    SP4 Failed To Install

    the message never appeared for me. I did however get lsass.exe crashing and hence the server rebooted - this may be because it was attacked by someone. After the reboot, the server shows as having SP4 installed and appears to work ok. I ran www.windowsupdate.com to check what it thought and it...

    Moving Backup Log location

    Hello, So was this post simply to help others? If so, thank you, it is exactly what I need! One question though, when you used the options to move the catalogs (my catalogs are currently over 2GB, the Data directory is only 349KB so not worth worrying about) did it actually move the existing...

    job taking much longer than they used to

    we are backing up 160GB of data to a Powervault 7000 robot with DLT4 tapes using Veritas Backup Exec v8.5. Until recently the weekly full backup jobs have been taking about 8 hours. The last two full backups have taken 26 hours, but on inspection of the logfile, it says (after 26 hours) that...

    Q307027 hotfix

    I want to bring a rogue W2K Terminal Server into line with the rest of the farm as regards hotfixes. I do NOT want to install SP3 but I need the Q307027 hotfix that was included in it. Can anyone help me find it, MS doesn't seem to supply separate hotfixes that are included in the latest SP.

    adm template not working

    Hello, I'm trying to enforce a non-persistent policy that forces users' temporary internet files to be deleted when they close down IE. Q323639 says that if I want to avoid "tattooing" the registry then I should change the registry in either HKCU\Software\Policies or...

    browse for folder dialog use

    many thanks "Const BIF_BROWSEINCLUDEFILES = &H4000" worked a treat. I'd had that variable in before but had it set to &H4 for some reason.

    browse for folder dialog use

    Can I use the Browse For Folder dialog to browse for folders AND files at the same time? (like the browse window you get when creating a new shortcut on the desktop) I've tried changing the flags on the SHBrowseForFolder function but no joy, it only shows folders.

    nimda protection on Terminal Server

    thanks for that. we've just had some similar news from MS to the effect that they support IIS3 on TSE but not IIS4. marvellous! I think we've got round it by copying the idq.dll from a patched nt4 server, removing the relevant script mappings and making sure the virus scanning s/w is up-to-date...

    nimda protection on Terminal Server

    we currently have a couple of nt4 TSE servers running web services (maybe a bad idea?). we appear to have escaped infection from the nimda virus so far, however, I'm worried because I've been unable to apply any of the MS patches (q301625 was my favourite) because they will not install. Instead...

    telling if MS Access is running

    jmarler, you suggested enumerating the processes; can I use this method to check if ANY process is running? If so, how? I have a little starter app that kicks off WTS but I want to hide it when it's performed it's task until the WTS app is terminated, at which point the starter app needs to...

    using winsock without user intervention

    thanks for the help guys. Eric, I tried something similar to your method earlier but the winsock1_connect sub was never running. madlarry's solution seems to be working ok so far. I'm just converting it into a dll at the moment and will return to this board if all goes t*ts up. out of interest...

    using winsock without user intervention

    I've written a vb program that will connect to a server using sckTCPProtocol and send a string and obtain the response string. However it requires user input. Before I can think about creating a dll (for a web server) I need the exe to perform the whole process by itself. Here's the form code...

    registering a dll on an nt box without logging on to that box

    just figured it out, sorry. used instsrv and srvany from the nt resource kit. The service install option in the DameWare isn't very good (ie. it didn't work!). thanks for all your help people.

    registering a dll on an nt box without logging on to that box

    Users sit at thin client terminals - it's Windows Terminal Server, sorry if I didn't make that clear. So, they don't need to download the dll's each time (or ever!) but they do need the server to use them when they log on. I think the service is the way to go but I'm having trouble getting even...

    registering a dll on an nt box without logging on to that box

    there's 3 problems with having the regsvr32 commands running on logon. 1, the logon script itself requires the dll's (this could be overcome by having 2 consecutive scripts I suppose). 2, the users do not have permission to register dll's, security feature to protect the system. 3, this would...

    registering a dll on an nt box without logging on to that box

    I have a dll that I would like 12 NT4 TSE servers to use in the logon script. Is there a way to get new versions of the dll registered on each server without having to log on to each server and run regsvr32?
