    ubuntu help adding unzip

    If you don't have web access, apt-get will not be able to find anything from remote repositories. What kind of files are you looking to unpack? In most cases, 7zip will take care of any format you throw at it. https://packages.debian.org/sid/p7zip-full

    Windows 8.1 randomly drops mapped network drives

    I finally pointed the primary DNS on the Win 8 machine to the domain controller (and not the file server) and added Google as second (8.8.8.8). In the month that has passed since, not once have the drives dropped. I assume this is "solved".

    Windows 8.1 randomly drops mapped network drives

    Since the file server is not a DNS server, browsing the internet will probably break. I vaguly remember doing this (setting the only DNS server on the problem machine to point to the file server). I will refresh my memory by trying that again. Keep in mind that both Windows 7 and Windows XP...

    Windows 8.1 randomly drops mapped network drives

    MACHINES File Server: Windows 2003 Server Domain Controller: Windows 2003 Server Client: Windows 8.1 Pro PROBLEM The client is not a part of the domain which the file server and obviously the domain controller are. The mapped drives are added on the client using DOMAIN\User (along with...

    Backups to external hard drive fails for some machines when replaced

    I have an external hard drive installed on my file server with a shared folder where all the backups goes to every day. The backups are mainly from the file server itself, but also holds backups from various computers around the office. Since the backups are totaling a size that is not...

    How do I check bandwidth use per user on a Terminal Server?

    Thanks for the response. However, I am running a Terminal Server and the clients only use thin clients in order to log in to the TS. They are therefore not able to install any software on the server, nor on the thin clients, since they are strictly clients. However, I don't block any downloads...

    How do I check bandwidth use per user on a Terminal Server?

    If they all use normal amount of bandwidth, then I would not have any issues. However, my 8/1 cable connection is very sensitive when someone starts downloading files, and currently a steady 300-500KB/s down is in use which almost stalls the Internet usage for the rest of the users (for the rest...

    How do I check bandwidth use per user on a Terminal Server?

    How do I check how much bandwidth a user on a Terminal Server is using? Running a TS has many advantages, but the main disadvantage is the fact that they all use the same machine, hence the same IP. So how do I go about to check how much bandwidth each user is utilizing?

    Outlook 2003 cuts off printouts of HTML message since IE upgrade

    I personally have never used IE. I started with Netscape back in the day and later switched to Firefox. I don't even run Windows, and never will. However, tragic reality is that some sites that the employees at my company must use, are heavily based on ActiveX and other nonsense (such as...

    How do I exclude Internet Explorer 8 during update?

    I am building a new Terminal Server and 2003 Server is the OS of choice. However, when I do the first initial update, IE8 is marked as a high-priority update and I am not given any choice of excluding it during the update. I can't use IE8 for compatibility reasons, and the Terminal Server will...

    Outlook 2003 cuts off printouts of HTML message since IE upgrade

    I wish I could make Firefox the default browser system wide, but 2 of the sites this company relies on does not work with FF. I hope that this changes with time since those sites are relatively old. However, I ended up rolling back to IE7 and everything seems to work like it should again. So by...

    Outlook 2003 cuts off printouts of HTML message since IE upgrade

    I upgraded Internet Explorer yesterday on my Terminal Server (Windows 2003) from version 7 to version 8. Ever since I did that, Excel and Outlook has been acting flaky, where Excel even freezes frequently. The issue I have with Outlook 2003 is that some businesses send full blown HTML messages...

    Is my Raid1 going bad?

    I have a replica of the server. I managed after many tries (chkdsk was forced to run multiple times in a row) to run Ghost on the volume and pushed it to the other server. It has now been running in production for 5 hours without any of the previous issues that I had. So it looks like the issue...

    Is my Raid1 going bad?

    Earlier today, my Terminal Server froze (there was so much hard drive activity that I could not even log on to it) so I hard booted it. Chkdsk launched upon reboot and after 45 minutes I could boot into Windows again. But now I get lots or errors in Event Viewer, and some examples are: Under...

    RDP triggers remote computer to shut down

    I had to go back to drivers from 2006 in order for it to work. The Nvidia drivers made the last year all causes this to happen, which is why I excluded driver issues (I tried a bunch). But now it's all good again.

    RDP triggers remote computer to shut down

    Last week, something bizarre started to happen. When ever I log in using Remote Desktop from my home computer (XP Pro) to my work computer (XP Pro), the remote computer (Work computer) instantly shuts down (does not reboot). Today I tested to connect to the work computer from a computer running...

    Desktop Icons Disappear When Show Desktop Is Pressed

    I have done yet another discovery. The reason why the icons disappear when the show desktop is pressed is because they get shifted about a half a monitor width. So if the icons are located on the left side of the left monitor, they get shifted to the left and are not visible anymore. When the...
