We use a customized version of YALV[^]
This, of course, means that we're bound to use log4net and the XML specification YALV supports - Of course it is open source and we could adjust it any time needed - But c'mon, it's a log file. These things don't get any more spectacular when changin the formatting

Hello,
The organization I am working for is looking at largely automating their "onboarding" process (hiring new employees and getting them into the system). However, one of my big "question marks" regarding this project involves the wealth of legal and other forms the employee has to fill out (I-9 for example).
The organization wants (a) these forms to be able to be completed digitally, (b) information that we have previously captured (name, address, etc) to be pre-populated, (c) the user to be able to complete it at home if necessary, and (d) some way to gather both the manager's and employees signatures.
First, I am curious if this is possible without running into a host of legal issues. Also, what might the best approach to forms be? Would it be fine to create a typical HTML form, and then maybe use the data captured there to populate a PDF version of the various forms (such as I-9) or what?
Thanks for any advice or guidance.

We cannot possibly give advice on legal issues, you need to consult your company's lawyers. As to the rest, you could use webforms or PDF forms that you can circulate via email.

Thanks for the response. Just to clarify, I am definitely not expecting specific legal advice, I am merely curious, if anyone has experience with a similar project, if, as a general rule, it is possible to to complete US government forms electronically (being that they typically require a signature). For example, when I filed my taxes, I believe I could fill most off it out in PDF form; however, I still had to physically print and sign it.

Well that is not really a question for a programming forum.
|
|
|
|
|
Every year I've done an e-file tax return, I've used a digital signature. It's definitely a question for legal, though, as the laws and policies governing what is acceptable for digital signatures is going to heavily influence implementation.

If I have more than one functioning network adapter in my machine and I open a browser, how does Windows decide which network adapter the browser communicates over?
The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.
|
|
|
|
|
This does not work in win 10 for some reason it only allows prioritising networks not adapters, for 7 onwards.
Open networks sharing
click Change Adapter Settings
Press the Alt key to reveal the windows menu strip and click advanced
select Advanced Settings on the menu
|
|
|
|
|
Thank you.
I was referring to Windows 10. With network priorities, how does it decide when to move from the first network to the next one in the chain? When it can't find a resource?
The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.
|
|
|
|
|
First for "local" traffic if the adapters are in different networks with unique address ranges then the decision is based on the target IP address as to which network to use, logical really.
For external addresses not within any of the networks it will tend to be in order of metrics, for some reason the last network added (say you plug in a cable whilst you are on wifi) seems to get pushed to top priority which may be decided on the speed and stability of the cabled network and that it can see the internet or might just be cabled is better than wifi.
To set individual metrics; Open Adapter Properties, double-click IPv4 protocol and click the Advanced button bottom right, there you can set the metrics for IPv4 on that adapter, untick Automatic Metrics and set the adapter you want to be high priority to the lowest value and all the other adapters to higher numbers in order you want them to be searched.
Caveat is that Win 10 ignores this and no matter how you try sets it back to automatic, think it is an open issue at MS.
|
|
|
|
|
You do not specify which windows version, for all but win 10;
Open network sharing centre
click Change Adapter Settings
press Alt key to reveal the windows menu strip and click Advanced and select Advanced Settings
For Win 10 you'll need to alter the metrics on the IPv4 protocol on the adapter, which does not always work...

With ForceBindIP you can bind any Windows application to a specific interface or IP address. It´s freeware"
"ForceBindIP works in two stages - the loader, ForceBindIP.exe will load the target application in a suspended state. It will then inject a DLL (BindIP.dll) which loads WS2_32.DLL into memory and intercepts the bind(), connect(), sendto(), WSAConnect() and WSASendTo() functions, redirecting them to code in the DLL which verifies which interface they will be bound to and if not the one specified, (re)binds the socket.

I tried switching off IPV6 but it didnt work
it shows "DNS request timed out timeout was 2 seconds" almost every time
these is the DNS communication as captured by wireshark when I type 'nslookup' and open the program

any help ??

Sounds like your DNS server isn't working properly. Try querying Google's DNS servers:
nslookup
server 8.8.8.8
set type=a
facebook.com

This is because it is defined in the DNS Suffix Search List (type 'ipconfig /all' to see what is set). This list is mainly for resolving hosts in your local domain (no need to specify full qualified domains).
To avoid this you can use the nosearch option or append a period (but I'm not sure if using a period is supported by Windows nslookup):
nslookup -nosearch facebook.com
nslookup facebook.com.
Regarding the timeouts there may be multiple reasons. There may be for example firewalls blocking requests (on your system, on the gateway, or even by your ISP). It may be also a DNS server that responds with delays due to high system or network load.
Did you never got an answer or is it working sometimes (especially after sending the same query again)?
When sending the same query again, the DNS server on your gateway should have stored the result in his local cache meanwhile so that he can answer without forwarding the query.
You should also try to use a known DNS server as suggested by Richard:
nslookup facebook.com. 8.8.8.8
This avoids forwarding the query through the DNS server of your gateway / DSL router to the DNS server of your ISP and should be therefore much faster.

well the DNS server address default is my routers address
I changed it to my ISP's DNS server's address and everything works well
any idea why this happened only on nslookup while the rest of DNS worked fine ?
also : it happened only on one router
I moved to another house and it is working with any setting
|
|
|
|
|
Other programs will work because they usually have a longer timeout than the Windows nslookup.
It seems that your router is rather slow in forwarding DNS requests and answers. If it is an old model (slow CPU, little memory, old firmware) you should get a new one.

That's a bit of a drastic step, just to solve a DNS lookup issue!

Looks like the firewall might be getting in the way. Do you have an option turn off "passive" mode?

suppose my pc is in a domain station. if i want to remove it from domain without admin password what i need to do?
if i change my harddisk and install new operating system,then it will be free from that domain or not
|
|
|
|

Yes, of course. If you install a completely new OS then all links to the old environment can be removed.

To make it sort...
I found out the computer from where the locks originate...
I found event #14 that states, that the password for my account is wrong and I should update it using Credential Manager (but the Credential Manager is empty)
What I can't find is what application/server uses my account on that (not mine at all) computer...
My hint is that it is about a service, as it happens also when no one uses the computer, but in the list there is no service listed with my account...
There is a hint how can I identify the process/application tries to use my account?

Hello,
I am using a portable chat application via LAN which is placed in local server(Windows server 2012) computer say computer1. I have another Windows server(Windows server 2012) PC in which around 10 people are working. Say that pc as computer2. While working in computer2 we used to access chat application from computer1.
Some time I will update the some features of chat application and replace that in computer1 without any error. Now in order to make latest version of application available to the users of computer2, all the working users in computer2 has to close and then open the chat application. This is the procedure which need to be done in order to open the latest version of app,
1.userA and userB are using chat application,
2.userA, userb both closes the application
3.userA, userb opens the app
Here is my problem,
1.userA and userB are using chat application,
2.userA closes the application but userB still kept that app open.
3.userA opens the app, here userA will get old version instead of new version which is available in computer1.
Why this is happening ? Where windows store the cache ? Is it not possible to make that application to load newer version when a other user is kept open that ? I know I can follow method1 as solution, but it is very difficult to know that all the users are closed the app so that I can inform again to open it.
Please help me.

Because you can't overwrite a file that is in use.

Sure; don't overwrite the previous version.
