Hello. I cloned WinXP Prof for 20 computers (with True Image). After clone network works about 1-15 minutes, computers disappear.
Thank you for attention!!!

Did you change the machine SID on the clones before you added them to the network? Google for "NewSID" and you'll find what I'm talking about.

I changed SID before add to the network. I changed SID with NewSID, after that i add to the network. Network works 5-15 minutes, after that copmuter by computer disappeares.
Thank you for attention!!!

I've never run into the problem before. Hmmmmm.....
The only other thing I can think of is the network adapter auto-negotiating the link speed and duplex with the hub/router you're machine are plugged into, and getting it wrong. This isn't a one-time process, but something that is re-evaluated every so often. You might want to try going into the Properties of the Network Adapter and changing the Speed and Duplex options, from Auto, to the values expected by your hub/switch. Like 100Mb Full Duplex or 10Mb Half Duplex...

OK. I will do it. You know when i had installed WinMe everything works (i mean network). Why?
Thank you for attention!!!

Driver versions are different... If this is indeed the problem, it's probabyl because the negotiation code isn't implments properly in the driver.

Is the license for your copies of XP the "commercial open license".
If not I believe they get flagged. I have not bothered with cloning on XP so this is just a guess.

Before make the image for your XP installation use the sysprep utility from support tools to remove SIDs from the machines. This is the recommended by Microsoft.

I need to enumerate network resources from my service and for this i plan to use impersonation.
This is what i did.
LogonUser(username)
ImpersonateLoggedOnUser()
// do networking stuff
RevertToSelf()
when i perform these operations with username = Administrator, the networking code works fine but with
username = xxxx (which belong to the Administrators group), the networking code fails (GetLatError = 2).
What am i doing wrong here ?
As i see the username(xxxx) does not have a few access rights or privileges which the Administrator has to
enumerate network resources. any idea what are those rights or privileges ?
I tried with granting SeNetworkLogonRight to xxxx and it did not work.
any inputs will be helpful.

Yes, there are a few. But, who cares? Just scan your entire system for viruses, using a reputable virus scanning package with the latest updates.

I never met that kind of virus. But in my opinion, i think it has because virus is the software that cause operating system run incorrectly and disturb or annoyes to computer user.
If you met this kind of virus, i think you should use your keyboard shortcut to access an anti-virus software and scan your system.

Hi,
Are there any ways to get Event Log information from a remote box other than with the EventLog class?
EventLog dumps the entire collection of log entries, for the specified log, as soon as it's opened. There is no way to throttle it, Read Next, or filter on anything besides "Source". The buffer size appears to be set at 40,000 and I don't see any way to change that (not that I'd want to). Everything was going great until I tried to get a a rather large log.
And of course, the solution has to be entirely from the client side and I have no control over the size of the remote server logs.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Without using the EventLog class??? You'd have to come up with your own implementation of the class, P/Invoking all the Windows API calls and structures involved. You might be able to use the existing EventLog classes and just override or add new methods to read the events one at a time or implement an asynchronous version of the log download.
You can find more about the Event Log API here[^]. If you look in the Contents in the left pane, you'll see Windows Event Log. Dont bother looking at it yet, it's the API used in Vista. It doesn't exist in lower versions of Windows, at least not yet...

Thanks,
I was just looking at ".NET Framework Solutions: In Search of the Lost Win32 API" over at Amazon. I haven't played with Win32 since the Windows 95 days so it's a little daunting for what should have been the simple part of the app.
As far as extending the EventLog class. I don't see anything exposed as "protected" that could help me.
Oh well!

Huh??? No, you create your own EventLog class! EIther by inheriting from the original EventLog class or by creating one from scratch. Then you can add your own methods to open the remote machine's event log and download each event, one at a time, from each log.

I understand.
My point was that: in addition to the exposed (public) fields/properties, there are NO unexposed (protected) fields/properties in the FCL's EventLog class that would be nice to get at. So, there is no point in inheriting from it. There is nothing it would provide as a base class to make it any less useless to me.

Hi, my question is simple: is there a dos command or winxp program that can be used to check the IP addresses of networked computers remotely? Basically my problem is, I have an ethernet cable connected from my computer to a piece of hardware that has an IP address. I can only check what that IP address is from my computer, not from that hardware. How can I do this?
Thanks!

If this piece of hardware sits in between your computer and another, use tracert to the other computer. The IP address of each hop along the way should be displayed.

Unfortunately the hardware and my computer are the only two nodes in the network, I just have an ethernet cable hooked directly to it, and there's no other way I can do it, it's a piece of military hardware and this is how it's set up. Basically the problem is that I have to connect to it using telnet or something similar in order to get some files off of it and I don't know what the IP address is.

I'm no network engineer by any means so my suggestion is a most inefficient one. How about looping through all the IP addresses (2564) until you find the one that responds?
