iSCSI is an option is you need clustering on the cheap, but if it can be afforded go with the fiber channels. will make for a better responding server, what you would be looking for would be a active, passive setup for your cluster, or active, active. one thing to remeber is clustering is about high availability, fail over is good but there may a few second or so ( depending on hardware and config) where the machine would not be available as the second node kicks in, but over all shouldn't be noticeable. better questions is this you only server? or a main server that cannot go down, clustering is not the cheapest route to go but the best for making sure that resources will be available to clients all the time.

looked at the link, looks like a very cool piece of software... didn't see a demo version though

daemonforce exaggerates on the 15k rpm needed, but he is right, vista runs slow on any HD right now because of the beta state, wait for the febuary CTP and hopefully they will have gotten the bugs out for that. This should be the first code complete version. But i could be wrong also

become part of the beta program, will not be release to vista is out other then that @ paraglide, good to know have been looking for that for this version for a good long time

On Feb. 14, 2006, Microsoft Corporation announced the vision and roadmap for Active Directory, which includes expanded capabilities that customers will see in future versions of Microsoft Windows Server, starting with the release code named “Longhorn.” Customers, developers, and partners will begin to see these new, richer capabilities in Beta 2 of Windows Server “Longhorn,” which is due in Q2 of this year. As a first milestone in delivering against this vision, Microsoft is aligning all of the identity and access capabilities available in Windows Server around Active Directory to help customers simplify deployment and administration, lower the total cost of ownership, enhance security, and streamline compliance. This work includes the renaming of several capabilities with the Active Directory brand in Windows Server "Longhorn": • Active Directory Domain Services, formally Active Directory Domain Controller • Active Directory Lightweight Directory Services, formerly Active Directory Application Mode (ADAM) • Active Directory Rights Management Services, formerly Microsoft Windows Rights Management Services (RMS) • Active Directory Certificate Services, formerly Windows Certificate Services • Active Directory Metadirectory Services, formerly the Identity Integration Feature Pack (IIFP) Original At Microsoft Anyone found anymore information on these, tested some of the feature on longhorn 5270, very cool but do not have enough machine/free time to much heavy testing. Also anymore info on this? sounds like some very cool features being intergrated to AD. Can't wait for the beta 2 of longhorn

adding folders to the image will not work, right, you best bet it to wait for ximage to be released so that you can incoporate the drivers into the vista image rather then just a folder on the DVD

type it like this: runas /user:inayat_with_administrative_privelages "C:\Program Files\Inferno\file\exe for program" you only need qoutes around the program file path because of the spaces, not before it in the runas section

now when you it is primarly being a file server. what else do this server actually do? does it act as a DC also or any other task that may add a preformance hit?

lol, so many posts on something that can't be fixed at the moment, what a friday

Lets take your first IP range for example. 10.0.0.0/19 Each 1 or 0 counts as a bit, we have 32 bits in a subnet we have 19 bits assigned for the network ID giving us 11111111.11111111.11100000.00000000 or a subnet mask of 255.255.224.0 we got the 224 for the 3rd octet by adding the values of each bit, 2^8(128) + 2^7(64) + 2^6(32) = 224 now the remaining 13 bits we have are for the Host ID we use this number to find the number of IPs that can be hosted total. so 2^13 - 2 (can't have a 10.0.0.0 and 10.0.31.255 is for broadcast) = 8190 now we need to find the number of subnets that we have. since the default a class ip range has a subnet of 255.0.0.0 and we have 255.255.224.0 it has changed a bit, lets look at the binary 255.0.0.0 = 11111111.00000000.00000000.00000000 255.255.224.0= 11111111.11111111.11100000.00000000 So to find the number of subnets lets look at out Host ID = 00000.00000000 this is hte number of bits that aren't ones in the subnet mask. to find the number of subnets just start filling in with ones HostMin: 10.0.0.1 (NetworkID) 00001010.00000000.000 (hostID) 00000.00000001 HostMax: 10.0.31.254 (networkID) 00001010.00000000.000 (HostID) 11111.11111110 so we have 32 subnets that each can have up to 254 clients in each subnet so based on the questions you asked before # of bits would be 19 # of Ip address would be 253 ( 0 doesn't count and 255 is reserved for broadcast) subnet mask would be 255.255.224.0 IP address ranges for the First - 10.0.0.1 - 10.0.0.254 and the Last - 10.0.31.1 - 10.0.31.254 subnets. let us know which part if holding you up, the more specific the better, i know they are a pain but once you get it, it will seem easly. Feel free to note errors in mine i am a little rusty

thank goodness, i thought i was going insane..... couldn't for the life of me figure out where you got 27 from

could be a Driver development kit for vista, i haven't heard of a driver kit or download from MS yet, it also could just be a compilation of drivers people have found to work with vista Correction, there is a windows driver kit but it more looks like for building drivers and testing them to work with vista, could try dloading that file and see what you get

well then you might have a good reason for not liking dell, but the matter is still with the chipset, like you said you have it running on a NF2 chipset where as the NF4 is the one in question. try it with a NF4 mobo and see if you can get it running. It might be possible but i have yet to find drivers or a method that will work

now for the S/N why a 10.0.0.0/27?

hubabuba never stated what OS he was using, it might be possible that he is on XP and just posted in the wrong forum... but all the anwsers given should take care of his issue

would a Mod please close out the topic, we all not this fake and it doesn't need to run any farther...

that Promise card has had many issues in the past with no one being able to find drivers for it to work correctly. You will ahve to wait till Promise or MSI release vista compatible drivers for it

actually i have installed Vista on a dozen dell machines and they work fine, the issue here is with the Nforce chipset, the drivers just aren't compatible with vista, nothing that dell did...

having a third machine with RRAS runnig as a router would be a good way to do it, no other options in VS 2005 that would help you...

MSDN account through work, it is nice to have, i have signed up for the beta also, sadly have not been chosen yet though

unfortuantly adding themes or fixing the icons is not something that can be easily done unless you get something like windows blinds working on 2000, since alot of theme framework for skinning and such wasn't in 2000 you might have a hard time doing this

since the app is running fine and only dieing at the print phase it sounds like the printer is a network one and local to the machine, like memmnoch said, network printers will not work for this service,

the next release of vista will be a code complete version (supposedly) which will mean many bugs still, if that bothers you you are better of staying away for a bit till either it is released or there is another ctp later in the year

what OS is this? what are you using to burn to it? we need a little more information to work with if we are to help you. sounds like the CD has already been burned to and closed, you would have to overwrite the information to burn to it again anyway unless it is a re-writable disk,

Might be in the wrong section, But been playing with longhorn and setting up DC's and trying to install/test alot of the new features that are out with it, but running into a few issues and i wanted to see if anyone else had been testing this and run across this. Terminal Server - installation will not finish\begin, is trying to install but getting an access denied message IIS 7 - cannot get ASP .NET module to install correctly many more but i will refrain from making a huge list if no one else is testing this
