It almost sounds like its not really getting added into Active Directory when you add it. Log into the DC, is there an entry for that server listed in Active Directory Users & Computers? Try deleting the entry (if one exists) disjoin the server from Active Directory and rejoin it. After that make sure that there is an object listed in the DC. Also are there any entries in the DC’s event log?

Thanx for the reply. That's what most of the boards I read suggested. It was getting added to Active Directory and DNS. There were no messages in the DC event log when I rebooted the other server (two of them actually). I finally put an SMC 10/100 adapter in a PCI slot and used it instead of the built-in Ethernet. It worked the first time.

Interesting, thanks for replying back. Glad to hear you figured it out...
I take it there was no faults registared on the NIC?

A client of mine has one of these with a duplexer, connects via a JetDirect card (I must point out at this juncture that we didn't supply any of the hardware.
They use MS Office 2003, primarily Word and Excel, plus a number of custom written apps. Printing from Word and the other apps works fine, but there is this weird thing that happens if they switch from Excel to Word, and back again.
Say they're entering figures in a s/sheet, and they alt-tab to word to double check something, then alt-tab back. They finish punching in the numbers and hit the print button on the Excel toolbar (standard, not customised). Instead of getting a print, they end up with a PCL file in the current folder. 
None of the other apps do this, not even the ones I wrote 
Unfortunately, this happened with Office 2000 as well, so their own IT people upgraded the machine to 2003, but no help (XPSP2, btw).
Now this plainly doesn't make sense, because it only happens if they switch away to word and back again.
Anyone any ideas? I'm trying to get driver versions etc, but it's a tad tricky, since their own IT people are remote from the site, and so am I.

Hi,
Try to reproduce it once again, and watch for tooltip on the 'print' button. It always displays the default printer (or at least the one which is currently set up for use with Excel). Is it "print to file" when the problem is going to occur again?
Regards
|

|

Nope. The tooltip correctly displays the printer it's going to use, and using the toolbar button or the menu option makes no difference, it still dumps PCL.
OTOH, if excel is launched, a worksheet is loaded, and printed with no switch to word and back again (whether via Alt-TAB or directly via the task bar) it doesn't happen, so it seems to be some odd behaviour when switching from one app to another.

Hi,
I added a customized button in IE that Shows a customized toolbar. Problem is that I can't make it HIDE the toolbar. I don't know if I have to change button's CLSID in registry, as I suspect that the following key
CLSID = {E0DD6CAB-2D10-11D2-8F1A-0000F87ABD16}
refers to a button that only SHOWS the toolbar. It should have the same behavior as IE "Favorites" button.
How can i find out which CLSID belongs to IE "Favorites"?
Anyone ?
Thanx in advance!!!

A few of you may know that last night 3 of my servers went down and it was 3:00am before my admins were ble to restart them (I'm that guy who needed the coffee).
What i want to know is what problems do you have your servers. Is it normal for me to have a crash a month? I have always had these problems with my servers.
Note: It isn't user error on my part because since about 2-3 years ago i rarely ever need to touch them. I have people who manage them full time.

Servers get old and start failing. We see it all the time. HDDs start losing sectors, the Motherboard starts having loose joints, network cards become flaky. We've seen it all. Typically our servers last around 3 years.

I remember having to solder new crystal oscillators onto network cards; the old ones used to bake nicely over time, and just 'fail' suddenly. Of course, these days, with SMT and everything-on-a-chip, it's easier and cheaper to just put in a new card
And don't get me started on loose joints - my mother always warned me to stay away from low women and loose joints, or maybe it was fast women and loose cars...

I have a PCI/Altera card that I'm communicating with through the PCI bus of my PC with some MDI C++ software that I developed through Visual Studio 2005.
I'm not sure if this is the right forum for this but here goes:
How does one make sure that the software/GUI gets full control of the PCI Bus bandwidth until it has completed it's task? Is there a function I can call in my C++ program prior to starting any data collection or do I have to set something in the PC OS?
In other words, I don't want the Windows 2000 handing over control to other things that want it until my program is completed. I only need about 10-12 secs of control....
Once the executable is running I actually go into task manager and set this process's priority to RealTime. I found this helped with this one PC which is running Windows 2000. However, I tried to see if I can run the same code on a different PC (same OS Windows 2000, and doing the RealTime priority) but it seems as on the original PC what took 9sec to run the new PC it took 14 sec and that's way too long. Needless to say I'm loosing data all over the place....
Please help...

afaik you can't get that level of control over the hardware. You could try a much faster dedicated PC, but windows isn't a realtime OS, and you can't force it to absolutely favor any one application over the remainder of the system. I don't know if a realtime OS (some linux variants qualify) would give you absolute control over the bus either. You could also try reducing the amount of hardware on the PCI bus. Im not sure that just PCI cards that use it though, so you'd need to research the mobo chipset to find out what if anything else is routed through it. Newerboards would probably be less likely to run devices off it instead of doing a direct Device-Northbridge-Cpu connection.

That sounds like you have a buggy shell extension installed. Start by looking in HKCR\*\ShellEx\ContextMenuHandlers - save a copy of that key to a .reg file, then delete the subkeys one by one until the problem goes away. If that doesn't fix it, keep searching for ContextMenuHandlers keys and repeat.
|

|

Hi Michael,
I see this path and It has four six keys but for ContextMenuHandlers I find many keys now i must delete all ContextMenuHandlers or no?
Thanks
|
|
|
|

Since the problem happens when you r-click anything, it's probably a handler in one of the keys that gets read for all files/folders, like HKCR\*, HKCR\Folder, HKCR\AllFileSystemObjects, etc. I wouldn't bother with any ContextMenuHandlers keys under an individual file type.

Hi,

If You know solution, please write me, Tom

Do you know where all your switches are? If so, just tracert the printers, and they won't be far from the switch which is likely to be the last but one item in the tracert.

The best you're going to do is remove the device driver, which will disable ALL the devices that driver supports. For instance, to remove the serial port driver, you'll use WMI to get the instance of a Win32_SystemDriver class who's Name propery is "Serial". A quick and dirty script would look something like this:
Set objLocator = CreateObject("WbemScripting.SWbemLocator")
Set objService = objLocator.ConnectServer(strServer, strNameSpace, strUserName, strPassword)
objService.Security_.impersonationlevel = 3
Set objInstance = objService.Get("Win32_SystemDriver='Serial'")
objInstance.Delete

Hi, does anyone know any resource that could guide us to use all filter in Event viewer?

Which API can I use to retrieve the workgroup name like GetComputerName can get the computer name?

|

NetWkstaGetInfo[^] You can use any of the WKSTA_INFO_1xx structures to get the name. You're looking for the wki10x_langroup field.
