Using Regedit, add a key named HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell. Under that key, add another key with the name you want displayed in the context menu (e.g., pack with CPACK). Under that key, add another key named command. Change the (Default) value of that key to whatever command is necessary to run your application (e.g., c:\some_folder\cpack.exe "%1").
You should end up with something similar to:
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\pack with CPACK\command]
@="notepad.exe %1"

i am accessing another system through RDP.
when i connect to VPN ,RDP is disconnected.
Is there any way to run both VPN and RDP simultaneously?
|
|
|
|

This is likely to be a routing issue. Many VPNs will change the default gateway of the system to be the other end of the VPN tunnel, meaning that all packets that you don't have a specific route for go over the VPN. If there's no route out of that site to the system you're connecting to, or they have an outbound firewall that prevents RDP, or the site you're using RDP with restricts the addresses which can use RDP to access their servers, the packets will never reach their intended target.
You also have to remember that routing decisions are taken entirely on the basis of where the packet's going: while IP does have source routing capabilities (i.e. the creator of the packet dictates the route it takes), this feature is very rarely used and most routers will ignore it due to the risk of spoofing. Therefore it could be that RDP packets from your computer are reaching their server, but there's no way back from the server to your computer.
About all you can do is note what your default gateway is before creating the VPN connection (use route print and record the gateway value against the 0.0.0.0 route), turn on the VPN, then add a new route (with route add) to the target server's IP address, and the previous default gateway. Packets for the target server should then take the same path as they would without the VPN enabled.
This assumes that the VPN is implemented as a separate network adapter. If it's implemented as a filter driver on your real network adapter, it may not be possible to circumvent it.
You could also have problems if the server you're trying to use RDP with is on your local subnet. This technique may still work, depending on your router.

After you're connected to the VPN do you have ping reply from the machine you're trying to connect with RDP?
|
|
|
|
|
I have found this to happen when the VPN connection is set to use the default gateway on the remote network - ie. you internet access is adjusted to connect through the internet at the remote network, not your own.
To prevent your gateway from changing, go into the properties of the VPN connection, on the networking tab, goto the TCP/IP properties and into the advanced settings to deselect 'Use default gateway on remote network'. This option is selected by default as well, so it has to be switched off by the user.

Hi Friends,
I have a system which has installed windows server 2003 OS. In my system, IIS6.0 is installed also. I could not run my asp.net applications through the visual studio 2005. Because, "Default Website" (in IIS6.0) is display always stopped. I could not trying to start the default website. I was trying to start the default website when it has returned the error "The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process". I did to restart the IIS admin service by more time.
How can i start the default website in IIS6.0?
Thanks in advance

I have no need for Exchange on my home server and I'm wondering what is the safest way to remove it. My experience with SBS is almost entirely bad, and it's always been incredibly unstable, so I'm leery of uninstalling Exchange. I can't afford the several months it takes to rebuild a currupted server. I think there are two options - remove it through the Windows Add/Remove Programs panel, or use Services to change all Exchange services to manual start. Perhaps there's a third alternative I haven't thought of...
Has anyone tried this? Which is safest?

Unless you know why your server is unstable, I would go by the second alternative.
Which version of SBS is it?
|
|
|
|
|
It's SBS 2003 Premium, and it's not currently unstable - just really slow. The previous versions I used all self-destructed from making even minor changes, especially those changes directed step-by-step by Microsoft. I just don't trust it.

How much memory do you have on the server? You really need four GB on a Premium.
If you have 4 GB already, you might need some memory tuning[^]
Just remember that the SBS is also a Domain Controller so leave some memory for the AD

Holy Crap! When I built this thing I upgraded way beyond the norm - 1 GB - never imagining any version of Windows would want more. Maybe I should uninstall everything and go back to DOS.

The exchange server have a tendency to consume all available memory up to a little less then 2GB during the nightly onlinedefrag and cleanup. This memory will only be released on demand with a lot of disk swapping as a result  .
2 GB can therefore be considered a to be a practical minimum on the standard server. A Premium wants more 
If you don't need the exchange server you can safely just set all exchange services on manual start. The only things you affect that way is the wizards that you anyway only run while installing the server.

Hmmm. Thanks for the link, and I may give it a try, but it's still scary. Microsoft always forgets some little detail, like "Following our instructions will probably destroy your PC, but you'll be offline so long rebuilding it that we'll never have to worry about hearing from you again." Still, I really can't think of anything that could be dependent on the Exchange system, since I've never implemented it fully. SBS is weird, though. They've bastardized the standard Win2003 so that certain assumptions are strictly enforced, and one or more of those invariably jumps up and bites me if I try to do anything outside of the defaults set by MS.
Thanks again!

Not without a third party program.
Try rar, the commandlineversion is for free.

