  1. When i try to connect to my server via RDP i for some strange reason get the following error "because of a protocol error, detected at the client (code 0x1104) this session will be disconnected. Please try connecting to the remote computer again" Ive tried several things by connecting to the servers registry and adding values as indicated at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/q154596/ (which was advised by a friend) but still no luck anyone know what to do?

  2. Is this a Dell machine if yes try

    http://support.microsoft.com/?scid=kb;en-us;310794

    (remember to backup your registry and use it at your own risk)

    If not try this and see if it resolves

    Boot into Safe Mode

    Start > Run, Type

    regsvr32.exe regwizc.dll

    Press OK (wait for message the registration was successful)

    Start > Run, Type

    regsvr32.exe licdll.dll

    Press OK

    If that doesnt work either - THEN REINSTALL (joke)

    1. Start > Run, Type Regedit > Press OK

    2.

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\

    Windows NT\CurrentVersion\WPAEvents

    Highlight it and click File - Export (to back it up)

    3.

    On the right pane double click OOBETimer. Carefully change just the first byte (to say 00)

    4.

    Copy Windows\System32\wpa.dbl and wpa.bak to a

    different folder, then delete them from System32

    Then try activating - if it doesnt work then restore the reg file you saved earlier before trying any other steps.

  3. First ensure you have succesfully removed SP2:

    boot into RC (use your XP disk). Change your command line to c:\windows\ (if its not already)

    type:

    cd $NtServicePackUninstall$\Spuninst {Enter}

    batch spuninst.txt {Enter}

    exit {Enter}

    dont type {Enter}. If that recovers your system them go to add/ remove programs and remove (if it exists) Windows Xp hotfix 824141 - reboot

    If that fails then......

  4. I have been already using GPMC from MS and after reading the help file few months back i remember it saying "right click the GPO and select BackUp" - but i didnt have the option BackUp - is this what your referring to? if not could you please explain as the BackUp option is not available to me for some stupid reason.

    Thanks

  5. 1st disable automatic updates via Services

    2nd Delete all the files in SoftwareDistribution (found in Windows folder)

    3rd Go to Internet options > Settings > View Objects and delete WUWebControl Class

  6. I have activated my version of Windows Server and it works fine. All i want to know is how i could save my activation file to avoid having to call MS. To tell you the truth i dont like calling MS at all i feel like im being controlled for software I purchased

    I believe I understand what you are saying. At first log in it says you need to activate, right? If you don't activate it logs you back out. If you try to log back in it lets you? Is this correct?

    almost right........

    i log in

    asks for activation

    copy my previous activation files (wpa.dbl, wpa.bak and even wpabaln.exe)

    log off/ log on

    Error message received "You need to activate your product with MS......)

    logs me out

    i log in again - it allows me

  7. Whenever i reinstall Windows Server 2003 it prompts me for activation as expected. I saved the activation files (wpa.dbl etc etc) from the last installation and try to copy them over to the system32 directory so i dont need to activate my copy. This for some reason doesnt work. When i log in it says i need to activate it with microsoft logs me out and i attempt to sign back in and allows me to. Anyone know whats going on here and why? do i need to save some registry key too?

    Thanks
