Off to a customers site in an hour or so to rebuild a Windows 98 box that needs to logon to a Windows NT domain. Haven't had to do this in ages so the memory is a bit dodgy.
Memory tells me that I don't need to add the machine to the Domain via Server Manager as I would if it was a Windows NT/2000/XP machine. Is this correct.
To get the user logged on to the Domain is it as simple as changing the Network Settings to log on to a Microsoft Network/Client or whatever it is, and then enter the domain name in the appropriate box on the logon screen?
Have I missed anything obvious/important?

It's been years since I had to do this, but I believe that I did have to add the computer to the domain on the server, and in the networking applet had to specify that the client logs on to a WinNT domain. Since I was using the Small Business Server garbage the entire process was done by a wizard (which crashed and had to be reinstalled every time RRAS was installed) so I couldn't see the individual steps, but I checked the results on each client after connecting. If it gives you any trouble post a reply - I have the Win98 Resource Kit here and can give you the step-by-step from the book.

Finished this Tuesday night (it's Friday morning here now). Didn't have to reinstall Windows 98 so didn't have to worry about connecting it to a domain.
Ended up having bodgy versions of MPR.DLL and WINMM.DLL. Extracted the originals from the CAB files and all worked like a charm. No idea what caused the bodgy files to appear, their anti-virus program found nothing as did Ad-aware 6.

(using cygwin and tcsh shell on win2k )
I need to find a file with permission 755 .
find . -name "qq.txt" -perm 0755 -print
but doesn't find the file
it does find the file with
find . -name "qq.txt" -print
any idea ?
Thanks.

Just a guess, but maybe the file isn't exactly 0755 (maybe the suid/guid/sticky bits are set)? You can get the octal representation of the permissions of a file with:
<br />
chmod --reference=qq.txt -v qq.txt<br />
(it's a hack... if anybody knows a better way, I'd love to know  )

What is the prefered way to have either 2 different install of the same OS (Xp) on the same computer (don't aks why) ?
I want to be able to switch between 2 configurations of Xp at boot time.
Do I still need a boot loader (lilo, partitionmagic, ... ) ?
Thanks,
Maximilien Lincourt

Check out VMWare. http://www.vmware.com/[^] Another option is Partition Magic http://www.powerquest.com/[^]

Make two partitions, install XP once into each one. The startup menu will then let you choose which one to boot to.

Or you could just install another copy on the same partiton with different WINDOWS directory and it will be added automatically to the boot.ini.
I have XP, 2000 Pro and 2000 Advanced Server running on that configuration.

The problem with this is that the 'Program Files' folders get confused between the two versions.
It is best to install therm on different partitions. This will however require that you install your apps on both partitions.

Well, that really depends on the way application has been programmed.
If all the configuration settings are stored in the registry, it shouldn't be a problem (I have one copy of office for my 2k Pro and XP), however if any of the applications use other means of storing configuration data (such as .ini files) then application won't work.

Hi,
I have been using Windows Server 2003 till its RC1 and I have started using its own zipping function not WinZip or TurboZip. My question is in Windows Explorer we can see and open a random file in a zip file and then we can close it after reading for example. However, where does windows store this extracted file in, which directory?
Kind Regards,
|

Just doing a quick test (under XP) reveals that directories are created under "%HOMEPATH%\Local Settings\Temp" called "Temporary Directory # for blah.zip". This may be different in WS2K3. Easy way to test is just open up a ZIP file with an HTML doc, then double-click on the file and see what pops up in the browser address bar

Or just go to START and RUN and type %TMP%
If the environment variables are setup correctly it will give you the Temp Directory.

When you order a service to stop when it's really busy with something and may take to stop like 5-10 minutes for example, will system kill it anyway on its own at some point or it will wait infinitely for it to stop?  Same q for the all other requests.

Depends on how you write the service. You must report the status of your service at regular intervals to inform the SCM of your state. When you receive a request to stop, you set the service status to stopping. Then every few seconds you update the SCM and let it know you are still stopping. If the SCM does not receive an update within a reasonable amount of time it will assume you have stopped responding.
The same would be true during startup, pause, and continue. Just provide updated every few seconds. If you need to perform a really long operation that cannot be broken down into smaller portions then run that work in a seperate thread. Then in the main thread you wait a limited time for the worker thread to complete. If it does not finish you report your status and then wait again.

Hmmmm... Ok. I always thought that SCM makes calls to a service and not the other wayt around. How do you send anything back from service to SCM? Even would be a lot better is you know how to do that in C# service. Thanks a lot.

Well using C# I am not sure. I've seen C# and that is about it. In C++ using Win32 you would do something like this.
SetServiceStatus(m_tSvcStatusHandle, &m_tSvcStatus);
Do a search on MSDN for SetServiceStatus.

Also do you know how ro "register" or "re-register" a "source" to "log" for event logging?
I keep getting this
"The source 'MyService' is not registered in log 'Application'. (It is registered in log 'MyServiceLog'.) " The Source and Log properties must be matched, or you may set Log to the empty string, and it will automatically be matched to the Source property." exception after I tried to change the log to standard "application".

I have a clean fresh install of Windows XP and I have an ASUS video card with which came PowerDVD (renamed AsusDVD).
Previously with the same exact computer also running WinXP (corp version), it was working very fine. Now I install WinXP off a copy I bought and AsusDVD does not want to play DVDs, complaining about an winaspi.dll missing.
But I have no SCSI driver. I have done some searches on the problem on the Internet but the solutions are very confusing.
Can anybody help me here?

 hi, i'm new to linux. I currently need to explore the linux platform for my project. i'm using Mandrake.
i would like to know:
- how to run .exe file on linux.
- how to compile java on linux platform. There are a few jdk for linux( e.g. blackdown JDK, IBM JDK, Sun J2SE and Kaffe). May i know which to choose? Is it all of them are mostly the same, and i can pick anyone of them?
thanks in advance.

As Uma mentioned, you can use Wine. For stuff in which you absolutely need a Windows environment, but don't want to reboot into Windows, there's VMWare: http://www.vmware.com/[^]

I mainly use the Sun J2SE for my projects for the JRE (since it's the standard), but use IBM's free Jikes compiler (which is many times faster than Sun's javac). The downside to Jikes is that the error output can be downright cryptic at times, which is when I'll fall back to javac.
