel.
|
|
|
|
|
Of course. It is at most 2^63, the size of a signed long long. I wouldn't be surprized if it was lower though.
(Note that 2^63 is bigger than and RAID system out there, and it wouldn't surprize me if it is bigger than all the storage on earth, though I have no way of examining that.)

What is the difference between a hub and switch?
How can do a network through this?
san4wish likes it.

A hub gets a message, and fans it out to everyone, a switch is much more intelligent. A switch starts reading a packet before it is all in, and as soon as it knows where to send it, sends to only to that port.
A switch allows you to have have more than one computer on the network talking at once, so long as they are not talking to the same device. (in some cases they can talk to each other, in others not) Second, you can mix speeds. This is a great speed increase where it works. (in the real world everyone is talking to just a couple machines)

A hub is a networking device which just connects multiple computers together for them to see each other in a network. However, Hubs causes too much collision. A switch, is better than a HUB. An anology for this is like a highway with no other cars rather than your own car. Their will be zero collisions when setting up a network using a switch.

i think hub is a layer1 device, while switch is above layer1 ie L2 or above

Sir,
I am trying to find a unique machine of the computers listed in my network.
I can do it in 2 ways:By obtaining
1.IPAddress
2.MAC Address
Since IPAddress is subject to change and MAC address changes if there is change in the hardware configuration.
So the only way is to create a GUID of that machine.
The question is how one should go about in creating GUID.
I mean what are the functions should I use?
Is there any API?
I know that 2 utilities like GuidGen.exe and uuidGen.exe create unique GUIDS.
Pls guide
Regards

I've seen this posted here before, but it's been a long time and I can't find the reference. My server keeps creating a file named ~ on the desktop. I delete it, but it comes back daily. What the heck is it, and how do I make it go away?
Some people think of it as a six-pack; I consider it more of a support group.

|
|
Even on my deskop theres a file created ~.May be its related when u install a patch.
Can any expert throw light on this.

I think it is related to Outlook Express creating a temporary file. It wants to do so in some folder that either doesn't exist or it fails for some reason. It then fail safe saves to the desktop folder. This is all off the top of my head from 6 months ago with Windows 98 and Outlook Express.

You nailed it - OE6 attempts to make a backup of the address book every time you edit an entry there. In the original installation this worked perfectly, but a later "update" broke it. I found a Knowledge Base article about it using Google (MS' search engine can't find it), and I believe it said that this only affects systems running Win2K or WinXP. There is a patch available, but only if you call and beg for it. MS recommends that you not delete the file (in case you should need it), and wait for the next update which will address the problem. For the moment it's a trivial annoyance, cluttering the desktop but not really interfering with anything... I'll wait.

I am using Exchange 2000 and an event sink to apply a disclaimer to the bottom of outgoing emails. However, I would like to not have this apply to three email addresses that send auto messages out to customers, since the disclaimer is already on the statement that is sent out. However, I am having trouble with the code. If I put any kind of conditional statement in the vbs script, it breaks. Any idea of what I am doing wrong?
Thanks in advance.

I wrote a resource script with menu resources duplicated on several languages.
MSDN states that I can control loading appropriate version of resource using
SetThreadLocale() call, but this way doesn't work. Operating system always
loads English version of menus in spite of what thread locale I'm using. Can
you tell me what's wrong? I'm working with Windows XP SP1.

I believe this is because the operating system locale is overiding what is being put in here. There is a way to override this, but I am not aware of the command. I will post back if I come up with anything.

I have been trying for about a week to install my Visual C++ application (via a deployment project in Visual Studio .Net)on a Laptop PC, but after many loops and changes the situation is that the application does not run (I think), the hour glass (mouse pointer) changes for about 1/2 sec when you double click on the program Icon.
ALso I did try and install Vcredist.exe which is a MS file to update any DLLs etc that a Visual Studio application may need on another PC without Visual Studio installed.
It does nothing!!??!! No error - nothing like an empty exe file
Are they some setting on this Laptop preventing new program files being changed/added to?
Its running Windows 2000 SP 5.

Hi, can anyone explain me about the unattendent install of windows 2000. I don't uderstand if we have 100 clients connect to the server with a blank hard disk (client). How could it run an installation from the server to the client if the client hard disk didn't format (may be they set the boot option...??? I'm not clear too) or without the command from an administrator (automate installation). I read the books and have a problem with that point. Just explain me in the frame of this process. Because I start don't understand from that point and could not complete the chapter.
