Re: Shared Drive Henry miller28-Jun-04 4:07 Henry miller 28-Jun-04 4:07  If you can it is a bug in windows, at least by some arguments. Just because you have access to something does not mean you should be allowed to share it. Others who want access should get it from the origional server. Note that there isn't much consences in the security community over this. However Microsoft appears to have taken the above position, and overall I'd say it is a good decision. Can anyone answer? schtasks... LeprosyLM28-Jun-04 3:18 LeprosyLM 28-Jun-04 3:18  Hello, I have tried unsuccessfully on many sites to find the answer to this so kudos if you have any insight. I am using schtasks schtasks /Create /S WS2 /RU Administrator /RP Foobar /SC ONSTART /TN MyTask /TR C:\Admin\RunMe.bat to create a task on a windows xp workstation remotely that runs a SYSTEM boot up. When I create the task remotely, occasionnaly it works fine, but usually i get a: "trust relationship for this workstation and the primary domain failed" error. I believe this might have something to do with the task trying to run before the network is fully set up etc, or somethign funky with active directory. If I run the task immedietly it works fine, only when I try to run the task on start, and only occasionally. The funny thing is, when I create the task I use the local Admin username and password, but I think it may fail because it seems to try to authenticate the credentials that I used to log into the machine to create the task FROM. Anyone know why this is happening and how to fix it? thanks steve Re: Can anyone answer? schtasks...

It's Old Faithful, the trusty Pentium Pro 180MHz machine I built for Christmas '95, freshly reformatted and reborn with a clean installation of Win2K Pro and little else. SP4 was applied over the LAN from the server, MSDE from the CD with SQL Server SP4 installed from the server. Nothing else is on it. Windows Update reports 9 Critical and 5 Windows Updates available - all fail to install, as a group or separately. Update.log shows that all were downloaded with a CRC error (Error 0x80070017). Repeatedly. It's unlikely to be a memory error, as Windows is running nicely, no quirky behaviors (other than the known ones). And the various utilities that come with it are all working perfectly. The disk drive checks out as undamaged, too. Any ideas? Some people think of it as a six-pack; I consider it more of a support group. Re: Windows Update Failures Matt Newman26-Jun-04 6:00 Matt Newman 26-Jun-04 6:00  You could try downloading the updates from the KB article page (ie the standalone update) and see if they will install.

Re: Set network drives as full trust inlandchris7-Jul-04 18:54 inlandchris 7-Jul-04 18:54  Hi, WinXP: Try adding the IP address to the trusted sites (security tab) in the internet explorer options tab. Also, add the ip to the wins option in the properities of Network places. WinXP has an unusual amount of security that is good for home use but bad for business uses. Re: Set network drives as full trust Matt Newman8-Jul-04 3:52 Matt Newman 8-Jul-04 3:52  I think I got it fixed, what I did was opened the .Net framework wizards and adjusted the Local Area Zone to Full Trust.

Hard drive woes -- NA --21-Jun-04 11:06 -- NA -- 21-Jun-04 11:06  Hi there gurus I have a problem: my PSU died a while ago (some may remember this) and when it was replaced it turned out that it had fried the onboard controller of my harddrive as well... Now the hard drive itself is no problem (it's already been replaced) but the data that's on it is. Before I get jeers about backups, they have been made (luckily) so all the "important" stuff has been saved, but all my personal stuff (disposable but lots of work to collect...) is lost. Now my question is this: would I be considered stark raving mad for asking if it's possible to get an identical drive (as far as that is possible) and screwing off the circuit board and fitting it on the other drive? Because I'm pretty much convinced the data itself is fine... Frankly I don't care if it's a crazy question, I'm asking it anyway. *depressed* Thanks in advance for any (useful) replies.

Re: Hard drive woes Matt Newman21-Jun-04 18:18 Matt Newman 21-Jun-04 18:18  Well, its possible and I think its how they do data recovery from damaged systems. I can only see 2 possible places where something could go wrong. 1. The replacement HD has a differnt algorithm for saving/retreiving data and you can't read it 2. You accidently damage the platters during the swap. Contrary to popular belief the platters aren't in a vacuum. I would say its doable, just don't spend to much money on the identical drive. Matt Newman All rise for the honorable Judge Stone Cold Steve Austin - From Dilbert Episode 30 Re: Hard drive woes -- NA --21-Jun-04 20:32 -- NA -- 21-Jun-04 20:32  Hmm, I'll have to think about that one, it's still under warranty... *indecision* Paul Blog: ZAblog.nl MSN: tchwala@hotmail.com modified 18-Jul-18 11:59am. Re: Hard drive woes Roger Wright21-Jun-04 20:38 Roger Wright 21-Jun-04 20:38  I think it's worth a try, Paul. If you're certain that the platters and the transport hardware are not at fault, it might work. If it doesn't, you might also try installing the old platters into the new drive. I have a hunch, though, that the low-level formatting we don't usually do calibrates the drive media to the control hardware/firmware, and this may not work because of production tolerances that haven't been precisely matched to the unit. Still, it's worth a shot if the lost data is valuable enough. This could be a valuable article, if it works.;) Some people think of it as a six-pack; I consider it more of a support group.

There are companies that do this, and they know all the tricks. I suspect you will find the cost is not worth it, but still they are a good place to start. Maybe it will be worth it.