While this doesn't specifically operate from the command line, I found this procedure to compress a file or folder in the Windows Help system.
***
To compress a file or folder on an NTFS drive
Open My Computer.
Double-click a drive or folder.
Right-click the file or folder you want to compress, and then click Properties.
On the General tab, click Advanced.
Select the Compress contents to save disk space check box, and then click OK.
In the Properties dialog box, click OK.
In Confirm Attribute Changes, select the option you want.
Notes
To open My Computer, click Start, and then click My Computer.
You can only use NTFS compression for files and folders on drives formatted as NTFS. If the Advanced button does not appear, the file or folder you selected is not on an NTFS drive.
If you move or copy a file into a compressed folder, it is compressed automatically. If you move a file from a different NTFS drive into a compressed folder, it is also compressed. However, if you move a file from the same NTFS drive into a compressed folder, the file retains its original state, either compressed or uncompressed.
Files and folders that are compressed using NTFS compression cannot be encrypted.
You can choose to display NTFS-compressed files in a different color.
***
If I was doing this, I'd compress a large folder with the Task Manager open, and see what program suddenly appears in the list of running tasks, then I'd locate that program and try typing path\programname /? at a command prompt to see what command line parameters it has, if any. Most functions are implemented as stand alone programs somewhere in the Windows system, but they're often undocumented. Once you know the name of the program, you might also find additional information on using it by searching the web, or TechNet.

Device a simple shell with the following valid commands:
1. help
a. lists the names of currently available commands
2. add
a. takes 2 command line arguments corresponding to the two input values
3. subtract
a. takes 2 command line arguments corresponding to the two input values
4. multiply
a. takes 2 command line arguments corresponding to the two input values
b. overflows will be truncated
5. divide
a. takes 2 command line arguments corresponding to the two input values
b. this performs only integer division
c. division attempt by zero returns zero.
6. setlog
a. takes one argument indicating the name of the log file [default: q1.log]
7. start
a. starts the logging process to the logfile mentioned above
8. stop
a. stops logging process
9. quit
a. exits out of shell
10. back
a. Usage: back
b. Executes the cmd in back ground and holds the child from exiting till explicitly
mentioned by fetch command
c. Internally, back returns the child id of the process created .
11. fetch
a. Usage: fetch
b. childid is the id of the process to be fetched. This will print the result of the
operation performed by child
c. if no childid is given, any of the background children will be fetched.
12. ps
a. list the set of child processes with their process id and the name of the child.
Apart from these set commands, if any other command is typed, then a “Command not found”
error should be printed by your program on to the screen.
All the results from the child processes has to be send to shell process using shared memory
defined on a per-child basis.
If a process has been send to background using the back command, then it must stop itself from
sending the result back to shell. Only when the user types the fetch command, the child must
return the result to the shell.
Every 30 secs, the shell must display the currently running child processes on to the screen. (This
information should not be printed to the log file.)
From the time the start command is given, all the commands typed in the shell, and its results
must be written on to the log files, unless otherwise specified. Commands 1,6,7,8,9 and 12
should not be written to the log file, neither should their results be written.

Hi,
We are trying to transmit video within intranet.
Setup:
Windows XP PC having the WME and the Webcam.
Windows 2003 Enterprise Edition Server with WMS.
We performed configuration as mentioned in couple of websites pertaining to Multicast steaming.
On WMS we configured the Publishing point which points to the XP PC which is used to capture the live video and audio. (http://internalIpAddress:8080/publishingpointname). After the creation we started the publishing point service.
Next we started the encoding using the WME wizard. There we selected the Multicast streaming option using PUSH. Provided the link to the WMS server (http://InternalWMServerIp:8080).
But we end up getting the following error: "The specified push template is invalid.(0xC00D151A)"
Since we are setting this up in intranet, we believe that firewall/router will not come in for consideration. Is our assumption correct?
For the above two configuration/setup, will the internal IP address do good or do we need to have the 239.XXX.XXX.XXX series.
We tried with PULL and Unicast. This works fine, since the PC transmitting the video will not use the WMS for transmission.
Can someone help us on step-by-step guide to achieve the same with example and the fix for the error being encountered. Couple of important troubleshooting tips will also be of great help.
TIA

Hi,
Do you know locking/unlocking capability of your hard disk? If not, read following.
Every hard disk has inbuilt controller, called ATA controller. ATA stands for Advanced Technology Attachment or AT Attachement. ATA is the standard protocol to interact with the hard disk. ATA protocol has several commands using which hard disk can be locked or unlocked.
This lock is the hardware lock. Once hard disk is locked, you can't read/write from your hard disk, until unlocked. Once it is locked, all commands to hard disk will be aborted, except commands for unlocking and some special commands.
Almost all modern hard disk support security feature. By default security feature is disabled. It needs to be enabled and then only hard disk can be locked/unlocked. Some older hard disk might not support this feature.
I have created a utility, completely coded 'C' language, to lock/unlock hard disk.
For more details and downloading this utility, visit Lock-Unlock Hard Disk[^]
Thanks,
Sandeep B. Vaniya
