Hi everyone,
I hope somebody can point me in the right direction. Is it possible to create a self-installable configuration file which will automatically create a VPN connection on a client workstation?
The idea is that the users won't have to create and configure their connections manually, and would just run the installer which would create the connection automatically for them. Once created, they would just enter their own username/password when connecting for the first time.
The server is Windows Server 2003 Standard SBS, workstations are all Windows XP home/pro.
I've tried to google for it, but I probably can't find the right keywords as I didn't find anything useful.
Thanks for any hints in advance,
Rado

Check out the following link too. It looks like you 'might' need to write to the Windows Registry to get what you want.

I think you have a very -ve attitude , I want it because iam making a project for a bank and they want it in win98
and they want me to prompt me at boot time as because security in win98 is less, that's why iam asking it urgently.
PLEASE DONOT PUT YOUR BOGUS REPLY THAT SHOWS YOUR -VE ATTITUDE,

first, i don't understand your "-VE ATTITUDE"... why don't you just tell what you think with full non-hidden words ?
secondly, i was just wondering why you were acting like that, just because the MBR is a very critical section for a system, a some viruses replace the sector 0 with their own code to work still the computer is powered on...
that's all.

is there any chance to speed up video (tv) download?
generaly it works ok 90% of time just sometimes stops for second-two seconds
are for this download managers usable?
or they just for download of files (save-as) when are more mirrors available?
reading reviews at download.com (f.e. freedownloadmanager) i read horror comments "my computer sometimes freezes" etc.
any experience? thanks

i don't think you can much speed up media player by tweaking, but you can try to increase buffer size or try another player
slowdowns are caused by your inet/ISP bandwidth limit or the server's hosting media stream bandwidth

I think you can when i get home i will post it

If i partition the O.S. then any physical partition layer is created or it is logical.

Partitioning a physical drive allocates a set of clusters on the drive to a logical device. A partition table written to the drive records the assignments.

I am hoping somebody out there can help me with this. We have a demo of our application on a terminal server. We have configured it so it can be accessed using the webbrowser RDP client. If accessed in this way it automatically logs the person on to the server and goes straight to the application logon. There is no desktop and we have ensured that there is no access to explorer. Unfortnatley i still dont think we have done enough.
For example i managed to launch explorer from our report engine which allows customization using scripts. Is there anything else i need to be thinking about. I need to be sure the user cannot access any admin tools, launch any applications or access the file system (apart from the tied down folders we want them to.)

Hi:
Even after going through the following steps:
(*) Delete Cookies
(*) Delete Files (Temporary Internet Files folder)
(*) Content -> Autocomplete Forms Clear
(*) Content -> Autocomplete Password Clear
(*) Clear History
(*) Close all Running Internet Explorer instances
(*) Logoff and Login,
when we focus the cursor into the Addressbar of Internet Explorer, some of the URLs dynamically appear.
We even searched for that 'text' in Windows Search. (Start -> Search -> Find Text in All Files and Folders)
Where else, does Internet Explorer store these content?

Just wanted to add a couple of more observations. In Windows Search, would it also include the Protected Storage locations and would Internet Explorer use them to store history URLs? If yes, then how to clear them?

I have a machine with 1.5GB memory (Total Physical Memory). I started logging "Available MBytes" performance counter and it hovers, relatively stable, around 960 MB.
Now, what can I say about this figure? What's "Available MByte"? Should anything above zero be a good sign? That there's spare memory available for non-system threads? Is that what it means?
system consuming around = 1500 MB - 960 MB = 540 MB
Is this right? There's fair amount of paging however, hovers around 4 Pages/sec (I was told that 2 Pages/sec) is "good". "2-20 Pages/sec" is acceptable. Beyond that it probably means you need more memory.

