create an account, go into your Local Security Policy (admin tools) under local policies and User Right assignment, set the account to Deny log on Locally. For added insurance add the account to the Access this Computer From the network Policy as well

What errors have you been seeing in the event log? can you provide a memory dump from when the error happend?

The question has been anwsered You cannot install Vista on a Second Machine without another License. Closing topic

Download Autoruns from SysInternals, you can see everything that starts up on your machine. should be able to find the cuplrit there

Running into a problem with an SP3 Xp machine trying to connect to Win 2008 machines. NLA is turned on for the server but i can getting connectivity errors with checks of certificates. If i reboot my machine, i can rdp once to a remote machine and can stay connected as long as i don't close that session. if the session is closed though i cannot connect again, an Event ID 8 was raised but according to MS article 317541 i unchecked the root cert check, now the same error is raised but no event is added to the App log. any hints? (also i followed 951608 to enabled the CredSSP functionality in SP3)

is this a 64-bit WIM file you are trying to open? why are working on this from a datacenter server?? WAIK should never be installed on a server like that

sadly customization like that may not be a strength in this forum hence no replies.

8.5 i beleive is the version we are testing to upgrade to but yes, the problem lies in the fact that there are to many websites running and comsuming memory, we can't offload them to new servers or go to 64bit till the coldfusion testing is done. to eleviate problems till then, they wanted to go to Enterprise and use more ram. Which in my mind means that there will be multiple 4 gig windows of memory and if IIS and the apps don't know how to handle mapping to alternate windows (via the pae and awe api's) then they won't be able to take advantage of the extra memory.

Ok a brain teaser for everyone. Have an IIS box that is part of a web farm, Box has 4 gigs of ram now and we are stuck on 32 bit for the time being (shakes fist at cold fusion). Anyway we are running into a problem of to many app pools and to much ram being used on the box (no worker process is very large just many of them) the app pools have been consolidated in an effort to save memory but the memory usage is still high. since 64 bit is not an option till the next version of cold fusion is approved here, we are stuck with trying a standard 2003 to enterprise upgrade to take advantage of 32 gig limit in enterprise. my only worry is how the memory mappings will work with IIS 6, from what i understand it would shown to the OS is 4 gig windows of memory mapped out to the x gig of physical memory, i have not been able to see or read anywhere is IIS and windows memory management will be able to make use of the extra memory that will go into that machine or if will not be used. Any input would be appreciated!

If the executable is a MSI, you should be able to get away with using ORCA for the Windows SDK to edit the MSI and remove the requirements for the 2003 OS

In vista you won't be able to add an account to the admins groups without being an admin on the machine, there is no command to add the guest to the admin group logged on as the guest

waiting for windows 7 will not help you much since it will based on vista source code anyway. Problems you have with vista may or may not still present in Windows 7 and you will run into more compatibility problems in 7 as well if you wait to upgrade application/hardware etc. playing the waiting game with technology hoping the next version will be easier to use is a double edge sword.

are these AD intergrated Zone?

If you could, please try another copy while running process monitor (http://download.sysinternals.com/Files/ProcessMonitor.zip) please post the log created afterwards and we can see try and see where the the hold up is in the OS

well if the issue was with the installer service itself you should not be able to install anything else. Can you install something else and see what happens, also if you could, please download Proccess Monitor from the technet website and capture a trace while you install the java patch. that will give us somplace to start!

go here http://www.fiddlertool.com/fiddler/ download fiddler and launch it, start a trace and try opening the webpage again and paste here the results of the trace

the 2008 book is good, there are a few things that change with 2008 (online Service responders, Certificates for network devices etc) that would make buying the book worth while. i have it and like it but so that is my biased opinion

is there a specific reason the admin account needs to be on? You could change in the local security policy not to show the last logged on user so that you are prompted for an account to log on with. that way you don't need to tweak the admin account

Tools -> Folder options -> View tab -> always show menus

IIS will need to be installed on the CA if you want to web enrollment, you cannot host the web enrollment webpage on another IIS box

please read the rules before posting! the boot image file is part of your vista DVD (boot.wim) you can find it in the sources folder. there is no need to download it.

WDS will take what ever Bandwidth it is given, more likely it is throtteling or QOS being done on your switches, find out from the network group what kind of BW is available and if they have the ability to setup a VLAN specifically for building machines then once the machine is built add it to the main network segments, this would help aleviate BW issues on the main segment and allow better control of resources for build machines (depending on how many machine you build at a time or over the year this might be overkill)

you may want to talk to you ISP and see why you require so many hops to get to the location, from my home it was only 15 hops and a max of 40 ms on any one leg of the journey. though even from the times you are showing above there should not be any lag on page displays

if you are looking to add the functionality to your own app, you will need to grab the wimgapi.h, wimgapi.lib files from the WAIK (if they are still in it) if not you will need to grab the Windows SDK as i beleive they are in there
