Usually the list being blank means the disk doesn't have a signature, or the HKLM\CCS\Services\ClusDisk\Parameters\AvailableDisks registry is empty. If the disk does have a signature, and you're sure it's OK on both nodes, your best bet is to add it via the cluster.exe command line utility.

Try running process monitor from sysinternals to see what you're getting the access denied messages to when UAC is enabled.

Well, you can rename root domains (although it's not something to be done lightly), but you can't actually delete them without deleting the children. Your best option would be do consolidate the objects in the child domain into the root, if you only want one domain, and then decommission the child domain.

This isn't related to this post, but you cannot install IE8 B1 on Vista unless it's running RTM or SP1 release - no SP1 beta will allow install.

Make sure you post those bugs to the newsgroups. Otherwise, you're at the mercy of someone else doing so, otherwise they won't get fixed if not found and posted. That's why it's called a beta .

Have you tried running the 64bit version of IE (the default icon points to the 32bit version) to see if it happens there?

A colleague has that monitor on his desk, and while it's fine for work-related activities, video and some PC games we've looked at aren't very crisp compared to the 3007wfp and 3008wfp's and the Samsungs I've seen at 24 and 26 inches as well.

Not easily, no. There are no public links other than those.

For manual, user-initiated installs, the answer to this is "no", but there are exceptions to every rule. You can loosen permissions to the filesystem and registry to the \Windows directory (and subfolders), \Program Files directory (and subfolders), and the HKLM and HKCR sections of the regsitry (and subkeys), but at that point THE USER IS BASICALLY AN ADMIN . So, technically, the answer is "no" . For applications pushed out via group policy, this becomes muddier. If you allow the MSI elevatioin policies to be enabled in both the Computer and User portions of the policy applying to that user and his/her machine, the user can install applications pushed out via Software Distribution in group policy (from add/remove programs, or pushed automatically to the machine or user) without being an admin.

If you're printing from a web page, this can be done on the page itself. If you're talking about all print jobs from any application, this is NOT trivial. You can configure a separator page that prints out the user information on a page before the rest of the document prints, but to do this on every page is a function of the print driver or print processor/port monitor, unless the application itself supports configuring headers/footers in the app that will print (like MS Word). Otherwise, this is not something that the application-layer can handle, it has to be done post-spool of the print job or during the spool (for RAW print jobs). This is not trivial, and would require you to write a print processor and a port monitor (because the print processor would not catch RAW print jobs, but a port monitor can) that would do this. I know this is in the platforms DDK (or used to be), but again, this isn't something you "script".

Well, when opening a Word document, consider running Process Monitor from sysinternals and see what exactly your box is doing during this time. That's definitely not normal behavior.

Windows XP SP3 is going to have some updates, like MMC 3.0 and MSXML 6.0, not to mention the NAP client for those that have NAP set up on Server 2008 networks. There's a white paper up and a KB article that lay out what is, and is not, in XP SP3. You will not get updates to DirectX, Internet Explorer, or Windows Media Player in XP SP3, although on a somewhat-related note it looks like the IE8 beta will be released for XP if it stays on schedule (it'll release during the mainstream support phase for XP, which means it's likely to get a release - we'll find out more Wednesday after/at MIX '08, hopefully).

Do NOT double-post.

If you've got a technet/MSDN subscription, it's available for download. If you're a VL customer, you can get it from your Microsoft rep or your online download location (if you have such in your contract). These are the only current locations for the hotfix download. Otherwise, you wait for it to hit WU or the MU catalog or the http://www.microsoft.com/downloads site, or get yourself a subscription to MSDN. I'm sure there are other ways to go about acquiring it, but in my country those are considered illegal - the board rules also consider using these ways to be illegal as well. Technically, you should see it in March or April, so if you've waited since November of 2006, you can probably wait another month or two .

I thought I made that clear:

Honestly, I totally missed this - I went away for a few days, and it got buried off of the first page. Sorry 'bout that. As far as I can tell, those permissions should keep a user in that group from deleting anything unless he/she is a member of another group that has more permissions. I generally create a share by setting up NTFS permissions on the share as I need to, then I create the actual share with the permissions set to "Everyone / Full Access" - since the lowest permission level between NTFS and Share permissions take precedence, only people with NTFS access rights can do anything on the share and I don't have to worry that restrictive share permissions could be causing any access problems I have. As to what you are doing there, the only way a user should be able to delete now is if they're also in another of those groups that has the right. It looks good from what I can see. You might want to kill the CREATOR OWNER permissions though, as it allows a higher level of permissions for the user that created a file in the share than what you want them to have.

Explain - 32bit Vista can handle up to 4GB of physical RAM. If your laptop can handle installing 4GB of RAM, you can run 32bit Vista with that. If you're saying that 32bit Vista only sees 3GB or 3.5GB of RAM, please read this.

Sorry, forgot about the datacenter edition as well. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_2000

What is the router's DHCP range, what are the DNS servers, what is the IP address of the router, and can you post another listing of ipconfig /all from the laptop?

Windows 2000 was released in 64bit (called Advanced Server Limited Edition), but was not x64 - it was ia64, or Itanium. You couldn't get it without buying an Itanium server.

Moved to nlite forum. Previous poster is correct, though, this has been asked before here numerous times. Please use the search functionality of the forums for quicker answers.

Wow - that's pretty locked down. Could it be a switch or router, or some other sort of network equipment?