That's a bit of a tough one, actually. 'Available MBytes' is the sum of physical memory pages that are free, those that have been zeroed, and those on the Standby and Modified lists.
This needs a bit of explaining. The difference between the four lists is in how much effort the OS needs to go to in order to give that memory to something that needs it (either a process, or some system component).
For security reasons, when a user-mode process allocates a page, the page is filled with 0s (otherwise the previous contents would be visible to the process, possibly disclosing sensitive information). To ensure that it can quickly satisfy the demand for 0 pages, there's a thread (the 'zero page thread') which simply writes zeros to free pages, moving them from the Free list to the Zero Page list. This thread runs in the context of the System Idle Process, and has a priority below everything else, and is never boosted (thread priorities are normally boosted if a thread hasn't run for a long time because higher priority threads are using all the CPU time). In effect, it only runs when the system is otherwise idle.
The Free list is used for allocations when a zero page is not required. This covers system allocations, and also user-mode allocations for memory-mapped files, where the data will be loaded from the file when the program reads the page.
If the Free list is exhausted the OS then tries the Standby list, and if that is exhausted it can try the Modified list. If it must take a page from the Modified list it first has to write the page back to disk, for the Modified list contains pages which have been changed since last written (or changed at all if never written).
That covers allocation but not how these lists fill up again. If a process or component stops using a page completely (uses VirtualFree), it returns to the Free list. More commonly though, pages are removed through working set trimming. The working set is the set of pages that the process or component has used recently. Each process has its own working set, and there's one system working set. The system working set consists of pages used by the system cache, and by pageable code and data in the kernel and drivers, and by paged pool (small data blocks used by the kernel and drivers). Periodically, and when there's memory pressure (signalled by low numbers of pages on the various lists), a system thread wakes up which trims the working sets - places pages that have not been used in a while on one of the Standby or Modified lists. If the page has been written to, it goes on the Modified list. Otherwise it goes on the Standby list.
Periodically, another thread wakes up, which writes a number of pages on the Modified list back to the disk. It tries to do this so that the pages it writes are close together, to reduce the number of I/O operations required.
You may be wondering what the point of these intermediate lists is. The point is that, if the data is still in memory, and the original working set tries to reference them, the OS just gives the page with the existing data on it back to the previous owner. This is referred to as a soft fault, but it's still counted as a page fault. When the page is moved from the Standby to the Free list, or allocated to another working set, the original working set has to be updated to indicate that the page is no longer available. These operations show up in the "Transition Faults/sec" counter.
Windows counts the Standby and Modified lists as 'Available', but it also counts them as 'System Cache'. I suppose they are cached, in a way, because the OS doesn't need to go back to the disk for the data. On this machine, I often see the sum of Available and System Cache exceed the physical memory fitted: right now Available is 510MB and System Cache is 590MB, and there's only 1GB fitted.
Stability. What an interesting concept. -- Chris Maunder

I've only got the one "good" machine, so I want to do this right without Windows eating itself. The target machine is a Windows 2000 Server with a lot of software installed and bunches of data I don't want to lose. It also contains many programs and settings that have been lovingly configured over the years that I might never be able to duplicate. All it lacks is a means of backing all this stuff up to another location.
In my hot little hands I have Win2K3 Server - Standard and Premium edition, along with multiple copies on Small Business Server 2003. The dilemma is, first - which should I install, and the second - how should I do so to minimize the damage done? Has anyone done this upgrade yet and survived? Tips would be most welcome!
BTW - I do have space for one more hard drive, IIRC, and installing it on a new drive is a possible option, though reconfiguring it would be quite tedious.

The main reason is to try it out, and learn about it in depth. The tribe I work for is in the process of upgrading all their servers, and the one I maintain will eventually get updated. I'd like to have some solid experience using it before the change. That's actually the only reason I have Win2K Server here at home. At my last job they were considering upgrading to Win2K, so I built a server and installed it. Of course, after all that expense, they laid me off a few months later.
Fortunately this company is growing, not dying like the last, so there's little risk of a repeat.;)
